Eons ago, after a cataclysm that literally and figuratively shattered the world, the first kings of Roncefleur and Kikuseki were given three magical scepters to develop their budding nations.

This is the only part of the legend that both empires agree on. Roncefleur claims that they were given two scepters, and Kikuseki seized the Morph Magic Scepter from them. Kikuseki claims they were given two scepters, and Roncefleur has tried to seize the Morph Magic Scepter from them ever since. They have fought over the three scepters for eons, pulling neighboring nations into their conflict and growing into vast empires encompassing their whole continents.

Currently, Roncefleur is outraged that Kikuseki prospers with both the Light Magic Scepter and Morph Magic Scepter, while Roncefleur languishes with only the Dark Magic Scepter. Both empires stand on the threshold of war, but Dawn, a princess on the run, have created new complications. Will you and your newfound allies be the heroes your allied empire needs, stay neutral, maintain stability, create change, foster peace or climb the ladder of chaos? Will you prevent a war, or will you instigate it?

The time has come to fight for what you have or fight for what you lack.Transform Yourself and the Story
Morph magic contains ultimate transformative power. Transformations change traits such as physique, size, skills, identity, personality and more!
Transformations impact the gameplay as well as the story. They can change character’s classes and how they function in both battle and exploration maps.

Morph magic isn’t the only way characters can transform. Their circumstances and choices lead them down different paths in each storyline. Your choices transform you, your brigade and the entire story. Each choice you make compounds upon the next. They branch out to seven storylines that introduce new locations, new lore, new plot points, new characters, new transformations, new friendships, and new themes. Your goals and where your loyalty lies are determined by cumulative choices.

Did you make the right choices? You’ll discover that the hard way.Recruit Dozens of Characters
Recruit a vast, diverse cast of characters of different species, allegiances, cultures, religions, worldviews, fighting styles, talents, classes, backgrounds and values. Different storylines radically change the composition of your brigade, who joins or leaves and the relationship dynamics between members.

Using the right combination of diplomacy and strategy, you can even recruit characters from the opposing faction! Be careful, because choosing to recruit one character can prevent you from recruiting another. Your choices matter!
