+ | The game starts with the player character, and inhabitant of the city of [[Cierzo]], getting shipwrecked off the coast of their home city. They had previously inherited a debt called a '''Blood Price''' from their ancestors, a debt that must be periodically paid. A Blood Price affects all members of a given family, and the voyage was meant to pay it off. Now penniless, and despite having barely survived the deadly wreck, they are given only five days by the desperate townsfolk to pay off this debt and retain the family holdings. |
Once this debt has been paid, or the players home has been seized, the player is given multiple ways to react to their unfair situation and the true story begins. They can free themselves of their bloodline by joining the [[Holy Mission]] of Elatt, enter a new spotless bloodline by helping the [[Blue Chamber]] Collective, or free themselves of the entire system through the [[Heroic Kingdom]] of Levant. These three factions are trapped in a stalemate; the Blue Chamber wants to uphold the current status quo, the Kingdom of Levant wants to overthrow the unfair Blood Price system and let people live for themselves, and the Holy Mission similarly rejects the bloodline and social systems upheld by the Blue Chamber but only because it hinders the forming of a unified front against the common enemy of mankind, an otherworldly force called the [[Scourge]]. |
