n a most heinous crime, the manor

of Duke Bardorba of Valendia

Kingdom was seized by a cult of

religious fanatics known as

Müllenkamp. Although several innocents

were murdered, news of the incident was

suppressed, and Sydney Losstarot, the leader

of Müllenkamp, has not been seen since. 
Duke Bardorba was away during the seizure

of the manor and escaped the atrocities. 

Yet one week later, an unknown assailant

took the duke’s life. Riskbreaker Ashley

Riot, a member of the Valendia Knights of

the Peace (VKP) entrusted with breaking

the cultists’ hold on the manor, was named

as a suspect at a meeting of Parliament. 

He disappeared shortly after the accusation.
During the week between the incident and

the duke’s assassination, suspected assassin

Ashley made a peculiar trip to a city lost to

memory... The deserted city of Lea Monde.

Lea Monde, now a shell of its former glory,

housed more than 5,000 people during the

Golden Age. Its prosperity ended 25 years

ago when a powerful earthquake struck 

the city.
High tidal waters rushed in to fill the rift in

the earth left by the earthquake, cutting the

city off from the outside world. Above the

waters, the land shifted and twisted, losing

much of its former shape. Beneath the city,

where monks had once worked the stone

into chambers and passageways, the vast,

labyrinthine tomb became a home for the

souls of the dead.
The player will experience the crucial week

during Ashley’s visit to Lea Monde.
What happened in the haunted city?

Did Ashley really assassinate the duke?

Only the player, as Ashley, will be able to

uncover the truth.
