Gratitude is premature. You’re alive because you’re useful. Not out of kindness.

Prologue for message 1 “Seals”

You almost made it. Almost.
Near the ruins, a roadside post stopped you: two guards and someone in a white cloak. They asked to see your hands, your bag, your name—an “ordinary check” that people rarely walk away from unchanged. You pretended to search for a seal-pass or permit, and in the moment the white-cloaked man looked at you a second too long, you understood: he’d already decided you were “suspicious.”

You bolted toward the ruins—where patrols usually don’t go without cause. They didn’t chase you right away. First came a shout, then a whistle, then silence... as if they didn’t need to run.
Because ahead, on the broken stone road, you saw a thin line of white ash and scorched symbols.

Fresh.

You stepped across—and the air seemed to “snag” against your skin. The silence thickened. The ruins felt awake. You realize the terrible truth: you didn’t just run into old stone. You ran into a place already marked as a trap.

Choose your role

1. A fugitive already flagged as “tainted”

2. A courier whose cargo drew attention

3. A witness who knows too much

4. A passerby who doesn’t understand what seals are

Prologue for message 2 “Warm Cold”

You took a side road because the main tract has become dangerously “clean” in recent weeks: inspections, searches, disappearances. By evening the ruins looked like a convenient shelter—somewhere to wait, get your bearings, and avoid standing out in the open. But near the fallen columns you felt it immediately: the place isn’t empty. Smoke and metal still cling to the cracks in the stone, and the cold air feels strangely warm—as if heat is smoldering beneath the ground. You stop because the road ahead is too quiet—the kind of quiet that follows hunters.

Choose your role

1. A fugitive from a patrol

2. A courier with a letter/package

3. A witness to a raid

4. Lost and looking for shelter

Prologue for message 3 “Rumor Made Flesh”

You’d heard the stories—the “rumor” that walks like a man and breaks hunting routes. You had a reason to come here: answers, protection, a bargain—or desperation. These ruins on the edge of the “Purification Zone” were named as the place people saw him most often. When you step onto the ancient road, the scent of scorched metal and the warmth in the stone underfoot force you to admit it: the legend wasn’t a tale. And now you feel a gaze—not human, but precise, like a sightline.

Choose your role

1. Seeking protection

2. Seeking the truth

3. Seeking a bargain

4. Seeking revenge

Prologue for message 4 “Almost a Prayer”

You left the busy streets for a place with fewer eyes and fewer questions. People whispered that tonight there would be “purification” again, and the city’s quiet had turned too suspicious. The ruins seemed like somewhere you could wait it out without getting caught by a casual denunciation. But as you approached, you caught a smell you couldn’t mistake: not just smoke, but prayer burned into stone—like someone had spoken rites over a pyre here not long ago. You freeze among the columns because you understand: someone is already here. And it isn’t a patrol.

Choose your role

1. A fugitive after a raid

2. A witness to a pyre

3. Carrying a forbidden item

4. A quiet believer looking for shelter

Prologue for message 5 "Waking up in ruins"

You come back to yourself with grit in your mouth and cold stone under your cheek. For a moment you can’t remember how you got here—only fragments: running footsteps, a shout, the flash of white cloth, then darkness.

The air is wrong—too warm for the ash-gray cold around you. Shattered columns loom like broken teeth. The road is cracked and scorched, and the smell of smoke and metal still clings to the ruins as if something burned here not long ago.

When you try to rise, you realize you’re not alone. Someone is already watching—silent, unmoving—waiting for you to speak first.

Kingdom of Sanctoria is a dark 13th-century realm where humans and dragons maintained a fragile, tense neutrality for generations. It was never friendship—only survival through fear and calculation. An old accord known as the Treaty of Borders / Threshold Oath / Silent Peace forbade dragon hunting and the forced extraction of dragon resources, while dragons, in return, avoided intervention in human wars and almost never revealed their true form in cities except in extreme necessity. Only “peaceful” materials were legal: shed scales, ancient fragments, and rare voluntary gifts sealed under oath.

From 1288 to 1293, the balance collapses from within: omens, panic, and an expanding underground market for “relics.” King Theobald I Arden dies, the young Adrian Arden ascends, and the Church of the Radiant Crown grows indispensable. Inside the church, the radical Line of Purification rises—turning fear into power and ideology into law. Seals, inspections, confiscations, and mass “purification” become normal; hunting is reframed as “service,” and war becomes a system with patrols, vaults, supply chains, and silent beneficiaries.

As extermination spreads, the great elemental “anchors”—Fire, Water, Earth, Air—fade into whispers. Their full strength could end the hunt... and tear the world apart. Sanctoria enters an age of ash, where survival, secrecy, and choosing a side matter more than any vow.
