A World that's Ending

ARIE: Moonprayer is set in an unknown pre-apocalyptic world where the moon is falling and caused counter tides. The oceans has not only submerged the land but also obliterated civilization. Mountain Caelum, the highest mountain range of the former world, has turned into the last remaining refuge which is Cerul Island.

The Ascension Ability

In addition to the falling moons, there's also harmful "moon dust" drifting down which has resulted in human lifespans shortening to three or four decades. As they're plunged into despair and fear, humanity has since ceased to gaze upon the crimson moon. However, there are two individuals who climbed Mountain Caelum and gazed upon the moon and resulted in unexpectedly obtaining the supernatural ability to use melody to send the departed back to the moon. This power is known as "Ascension" and has given rise to the faith of "Luna."

A New Adventure

Decades after that, as the moon approaches Earth, the power of Ascension has been passed to the protagonist, Diallo. However, humanity continues to dwindle, and the faith has become mere ritual. On the eve of Diallo preparing to pass on the Ascension ability, he is confronted by the sudden visit of the female protagonist, Raye, marking the beginning of their journey into the apocalypse.
