The game is set in the eastern lands of Azuma. It has become a shadow of its prosperous past resulting from the effects of the Celestial Collapse and the cessation of power that were provided by the runes. Being weakened by the corruptive forces, the gods of nature made the decision to retreat from the world resulting in the mountains crumbling and fields withering. As the people of Azuma look for help, a hero enters into a contract with a dragon and sets out on a journey.
The game introduces players to a new adventure in a never-before-seen country of Azuma. Players get to take on the role of an Earth Dancer, one who’s destined to bring back hope and life to the once thriving land. They get to farm, restore, and even build whole villages. Of course, they also get to fight using new weapons. The game actually has players choose from one of two protagonists whose fates are in fact closely tied together.
The world of Azuma is vast and more than ready for players to explore. There are majestic villages to uncover with each one getting inspiration from Japanese culture. Each village also has a seasonal theme.
