World
The Land of Deep Snow: Reimdahl - An extremely cold theocracy shrouded in snow and ice. An existing legend states that a dragon saved the country about 1000 years ago; that led to the founding of the Reimdahl Orthodoxy religion which reveres its savior as the God Dragon. The current supreme priest of the religion is the Oracle Asterisk Holder Domenic. It is said in the country that evil fairies morph into humans, so the Inquisitor Helio sets out to find these fairies and send them to Divine Judgment.
Characters
Gwilym - A small lizard-like creature that suddenly appeared when Seth's party heads towards Reimdahl. Able to speak human language, it claims to be the son of the God Dragon and had also met Adelle before.
Dragoon Asterisk Holder: Martha Lancer - A spearwoman from the Lancer family which has assumed the "Dragon Shrine Guardian" position for generations. The Dragon Shrine is said to be a holy site where the God Dragon lives. She has a duty to guard the place just like her title.

Gameplay Systems

Clearing some of these subquests may reveal more sides of the game's world and characters, including the protagonists or even defeated Asterisk Holders like Dag and Selene.
Bind and Divide card game: A popular versus card game in the Excillant continent. Each player freely constructs a deck with any 6 cards from Monster cards (which can possess territories) to Job and Character cards (which have special effects that buff or nerf specific monsters). Players draw a card and gain territories every turn. The player with the biggest territory after the final turn wins. The B&D card game is also available to play in the Final Demo.
