■ Prologue
Do the depths of space forbid peace for mankind—
Centuries after leaving Earth, after a multitude of trials, with the creation and spread of the ‘Galactic Federation,’ humanity was on the verge of unified order and peace.
But the embers of conflict have begun to burn again.
Over 6,000 light years from Earth, on the unsettled planet, ‘Feycreed.’
Just as so many times before, the waves of history begin from a remote planet.
The Leslia Kingdom. A continent representative of a major power, it is surrounded on three sides, has a warm climate, and is blessed with natural beauty and rich soil.
But despite the fact that this country should have been more powerful than its neighbors, its people’s peace was always being disturbed. Between a spellmark that caused animals to turn ferocious and a band of thieves called Eitron wreaking havoc in the frontier regions, Leslia was plunged into an unstable period known as “The Dark 7 Years.” Stahr, a village located on the southern edge of the kingdom, was brought to verge of collapse.
One young man stood up to face this crisis…
Fidel Camuze…
His father was a royal fencing instructor, and he himself is a swordsman who teaches. He leaves on a journey accompanied by his old friend who was raised as his sibling, Miki.
This voyage would take them into battle and change the fate of the stars.
■ Locations
The Planet “Feycreed”
A planet 6,000 light years from Earth and not yet explored by the Pangalactic Federation. Its biggest continent is Vestir, where half of the planet’s population resides. Its culture and technology are equivalent to 15th to 16th era Earth, but with spellmark mages able to wield magic, it has achieved its own unique advancements.
Leslia Kingdom
A blessed kingdom covered in fertile land and located in Vestir. It is surrounded by a large mountain range, which makes it a natural fortress. For more than 300 years the royal Bariff family has ruled the kingdom, which has grown to become the continent’s most powerful country.
However, after falling into a period known as “The Dark 7 Years,” the remnants of what are said to be its symbols of peace and fortune are gradually fading. The kingdom has a friendly relationship with the neighboring Randock Kingdom, which provides resources necessary for spellmark magic, military alliances, and such.
Outskirts of the Leslia Kingdom
Fidel and Miki live in Stahr Village, which is located in the southern edge of the Leslia Kingdom. Because it’s facing the coast, fishing makes up its villagers’ main labor. The outskirts of the Leslia Kingdom are mainly covered in harmonious land, but after “The Dark 7 Years,” violent monsters and creatures that use spellmark magic have begun to threaten the people.
Unknown World • Technology
A separate dimension space, and advanced science and technology. The heroes’ adventure won’t just take place on Feycreed—they’ll also visit unknown worlds like this one. Across these worlds, a unique Star Ocean series story will unfold combining both fantasy and science-fiction.
