Gather in the floating city Maginia, and aim for the treasure on the remote island of Lemuria in the distant sea.”
Under the decree of Princess Persephone, adventurers seeking unknown treasure and honor gather in the floating city Maginia from nations all over the world.

The fortune and honor sought by adventurers, and possibly unknown adventure lies dormant in Lemuria. Adventurers, Keep your pride in your heart, and move forward.
