■ Story
Ennakamuy, a vassal state of Yamato located in the outlands is home to a young man who lives with his mother and little sister.
One day, while this man is investigating a minor matter at the behest of the Owlo (Emperor), he encounters a mysterious girl.
She tells him something unbelievable—that his father, thought to be dead, is actually still very much alive.
In search of the truth, he decides to leave his village and head for Arva Shulan, a mysterious country that does not exist on any maps.
He surpasses one obstacle after another to retrace his father’s footsteps.
Along the way, he meets up with like-minded companions, going through hardships, happiness, setbacks, and painful separations together.
As fate would have it, the man finds himself being slowly swept into the middle of a critical turning point in history.
This is the story of a man who later becomes “Utawarerumono”—those who are lauded.
