■ Characters
Professor Albert Russell (voiced by Jim Meskimen in English, Yoku Shioya in Japanese)
Age: 68
A genius orbal engineer of the Liberl Kingdom.
A free-spirited, eccentric orbal engineer.
Professor Russell is a legendary genius who paved the way in advancing orbal technology. He founded the Zeiss Engineering Factory (now the Zeiss Central Factory), and is credited with inventing the modern-day airship.
He is also recognized as one of the three great disciples of Professor C. Epstein, the inventor of orbments.
Kilika Rouran (voiced by Meli Grant in English, Haruka Michii in Japanese)
Age: 27
A receptionist of the Bracer Guild’s Zeiss branch.
A woman from the Calvard Republic who serves as the receptionist for the Zeiss branch of the Bracer Guild.
Always thinking two or three steps ahead and preparing for the worst-case scenario, Kilika possesses remarkable analytical skills that far exceed what would be expected of a guild receptionist.
She is also said to be well-versed in martial arts, and has known the bracer Zin from the Republic for many years.
Major Maximillian Cid (voiced by John Patneaude in English, Kengo Takanashi in Japanese)
Age: 32
The commanding officer of Leiston Fortress.
Major Cid is a deeply sincere individual who holds military discipline to the highest standard. His actions have earned him the trust and respect of his subordinates.
As a versatile fighter who excels in both swordsmanship and orbal arts, Cid’s skill ranks among the very top in the entire Royal Army of Liberl.
Maintenance Chief Gustav (voiced by Andrew Kishino in English, Makoto Sahara in Japanese)
Age: 48
The maintenance chief of the Zeiss Central Factory, easily recognizable by his bandana and unshaven stubble.
Despite his no-nonsense, hard-working personality, he also possesses a surprisingly easygoing side, showing patience and understanding toward Factory Chief Murdock’s anxieties and Professor Russell’s troublesome tendencies.
Gustav also works as the chief overseer of the factory ship Leibnitz, the pride of Zeiss. His skills as a mechanic are highly regarded by everyone around him.
■ Locations
Industrial City of Zeiss
The heart of the Kingdom of Liberl’s orbment production industry.
A city in which innovative technologies such as escalators, elevators, and even lane-changing airship landing ports are all made possible through orbments. Beneath the streets of Zeiss lies an extensive orbal factory, boasting some of the most advanced technology on the continent.
At the forefront of cutting-edge orbal research and development is the Zeiss Central Factory, which also serves as the city’s administrative hub. Its Factory Chief, Murdock, acts as the mayor of Zeiss.
Elmo Village
Situated near the border with the Republic of Calvard to the east, this village is renowned for its hot springs.
Though Elmo is a small village with just the Maple Leaf Inn and a single souvenir shop, its open-air baths offer a liberating atmosphere and are highly rated by tourists. Many visitors from abroad return for the relaxing experience.
A relatively large number of villagers in Elmo have Eastern origins, and the architecture and interior decor reflect a distinctly Eastern aesthetic.
Leiston Fortress
Located on the southern shore of Valleria Lake, this fortress serves as the headquarters of Liberl’s Royal Army.
Several times larger than Haken Gate in northern Bose, Leiston Fortress operates under the vigilant supervision of Major Cid, the garrison’s commanding officer. Here, soldiers diligently train and fulfill their duties.
Ten years ago, during the Hundred Day War with the Erebonian Empire, this very fortress was the only one that did not fall to Imperial forces. As a result, it served as the base for the Royal Army’s desperate counteroffensive.
Found in the expansive Tratt Plains southeast of Zeiss, this impressive ancient ruin is thought to have been constructed around 1,200 years ago.
True to its name, the structure seems to symbolize flames and the vibrant hue of carnelia, the fire septium. The tower’s interior is illuminated by flickering torches, and artifacts made of carnelia have been discovered within its walls.
■ Notebook System
In Trails in the Sky the 1st, you can use shortcuts to access a variety of notebooks useful on your adventure, such as the “Bracer Notebook” that automatically documents quest details, the “Battle Notebook” that registers enemy details, and the “Cooking Notebook” useful for making food.
Bracer Notebook
Automatically documents details related to quests accepted at the Bracer Guild’s bulletin board, as well as major story-related events. Additionally, when a quest is completed, a quest-specific photo is added alongside a few words from Estelle.
Cooking Notebook
Documents the dishes that Estelle and company eat on their journey, and enables you to make dishes using the ingredients in your possession. By making dishes, various special effects will occur, such as increasing your party members’ abilities for the first time. By making certain dishes, Estelle and company may even be inspired to come up with their own arrangements…
Battle Notebook
Automatically registers enemy information by either “defeating” or “stunning” them in battle. You can check information such as basic stats and weaknesses, dropped items, and so on, allowing you to take on enemies with a strategic advantage.
Reading Books
Books obtained in the game, such as the Liberl News or novels, will automatically be added to your list of readable content.
