■ STORY

EMBARK ON A GRAND ADVENTURE!!
K'sarian is like many Fennic his age. He is recently out of school, and he is deep into debt. He wishes to be able to do research, but his world is taken for a loop when his contract is sold by his friend Merric to the mysterious Priest Sky.
What perils await K'sarian as he follows Sky through the world of ALASTERE? Can K'sarian's unique skills keep him safe?

■ THE WORLD

The World of Alastere can be a dangerous one! It is important to know some important things.

■ RACES

The Del are made up of four different races, each with strengths and weaknesses.

THE URA
A proud race of Del who prefer to solve problems themselves than rely on magic too extensively. An Ura would never trust their fate to machines!

THE LAGRE
A race of Del who have strong elemental magic. Valuing impulse and quick thinking, a Lagre always tries to follow their heart, wherever that leads them.

THE FENNIC
A smaller race of Del who make up for their physical shortcomings with powers of the mind. Why should a Fennic settle when a problem can be solved better?

THE DRAGO
A race of Del with a strong link to light and dark magics. Calm and collected, a Drago can be seen as distant, although they are passionate for what they believe in.

HALF-BLOODS
Due to the closed cultures of many Del, Half-Bloods are generally shunned, symbols of shame for their different parents. A half-blood Del would likely hide their secret very well...
