Plot
The game is set in the fantasy world of Reveria, which is made of the plains and mountains that center and surround the three lands of Castele, Port Puerto, and Al Maajik. Its rulers, King Erik of Castele, Olivia of Port Puerto, and Damien of Al Maajik spend their days ruling over their citizens and guiding them in their choice of the 12 available Life paths. One day this peaceful state is shattered when a strange purple meteorite falls into the house of the player, setting off a chain of events foretold in an ancient prophecy involving Reveria's goddess and the moon Lunares.
The player is asked by King Erik of the land of Castele to investigate these strange occurrences, as the meteorites, later dubbed Doomstones by the world's inhabitants, have the ability to fill creatures with dark, destructive energy. They are joined in this quest by a glowing butterfly that has the ability to speak. As the game progresses, the butterfly reveals that her real name and form is Yuelia, the daughter of Celestia, whom the people of Reveria worship as the Life Goddess.
They soon discover that the Doomstones are chunks of a dome that surrounds Reveria that has been slowly falling apart.
