At times, these pages guide you toward solving scripted mysteries - but most of the time, you’re filling out these pages simply to learn about the game world on your own terms.

As protagonist Estelle leaves home for the first time, she’s captivated by the sights and people of Tieng Valley, alive and hurting and transforming as they face the threat of an incoming cataclysm.
