This is adapted from the visual novel version of the story that never ended up being finished.
This story is woven through several different perspectives and time periods, which will hopefully not be too confusing! Each section specifies the perspective.
Original notes below:
The amusing back-story of this story: Me and a group of friends were planning to release an RPG (video game) and spent a while coming up with a world and characters for it. We never did get our act together to build the game, and I was a little lukewarm on where the story was going anyway. Later on this emerged based roughly on the world, so I guess you could say that it's fan-fiction for a game that never was. It takes place a thousand years after the RPG would have.

Casilan. A world with many faces, covered almost entirely in water. Only a small continent and a few islands remain of its previous bounty of land... and most of that is covered in deserts.
Most of the desert region is populated by one people, the Relians, and most of them live in the coastal capital city, Relia. To Relians fall the powers of Mana, the channelling and guiding of the arcane forces concentrated in Tear Stones.
On the eastern island, the Carads, possessed of extraordinary mental abilities, live mostly in their jewel of a city, Rajma. Through their many inventions and aspirations, they've built a comfortable life powered by Tear Stone.
Few are aware that the first whispers of a cataclysmic change have begun. Into this unsuspecting world, an unlikely drama is about to unfold.
