Formerly a thriving maritime hub, Tristia was a breathtaking ocean city adorned with riches and recognized as the "jewel of the seas." Now a hollow shell of its former self, it was left in ruins by relentless dragon attacks that robbed it of its luster. Despite continuous rebuilding attempts, the city struggled to recover and became a desolate and abandoned place. In a desperate attempt to salvage their city, the Tristians sought the expertise of the eminent cityscape artist, Prospero Flanka, who had a reputation for rejuvenating dilapidated cities. After months of anticipation, Prospero finally arrived in Tristia, only to be met by a young girl at the port. He wasted no time in delegating his granddaughter, Nanoka, to aid him in his mission to rebuild the city.
