MEET VALTHIRIA’S RESIDENTS

Eve

Faction – Academy

A green haired girl with an endless supply of energy, Eve was once a promising graduate at the Academy. Rather than be a heroine and venture out to face monsters, she chose to join the academic workforce to shape the next generation of heroes. Now, she is assigned to be the secretary of the new principal, You.

Always dreaming of making her mark on the world, her goal to become a principal herself means that she will keep studying your decisions even more closely.

Leonid Marlen

Faction: Mokosil

Coming from the reclusive Mokosil tribe, Leonid defies all stereotypes and decides to study Arcwork. Full of knowledge unknown to most, there’s always something to learn from this young student.

More progressive than most of his kindred, there is a clash between his tribe’s tradition and the technology he wishes to pursue. As principal you can encourage his studies further, while also discovering something new yourself.

Vilko Baskin

Faction: Chernov

An uptight nobleman who values the legacy of his family name, Vilko is starting to see the flaws of rigid tradition. Somewhat the black sheep of the family, Vilko decided to branch out from his Chernov family of Knights and train as a mage in secret.

Coming from a family of heroes, Vilko can be a bit spoiled and think he’s destined for greatness. As you get to know him however, you’ll notice that he’s a diligent man with noble intentions. A diamond in the rough, will he succeed in becoming a mage or return to his family tradition and become a knight?

Esra Alexei

Faction – Perkuna

A prodigy in Arcworks, Esra yearns to seek out things she missed out on while being smothered by her family. Away from her parents in Perkuna, Esra hopes to experience things as a ‘normal’ girl instead of her life as nobility.

Powerful, courteous and ladylike, as long as she can control her innate ability for Arcworks, Esra has the makings of becoming a well-renowned hero. Just make sure her insecurities don’t get the best of her.
