About YGGDRA UNION
Ruled by a royal family said to be descendants of the gods themselves, Fantasinia
is a prosperous and peaceful land -- until the peace is shattered by the invading
forces of the Empire of Bronkia.
Led by the young emperor Gulcasa, who seized control of the Empire in a brutal
coup d'etat, Bronchia's Imperial Army cuts a bloody swath through the people
of Fantasinia and the Royal Armies of King Ordeene.
Amidst the chaos, a young woman escapes from the besieged capital of Partina
-- a woman with innocence in her face, and a sword in her hand.
The girl's name is Princess Yggdra, the last surviving member of the royal family;
the sword is the Gran Centurio, a legendary blade once wielded by the founder
of Fantasinia, and passed down through generations of royalty.
Fleeing to a remote valley at the southern tip of the continent, Yggdra meets
up with an unusual thief named Milanor, a chivalrous young man destined to help
her liberate the people of her kindgom...
