Gonryun

About Gonryun

Story

A foreigner who arrives in Alberta is escorted to Prontera. After hearing about a civilization, King Tristan III orders a crew to sail and find this place. Despite all the hardships, the crew members finally establish a sea route to this newfound civilization. To this day, many people come and go to this new land. A place known for its stunning tourist attractions, sceneries, deep religious roots and impressive economic conditions. Despite their technological advancements, the people of Gonryun are a rather superstitious lot, worshipping deities known as "Hermits". These Hermits are an absolute power unto themselves, controlling human existence and limitations. Anyone can become a Hermit. The natives of Gonryun strived for perfection, believing that if they are good enough and work hard enough to achieve enlightenment, their souls would someday become one with the Hermits.

Unfortunately, not all who become Hermits remain good. Some are overwhelmed by their divinity, ending up being corrupted by it. They would use their power to do whatever they wish, regardless of how harmful or malicious the acts are. Neighboring cities and villages sometimes fear that these evil beings, now known as Evil Cloud Hermits, might someday upset the balance and cause great disasters for Gonryun.
