Lore & Background

The game is set on the continent of Jugdral, divided among eight countries founded by the Twelve Crusaders, the ancient warriors who ended the rule of the dragon Loptous. Its chapters are split between the two generations, with the children of the first generation fighting in the second. Developers have said Jugdral lies in the same world as Archanea, the continent of the original games.
