Once trapped in linearity, Lualdi now lives its grim past, its torrential present, and its cataclysmic future all at once. Second by second, the region marches towards a seemingly inevitable apocalypse that is shrouded in enigma not for what it will do, but why. The answers to the mysteries surrounding the impending calamity may lie deeper in the reaches of time than any may expect -- and somewhere with them is the answer to if Lualdi can even be saved or if it should be abandoned to its fate. But whatever you do, do so quickly... The apocalypse will not wait for you to make up your mind.
Owned by a cunningly wolfish businessman named Icarus Sorean, the Stantler Inn has outgrown its humble beginnings as a rundown hotel. The Stantler Inn has food and lodging as its name would suggest, but it attracts attention from people far and wide across Lualdi due to its "Quest Board". People seeking freelance work or those who require outside help for a job of some kind may find one another at the Stantler Inn. As such, the Stantler Inn is regularly busy with patrons who have less interest in the brown-and-green hotel itself and are more interested in the opportunities it offers.
