Synopsis:

On the continent of Cruzon, poised on the brink of conflict between the Kingdom of Krisna and Athens, society is deeply intertwined with the power of quartz crystals. Rygart Arrow exists apart from this world, an anomaly as an "un-sorcerer" incapable of channeling quartz energy. This difference unexpectedly grants him a unique path: he is the only one who can pilot a dormant Golem, an ancient construct of immense strength. As Athens' forces advance, Rygart finds himself thrust into a desperate struggle for survival and the fate of his homeland. The series explores themes of societal division, individual potential, and the burden of responsibility in a world defined by both progress and tradition. It presents a character-driven narrative set against a backdrop of impending war, examining how one person's perceived weakness becomes their greatest asset.
