Synopsis:

In the world of Auldrant, society operates under the rigid framework of the Score, ancient prophecies believed to determine every aspect of existence. This belief fuels a protracted conflict between the nation of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear and the Malkuth Empire, both striving to realize the Score's promised utopian future through force.

The narrative follows Luke von Fabre, a young man haunted by amnesia and confined to his family estate. His life is irrevocably altered when an encounter with Tear, a mysterious woman attempting to assassinate his master, throws him into unexpected exile. Forced to journey together, Luke and Tear find themselves embroiled in a larger struggle – one that challenges the very foundation of Auldrant's society. Their quest promises to either uphold or shatter the established order dictated by the Score, forcing them to confront difficult truths about fate and free will along the way.
