Synopsis:
Years after the devastating Salt Pale transformed North Ambria into Zemuria's most impoverished region, the remnants of its military have reorganized as the Northern Jaegers, a mercenary group striving for stability and economic recovery. The series follows Lavian "Lavi" Winslet, a skilled but quiet rookie seeking to prove herself within the Jaegers’ ranks. Assigned to investigate the Imperial Hero of Erebonia, Lavi uncovers layers of political complexity that challenge her understanding of the continent's power dynamics.
The narrative explores themes of economic hardship, national identity, and the consequences of past trauma. Set against a backdrop of societal division and cautious rebuilding, the story emphasizes character development within a pragmatic mercenary world. It offers a nuanced look at ambition and loyalty, as Lavi navigates dangerous missions and questions the true cost of progress in a fractured land.
