Eluminage Original

Eluminage Original is a dungeon RPG in which you create a party of adventurers and search for five scattered rings. You explore dungeons, take on events and fight monsters as you work to restore the ward protecting the world of Haldorah Eir.

The story

Haldorah Eir was created by six wills and protected from unseen threats by wards made with six rings that hold the power of the gods. In the tower called the Dragon's Fang, the rings were enshrined. Priestesses seeking to bring down the Demon King broke the rings; although they also tried to destroy them, one ring endured, while the other five scattered across the world.

With the wards weakened, the world grew unstable and monsters became more powerful. Regional kings sent armies to search for the rings but failed, then called on adventurers to find the five missing rings and rebuild the ward of the Dragon's Fang. A similar call came from the Citadel of Transjerda, drawing adventurers to Trangelda with promises of wealth, honor and peace.

Create your characters

You can choose from nine races and 16 professions. For each character, you set a name, nickname, gender, personality and age. A character's race determines their initial ability values, and you allocate randomly awarded bonus points before choosing a profession. Professions require specific ability values, and the professions available to a character can depend on their gender and personality. Characters with good and bad personalities cannot join the same party.

Form a party

A party can have up to six members. You decide its composition and arrange three characters in the vanguard and three in the rear guard. Rear-guard characters cannot hit enemies with weapons that have an S range.

Find the five rings

Your main objective is to recover the five rings scattered throughout the world. Most are in dungeons, and their locations are randomized at the start of the game, so you need a compass to track them. The compass points toward the rings and responds more strongly as you offer it more Fame, which you earn by completing events.

Other events are also available, though completing them all is not required. Completing events can earn you Fame and GP, and some unlock new functions.
