Panselo Villagers

The **Panselo Villagers** are a group of settlers who live in the village of Panselo. The plot of Phoenotopia: Awakening is instigated by their mysterious disappearance.

## Main Story

At the very beginning of the game, when Gail first awakens, she is told by Grandma Nana to fetch the children, who are playing in the Doki Forest. In order to leave Panselo village, it is intended that Gail gets a bat, as Farnea says that it's too dangerous to go outside of the village walls without a weapon. After Gail leaves the Anuri Temple with the Golem Head, a rumbling occurs and the villagers are abducted, leaving only her and the children playing in the forest. Gail's primary motivation at the beginning of the story is to find a way to rescue the missing villagers and take care of the children.
