## Premise

"Watch as this group of cosplayers delve through the new continent of Glies within the world of Verum and face the challenges that lie in wait inside the growing mists."

## Synopsis

Our story begins in the far west of the continent of Glies, in the port city of Alexandria. 50 years have passed since the battle in the sky. The heroes of Kalkatesh had slain the Herald and restored a tumultuous peace throughout the continents of this world. However, new conflicts and newer tales begin their stories. There has been an increase in rumors about the dangers of the Mists of Glies that have historically only existed around the mountainous peaks that surround the Titan's Eye. In recent times, the Mists have spread further than normal, and now the eastern and western sections of the continent have been cut off from one another. This has separated families and ruined businesses, and now the slow, inexhaustible creep of despair begins to slowly eek its way into these peaceful lands.

Tasked by Levender Lance, six adventurers from Alexandria investigate an outpost on the edge of the Mist. They discover that the outpost was overtaken by the Mists, and only Captain Rembarand survived. They also discover that the Eclipse has somehow been able to cross the Mists and Titan's Eye, and operate on its western side. The adventurers bring this information and Rembarand back to Alexandria. Upon discussion with Levender, they are now tasked with finding a Kalkateshian cult that is thought to be able to travel through the Mist. They receive some information and a map from a merchant, and start their next journey.

Near the start of their journey, the party encounters an Onimetsu from the Night Cross, Obu Uzuki. He is hired by the party, and assists them with the remainder of their adventure. After surviving an encounter together with the two Bao-Bao Akuma, Yoka and Koka, the party eventually finds a complex within the Titan's Eye. Inside the complex they discover Minshi Sho, a scholar who is studying the Mist for the Eclipse. With his help, the adventures discover various documents and experiments being conducted inside the building. They find a a journal belonging to Not'Chek, and a contract between the Pale Emperor and Otikata. This contract is now tattooed on Vasily. At the end of the complex, the party finds a portal and travel to a demiplane. Inside the demiplane, the party meets the Angel, the Purging One. Upon destroying this entity, they learn the true nature of the Mist.
