Across the great expanse of the Endless Ocean lies the Arkadera Peninsula, a distant region that once marked the western edge of the Empire. As the years passed and the Empire’s presence began to fade, the outposts that once protected Arkadera’s citizens were gradually reclaimed by nature, leaving behind a small community to take refuge in the walled haven of Whitewall Town.

Eager to prove their skills in the field, ambitious Royal Army ‘Pathfinder’ Alice Skylar and plucky local guide Dusty Tuftkin join up with the Royal Academy Expedition Team on its mission to reopen Whitewall Town’s fabled errand house, explore the wide peninsula, and restore the long-forgotten outposts.

But as the expedition journeys farther into the north, rumours of a mysterious figure deep within the wilderness slowly begin to surface…

Alice Skylar – An ambitious, young Royal Army Pathfinder, Alice has been sent to the Arkadera Peninsula to support the Royal Academy’s Expedition Team as they survey the wilds and help reconnect Whitewall Town with the rest of the Empire. As a child, she studied at the Academy, where Whitewall’s apothecary, Periwinkle, nurtured her love of herbalism and potioncraft. Thanks to her education Alice earned a place in the Royal Army’s new pathfinder program, where she blossomed into a skilled fighter, eventually graduating at the top of her class. Bright and conscientious, Alice understands how important her first real-world assignment is, and she’s determined to give it her all!

Dusty Tuftkin – An energetic youth from Arkadera’s Whitewall Town, Dusty is currently training as an apprentice baker under the watchful eye of his uncle Louis. Inspired by stories of his mother, a legendary warrior on a campaign in a distant land, Dusty dreams of a more adventurous life. He’s even gone so far as to appoint himself as the town’s ‘unofficial’ protector, and regularly explores the wilderness outside its walls, much to the dismay of his aunt Wisteria. Upon learning of Alice’s imminent arrival and the Expedition Team’s mission, Dusty sees his chance and volunteers to be their local guide.
