Meet the Dreadknights

Over the course of your adventure, you will meet Katva's eight dreadknights--his most loyal servants that report directly to him.

So far, three of their identities are known:

Lytas: A demon who's sole purpose is to further Katva's ambition. She wields a scythe and uses dark magia. She is the most common dreadknight that Miresa and co. runs into. She first encounters Miresa when Miresa attempts to receive the water sigil. She encounters Miresa frequently throughout the game.

Atlas: A human with dark magia. He grew up feeling awkward about his ability to wield dark magia, although he was never discriminated against. He left his hometown when he became an adult, so that he could travel the seas by ship. During a hurricane, he was saved by Katva's army. Katva earned his respect and he pledge his life to the demons. Atlas deals with operations that have to deal with ships and the sea. He wields a rapier but also carries a small handheld telescope. He first encounters Miresa as she tries to save Neras from the demons' plot. He is then defeated and is later fought throughout the game in various operations.

Ulvic: Ulvic is a human mage who's known for his talent in magia. He's also considered "wasted potential" as most Shokiyans who know him feel it's a shame that such a talented mage is serving the demon lord instead of being a hero. Ulvic is the least frequently seen Dreadknight, and is only seen in a few operations. Although the only weapon he wields is a mage's book, he's a very strong magician and doesn't go down without a fight.

The other five dreadknight's identities are currently unknown, but once they are revealed they will receive their own post

Optional Dungeons

I've mentioned before that Katva can transform himself into many things, including a human being. It's in this form he will guide you towards a number of optional challenge dungeons.

The challenge dungeons are a bit shorter than the main dungeons, and contain harder puzzles and enemies (some of which can only be seen in challenge dungeons) But if you can defeat the equally challenging bosses, you will be rewarded with rare and unique weapons, armor, and items--some of which you can only get in the challenge dungeons.

Digital Viginette: The Night of the Awakening

Done in dialogue, courtesy of my partner:

"There you are, Miresa."

"Oh, hello Arune. You must be wondering why I'm out on this hill so late at night."

"Yes, I figured it had to do with you becoming the Gemsinger."

"Well, yes. I was just awakened as the Gemsinger today, and, I wanted a place to sing. I want to see if I can sing a spell."

"Didn't we already help Losi become a member of the Sapphire clan? You looked confident when you were summoning your spells to fend off some of the monsters that attacked in that cave."

"I know, but I still wasn't able to control my spells well. I just started actually casting magic, and I'm not sure I'll be able to master them until I get the Earth Sigil. Speaking of which, I'm not looking forward to that."

"Why so, Miresa?"

"It is said that as soon as I gather the Earth Sigil, the demon lord will sense my presence and know the Gemsinger has awakened. Then, our group will be followed and hunted by demons."

"Do not worry. That's what your friends are for. We'll be with you all the way there."

"That does help cheer me up. But I wouldn't say I'm completely distressed. I'm happy to have been chosen by Meikon to be the Gemsinger."

"I'm surprised at how quickly you have accepted the task of being the Gemsinger!"

"I'm still shocked by the outcome, but I want to protect Shokiyu. Even if I'm going to be chased by demons. I just hope I can become a better mage. I mean, what if I somehow fail to receive the Earth Sigil, or fail to cast another spell?"

"I'm sure that won't happen. Meikon chose you for a reason."

"You're right, Arune. Thank you for your kind words."

"So, if you do want to sing, I'll be here to listen."

"It does help to have an audience while performing. All right, here goes..."
