Generations ago, invaders brought magic to the Kingdom of Jubai. The subsequent rise of the battlemage class meant the oppression of normal folk. The only people who can stand up to the magic-wielding nobility now are the mage hunters—a secret organization which raises orphans like yourself. An initiate of Phoenix Chapter, you are now of age to join the resistance against magic-users. And to wield the power of slipflame.
Slipflame, the incredible energy that powers hunter technology, is channeled into three forms: Brutal Flame, Living Flame, and Silent Flame. Will you go in blasting explosive bolts from your bow, or will you sneak in with the aid of silence bombs? Will you attack with a superheated blade, or control enemies with puppet darts? And when it comes time to rise up against the mages, will you stay loyal to Phoenix Chapter, or find your own path?
