The story begins in a nation called Corissan. Due to an unforeseen catastrophe, this nation has become stuck in a social, technological and even progressive depression after losing its two greatest idols: an eccentric inventor and a prodigy mage whose creations each sparked the now-passed Age of Invention. More than ninety years later, an inventor has found an artifact of this past called a "Gem" and uses it to create an invention he hopes will turn the nation around. What he gets instead is set off on an adventure that ultimately changes more than just his home, as he unlocks quite a few secrets of the past, present and future.
