Chrysalis

Long before Noah built his ark, the tales tell of an ancient land
called Kiltia…a world where swords and sorcery reigned. Its
learning and power were swept away in the great flood, but
one clue to its secrets remained: an ancient book known as
the Gran Grimoire, hidden in darkness by the powers that once
were. It is not certain how many copies of the book still exist, but
it is said that whoever should hold one holds the power to
change the world. Many lived out their days searching the world for
surviving copies, but none were ever found. It was an
illusion, they said. A myth - but one worth dying for.

Our story begins soon after a young boy named Marche moves to the country
town of St. Ivalice. Marche's family has had a difficult past,
and all he can do to adjust to the new found country life is to depend
on his new friends; Mewt, a quiet and timid boy who often gets
picked on, and Ritz, a stellar student whose strong-willed nature
has made her unpopular at school. But one day, the three of them
come across an ancient magical book,
and St. Ivalice changes forever…
