A Farewell to Dragons tells a story of an ordinary man - Victor. It starts with a series of strange occurrences that seem to follow Victor wherever he goes. The last is a visit of an injured girl named Telle who seemingly knows what is going on and why. Having kindly volunteered to take her home, Victor is attacked by a group of mysterious people. Trying to flee, he falls off a cliff and loses consciousness. He awakes in the Middle World (where this RPG starts) - a mysterious world where anything can happen and no one is safe. Telle explains to Victor that she has been rejected by her home world, which she calls the Inside. Together with Victor, you will explore this strange New World, gain loyal friends and come across vengeful enemies. And, having passed a series of initiations, you will master magical powers. Eventually you will need to pass the last initiation in the faraway Outer World Castle on the Dragon Island and seal the fate of the Middle World!

Here's Victor's skills - you choose how he develops.
