Plot

DRAKUST: HEROES OF OLD "You think you knew Drakust? You didn't... But you will." You were brought into a world you cannot yet save. To play a role you should never have had to. More than 500 years before Drakust's present era, something appeared that was never meant to exist within this world. Its existence threatens a story that had already been written. The eastern continent prepares for war. The western lands prepare to survive it. Hatred spreads. Fear spreads. And perhaps, amidst it all, you will come to understand your purpose. Still, your choices remain your own. You may save people. You may shorten suffering. You may change lives. Although ultimately, some tragedies are part of history itself. Drakust's destiny is a fragile road to tread. May its whispers guide your way. EXPLORE A WORLD BEFORE HISTORY IS WRITTEN EGALIA — Places of Interest RadiensariaHuman capital preparing for war.

GAMEPLAY SYSTEMS Drakust: Heroes of Old is designed as a large-scale narrative RPG where exploration, choices and relationships shape every adventure. Throughout your journey, you may: Find and recruit companions who may travel alongside you throughout the rest of your adventure. Learn new magical elements by discovering Legendary Spell Tomes hidden throughout Drakust. Explore optional dungeons containing generated loot and unique Legendary rewards. Choose which kingdoms, tribes and factions to support, permanently influencing future battles, alliances and story events. Unlock optional story routes, exclusive encounters and character-specific events through your decisions and exploration. Your actions can lead you toward the Good Path, Dangerous Path or Bad Path, each permanently altering future opportunities and story progression. Master a structured magic system governed by strict rules. Magic cannot be improvised, bypassed or used before it has been legitimately learned. Exploration will be rewarded. Some companions, locations, rewards and story content can only be discovered through specific choices, exploration or timing. CAST Excalibur Vindraval A battle-worn knight carrying unwavering conviction. Rumors say some encounters happen only if you choose people over comfort. Kaya Blightlight A rising military icon admired across Egalia. Some opportunities appear when power reaches out first. Tyrie Skrutr A playful demon whose smile hides far more than mischief. Some shadows become interesting when curiosity wins. Raedis Ignispes The living hope of Wrazu. Warm enough to save hearts, powerful enough to burn armies. Flarei Cielblanc Energetic, impulsive and impossible to ignore. Some meetings begin faster than words. Varissia Reinarus The Apex of Wrazu. A mountain of strength feared by her enemies but loved by her people. Xiridith Bloodcrest A mysterious presence tied to darker corners of the world. Not every path is meant to feel comfortable. Helyzea Fusurrae A gentle soul connected to mysteries older than kingdoms themselves. Some encounters feel strangely familiar. YOUR PATHS THROUGH TIME AND HISTORY Every adventure unfolds inside the same living world. Its history, characters, conflicts and rules already exist before your journey begins. As your adventure progresses, Drakust continuously manages multiple interconnected systems, including: story phases and progression mandatory and optional story triggers persistent world state route and consequence tracking character knowledge and information timing companion and relationship progression cinematic story events permanent decisions and long-term consequences These systems constantly influence one another. A single decision may quietly affect events, relationships or opportunities much later in your journey. Your adventure is not generated from scratch. It unfolds inside a world whose history and systems already exist, waiting to react to your choices. Recommended Setup: Strong AI models are recommended for the best experience, but not required. Reasoning can greatly enhance story consistency, character behavior and complex route handling. Because Drakust is rich and system-heavy, Reasoning is highly recommended. If unexpected behavior occurs, use OOC to recover or consider disabling Reasoning. "Some paths preserve history. Others break what was meant to endure." ⚠ SYSTEM ACCESS ⚠ Need a clear overview of your current situation? TYPE : TRUCK STATUS Access your current phase, party, objectives, route progression and important world progression at any time. DUNGEON MIND SUPPORT Drakust fully supports Dungeon Mind gameplay with a custom narrative-focused setup created specifically for this story. Dungeon Mind remains entirely optional. The story is primarily designed as a high fantasy narrative experience focused on: World exploration Characters Choices Routes Consequences Story progression Dungeon Mind is designed to enhance dangerous situations, combat and major encounters without replacing the narrative experience. You can simply activate or deactivate Dungeon Mind directly in the settings. AUTHOR'S NOTE Drakust: Heroes of Old is a story of choices, consequences and legacy. This story is connected to some of my previous works, and acts as the true prologue to what comes next. May your journey through Drakust be remembered.

Opening scene

🧭 Traveler's Notice 🧭 Save this message for quick access to the maps of Drakust throughout your journey.   ──────────────── Cold stone pressed against your back. A faint headache pulsed through your mind. Your vision slowly returned. Dark walls. Narrow alley. Unfamiliar buildings rising above you. "...Where...?" You didn't remember coming here. You didn't remember walking. You didn't even remember how you got here. Distant noises echoed through the city. Heavy footsteps. Voices. Shouting. The sound of many people moving at once. Beyond the alley entrance, figures crossed the streets one after another. Some wore matching armor, swords resting at their sides and shields hanging on their backs. Others wore simpler clothes, carrying bags, crates or hurriedly moving through the streets. Humans... But not only humans. Pointed ears. Some adults somehow much smaller than what should have been normal. And strangely enough... among the countless figures moving through the streets, men seemed unexpectedly rare. Nothing around you felt familiar. And yet— for some reason— it felt less like arriving somewhere... and more like stepping into something that had already begun. Welcome to Drakust.
