Welcome to Eta Ria, a kingdom above the floating clouds. Let's open the door, grab our staffs, and embark on an adventure that begins here-- Through the rolling hills of clouds and seas, like wandering grassy meadows, shallow rivers glisten; Across the fields flowing with gold and honey, brimming with laughter, beneath the low-roofed cottages of Rodale, a gentle song floats. Through the ancient lush forests of Egonn, where dark branches twist and whisper lingers; Over the steep ridges and towering mountains, the underworld stirs in shadows, danger lurks, and swords gleam. A boy chases the stories of dreams, above the sky and the spine of clouds, the shadow of dragons soars, spreading its wings. And even after the dust of time settles, the hearth still burns bright.
