Story
After the cities of Amatsu, Kunlun and Louyang were discovered, the coffers of Rune-Midgard's Treasury gained tremendously as the trickle of profit from foreign commerce grew into a torrent of zeny. King Tristan III was pleased and decreed that whoever discovers more unknown lands would be richly rewarded.
One adventurer heeded the king's proclamation and discovered the village of Ayothaya. There, the explorers found a society adhering to a religion which glorifies nature and stressed harmony with the earth and its people.
The people of Midgard were first attracted to Ayothaya for its shrines of gold and emerald, but later found themselves charmed by the houses built just above the calm waters. They were further awed by the craftsmanship of "floating markets" selling fish, shrimps, and delicious culinary masterpieces.
Yet, despite the seemingly peaceful atmosphere, there lies a dark brooding secret among its residents. A dreadful legend haunts Ayothaya, one describing the existence of an ancient ruin where a terrible man-eating beast is rumored to dwell. Intrigued by the legend, adventurers decide to explore the ruins and learn the truth once and for all...
