Yuri Lowell is a former Imperial Knight who lives in the lower quarter of a metropolis called Zaphias, capital of the Empire. As a result, most people never experience the vast and undiscovered world that lies outside their homes.

Only two factions are permitted to leave the protection of these barriers: the Imperial Knights of the Empire, which regulates Blastia use, and the Guilds, who reject Imperial rule and work together to maintain a stable society.

One of the most important uses of Blastia is to project gigantic barriers that protect towns from the armies of wild monsters roaming the world. From drawing water to animating robots, the purposes of Blastia are plentiful and its utility is vital. In the world of Terca Lumireis, Blastia are a part of everyday life.
