Astria Ascending takes us to the fantasy world of Orcanon. The guardians of balance are the so called demigods - heroes recruited from ordinary people and representatives of fantastic races, who during their three-year service must face all the dangers threatening the land. During the game we play as one of these brave warriors, and our task is to organize a team and save Orcanon from chaos. Along the way, we learn about the fates of each of our wards and observe the emerging relationships between them.
