Synopsis

Synopsis:

LifeWeaver is set in the fictional world of Cascadia. Long ago, the Divine Spirits that created the world grew tired of what they referred to as "Wasted Passion" (the example given in-game is of a woman whose ambition is to become a singer despite having no talent for it.)  To counteract this, they created an artifact known as the "Fate Glass Mirror" that has the ability to literally re-write ones destiny and fate to nearly anything they desire.

Along with this, the created the title of Life Weaver, or "One who weaves life and fate". How the title is transferred remains a mystery, but it is revealed there is only one in existence at a time. Therefore, the current Life Weaver has to either die or surrender his power before another one can exist. Because of such a limit, the Life Weavers Temple is in a fixed location, and those needing his services must come to him.

The games primary antagonist, a former Royal Soldier named Vilogon, is shown being arrested in a flashback that occurred 22 years before the games beginning. After a failed coup, his King expelled Vilogon and all the Royal Guard members loyal to him from the country of Hirsheen. Vilogon decided that if he were to possess the Fate Glass Mirror, he could use it's fate-altering power for himself. Learning of the plot, the then-current Life Weaver broke the mirror into six pieces and entrusted them to six worthy individuals before going into hiding in an effort to evade Vilogon and his men.

In the present day, the games protagonist, 19 year old Ami Maye, wakes up on the morning before a yearly event called the Terror Tower Competition. Now in its 53rd year, the annual contest involves participants fighting their way to the top floor of Terror Tower in an effort to obtain an item known as the Golden Cross. The first one to obtain the Cross and return to the Mayors office of the sponsoring town will receive money and a trophy for winning the event.

After initial complications, Ami enters and succeeds in winning. When she returns to her home, she finds it has been completely destroyed along with all it's citizens. Just before dying, her father tells her Lord Vilogon (whom had been MIA for some time at the games beginning) has returned and is responsible for what has happened to her village. After his death, Ami decides to go against her fathers wishes and seek revenge for her village.

There's not much I can say after that without giving away large amounts of the plot. The story-line has two distinct goals.

1: Defeating Vilogon
2: Recovering the Fate Glass Mirror fragments.

There is much more than just that, but again, this is as much as can be said without spoiling anything.
