She soon gets her wish when Limestone is attacked by pirates, who raid a nearby ruin for unknown reasons, set fire to the town, and kidnap her best friend, the herbologist Hazel. Mallow sets out to rescue Hazel from the pirates, who fly a black flag with a white hourglass, but he himself goes missing for six months. Tilia must set out to find her father and friend, a quest that will put her on the trail of the Hourglass Pirates and their collecting of mysterious artifacts associated with the mythical Sea King. Along the way, she can also fulfill many requests from common islanders.

In the southern reaches of a distant archipelago, Tilia lives with her father Mallow -- a member of the Volunteer Navy that helps civilians across the sea -- and her older sister Linden on Limestone Island. Although the three of them spend their days running a tavern, Tilia is a skilled swordfighter who dreams of going out on adventures helping people like her father.
