* TakeYourTime: No matter how urgent a mission is, they can be kept on hold for in-game years without any penalty.

Valthiria is a country formed by the alliance of Five Queendoms: Red Valthiria in the Northeast, White in the Northwest, Green in the South, Blue in the East, and Black in the West of the land. Above all of these Queendoms, however, reigns Her Majesty Queen Hilda... who is soon to pass on, and with her sole daughter Isabelle nowhere to be found. With the lesser Queens at each other's throats, in addition to an unknown force invading the North, Queen Hilda is able to issue one last decree: for the player, a person of neutral political position, to build up a ruined academy and prepare for the inevitable war of succession. Will you side with one of the queens to rule the land? Will you unite them together to restore peace to Valthiria? The choice is in your hands, even the unthinkable one.

* ItsQuietTooQuiet: Said by one of the students at the beginning of the "Oil for the Guide II" mission. They're right.

* TheMedic: The Medica class, who specialize in healing.

* WizardingSchool: The main hub, which the player manages to train students and earn a steady income.
