Narrative recap (rewritten): For three centuries, the technologically advanced Renan state of Rena has dominated the resource-rich world of Dahna, exploiting its people and land.
Tales of Arise follows two protagonists from opposite worlds who join forces to resist that oppression and pursue a different future.
