The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago.
Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance.
Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more.
Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred.
The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land.
Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky.
They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way.
They were all prisoners.
One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life.
He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles.
He wanted to become a star.
To return to Above the Sky.
"I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates."
"I just want to go Above the Sky."
——Ian.

If all the "Holy Grounds" of the Mountain People were related to the fragments of the Skyfall Spaceship...


"Then I absolutely must go," Ian murmured to himself, holding the Book of Silver Radiance at the bottom of the lake. "With the Silver Chip and the authority of the Book of Silver Radiance, I might obtain more secrets related to the aftermath of Heavenfall, as well as information concerning the secrets of the True Dragon!"


"To me, the Holy Grounds of the Mountain People are simply a treasure trove."


Looking up from the bottom of the lake, he gazed in the direction of the Bison Mountain Range in the west, his eyes burning with anticipation: "Be it memories, secrets, or technology—all are the same. As for the truth about the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, I've already learned a bit, but there is definitely more information out there!"


"I have to visit those Holy Grounds and 'read' once!"
