The Song of Elegin starts on the aftermath of the defeat of evil: the demons were banished from the realm, and now after the Xiannodel Wars, those who were trained in the arcane arts find themselves purposeless, and the masses they protected from the dark demonic forces now look at them with distrust and fear.
Oroth Naraskodel is an apprentice mage who's 10 year training at the arcane academy known as The Order. A deeply caring and empathetic individual, Oroth now heads back to his childhood home of Innarlith, back to a father whom he believes abandoned his responsibilities as a parent. Embarking on the long odyssey with his childhood friend, the young warrior Berundd, he will attempt to find purpose in this world. What will start out simply as a journey home will evolve into a great adventure that will make our heroes reveal and face the greatest conspiracy the world has ever known.

The Song of Elegin is apparently a classic Rpgmaker2003 fantasy game: there is a certain freedom to explore and talk to people to obtain a series of optional quests, the game uses classical random battle encounters, but there are also some really interesting features, like the day/night cycle that also changes the dialogues of the npcs encountered, there are many custom menus to keep track of the various quests and to manage spells and characters. Overall these additions are good, but add an extra layer of complexity that not every player may like. Mapping is for the most part pretty good, with varied areas ike colorful villages and dark forests, sunny beaches and snowy areas.
Random Fact: Madriel isn't just the name of the developer of the game, but also of an important character that appears in this adventure. This character (like all the important ones) has a unique faceset, and coincidentally is the same used for Nickel Arand, the protagonist of another game created by Madriel222, Final Fantasy The Phoenix Prophecies. But that's another game for another day.
