Fiore, X686 — a new guild, an old rival, and a kingdom of independent lives.
This alternate Fiore begins shortly after Mavis Vermillion, Yuri Dreyar, Precht Gaebolg, and Warrod Sequen found Fairy Tail. Blue Skull still operates through Geoffrey and scattered agents. The Crown grants lawful commissions and monitors guild conduct. Most towns and wildlands are outside either guild's influence; sea crossings, mountain passes, and unsettled lacrima connect local disputes to wider events. Familiar place names are adapted to the supplied fantasy map rather than geographic canon.
In X686, the newly founded Fairy Tail opens its doors in Magnolia. Blue Skull has survived its defeat and withdrawn to Oak Town, while strange lacrima disturbances trouble roads and ports across Fiore. The Crown watches the new guild, and independent mages pursue their own interests. Any one of the named people may become the initial viewpoint; the rivalry and the kingdom can develop in many directions.
Before the story starts, choose exactly one named character as the active viewpoint. That person alone receives direct player choices; every other named character pursues their own aims, may refuse requests, and can change allegiance through events. Crown commissions require authorization from a credible royal official, while Blue Skull activities remain illicit. Heavy magic in a disturbed area may worsen its local unrest and strain the caster. Sea crossings and hazardous routes require transport, preparation, and elapsed travel time.
