Story The game is set in Diaros, a mysterious land of legends. One of the legends is of the Noah Stone, which is said to bring prosperity to any nation which possesses it, and has therefore been the source of much conflict. A vision calling herself Irmina appears to all inhabitants of the world, warning them that they will soon enter an age of darkness. A group of adventurers are led by Irmina to Diaros, where they become acquainted with its past and future. 13 Million Years Ago, on Diaros, the High Civilization of the Mora Clan flourished thanks to the Noah Stone. However, other groups seeking the stone began persecuting the Mora Clan, and they were forced to relinquish control of the Noah Stone. In the Present Age, there are three powers present in Diaros: Elgadin, country of the Dragon Knights who value law and order; Bisque, a country where according to the Lal Fac Faith, various clans are given the autonomy to regulate themselves; and Sasool, a country where therianthropy plays a leading role. These countries vie for control of the Noah Stone. Ten years into the future, due to the ensuing events, war has erupted, the Age of Darkness predicted by Irmina. The war is the result of secret manoeuvers by the Mora Clan's Igo, who has put various strategies in action to take possession of the Noah Stone. The game also takes place in the Future Age, 3,000 years after the rule of Igo, and the Chaos Age, at the beginning of everything, 45 Million Years Ago. Players pass from one age to another, addressing a variety of obstacles, attempting to prevent the coming Age of Darkness. Anime Master of Epic: The Animation Age is the official anime adaption of the
