Background Story
The island of Ovis, located to the west of the continent
of Galicia, has been under the rule of the Holy Lodis
Empire for the last 15 years, and its inhabitants have
been forced to convert to Lodisism. Although the southern
region, Anser, initially resisted subjugation, today it
flourishes because of trade with the mainland, and the lives
of its people have been enriched. Rananculus, the northern
region of Ovis which is surrounded by mountains and forests,
accepted the conversion without putting up a fight. At present,
inhabitable land is scarce and now only a few aristocrats and
civilians live there. Alphonse, the main character of the story
and a member of the Order of the Sacred Flame, visits this
region to investigate an unusual occurrence. His life will
forever be changed from his encounters with the people there.
The Governing Elements of Tactics Ogre
There are six invisible powers that govern the natural world.
These forces, which are controlled by the gods, are known as
elements. Each character is associated with one of these elements
and inherits the characteristics of that particular element. Elements
such as earth and wind, or fire and water, repel each other.
Elements affect the damage a character deals to an enemy as
well as the damage he/she receives. Characters will also be
more or less effective in battle depending on the element of the
landscape on which they are fighting.
The natural tendency of a character, known as his/her alignment,
can be one of three types: lawful, chaotic, or neutral. Alignment is
displayed next to a character's element.

goddess of the wind and also the goddess of the sea.

the weather. Wind repels the power of earth.
