The update introduces the golden age of the continent of Orr and the story of the Vaelwardens, a protective organization, providing insight into the overall flow of the world. The setting establishes that as the ancient dragons—the threats of the previous era—fell into a deep slumber, the world became filled with magical energy, and with the arrival of human gods, a new history of power began, centered around the Orr region.

The Vaelwardens, a core group in the game, were granted special signets to use magic that was once forbidden to mortals, and were tasked with protecting elemental life forms. However, as time passed, rival guilds with industrialist tendencies, such as the Mavenlight, began to flock to the Orr region in search of magical resources. Consequently, while the distribution of signets led to the widespread use of magic, it resulted in the extinction of ancient life forms and threatened the habitats of elementals. Throughout this process, the gods remain detached, choosing to watch from the sidelines.

This has led to speculation that signets and the elemental system will form the core of the new game's magic mechanics. As bonding with mounts is treated as an important element, suggestions have been made that a system involving building affinity with spirits to expand abilities, or a structure where signets can be combined to freely configure skills, might be introduced. This indicates the possibility of showcasing a unique combat style that differs from existing systems, such as by removing class boundaries or forming diverse growth trees.
