■ History
Ennakamuy, a vassal state of Yamato located abroad, is home to a young man who lives with his mother and little sister.
One day, while this man is investigating a minor case at the instigation of Owlo (the Emperor), he encounters a mysterious girl.
She tells him something incredible – that his father, who is believed to be dead, is actually still very much alive.
In search of the truth, he decides to leave his village and head towards Arva Shulan, a mysterious land that is not found on any map.
He overcomes one obstacle after another to follow in his father’s footsteps.
Along the way, he meets like-minded comrades and goes through hardships, happiness, setbacks, and painful separations together.
As fate would have it, the man slowly finds himself being swept into the middle of a critical turning point in the story.
This is the story of a man who later becomes “Utawarerumono” – those who are praised.
