In Norse mythology, the world tree Yggdrasil touched the lands of Sweartaelfham, icy Niflheim, Jötunheimr, the heavens of Asgård and the depths of Helheim. The nine worlds were all interconnected by the mighty ash, set in the center of the universe and conduit for all things. 
   Eithea follows this philosophy, and all things in the world are anchored by the Tree of Ere. The story in the game begins with familiar conflict between a hunter-gatherer tribe and a capitalistic society which drains natural resources to enrich their coffers. An earthquake sets the drama on it's ear when an inter-dimensional portal is ripped open and foul creatures spill into the fair lands of Eithea. As the game's hero Shou, you and fellow party members venture forth to quell the potential for disaster and right the wrongs in motion.
