The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel

Story

Among the nations on the Zemurian continent, the mighty Erebonian Empire has been quick to stake its claim militarily on the outside, but politically, the ugly internal conflicts between the upper classes and the commoners trying to rise to power have grown more intense by the day. The nobles and the reformists have not exactly been friendly to each other over the years, and tensions between the two factions will only worsen if a compromise is not found soon. Rean Schwarzer, like every other citizen of the Imperial Nation, is no stranger to these emerging conflicts: the class system has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of all Erebonians since the days of old. However, as a seventeen-year-old student preparing for his new life at Thor's Military Academy, he notices that his crimson uniform is different from the standard uniforms issued to his fellow students - typically green for commoners and white for nobles. Enter: Class VII of Thor's Military Academy. For the first time in the history of the prestigious academy, rank means nothing and ability means everything. With nine hand-picked students of varying backgrounds and abilities, including Rean, Class VII prepares to delve deep into the political quagmire that threatens not only them, but the entire realm.
