This is what Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is about:
The story takes place in a land shaped by the use of swords and magical objects called "rune lenses", causing squabbles among local humans, beastmen, elves and desert dwellers. In the process, the Galdean Empire has left other nations behind and discovered a technology that enhances the magic of rune lenses. The Empire searches across the continent for an artifact that will increase its power even further.
The young Empire officer Seign Kesling and Nowa, who comes from a remote village, meet on one of these expeditions. A friendship develops between the two. However, fate soon embroils them in a cruel war in which the two friends have to put everything they believe in and what they think is right to the test.
