In a world of uneasy peace, chaos rears its ugly head.

Alistair, a young mercenary, finds himself caught in the middle of a chaotic situation. The kingdom of Dramarith, where he calls home, has just lost its king and has been subjected to a coup attempt. Meanwhile, dark whispers emanate from Lysgentel about the influence of the Coven of Unholy Nocturnal Terror, a group of troublemakers set on resurrecting a dark god. 

With his allies and those who join his cause, he sets out to restore the king of Dramarith to his rightful throne and expunge the threat presented by the Coven of Unholy Nocturnal Terror. Little does he know, the light he fights for may yet turn dark...

Chronicles of Dramarith 1: The King of Light and His Dark Heir is a turn-based strategy RPG that derives inspiration from Fire Emblem, particularly the sixth, seventh, and eighth entries. With 30 playable characters across a wide range of classes, and over 20 chapters of turn-based combat, there may yet be a way to stop things from going completely awry in Dramarith...

This game was built in SapphireSoft's SRPG Studio, with a mix of native assets included with the engine and free use assets sourced (with attribution). This has been confirmed to work in Windows environments.

Pretty great game overall but I want to know for the different endings do you need to lose a certain fight, or save specific character or do something unexpected as I'm halfway and want to know if need to keep saves. I was gonna say about balancing but I've seen youre constantly updating it so I'm gonna keep coming here for the changes.

I appreciate the kind words! And thank you for playing.

For the alternate ending, you need to finish two optional chapters (after 11 and 13), as well as either finishing the optional chapter after 16 or collecting an item in chapter 20 that spawns if you didn't go to that particular bonus chapter. The optional chapters are named "The Amber Swan", "The Crystal Swan", and "The Crimson Swan".

Also, feel free to share thoughts on balance. If things are too hard, too easy, and all that jazz.
