Jin Sang Kim
Creative Director
I’ve always dreamt of creating an enduring game that
would be remembered for years, and that my children
and grandchildren might enjoy someday. Lost Eidolons is
only the beginning of this story, and the first step toward
realizing that dream project someday. I hope there will be
many more to come.
My deepest gratitude to all of those who have built this
world of Artemesia with me.
Dae Hong Lee
Scenario Writer
Looking back, I’ve been wrestling with the feeling of “I
could be doing more” ever since we first started naming
and fleshing out characters. But now that I can see the
completed work in front of me, it’s impossible not to feel
moved. I still wish I could do more to make the game
perfect, but it’s time to let it out of my hands and into the
world. I hope wherever it lands, and whoever plays it, that
it brings them a little joy.

Eden begins his journey on the streets of
Lonetta, leading a smalltown mercenary
company that mostly exists as an excuse to
help people. When an unusual job puts them
in the path of a corrupt local lord, they soon
find themselves forced to lead an uprising just
to keep their heads. And things only get more
complicated from there.
As the war grows more complicated, the line
between friend and foe gets blurrier. But in any
case, the characters in this section comprise
Eden’s closest allies, with him in one form or
another for the bulk of the game’s story.

Before long, Eden and his friends are thrust into

the ranks of the Benerian rebellion, lead by the
once-great House Feniche, and are joined by a

 Eden
A smalltown orphan of war, Eden is a kind
and charming mercenary who’s built a
reputation for helping those in need, with
little thought for repayment, let alone
greater ambition.

But when his charitable nature puts those

he loves in danger, Eden is forced to assume
the mantle of leadership to deliver them
from danger — a pattern that repeats itself
over and over again throughout the story
of Lost Eidolons.
By the game’s climax, Eden has
become a battle-tested military leader,
who must fight to retain his soul amid
the fire and chaos of war.

25 The Heroes The Heroes 26
 Leon
Eden’s childhood friend and closest confidante,
often mistaken for a sibling. While they may
not be literally related, their brotherhood
runs deeper than blood, and helps form the
emotional backbone of the game.

Though he can often come across as grumpy or

aloof, Leon cares about his friends deeply, and
can always be counted on in times of danger…
even if he might complain a little first.

27 The Heroes The Heroes 28

 Francisco
Eden’s childhood friend and go-to muscle (as well
as a fan favorite). Brash, stubborn, and ever-ready
for a fight, Francisco would likely have landed in
jail years ago if not for Eden’s influence.

But the reverse is also true: without Francisco,

Eden would never survive a life of high-risk
mercenary do-gooding, let alone a civil war.

29 The Heroes The Heroes 30

 Robin
A young mercenary in Eden’s company, Robin
is the group’s naive rookie, as well as Robere’s
adoptive younger brother.

Despite his tender heart and winking personality,

Robin is one of Eden’s fiercest allies on the
battlefield, no matter who they’re fighting.

31 The Heroes The Heroes 32

 Robere
The oldest member of Eden’s mercenary crew,
Robere acts as the voice of reason, bringing
experience and a calm temperament to every
encounter.

As Eden finds himself drawn deeper and deeper

into the murky confusion of war, Robere can
always be counted on for a warm word and some
sage advice.

33 The Heroes The Heroes 34

 Marchelle
As an Imperial Inquisitor, Marchelle has devoted
her career to stamping out corruption — an uphill
battle, in a empire practically defined by it. When
circumstances throw she and Eden together,
Marchelle decides to lay aside her old life, and
become a proper rebel at last.

Highborn, educated, and deeply principled,

Marchelle is a skilled healer and cautious advisor,
who eventually becomes one of Eden’s closest
counselors.

 Gilbert
Gruff, cynical, and thoroughly pragmatic,
Gilbert is a once-great tactician, now a bitter
village drunk, after years of hard fighting in the
last war. When he’s recruited by Eden, Gilbert
finds himself tasked with whipping an army of
backwater roughnecks into a proper fighting
force.

Quick with a joke as he is with a cutting aside,

Gilbert brings the perspective of history to
the Benerian revolution, as well as jaw-
dropping magic to the battlefield.

39 The Heroes The Heroes 40

 Klara
One of Artemesia’s most infamous mercenaries,
Klara’s relationship with Eden is complicated at
the game’s start, and only gets more so as the war
goes on.

Stubborn, driven, and confident to a fault, Klara is

a natural-born leader who strives for excellence,
and has no patience for mediocrity in herself or
others.

(And that’s before she loses the eye.)

 Andrea
A hot-headed spitfire from Eden’s hometown, Andrea
and her sister Sera are the catalyst that sparks the
uprising responsible for dragging Eden and his
friends into the war.

Though Sera harbors complex feelings about that,

Andrea’s are a lot more simple: to protect her sister,
at all costs, no matter whose face she has to punch.

45 The Heroes The Heroes 46

 Albrecht
The Merlin to Eden’s King Arthur, Albrecht joins
the game fairly late into the story, but is crucial to
the core cast.

As the apprentice to one of the greatest mages

who ever lived, Albrecht is the world’s foremost
authority on the Eidolons: ancient lost gods which
have recently begun to stir.

When strange signs and abilities begin to manifest

in Eden, Albrecht becomes a close friend and
confidante, ready to help a smalltown hero
become one for the ages.

Marchelle’s bodyguard and spymaster, Linard is
unfailingly loyal, and his skills as a battlemage

Sera
A widow from Eden’s hometown who acts as the
story’s initial spark.
Though she never sets foot on the battlefield, Sera
fills a vital role in the player’s camp, bringing
warmth, heart, and the occasional home-cooked
meal to heroes in need.

Balastar and cavalry

House Feniche
Though the story of Lost Eidolons carries players
across Artemesia, the majority takes place in
a small seaside land to the south: the Imperial
Province of Benerio. And no history of Benerio
would be complete without a passage on House
Feniche.
Founded from the city watch of capital city
Castyllian, House Feniche served as the sword
of House Orsio, the former kingdom’s late royal
family. Following the Imperial conquest (and
House Orsio’s brutal massacre) House Feniche
fell into disgrace.
Twenty years later, house patriarch Isoro
Feniche is ready to take back his homeland and
restore his family’s honor, launching a rebellion
aimed at toppling the Emperor himself.
And Isoro’s secret weapon? His nephew,
Balastar: a fiery warrior and commander who
becomes one of Eden’s closest allies in the fight
against the Empire…and a fearsome foe, in the
chaos that follows.
But a noble house consists of more than just its
heads. While designing the various counselors
and warriors that fill House Feniche’s ranks,
the creative team strove to make them feel as
colorful and richly defined as Eden and his allies.
At all times, the creative mandate was simple,
but ambitious: that the villains of one story are
the heroes of another, and only history gets to
decide.

House Feniche 52
 Balastar
The last son of House Feniche, Balastar was
born to a life of privilege and wealth, cut
short by the Imperial conquest — and the
ignominious murder of his father.

In the years since, he’s fought to become one

of Artemesia’s mightiest warriors, leading his
troops from the front and smashing through
all opposition in an unbroken string of
victories.

Now Isoro’s foremost general, Balastar is

ready, willing, and able to raise his house
from the ashes, and burn the Empire to the
ground — no matter the cost.

 Isoro
Known throughout his native Benerio as “The
Broken Blade”, Isoro is a military tactician famed
for his deeds during the War of Unification, yet
nonetheless stained by his family’s defeat.

As the last true relic of Old Benerio, Isoro carries

the weight of history on his back, and his fight
against the Empire is as much about his own
legacy as the fate of Artemesia.

57 House Feniche House Feniche 58

 Elias
A hardened soldier who served Balastar’s father
twenty years ago, Elias retreated into a life of
solitude in the mountains after House Feniche’s
bloody defeat.

Now, as Isoro launches a second attempt at

rebellion, Elias has returned to the world to serve
as one of his most senior commanders…and keep
a close eye on his hot-tempered nephew.

59 House Feniche House Feniche 60

 Chelcia
One of Balastar’s childhood friends and most loyal
allies, Chelcia has the sharp wit of a highborn
lady, and the battlefield ferocity of a true
berserker.

Standoffish and even a little sadistic by nature,

Chelcia thrills at asserting her power, and expects
those she deems beneath her to fall in line or get
out of her way.

61 House Feniche House Feniche 62

63 House Feniche House Feniche 64
 Elena
A soft-hearted commoner who joined Balastar’s

reason among a sea of outsized egos and strong
tempers, often putting her at odds with others like
Chelcia.

65 House Feniche House Feniche 66

67 House Feniche House Feniche 68
 Godfrey
A proud warrior, Godfrey lives for the fight and
obeys a strict honor code. As one of Balastar’s
strongest and most senior lieutenants, he is
unswervingly loyal to House Feniche…and
brutally unforgiving toward those who aren’t.

69 House Feniche House Feniche 70

 Guillermo
Isoro’s shrewd and tactically-minded advisor,
Guillermo is the former master of a shipyards in
Benerio, and views the war through a lens of cold
logistics. The messy realities of human nature, on
the other hand, vex him endlessly.

71 House Feniche House Feniche 72

 Rosalina
A woman of few words, Rosalina is one of
Isoro’s finest archers, who eventually finds
herself placed under Balastar’s command.
Cool-minded and unsentimental, she prefers
to avoid the messy drama of others, focusing
only on where to aim her next shot.

73 House Feniche House Feniche 74

 Merten
A high-spirited and charismatic hunter beloved
around camp, Merten is devoted to improving
his skills first and foremost, harboring no
illusions about his role in the war or his ability to
influence its leaders.

A quiet spellcaster, Celina and her sister Lila
mostly keep to themselves, serving as two of the
more exotic weapons in Balastar’s arsenal.

who so much as gives her sister a dirty look.

Monsters
While the world of Lost Eidolons generally airs on the low-
fantasy end of the spectrum, there are still a few myths and
legends lurking in the margins of the map, in particular the
fearsome monsters that prowl the wilderness between cities
and towns.

Distinct from normal wildlife, monsters are creatures that

have been mutated by the magical effects of soulstone ore,
granting them anatomical deformities and unnatural abilities.
While most major cities have learned to keep them at bay,
monsters run rampant in the countryside, a persistent scourge
to travelers, merchants, and smalltown villagers everywhere.

Prior to the Imperial conquest, monsters were routinely

scoured and purged by the powers-that-be. Under the
neglectful rule of a corrupt bureaucracy, such efforts have
languished, and monsters have flourished like weeds —
plaguing the peoples of Artemesia, and bringing a bit of
exciting variety to the game’s battles.

Allies, Enemies, and

Everyone In-Between
One of the earliest goals in preproduction for
Lost Eidolons was to create a sprawling world
large enough to support additional stories down
the road.
To achieve that goal, the team decided to tell a
story of feudal warfare and shifting alliances,
loosely inspired by Three Kingdoms epics, and
built a character modeling pipeline that could
support a similarly massive cast.
and off the battlefield. Some are factional
representatives that weave in and out of the
story, changing sides multiple times. Many are
potential allies that visit the player’s camp, and
can be recruited to bolster Eden’s ranks in battle.
Others are enemy soldiers and commanders
Eden faces and defeats on the road to greatness.
And of course, some are all of the above.

Over the course of his adventures, Eden crosses

paths with a variety of characters both on

The long-lost heir of House Orsio (the late royal
family of Benerio) Abramo is discovered by

needs to formally declare independence.

Props and Assets

The world of commercial game development
exists on a sliding spectrum. At one end are
indie titles, built by solo developers or small
teams, working on budgets that range from
little to nothing. At the other end are larger-
scale commercial endeavors (often dubbed
“AAA”), where teams range in the hundreds,
