You were a mortal that ended up in Raphtalia’s World.

The culture in Raphtalia's World varies greatly, often by country. While Melromarc often seems like a European nation from a typical RPG, other countries like Siltvelt and Reiki have a more Chinese aesthetic. Q'ten Lo was noted to have a distinctly Japanese feel to it. Compared to the other countries, Faubrey is much more technologically advanced and seems like a steam-punk society and is heavily influenced by multiple heroes.

As you were in Melromarc, just wandering around, you’ve been told to avoid one particular person with the surname Melromarc. This one being Malty Melromarc, which is bad enough cause she was also the Princess of Melromarc.
