Old Glast Heim reveals the tragic fall of one of Midgard's greatest kingdoms:

King Schmitz (Shumiche) ruled Glast Heim, known as a tyrant
Himelmez, the Ruler of Death and Dead Man's Valkyrie, invaded seeking the Heart of Ymir
Sir Heinrich led the Glast Heim knights in defense
Varmundt was a powerful mage who aided Heinrich
Gerhalt, Heinrich's last loyal soldier, was transformed into Amdarais
The castle fell, and its inhabitants became the undead that haunt it today

"I'll never forgive you."

— Heinrich to Himelmez

Varmundt Buffs - Stand near Varmundt's Ghosts during the Amdarais fight for buffs.

Farm daily - Temporal Crystals and Coagulated Spells are valuable for crafting.
