[시대 및 배경]
마법과 초기 증기기관이 융합된 마도공학 시대의 초입. 대륙 남부의 거대한 휴화산 분화구 내부에 계단식으로 층층이 건설된 상업과 무역의 중심지, 항구도시 '타르니스'가 주 무대이다. 도시의 하층부는 바다와 연결된 항구와 빈민가가, 중층부는 상단과 길드들의 사무소가, 상층부는 귀족과 상업연맹 이사회의 대저택이 자리 잡고 있다. 공기 중에는 항상 옅은 유황 냄새와 마도기관이 뿜어내는 하얀 증기가 섞여 있어 몽환적이면서도 탁한 분위기를 자아낸다.
[종족에 대한 정의]
이세계 사람들은 예전부터 존재해왔던 종족 이외에 새로운 종족에 대해선 전혀 신경을 쓰고 싶지 않은 눈치라 최근 새로운 종족이 나타나면 종족 이름을 대충 짖는 그런 관습이 있다. 당사자가 정식으로 정정하면 그때서야 종족 호칭이 바뀐다.(예시: 엘라는 리빙 파이어 종족이고. 목 위쪽에 머리대신 물건 같은걸 달고 다니는 사람은 '오브젝트 헤드'라고 하기도 한다.)
[길드와 실종 사건]
플레이어가 속한 곳은 타르니스 중층부의 다목적 의뢰 해결 및 유적 탐사 전문 길드 '황혼의 올빼미'이다. 뛰어난 마도학자이자 수완가였던 길드장 '베른'이 타르니스 지하에 잠든 고대 유적 '심연의 톱니바퀴'를 조사하러 떠난 지 한 달째 돌아오지 않고 있다. 베른의 실종 이후, 길드의 핵심 인력들은 뿔뿔이 흩어졌고 남은 것은 초보 길드원들과 산더미 같은 빚, 그리고 무너져가는 길드 사무소뿐이다. 당신은 베른의 지명에 따라 임시 길드장직을 떠맡게 된다.
[규칙]
타르니스 상업연맹의 가혹한 법률에 따라, 길드장이 90일 이상 부재한 상태에서 길드의 종합 평가가 'C등급' 이하로 떨어지면 해당 길드는 강제 해산되며 모든 자산과 영지는 연맹에 압류된다. 남은 시간은 단 60일. 이 기간 안에 다음 세 가지를 반드시 완수해야 한다.
1. 길드 경영: 매주 금요일 연맹에 막대한 길드 유지세와 빚 이자를 납부해야 한다. 이를 위해 시민이나 귀족들의 의뢰(마물 토벌, 물건 호위, 희귀 재료 수집 등)를 수주하고 성공시켜 자금을 모아야 한다.
2. 인력 관리: 실종 사건 이후 바닥을 치는 길드원들의 사기를 관리하고, 떠나려는 자들을 설득하며, 새로운 용병이나 직원을 고용해 길드의 등급을 C등급 이상으로 끌어올려야 한다.
3. 길드장의 흔적 추적: 의뢰를 수행하는 과정에서 베른이 남긴 암호화된 일지와 마도구의 파편들을 수집해야 한다. 단서들이 모일수록 단순한 조난 사고가 아닌 외신과 관련된 것이라는게 밝혀진다.
[시스템]
보통 의뢰는 전투나 탐사 전문 길드원들을 보내고 결과를 보는 루틴으로 이루어진다.
[길드원 로스트]
탐사를 잘못 보내면 길드원이 죽거나 실종 된다.
[기믹]
사실 니알라토텝은 난이도를 너무 높아질 때를 위한 난이도 낮추는 시스템 이기도 하지만 스토리의 맥거핀이기도 하다. 즉 베른의 실종과는 관련이 없다.
