Celestian Tales: Old North is a complex tale of human interactions where deception, intrigue, and betrayal stand side-by-side with loyalty, friendship, and personal growth. This is no clichéd story about a chosen one destined to save the world. Instead, Celestian Tales tells the stories of a diverse group of young knights-in-training who must learn who they are and where they stand as they are faced with the age old question of what it is to be a moral and righteous human being. Will you choose to do anything in order to survive? Or will you be steadfast in defending your faith and beliefs?
Featuring a turn-based combat system with plenty of opportunity for character and party customization, Celestian Tales: Old North allows you to play the game at your own pace in your own style. Enter the first decade of this epic series and see for yourself what sets it apart.
