33 Overview

55 Coverage of Echoes of Aincrad so far has not formally detailed Medai Village as an in-game location. The named partner roster, the combat systems, the editions, and several other Floor 1 settlements have all been described in announcement material and previews, but Medai itself has not been highlighted in any first-party reveal at the time of writing. That makes the village's role in the game uncertain. It may be a fully visitable settlement, a passing reference in dialogue or signage, or simply absent from the game's playable territory. This article therefore treats Medai as a Floor 1 reference point rather than as a fully described in-game stop, and any backstory framing below is presented as such rather than as confirmed in-game canon.

77 Floor 1 Context

99 The first floor of Aincrad is the opening playable region in the game. The Town of Beginnings is the floor's hub, and other smaller named Floor 1 settlements that have appeared in coverage include Tolbana and Horunka Village. Medai's place in the established lore puts it in the same general category as those smaller settlements: a named non-hub location somewhere on the first floor, distinct from the central town that the player starts in.

1717 Source-Material Lore Backstory
1818  
1919 In the broader source material that Echoes of Aincrad draws on, Medai Village is described as a smaller settlement on the first floor of Aincrad, positioned east of the Town of Beginnings and reached through a stretch of mountainous terrain. That backstory framing is presented here only as context: this article does not assume the in-game Medai reproduces that exact layout, economy, or population. The game has the freedom to shape Medai differently, and any specific in-game detail will be added to this page only after a primary source confirms it.
