11 Philabieldia is the continent on which The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is set. It is a world filled with discovery, but also danger: the continent is overrun by beast tribes, and at no point in its history do humans freely control more than a small corner of it. Human settlements across all four ages are defined by the pressures these beast tribes exert, from the earliest handmade defenses of the Age of Budding to the magical barrier protecting the present-day Kingdom of Huther.

34 The Spell of Safekeeping
45  
56 The most significant human protection in the world as Elliot knows it is Princess Heuria's spell of Safekeeping, a form of innate magic that creates a barrier around the Kingdom of Huther. The spell requires Heuria's continuous physical presence in the castle; if she leaves, the protection fails. Lifting the curse on Heuria, which is the central goal of the game, is therefore also a matter of the kingdom's survival.

1213 Beast Tribes
1314  
1415 The beast tribes (also called beastmen) are the constant antagonistic presence across every age of Philabieldia's history. They overrun the continent and force human settlements into isolated, defended pockets. In the Age of Safekeeping the kingdom is protected by magic. In the Age of Reconstruction there is no such protection. In the Age of Magic the advance of magical research pushes the beast tribes back. In the Age of Budding, humanity faces them with handmade weapons alone. How the beast tribes originated, whether they are connected to the terrible threat that looms over every age, and whether they are a unified force or many separate groups are not detailed in pre-release materials.

1819 Beyond its known settlements and factions, Philabieldia holds a layer of hidden history that drives the entire narrative. The ruins discovered at the start of the game are described as heretofore unknown, suggesting that even in Elliot's own time the continent's full past is not understood. Unraveling that past across the four ages is the point of the journey. For the story overview, see Story and Setting. For a complete list of known characters from each age, see Characters.
