Initial version (2026-05-31)
The story of The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales unfolds across four distinct historical periods in Philabieldia, collectively called the Four Ages. Elliot and Faie travel through them in reverse chronological order, crossing backward via the Doorway of Time. Each age carries its own subtitle, its own setting, and its own cast of people whose fates intertwine with the thousand-year mission. The exact workings of the Doorway of Time have not been revealed before launch.
Elliot begins in his own era and moves further into the past with each crossing. The order of travel is:
Age of Safekeeping (The Present): Elliot's home time
Age of Reconstruction (The Dark Ages): a period of ruin and survival
Age of Magic (A Golden Age): humanity's height of prosperity
Age of Budding (The Birth of Civilization): the earliest human settlements
Age | Subtitle | Era Description | Key Location | Notable Figures |
|---|---|---|---|---|
The Present | Elliot's home time; humanity survives under Princess Heuria's protective spell | Elliot, Faie, Princess Heuria, King Ichard, Kaifried, Euygene | ||
The Dark Ages | Humanity's remnants cling to survival in the ruins of a more prosperous time | Heurich, Diona, Calotesia | ||
A Golden Age | Humanity reaches its height of prosperity through magical advancement | Fausta, Marnie, Hildebrandt, Ikarus | ||
The Birth of Civilization | The earliest human settlements face beast tribes and encounter the Myū tribe | Kai, Hirk, Lyudmila |
The span of all four ages together covers at least one thousand years of Philabieldia's past. Each age holds pieces of a larger mystery: why the continent's history moved from the birth of civilization through a golden age to near-collapse, and ultimately to the precarious present Elliot knows. A terrible threat looms across every era, its nature not yet revealed before the game's launch.
Exploring each age is central to both the story and to exploration and puzzle-solving, as Elliot encounters ruins, characters, and discoveries in each period that shed light on the others.
