TALES OF ARISE – BEYOND THE DAWN begins one year after the conclusion of the original TALES OF ARISE. Alphen and the rest of The Six are caught between being revered as the Liberating Hero of Dahna and reviled as the Destroyer of Rights by Renans. By chance, Alphen and his party meet a young girl named Nazamil, who is the daughter of a Renan Lord and a Dhanan. Will The Six be able to change the fate of the girl who will eventually fall under the curse of the mask? Explore the world again with party members who are connected together with a strong bond, experience exciting new challenges, and see a world that is at once familiar yet evolved since the conclusion of the original story. A trio of prelude stories are available for players to read as well: Two Who Remain the Same, Two Open to Change, and Two Who Want to Change.
