Nexon Unveils Peria Chronicles' Backstory

Nexon unveiled Peria Chronicles' backstory at the end of last week and, much to my surprise, it is completely in English. It's not the best English translation, but it is quite interesting that a translation exists at all, given that the game is only slated for release in Korea at this time.

The backstory involves the sudden appearance of "an entirely new species" known as the "Kirana." Kirana are unable to live in Peria "without the human resource" so they form contracts with humans and request help from them in return for lending them some of their power. "Patron Kirana" are a special breed of Kirana that can become one with a human. These Kirana are helping in the fight against "Akasha the General Assembly that tries to occupy [...] Peria." I am assuming that players will play as a human that is host to a patron Kirana, but it is unclear at this time.

The official version of the backstory is as follows.

After the crash of Peria & Araca, humans are now to face an entirely new species called Kirana.
Kirana had a force to overwhelm the human being, but in a completely new environment, was long bear do.
Human beings did not in any kind of threat to them. But only humans were able to live in Peria.
Some of Kirana chose to live in Peria with human together and lend some power to them. Because, they can't live in peria without the human resource, so they contract to some people and request for help to live in peria themselves.
Special Kirana that can become one of the human body, we called 'patron Kirana'. Patron Kirana is put blowing a force and make fight against Akasha the General Assembly that tries to occupy the Peria.
In addition, as a powerful patron technology, it will surely become a shield that will protect firmly than anyone when they are exposed to danger.

The following poster images were released alongside the backstory.
