The people of Terca Lumireis rely on blastia, an ancient civilization's technology with a wide array of capabilites, to carry out their daily lives in peace. Cities use blastia to perform day-to-day processes such as drawing water and moving materials, while the Imperial Knights and powerful guilds, separate from the Empire, use a slightly different kind of blastia, called bodhi blastia, to enhance their abilities in combat. Most importantly, powerful, but extremely rare, blastia are used to create barriers around the cities of Terca Lumireis. Because the world is full of vicious monsters, barrier blastia are needed to prevent them from entering the cities and attacking civilians. However, because blastia protect and shelter people from the dangers of the world, they have prevented most citizens from exploring what lies beyond barrier's edges.
Because he is confined by the protection of barriers, Yuri Lowell longs to journey the outside world like his childhood friend Flynn Scifo. Flynn is a knight working for the Empire, and thus is allowed to leave the city to protect citizens from harm. Yuri was once a knight with those same ideals, but because he hated the way the Empire enforced its laws, he quit and instead served the lower quarter of the Imperial capital, Zaphias, using his own sense of "justice." When a blastia regulating the water fountain is stolen from the lower quarters of the capital, Yuri takes matters into his own hands, only to be thrown in jail. There, he encounters the sheltered Estelle, who decides to help him capture the blastia thief so that she can leave the castle that has confined her for many years and explore the world herself.
