The capital of the Novarens Empire

The Imperial Capital—Novaresia (Novaresia)

In a classroom of the Strategy and Tactics Department at 『Plato』, the Empire’s finest academy, an old man and a young man were playing ‘Go’.

This game, which had come from the East, was unlike chess in that it had no concept of a king, and therefore required far more complex calculations.

『Gaud Lockris』, one of the emperor’s advisers and a professor in Plato’s Strategy and Tactics Department, enjoyed this game.

He was dressed like a bard, and a lute lay beside him.

As they placed stones on the Go board, they talked.
