OKOKOK can u tell the WHOLE ENTIRE LORE??? sometimes I can be confused lolol

YESS!! gladly! it's. um. a lot. so i'm putting it underneath the cut! :) sorry if i'm bad at explaining things, if you have any other questions feel free to ask me! :)

(for the record, i am purposefully leaving some things out, because i'd spoil some pretty important turning points if i were to reveal them!)

There are two cities in a nation called Velleinmorre that are the focus of Sanguine, each with their own monarchy: Imajo and Coronét.

Imajo is home to the Edgeworth family, and Coronét belongs to the Blacks. Imajo is on the southern side of a forest called Nari; Coronét, the north. Nari acts as a makeshift border between the two places.

In the year 1702, Imajo has been plagued by a sudden rash of disappearing citizens. Men and women, all of varying social classes. There is no noticeable pattern between the victims as people themselves. Imajo has been quite well-known for sudden missing persons cases, however the ones that have happened now are concerningly large.

This is where Manato comes in! Manato Edgeworth, the heir to Imajo's throne, is a selfish little prick. I'm going to be completely honest here. He's taken it upon himself to find out the truth concerning Imajo's missing citizens, and the only reason why is because he desires to earn the common rabble's favor.

The local constable has no leads to the cases, aside from one thing, one single pattern: all signs point to Coronét, yet they don't know how or why. Nobody has heard a single thing of the Blacks in over three hundred years, and the family has been deemed obsolete for a long time.

So Manato of course, determined to put something behind his name, packs up some of his things and heads to Nari, for Coronét! ...And this is where things start to go downhill. At least, worse than they already were.

Manato is attacked by a vampire during his trudge through Nari, and wakes up in Castle Black. The identity of this vampire is left unknown for a while on purpose, and I'm not telling!

Anyway, Manato awakens in Castle Black to a pedantic, self-centred vampire lord named Akihiro Black, along with his four servants (also vampires— minus May, considering she's actually a dhampir!).

Akihiro explains to Manato that he's been turned, and Manato obviously does not take that well.

The rest of the game follows from there, with Manato having to jump through hoops to escape Castle Black using any means he can, trying his hardest to not go mad with power in the process! :)
