Synopsis

Visions of Mana takes place in a fantasy world sustained by the Mana Tree, a magical tree whose energies sustain the world. Every four years, a being dubbed the Faerie travels to villages tied to the elements and chooses one resident as an “alm” who will go on a pilgrimage to restore the flow of the Mana Tree under the guardianship of a Soul Guard soldier.

The main protagonists are Val, a warrior from the Fire Village of Tianeea who becomes Soul Guard to Hiina, a childhood friend chosen to undergo the pilgrimage to the Mana Tree. Their other companions are Morley, a cat-man who seeks to overcome a traumatic event from his past; Careena, a half-human, half-dragon dubbed “The One-Winged Oracle” who travels with Ramcoh, child of the Sacred Beast Flammie; Palamena, queen of Illystana, Capital of the Deep; and the sproutling Julei.
