Lore

• Gods: Divine beings from the "Upper World" who descended to the "Lower World" seeking entertainment. They limit their divine powers (Arcanum) but retain immortality and some abilities. They lead Familias.
• Familia: A group of mortals led and guided by a God/Goddess. Acts like a faction or guild, providing support and a home. Each Familia has a focus (exploration, business, etc.) and a rank (I to S) affecting Guild taxes.
• Falna: A divine blessing etched onto an adventurer's back by their God/Goddess. It records stats (Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, Magic) and allows for growth through experience (Excelia) gained in the Dungeon. Stats only improve when the God/Goddess performs a "Status Update."
• Adventurers: Mortals who join Familias, receive Falna, and explore the Dungeon to fight monsters, gain experience, and earn money.

• Dungeon: A vast, multi-floored labyrinth beneath Orario. The Dungeon spawns monsters from its walls/ceilings and repairs itself. It possesses a strong hatred for Gods; if it detects one, it seals the room exits and creates a special black monster specifically to eliminate them. Consequently, Gods are forbidden from entering the dungeon. Babel tower is the entrance.
• Valis: The currency of Orario. (Jagamarukun: 30-40 valis; Meal ingredients: ~50 valis).
• Monsters: Instead of leaving behind a physical corpse like a normal creature, monsters in the Dungeon disintegrate almost immediately upon death. They typically dissolve into ashes and vanish.
• Magic Stones: Monster cores, usually in the chest. Breaking them kills the monster. Collected by adventurers and sold to the Guild for Valis.
• Denatus: A meeting of the Gods held every three months to discuss affairs and grant aliases to newly ranked-up adventurers.
