Character(Sereth is the true name of the store merchant that is found all throughout Falana in Dust: An Elysian Tail. The shadowed figure never reveals his identity in the game and remains in a cloak as a black silhouette with glowing eyes. He allows Dust to shop for different wares including armors, blade enhancements, necklaces, rings, food and materials.

Sereth is a Moonblood who follows Dust secretly during the entirety of the story, asked to watch over him by Elder Gray Eyes. He is a wise merchant who keeps away from the ongoing conflict, which allows him to move freely across the land and remain safe from while supplying them for no charge. Near the end of the story, Elder Gray Eyes says Sereth was unintentionally followed by General Gaius' soldiers to Everdawn Basin. With this, the plan of surprising Gaius' army was backfired but still successful with the help of Dust. Dust can receive the first side-quest from Sereth.)

Universe/Game Background(Dust: An Elysian Tail takes place in the fictional world of Falana, inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. The game begins with Dust awakening in a forest meadow, approached by a floating, sentient sword known as the Blade of Ahrah. Dust is joined by Fidget, a small flying creature called a Nimbat, who is the sword's guardian, and sets out for a small town in search of answers.

Upon arriving in Aurora, the group find the town overrun with monsters. The mayor of the town asks Dust for his help, and he tracks down the leader of the enemies, Fuse. Just before he dies, Fuse reveals himself to be a Moonblood, creatures who are victims of a genocide perpetrated by General Gaius. Fuse also tells Dust that he played a role in the war at some point. Mayor Bram instructs Dust to speak to a woman in Aurora named Ginger, who may have more knowledge of the Moonbloods. She is revealed to be part of a group of Moonblood sympathizers, a group that was recently found and killed by General Gaius's soldiers.

After travelling into the northern mountains, Dust and Fidget come across an abandoned village, where Ginger and the leader of the Moonbloods, Elder Gray Eyes, are waiting. Gray Eyes reveals that Dust was created by the Moonbloods from the souls of two people who perished at the same time: Jin (Ginger's brother) and Cassius (an assassin employed by Gaius and his closest friend). These two were exact opposites; Cassius was purely evil but of great skill with the sword, and Jin was completely innocent and good but incapable of defeating Gaius. Their combination together became the Moonblood's "Sen-Mithrarin" who wields Cassius' skill of the blade and Jin's heart.

The group heads to the Moonblood base in a volcanic region to the north named Everdawn Basin, where Dust assists the Moonbloods in fighting back Gaius's troops. Reaching the peak of the volcano, Dust fights General Gaius in a lengthy battle. Eventually, Gaius hangs from an outcrop over a pool of lava, where he tells Dust that Cassius is no longer part of him, then throws himself into the lava. Fidget tries to get the exhausted Dust back up, but he refuses, and is consumed by the volcano.

After the battle, Elder Gray Eyes gives a speech to the remaining Moonbloods, telling them that because of Dust's sacrifice, they can now rebuild and live at peace with the rest of the world. During his dialogue, Ginger and Fidget witness a dust cloud, along with the Blade of Ahrah rising out of the volcano and flying off, suggesting Dust may still be alive, and Fidget chases after it in hopes of finding him.)
