Legend of Legaia (レガイア伝説 Legaia Densetsu), commonly abbreviated as LOL, is a Sony PlayStation role-playing game created by Contrail. The game features RPG gameplay, including Japanese character voices and a unique storyline. The game was followed by a 2001 sequel on the PlayStation 2, titled Legaia 2: Duel Saga.
The story begins with Vahn, a youth living in the quiet town of Rim Elm, which is protected from the Mist by an enormous wall. The Mist turns peaceful beings called Seru into monsters. One day, a mysterious man named Zeto enters Rim Elm and destroys the wall, leaving the town susceptible to monsters. Vahn runs to the town's special Genesis Tree. The Ra-Seru (a sentient and Mist-resistant Seru) that resides in the tree, Meta, attaches to Vahn and utilizes the prayers of the town to revive the Genesis Tree, which pushes back the mist. The next morning, Vahn embarks on a journey to destroy the Mist. On a journey to free the nearby Drake Castle, he passes through to Mt.Rikuroa, where he meets a girl named Noa. Vahn and Noa revive the Genesis Tree and purge Drake Castle of its Mist. Vahn and Noa decide they should travel together.
They travel to Biron Monastery seeking a nearby Genesis Tree. The head monk accepts that they must go to the forest to revive the tree and orders a high monk, Gala, to show them the way. He sends another monk, Songi, to the other forest. Drawn back to the monastery by smoke, Gala discovers that Songi attacked the monastery and let Seru monsters inside. Gala decides that he must go with Noa and Vahn to revive the Genesis Tree. In West Voz Forest, the group discovers that Songi has been infected with a Seru. Gala fights, but Songi is too powerful and departs. The group revives the Genesis Tree, and the Ra-Seru egg, Ozma, hatches, revealing that he is Gala's Ra-Seru. Gala accepts Ozma in order to better fight Songi.
The Genesis Trees reveal a factory in the middle of heavy Mist. They confront Songi, now an ally of the creators of mist. They also confront Zeto, who controls the factory, which produces Mist on the continent. After defeating Zeto, the party detroys the Mist machine, effectively ridding that continent of Mist forever.
The group travels to the Sebucus Islands. Vahn and his friends learn of Octam, a town where ancient sages sleep. Once the group arrives at Octam, they discover that the whole town is engulfed in Mist and that the townsfolk took refuge underground. Underground, the group meets with the ancient sages. An earthquake swallows up the sages, but their spirits tell Vahn and his friends of the destinies of the Ra-Seru: to destroy the Mist and bring peace back to the world. Vahn and his friends travel to Dohati's castle, another Mist generator. Dohati, the lord of the castle, is defeated. The group destroys the Mist machine but notices that a Ra-Seru egg was apparently powering the device.
The team travels to Karisto Kingdom, the last area infested with Mist. At Sol Tower, Vahn’s group defeats Gaza, an old warrior who is reluctant to let the mist be cleansed, and his soul revives the Genesis Tree. Afterwards, Vahn uses a special flute to reach the Soren Camp, occupied by people who still use their Seru to fly. The group informs the Soren elder of their goals. The Elder takes them to another Mist generator, the Floating Castle. Inside, the group finds Songi destroying it already: this generator was only a decoy. Narrowly escaping, the party heads to the only location left, Conkram.
Conkram has been engulfed by a giant Sim-Seru. It was Noa's home, but she was taken away when the Mist entered the world. Noa's parents tell the group that the only way to enter the final Mist Generator is to obtain a Nemesis Gem, an item now extinct. The group manages to travel to Conkram's past. The team learns of the Mist's true origin: Sol and Conkram were engaged in a bloody war. Prince Cort, Noa's brother, utilized the Mist as a tool for power. The Mist then spread across the world. The group controls an evil Mist entity, Cort is arrested, and the King gives the group the Nemesis Gem. The group returns to the present for their final battle.
They head to the final Mist Generator, Jette’s Absolute Fortress. Inside, the group defeats Jette. The group descends deeper into the fortress and battles Cort, Noa’s brother, who is totally controlled by his obsession with Mist. Defeated, he falls into a pit with the Juggernaut, and the whole fortress explodes.
At Rim Elm, the heroes celebrate the end of the Mist. However, the celebration is cut short when Songi enters and claims that he is destined to bring the Mist back. The Juggernaut arrives, engulfing the entire town. Songi travels to Seru-Kai, home of the Ancient Genesis Tree. Songi severely drains the tree, but he falls, and the sages from Octam return to revive the tree.
Vahn and his friends return to Rim Elm. Descending into Juggernaut, the group finds Cort, fused with the Juggernaut into one being. Cort falls, but Juggernaut still lives. Meta, Ozma, and Terra use their power to destroy the Mist once and for all, but the Ra-Seru are destroyed in the process, along with all other Seru.
The world has been rid of the Seru and the Mist. At this point, the player chooses between several endings: Vahn either decides to travel the world with his childhood love, decides to tell Noa how he feels, or decides to train at the Biron Monastery.
Vahn
Vahn is the main protagonist. He lives in the town of Rim Elm, in the far south of Drake Kingdom. His weapon of choice is a sword or knife, and his Ra-Seru is Meta, which is affiliated with fire. Having grown up sparring with the resident Biron monk Tetsu, Vahn is an adept martial artist. He has a father, Val, and a sister, Nene, unlike his comrades who are both orphans. Not much is said as to Vahn's personality, as he has no lines in the game, except in response to other characters, and his personality is open to interpretation by the player.
Noa
Noa is the main female protagonist. She is an orphan and has been raised by the Ra-Seru Terra, who, while raising Noa, attached itself to a wolf. Due to living most of her life alone in Snowdrift Cave with Terra the wolf, she is childish and ignorant; the outside world is new to her. She joins Vahn in his quest to destroy the Mist. She wants to see the world and meet her parents, who call to her in her dreams. She uses claws or tonfa batons to fight, and her Ra-Seru, Terra, is wind elemental. Later in the game, she discovers that she is the daughter of the King and Queen of Conkram.
Gala
Gala is one of the three main protagonists. He is a Biron Warrior Monk from the main Biron Monastery, where he is the second-in-command. He is sent with Vahn and Noa to revive the Genesis Tree in West Voz Forest, but fails because the tree has already been killed by the Mist. However, Gala does find a Ra-Seru egg inside the dead tree. Following an attack on the Monastery, he tries again at East Voz Forest, where he briefly spars with the traitor Songi. Afterwards, the heroes are able to revive the Genesis Tree in East Voz Forest, and the egg hatches into Ozma. Against the tradition of Biron, Gala wears the lightning affiliated Ra-Seru, and is subsequently excommunicated. He then joins Vahn and Noa on their quest. In battle, he wields axes and maces.
