Minds driven by curiosity and hearts filled with hope, the expedition group sets off across the sea that separates their homeland from the rest of the world. From the perspective offered by their airship, they get a taste of what is to come: Palaces and plazas! Mountains and rivers! Strange, draconic towers! A land of life and lore, filled with knowledge yet unknown to them! But first… there’s the matter of the smoke coming from the engine room.

 

This week: Perpetua Prelude 02

PERPETUA PRELUDE - BASICS GUIDE

EXPEDITION MEMBER INFO - [PPEMI]

ARLEY BATES [EAB]

Specialization: Collector

Value: Thrill

Disposition: Jovial

The Prince of Salix, one of the major elven city states on the eastern continent of Perpetua. Great all around pick! While you should definitely use his cooking skills, he’s more than just a chef! Because he starts with a walking staff and lantern, he excels when exploring. 

TOMOR PRESH [ETP]

Specialization: Explorer

Value: Curious

Disposition: Challenge

Forged in the heat of the Parisolian Mines, Tomor Presh is a hot-blooded champion of justice who likes to stick his nose into problems even when he isn’t invited. Good thing he’s tough enough to win when he does! He really has “developer assigned protagonist” energy, so if that’s your thing, give him a shot. 

GLESI SYDNEY & YUKAI [EMGY]

Specialization: Nomand

Value: Beauty

Disposition: Focused / Defensive

An exiled nomad and her cursed (?) pet. As the only “paired hero” in Perpetua Prelude, Glesi & Yukai offer a unique—and advanced—style of play. If you’re willing to put in the work to understand the game’s systems and their eccentric design, then you’ll be rewarded with one of the coolest character stories in the game. Plus, you get to look cooler than anyone else!

HARLOW PRESH [EMHP]

Specialization: Scientist

Value: Safety

Disposition: Awkward

A mage from the academy of the Hundred Burroughs. This guy stinks. It’s cool that he starts with four extra coin, but once you blow through that you’re stuck with all his annoying voice and animations. He doesn’t even do any real magic. SKIP HIM!
