Category:Ilias Village

Ilias Village (イリアスヴィル) is the hometown of Luka and the main shrine of Goddess Ilias. It is where the player is introduced to the narrative after Ilias informs Luka of his duties. Slime Girl attacks here, and after meeting Alice in the local woods, Luka has had no reason to return to Ilias Village for any reason on his journey.

According to Luka’s flashbacks, the villagers were originally hostile towards him and his mother, the populace being very xenophobic towards outsiders. Eventually, his mother died due to an epidemic which plagued the town, and to which everyone refused to help the young Luka in his efforts to save her. Having to fend for himself, Luka became an excellent cook, a skill which Alice quickly comes to appreciate.

The epidemic killed off most of the original villagers, and eventually foreigners moved in, taking up residence and filling in the services that a village needs to survive. As such, Luka went from being the outsider to one of the village's longest-lived residents. As Luka is known to be always willing to lend a hand, the relationship between him and the village as it is today is drastically different at the start of the game. He is well known and well liked, and has many people he comes across wishing him well on his journey.

On the outside the village looks like a typical sleepy settlement where not much happens. However, the most devout location to Ilias’s following, the Shrine of Ilias in the center of the village. It is here where Ilias appears to bless her heroes and as a focus of her religion. It is highly likely that Luka return here in Chapter 3.

As it is the location furthest south and due to the more focused worship of Ilias, it can be seen as a direct contrast to the Monster Lord’s Castle, the supposed final location of Luka’s quest to defeat the Monster Lord.
