The deterioration of the Sharance Tree has been mirrored in its surrounding areas, leading to decay.

After finding he can transform into a golden wooly, Micah is able to enter the Univir settlement located in the desert. The Univir are wary of humans, and only accept the presence of monsters in their village. In the process of befriending the villagers of Sharance and the villager of the Univir settlement, he stumbles on the knowledge of a growing distrust between Univir and humans that began years before, which puts him in a position of being able to mediate for the two and restore peace.

There are 11 marriage candidates to choose from, and you are able to have a child.
