The World of Kazoryu: Lanterns, Harbours and Jade Dragons
Kazoryu is a painted world. Petals drift past pagodas, lanterns burn along the harbour, and waterfalls fall beside torii gates. This is a walk through the places you will meet first, and the ideas that tie them together.
A world drawn to be read
KAZORYU ONLINE is a 2D online action-RPG set in an Asian-fantasy world of sakura, lanterns, pagodas, waterfalls, torii gates and jade dragons. The art, the audio and the code are our own, so every map is built to feel like a place you could live in, not a stage for combat.
The palette is deliberate. Parchment cream and gold frame everything you can read, jade teal belongs to water, sakura pink to spring, deep indigo to night and lantern amber to anywhere warm. Once you notice the pattern, the world starts explaining itself.
Islands first, harbour second
Nobody starts in the capital. There are 31 opening islands, each with its own residents and a five-quest tutorial chain. The chain ends at level 10, and then a ferry carries you to Lantern Harbor, the main harbour town.
Treat the islands as a prologue you would not want to skip. They are small enough to learn in an evening, and they set the tone before the world opens up.
Tip. Talk to everyone on your island before you leave. The residents are written for that place, and they are the faces the story comes back to.
