Overview
Dragon Star Varnir plunges players into a dark fantasy world where witches are persecuted for birthing dragons. You play as Zephy, a knight tasked with hunting these witches. However, a near-fatal mission changes everything when two witches save Zephy by infusing him with dragon blood, granting him new magical powers. This act binds his fate to theirs, forcing him to join them in a desperate fight against a relentless Empire, ruthless dragon hunters, and a terrifyingly powerful witch.
