From the introduction: Welcome, Jumper, to the world of White Knight Chronicles. White Knight Chronicles is an “epic” fantasy tale about two kingdoms in midst of a longstanding war. The King of Balandor, wishing to put an end to the war, invites the duke of Faria to his castle to celebrate his daughter's coming of age. This celebration is sabotaged by the Magi though, a rogue sect seeking to steal the White Knight, an ancient weapon of war from a thousand years ago sealed beneath Balandor castle, in order to take over the world. During the ensuing chaos, a young man named Leonard accidentally unlocks the power of the White Knight as he attempts to save the princess. With the kingdoms in chaos and the princess in peril, Leonard is entrusted with the mission to find the Magi and rescue the princess. This being said, you arrive right after this tragic event, as the story is just beginning. This same story getting a bit. . .strange at times, with cheesy romance plots that seem ripped from old fairy tales, certain people oddly being treated like they don’t exist and a very, very. . .let’s say dense cast for the most part.
