Countless innocent people died and Palmacosta was consumed in a terrible fire. Six months prior to the start of the game, the Church of Martel, led by the hero Lloyd Irving, attacked the Sylvaranti city Palmacosta because members of the Vanguard were meeting there. Two years have passed since the worlds were first merged, and the people of Sylvarant have created the Vanguard which is supposed to rise against the Church of Martel and the people of Tethe'alla. The citizens of Tethe'alla look down upon the citizens of Sylvarant due to their inferior technology, and the citizens of Sylvarant fear the citizens of Tethe'alla because of their power. However, Ratatosk is not the only problem: the people of the two worlds are starting to hate each other. All of this stems from an overlooked factor in the unification of the worlds: the spirit of the old Kharlan Tree, Ratatosk, still exists somewhere, and its slumber has sent the world into chaos. After the lands became one, maps were rendered useless and the climate went through many vast changes: desert towns became frozen wastelands and lakes dried up into valleys. However, its people are still faced with many problems. Together once more, the world is now entering a new era. This was the story of the Journey of Regeneration. At their journey's end, a new World Tree was planted to replace the old one and to hold the two worlds together. It was eventually left to a boy named Lloyd Irving and his friends to restore the world to its true form. Divine intervention tore them apart, however, and the World Tree withered and died. Long ago, Sylvarant and Tethe'alla were united as a single world that drew strength from the Great Kharlan Tree.
