During their stay, they find a cache left behind by Pankraz deep inside [[Whealbrook Adit]] - where they find the [[Zenithian sword]] and a letter from Pankraz explaining that he has been searching for the legendary hero and the [[Zenithian Equipment|Zenithian gear]], as Madaline was captured by the forces of [[Nadiria]] years ago. Heading west to Roundbeck, the two learn that Bianca and her family have since moved away, as well as some disturbing rumors about [[Coburg]]. Upon returning, they learn Harry's father has passed on leaving his half-brother Wilbur as king, and the Queen Dowager is enacting a tyrannical rule over the kingdom. Sneaking into the castle via a secret entrance, they pass through the dungeons -- where they find the real Queen Dowager held captive in a cell. After entering the courtyard, they speak with Wilbur, who discreetly passes a key to Harry in order to access a teleportal.  Wanting to determine who is the impostor, the hero and Harry set off to find [[Ra's Mirror]] stored at [[Abovitall Tower]]. With it, the false queen is unmasked and defeated. Harry decides to stay at Coburg to help his brother run the kingdom, leaving the hero to continue his journey alone.

He can equip certain swords, boomerangs, whips, staffs, flails, and even the metal king series of equipment. His HP growth is very high, likely to balance out his low defense stat, with all other attributes varying in growth throughout the game.
Madason can equip certain swords, boomerangs, whips, staffs, flails, and even the metal king series of equipment. His HP growth is very high, likely to balance out his low resilience stat, with all other attributes varying in growth throughout the game. His luck stat is interesting, as it's growth rate is very poor in the beginning but grows by leaps and bounds in the second generation onwards.


The hero is a very versatile fighter. He also is very good in magic, although, as is the case with most heroes, his spells mainly revolve around healing and support.
