Q & A

Who is Ura and what is his role?

Ura is a stoic figure who warns the player not to fight the dragon at Lake Agheel. He is a hunter of bloody fingers - invaders who attack other players.

What are the Bloody Fingers?

The Bloody Fingers are invaders, loyal to the Lord of Blood, who attack other players using blood magic. They sacrifice their victims to offer blood to the Lord of Blood.

Who is Elanora and what is her relationship to Ura?

Elanora Violet is the deadliest of the Bloody Fingers. She was once a Drake Knight that Ura admired. Ura loved Elanora but she became corrupted in her pursuit of dragon power.

What warnings does Ura give about Dragon Communion?

Ura warns that consuming too many dragon hearts in pursuit of their power leads to a loss of humanity and eternal torment. This happens to Elanora.

How does the civil war in the Land of Reeds connect to characters' motivations?

Okina went mad due to the war and turned into a demon loyal to the Lord of Blood for power. The war helps explain why Elanora may have also sought power from dragons and turned into a Bloody Finger.

What is Ura's fighting style and equipment?

Ura uses a long katana called the Nagakiba. His armor and weaponry have Japanese influence. This connects him to the Land of Reeds, which seems inspired by East Asia.

What does Ura's helmet description reveal about his motivations?

His helmet says that Ura "kept a woman in the deepest reaches of his heart", implying his actions against Elanora and the Bloody Fingers are motivated by his love for her.

Why doesn't cutting off Elanora's finger save her from corruption?

The foul blood has infected Elanora's whole body, not just her finger, so removing the finger itself wouldn't cleanse her blood or restore her humanity.

How do Ura's final words to Elanora reveal his love for her?

Despite everything, Ura tenderly pleads for Elanora to "yield to the calm" and not stain her sword or fire, showing how he still cares for her purity and flame.

Why doesn't Elanora reciprocate Ura's feelings?

As a silent Drake Knight wholly devoted to dragons and her role as a deadly Bloody Finger, Elanora remains coldly unmoved by Ura's dying love confession, tragically indifferent to his affections for her.
