Ulara, also known as Spring Breath Town, is a Wingly city visited during the events of CD 4. It is a peaceful town with friendly inhabitants under the supervision of Charle Frahma, the elder sister of the ancient Wingly dictator Melbu Frahma.
Story[]
Chapter 4: Moon & Fate[]
Upon entering Ulara, Rose receives a heartful welcome by her friend Caron, a Wingly in service of Charle Frahma, and they meet Miata, another old acquaintance of Rose. The group proceeds to meet with Charle, who proceeds to tell them the entire lore about the Signet Sphere, the Divine Moon Objects, the Moon That Never Sets and its connection to the 108th fruit of the Divine Tree, about her brother Melbu Frahma's rule in the ancient times, and about Zieg. It is here that the pieces of history are put together to understand the lore of the Moon Child and the role of the Black Monster.
Charle Frahma welcomes Dart and his group in Ulara.
The Winglies, the 107th species originating from the Divine Tree, had knowledge that the 108th fruit will give birth to the Virage Embryo, or the God of Destruction, to purge and destroy the world. In order to prevent this, the Winglies seperated the body and soul of the God of Destruction, the body in the form of the Moon That Never Sets, and the soul in the Crystal Sphere, an articfact worn by Melbu Frahma. Frahma abused the power of the Crystal Sphere to draw unlimited magical power from it in order to obtain absolute power and reign over all living creatures. Charle Frahma in turn created five Signet Spheres in turn to keep the God's body, the Moon That Never Sets, imprisoned in the sky, and to weaken the power of the Crystal Sphere, wishing for peace and and end of Melbu Frahma's oppressive reign.
| “ | I told you that we sealed the soul of the Virage Embryo in the Crystal Sphere, right? It is in order to draw lots of magical power and rule over other species. I...wanted to make him stop being a dictator. Because even though we have different appearances or capabilities, we are the same. We should be able to live together on good terms. That's why I created the Signet Sphere in order to weaken the magic power of the Crystal Sphere. Rose, without telling you that. The five Signets that protect the Moon That Never Sets restrained the magic power that flows from there. My operation was a big success! I thought. | ” |

Melbu Frahma would later go on to create the Divine Moon Objects, containing vast amounts of magical power, to destroy the Signet Spheres whenever he desires it. In the final battle of the Dragon Campaign, Melbu Frahma was slain by Zieg in a duel and the Crystal Sphere broke, releasing the soul of the God of Destruction to wander around and merge with a human child every 108 years. This child was destined to be the promised "herald", the Moon Child, to supposedly fill the world with bliss. To prevent the merging of the Moon Child, carrying the soul of the god, with the body, Rose took on the tragic task of killing the Moon Child every 108 years, and everyone who witnessed its life and birth to prevent them to become followers to the God of Destruction. Over the millenials, this repeated story became the legend of the Black Monster.
| “ | Rosie, honey. You have been doing really great. Since the soul of the Virage Embryo, the God of Destruction was released, you have saved the world, let me see, at least 107 times. | ” |

Charle Frahma further elaborates that of the original five Signet Spheres, two have already been destroyed: One during the Dragon Campaign in the final battle at Kadessa, and the other one when the Divine Dragon attacked the Crystal Palace in Deningrad, which was actually the ancient Wingly city of birth and thus contained a Signet Sphere. The remaining three Signet Spheres are to be found in the "Magic City" Aglis, the "Law City" Zenebatos and the "Death City" Mayfil, with Charle Frahma suggesting going to Rouge first in search of Aglis.
Upon hearing these stories, the group disbands and decides to spend the night in Ulara. Dart first meets with Rose, who asks for forgiveness for what she did to his hometown Neet. The two have a sparring match, with Dart emerging victorious. Upon praising Dart for having become strong, Rose asks of him to kill her, but he refuses to do so, as he has come to a closure about his past and found forgiveness knowing about the real purpose of the Black Monster.
| “ | "The Black Monster is dead now. We only have.... A companion who is on the same road." | ” |

The two then proceed to gather with the rest of group: Meru is found conversing with Caron about the Forest of Winglies, Albert and Kongol are met in the weapon shop preparing for the task at hand, and Haschel and Miranda are met in a bar where they talk about their struggles from their past. There, Rose and Miranda, having had an argument in the Death Frontier before, approach each other and ask the wish to speak, and appear to reconcile.
The population of Ulara sending the group off in their pursuit of Zieg.
The following day, the entire population of Ulara gathers at the entrance teleporter to send them off. The group leaves Ulara and heads towards Fletz, where King Zior was informed by Caron to prepare the Queen Fury in order to leave for the Broken Islands, where Rouge lies.
After being teleported out of Ulara, Dart and company find a new road from there to the Home of Gigantos, and a new harbor in Fletz.
Gameplay[]
Walkthrough[]
- After entering Ulara and talking to Caron, the player should first head to Charle Frahma by entering the city to the north and using the right path on the "bridge" area (although an optional cutscene can be seen at the bed of roses when following the left path first, which also leads to the shops).
- When using the right path, the player will end up at the carnivorous plants and speak to Miata. When speaking with the Young Wingly in the same screen, the player can get some information on Faust, although this is optional. To proceed to Charle Frahma, the player should head west, use the teleporter and enter the building, which is the residence of Charle Frahma.
- When talking to Charle Frahma, the player first needs to hear the explanation on all three subjects (Signet Sphere, Moon That Never Sets, Zieg), which will unlock two more topics that must be read as well (items to break the Signets, location of the remaining Signets). After this, the daytime will change to night, and the player has to gather the rest of the group.
- After returning to the carnicorous plants, a cutscene between Dart and Rose will play. Miranda and Haschel can be found in the bar, which is accessed from the "bridge" area on the bottom right by using the teleporter. Albert and Kongol are in the shop, and Meru is at the town entry talking to Caron.
- After reuiniting the group, the time will change back to daytime. The player can now gather remaining Stardust (if not done so before) or head back to the entry, where they will be sent off.
- The player will now be west of Tiberoa and has to return to Fletz through the Home of Gigantos, the Valley of Corrupted Gravity and the Barrens.
