Season 2: Episode 5 – What Cannot Be Trained

Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

In Alltud, survival is only the beginning, and then you have to earn it again. As Kylah begins her training within the hidden desert city, she quickly learns that strength alone will not be enough to secure her place among its people. Lessons and skills are meant to help you but offer no guarantee because not everything can be taught.

Some enemies are not placed before you by chance. As Kylah is pushed to her limits in every way, she learns the greatest threat she faces may be the one she chooses. In Alltud, there is only one way to belong, and it comes at a cost that cannot be undone. The desert demands justice, and it is always satisfied.
