Translation
Yggdrasil; The destination of all players who log in to «ALfheim Online».

The tribe who reaches the legendary floating city above «Yggdrasil» and has an audience with the «Fairy King Oberon», who lives there, is able to be reborn as a high-class race, the «Alf». By being reborn into true fairies, the «Alf», the hover limit imposed on the system is eliminated and unlimited flight is possible. And along with it, they are capable to become the rulers of this infinite sky. It's possible to enter this floating city through a dome at the root of «Yggdrasil». However, guardian knights who boast of overwhelming strength guard the entrance. One year has passed since the opening of «ALO», and that quest has yet to be cleared.
