About The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd
Half a year after Trails in the Sky Second Chapter, Liberl enjoys a calm period, yet powerful individuals are drawn to ancient artifacts. The Septian Church’s Gralsritter order routinely hunts these seekers, believing they act in the Goddess’s name.
Father Kevin Graham receives a new assignment to retrieve an artifact beneath Grancel Cathedral. He must work with a rookie Gralsritter and his childhood friend Sister Ries Argent, leading them into the rule‑bound realm of Phantasma where hidden church history is revealed.

Story premise
The narrative follows high‑ranking Gralsritter Father Kevin Graham as he partners with a new recruit and Sister Ries Argent to secure an artifact hidden beneath Grancel Cathedral. Their mission quickly shifts into Phantasma, a realm governed by an unnaturally strict set of rules.
Within Phantasma, the Septian Church’s past and the concealed histories of familiar characters are exposed through Moon and Star doors. The story suggests that some truths may have been better left sealed behind those doors.
- Track each Moon and Star door to see how character backstories expand.
- Contrast the Gralsritter’s motives with those of the artifact seekers.
