An Esrian Tale: The Wizard's Dream was the first game set in the world of Esria. It established the setting and laid the foundation for future adventures. It told the story of a young wizard who set out to uncover the truth behind the worrying disappearance of magic from the world, and the companions who joined him along the way. Although shorter than later iterations, it would set events into motion that would continue to be felt by generations of heroes to come.
