The Astrae Oratio setting takes place in a fictional version of 1889 Tokyo. This magic RPG is the first project from Dynamis One, a studio formed by former Blue Archive developers. The title is officially shortened to “Asora” and is currently scheduled for a 2026 launch.

The Reisei Era & Magical Proportionality
The story is set during the 9th year of the fictional Reisei Era. This timeline functions differently than history, as technology and culture have moved nearly a century ahead of the actual 1889. Following major economic growth, this version of Tokyo has beaten Kyoto for the right to host the next “Expo” and is finishing construction on a version of the Tokyo Tower.
A unique technical mechanic in the worldbuilding is the link between population and power. The strength of magic is directly proportional to the scale of human life. Since Tokyo is the largest metropolis in this world, it functions as the most powerful magical dominion on the planet.
Artifacts & Special District Office
Players take on the role of a Shunin (Chief) within the Special District Office. This administrative body was created by a group known as the Other Cabinet to manage the vast magical energy surrounding the city.
Disputes in this world are settled through magic duels called “Trials of Dominion.” In these battles, magicians use Artifacts which are physical manifestations of their will. These weapons take many forms, including:
- Historical Antiques: Items like Hecate’s Dagger.
- Modern Inventions: New tools shaped by contemporary ideas.
The story involves joining or leading five distinct clans. Confirmed groups include Minato, a clan of magician girls from the Minato International Middle School, and The Seiran Fellowship, which consists of daughters from powerful conglomerate families.
