About Maquia - When the Promised Flower Blooms
The people of Iorph live far away from the lands of men, weaving the happenings of each day
into a fabric called Hibiol. They live for centuries while maintaining their youthful appearance.
Maquia, an orphaned Iorph girl, lives in an oasis surrounded by friends, yet somehow feels
alone. But the tranquil lives of the Iorph are shattered in an instant when the Mezarte army
invades their territory on a dragon fleet, seeking the blood that grants the Iorph long life. Maquia
manages to escape, but loses her friends and her home in the chaos. She then encounters an
orphaned baby who is also alone. Maquia raises this boy, Ariel, with the help of some new
friends. But as the era changes, the bond between Maquia and Ariel changes too, amidst a
backdrop of racial tensions between the Iorph and the Mezarte. This is a story of irreplaceable
time, woven by two lonely people who can only find solace in each other.
