Prior to the events of Glorious Memories, King Vargas is present in the castle as a yeti, a bear-like creature that he was turned into many years ago by a mysterious beast called a Gnoeal. Due to this, Vargas is not fit to rule his country and the player must help him, which leads to the quest Throne of Miscellania. Afterwards, the neighbouring kingdom of Etceteria, who has always had a bitter rivalry, is at war with Miscellania, despite neither of the nations having a military. The player must help out the two islands and bring them closer together in the quest Royal Trouble.
