 However, his travels involve more adventure than he anticipates.His journey involves traveling through the Grasslands, where one village happens to be celebrating the legend of the Flame Champion and the Fire Bringers who stopped the Harmonians from invading some sixty years ago; an unfortunate stop over in Caleria, the base of operations for mercenaries of Southern Harmonian Border Defence Force; helping stop a wild dragon from terrorizing a village before finally reaching his destination.As "Volume 2" was released roughly a year before "Suikoden III", it presumably helped set up and introduce the Grasslands, which were the main focus of "Suikoden III".
