The Prologue - The Nightwings
You can move your cursor over the red highlighted names and phrases for more info to be displayed about them. This goes for every character you meet, new game mechanic, and additional info that leads to more backstory on world.
Eventually you'll be be invited to the Blackwagon, where most of the game's intermission moments will take place. Here you'll have dialogue with different characters and can interact with a number of objects later in the game. During these story sections, you will be asked to make some response choices that somewhat change the dialogue you see, but only mildly based on what you choose. The story will progress just the same.
Eventually, you'll be able to look at the Book of Rites, which will give you information on locations you visit, backstory on the world, and will update as you progress through the game. After some more dialogue, you'll begin to black out and will be taken to the first Rites match you'll experience.
Here you'll get introduced to the gameplay of the Rites and how to control your characters. Simply follow the dialogue and the instructions that appear as they come. You'll pick up the Orb, maneuver with it, and eventually throw it into the opposing Pyre. Eventually, you'll face a shadowy version of your group in the Rites, which will give a solid overview on how to face all the Adversaires you'll meet throughout the game. Once you extinguish the opponent's Pyre, then you'll move on to the next story section.
After the intro match, you'll be back at the Blackwagon. You'll then have to look at the stars to mark your next destination for the upcoming real Rites match. When you look at the stars, you'll be directed towards Gol, the South Star; where you'll need to head towards the Ridge of Gol. Once you finish up the next batch of dialogue, you'll begin moving ahead to the destination.
