Story

When Adol and Dogi make an unannounced visit to Dogi's hometown of Felghana, it was noticeable that things have changed while Dogi was away on his adventures. Many monsters roam the land and there is also an unsettling rumor of a long-dormant volcano suddenly becoming active again and the King of the land has become more evil with each passing day. The king has even forbid anyone from mining precious ores known as raval, a staple of the economy.

As Adol and Dogi begin their search for all the problems Felghana has been facing, they find clues that leads them more towards the dark truths that are somehow linked to each other. The closer they get the higher the stakes that not only includes Felghana but even the whole world.

The Oath in Felghana story takes place chronologically right after Ys IV but before Ys V.
