The movie begins with Regis and Noctis—who is recuperating from his near-death experience—visiting Tenebrae. Niflheim launches an attack on the kingdom in an attempt to kill the Lucian royal family, and in the ensuing invasion the queen of Tenebrae is killed by imperial general Glauca. Regis attempts to flee with Lunafreya, but she decides to stay with her brother Ravus; both subsequently become subjects under Niflheim's rule.
