Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar is set in a fantasy world entitled Hyperborea, guarded by a powerful creature known as the White Owl (also known as the "Winged Exemplar", hence the game's subtitle). The White Owl has set up a clock, named the "Metronome Mysterium", to promote peace and tranquility throughout Hyperborea, which had been plagued by conflict before the implementation of the clock. Knowledge of the Metronome Mysterium's location on nine hidden tablets, but the White Owl soon forgot the location of them. As the clock began to count down and unwind, the player is required to locate the nine tablets in order to restore the state of peace Hyperborea was once in.
In Grimoire, it is possible to create your own party from 15 different professions and 14 different races. In addition, out of the 64 friendly characters encountered during the game, about 25 can be recruited into one's own party of up to 8 members. The player can choose between five different beginnings and can adjust the combat difficulty level throughout the game.
