Rev. NOiR Lightfall Story Explained

What is Lightfall?

Lightfall is the central catastrophe in the official story. KONAMI describes it as a deadly phenomenon that brings death to all it touches, with a recurring Lightfall Season threatening the world. The Japanese official page calls the same event 光の雨 (light rain) and the season 光雨季, making the danger visual as well as systemic: the world is not waiting for one isolated attack, but for a season when lethal rain becomes continuous.

Why do Asch and Finé travel together?

Asch encounters Finé and her guard Diana in a remote village as the Lightfall Season approaches. Guided by an astral ordinance to “save many people,” Asch joins Finé’s quest to defeat the mysterious sources believed to drive Lightfall. The official synopsis frames this as a chance meeting that becomes a world-saving journey, while also asking whether their path will be determined by divine providence or carved out by human will.

What are the provitons, or 神機?

KONAMI’s English page identifies the mysterious provitons as the believed sources of Lightfall. The Japanese page calls them 神機, a term that points toward divine or astral machines. Their full nature, number, and mechanics have not been published, so this wiki will not describe them as confirmed monsters or bosses yet.

How does the official story set up the conflict?

Lightfall connects the game’s personal and political questions. The official synopsis places the calamity alongside the Determinant in the heavens, astral ordinances, and the tension between divine guidance and human will. The story therefore has three linked layers: a world-level disaster, a sacred system that assigns people a path, and two young protagonists who may decide whether that path deserves obedience.

Readers can already track four story threads: the approaching Lightfall Season, Asch’s instruction to save many people, Finé’s role as the Rainbow Astria wielder who can bring cessation to the Lightfall, and the search for the mysterious sources called provitons or 神機. Future official material can be compared against those threads instead of being treated as isolated trivia.
