The Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion is a role-playing game developed by MiCROViSion, originally released in 2005 for PC and PlayStation before receiving a PlayStation Portable remake. It is the fourth installment in the long-running Legend of Heroes series and the second entry in the Gagharv Trilogy. The PSP version, retitled simply A Tear of Vermillion for Western markets, holds the distinction of being the first game in the franchise to receive an English localization — a milestone that also prompted the other two Gagharv Trilogy titles to be renamed accordingly. As a traditional Japanese RPG, the game follows the series' established adventure-driven structure, blending story and exploration across its available platforms. Its localization marked a significant turning point in making the Legend of Heroes series accessible to English-speaking audiences for the first time.
The setting for the fourth Legend of Heroes game and the second in the Gagharv Trilogy takes place in the fictional land of El Phildin, fifty-six years before the events of "Moonlight Witch". The story begins with an insight to the past. Avin and Eimelle are orphaned children, ages 10 and 8 respectively, who are living in the city of Cathedral after being taken in by Supreme Priest Esperius. Avin is seen bringing milk for the kitten Eimelle snuck into the chapel. They both watch it drink to its heart's content. Before long, Oracle Ollesia appears. The children panic at being caught with the smuggled kitten, but Ollesia doesn't seem too concerned with that, yelling at them to take cover. Cathedral is under attack.
