The Chaos of War

Ferdinand
Linhardt
They used to call Enbarr the city of Seiros... To assault it, together with the knights, is surreal.
In Enbarr, there was once a Southern Church, and apparently a bishop was dispatched to it.
Until five years ago, the Empire and the church maintained a certain distance from one another.
Caspar
Bernadetta
I don't have many good memories of her if I'm being honest, but she's dearer to me than my father.
If you happen to see her, please make sure she's not caught up in all the fighting.
She's only a civil servant, so hopefully she takes a cue from her Bernie and stays inside.

So Enbarr, the capital of the Empire. It's finally time. I never thought I'd live this long.
It's like any battle, really—stay calm, stay focused. Don't give in to the enemy or your own fear.
Hey, I'm always serious! When I'm chasing girls or preparing for battle, always serious. That's me...
Mercedes
Annette
Ingrid
My hope is for a world at peace. A world in which this present turmoil is a thing of the past—the stuff of legends.
I believe those who survive the atrocities of war have a duty to create a new, better world.
We must win, Professor. There is no alternative here. I won't allow for anything else.
Lorenz
They say it is the biggest city in all Fódlan, so we will no doubt have many civilians to worry about.
I hope we can preserve the city. If it is destroyed in the battle, the people will face hardship.
I would say we should avoid the use of excessive force, but I suppose that hinges upon the Empire's terms of engagement.

Leonie
We're finally going to the capital. This will be my chance to avenge Captain Jeralt.
Monica killed Captain Jeralt for the Flame Emperor, and the Flame Emperor was Edelgard.
I know that the future of all Fódlan rests on this battle. Nothing else is more important.
But for me, this is personal. For Captain Jeralt's sake, I'm going to give it all I've got and more!

Cyril
Gatekeeper
Momentum's really picking up for this final battle, huh? Even I'm starting to feel tense! ME!
Enbarr's history goes back 1,400 years. That even predates the founding of the Empire.
But hey, no need to worry about the monastery while you're fighting the final battle. I've got it covered! I'll defend it to my last!
Shifty Merchant
Things we can't obtain here are likely obtainable by way of the underground.
Are you unfamiliar with Garreg Mach's underground? The place is an absolute paradise for those who can't stay above ground.

Churchgoer
Just recently, the fish in the pond suddenly started thrashing around like mad.
I didn't know what was going on, and then I saw something gleaming in the southeastern sky.
It happened right when you were out on campaign. I wonder what it could have been...
Knight of Seiros
We're forming small units and slowly sneaking into the Empire's territory.
That allows us to conceal ourselves along the path of the main army's progress, so that by the time we reach the capital, we can all join forces again.
However, if any of the units are discovered before we can rendezvous, the whole plan is a bust. I'm sure it will work out, though.
The Empire seems to think we've abandoned our plans to invade, so they're likely not keeping as close a watch.
Soldier
The Empire's army should be divided now, with significant troops still in the west.
If they don't assert their authority over the old Kingdom's lords, they'll never know when an uprising might start.
Ironically, as soon as we capture the Imperial capital, the old Kingdom's lords are likely to rise up immediately.
Priest
Monk
Knight of Seiros
The information about Lady Rhea being held in the Imperial capital came from an Imperial soldier at Merceus?
We can't discount the possibility that the enemy's feeding us fake information on purpose...
Soldier
Yuri
Balthus
According to a merchant who just came from the Alliance, my little bro made it home in one piece.
But House Albrecht lost a lot of troops. So did the nearby lords. Things are real bad over there.
If we don't stop the Empire soon, there won't be anyone left to help fight them off.
Constance
Hapi
Anna
I'd love to catch up, but I'm super busy right now. Working. For money. You understand.

There's unrest everywhere these days. All of my fellow merchants seem to be endangered.
I hope things go back to normal soon. People need more to smile about, aside from my great deals.
Some folks have made their home there. Obviously they all have their reasons and tales to tell.
But only the most enterprising merchant would venture near it. My advice? Avoid going there yourself.
Abysskeeper
Remember that battle six years ago? Oh... Um, I'm guessing you do. Anyway, remember that knight who watched over Abyss with me for a while?
I've been on the hunt for his whereabouts and... I finally found out what happened to him.
My friend...is no longer with us. Dead. Figured as much, but now I know for sure. I did get to meet his big sister, at least.
I'll never have the chance to thank him for our time together...but maybe I can find a way to help out his sister instead. Bet he would have liked that.
Resident
I hear there was a pretty spectacular battle up there recently, but we don't hear a lot about that stuff.
There was a lot of talk when it first started, but five years on... It's just a fact of life.
What? There have been lots of battles on the surface recently? I hadn't heard! See what I mean?
Resident
Hermit
Those lights that came down on Merceus...I might have seen them before, here at Garreg Mach.
They looked like they'd rain down right on top of us, but at the last moment, they veered off...
I think they crashed into Ailell. It must have been the goddess's blessing that protected us.
Monk
I did indeed. I was acquainted with your parents. I've been wanting to speak with you for a while now.
Do you mind terribly picking up some fresh flowers to place upon your mother's grave?
