The history of the Empire spans 1185 years. And just like that, it ends.

Ferdinand
volume_up

But the Hresvelg legacy could live on...

Ferdinand
volume_up

When Edelgard assumed power, there were no other rightful heirs.

Ferdinand
volume_up

She said that whoever takes the throne next should do so by virtue of merit, not blood. And she truly meant what she said.

Ferdinand
volume_up

At any rate... I feel that a huge hole has opened up in my heart. Who knows if it can ever be filled?

Linhardt

link
Linhardt
volume_up

As history proves, everything comes to an end eventually. I knew that all along, but it still came as a surprise.

Linhardt
volume_up

Those who slither in the dark... It's all so fascinating and strange. They must certainly have a long history of their own.

Linhardt
volume_up

And when they fall, that will come quickly too. Don't you think?

Linhardt
volume_up

Heh, that almost sounded like a prophecy there. Am I spooking you yet?

Caspar

link
Caspar
volume_up

He's dead... My father's dead... I'm OK though. Really.

Caspar
volume_up

I was ready for it. He was a general in the Imperial army, after all. Minister of Military Affairs...

Caspar
volume_up

He gave his own life so the Empire's soldiers wouldn't have to lose theirs.

Caspar
volume_up

That's a fight that only he could take on. He was such a tough guy.

Caspar
volume_up

I fought side by side with you this whole time.

Caspar
volume_up

But did I ever get any stronger? Will I ever be as strong as my father?

Bernadetta

link
Bernadetta
volume_up

With Edelgard gone, maybe Fódlan will finally find some peace.

Bernadetta
volume_up

That's all well and good, but, um...

Bernadetta
volume_up

She was also the one to put my father under house arrest, so now he's been released, and he's taken charge of House Varley.

Bernadetta
volume_up

I can't handle it! I can't deal with him! Please, you have to do something!

Bernadetta
volume_up

Thank you so much!

Dorothea

link
Dorothea
volume_up

So, the moment we defeat Edie, the nobles cozy up to the Alliance and church...

Dorothea
volume_up

That lot really does think only of themselves, and no one else.

Dorothea
volume_up

But then there's Count Bergliez. He used to be Minister of Military Affairs...

Dorothea
volume_up

He sacrificed his own life so that all the soldiers and officers who fought could be given quarter...

Dorothea
volume_up

When I heard that... I don't know...that simple act of humanity... I couldn't help it. I burst into tears.

Dorothea
volume_up

You know Count Bergliez is Caspar's father, right? I can't even imagine how Caspar must feel about it.

Petra

link
Petra
volume_up

The Empire has broken in...in smithereens. Now it is possible for me to go back to Brigid.

Petra
volume_up

But... I cannot choose that choice. The time is still too soon for that.

Petra
volume_up

We must be stopping the evil for everyone in Fódlan. We will be fighting until the end of it!

Felix

link
Felix
volume_up

I thought that after the Empire fell, the boar might finally be avenged...

Felix
volume_up

But something dark is certainly lurking in the shadows—an organization behind the Empire.

Felix
volume_up

We'll have to take care of them if the boar... if Dimitri is to rest in peace.

Ashe

link
Ashe
volume_up

I've only ever done what I thought was just.

Ashe
volume_up

I've got no regrets, but sometimes I do wonder if I've really done the right thing.

Ashe
volume_up

Was all this really for the best?

Ashe
volume_up

Sorry—thinking about the end of the war makes me reconsider all kinds of things.

Ashe
volume_up

But it's not over yet, is it? I need to steel myself for the next battle.

Sylvain

link
Sylvain
volume_up

This war might be over but not war in general. Human beings thrive on conflict. We can't get enough of it.

Sylvain
volume_up

I don't know when, but you know someday another war will begin.

Sylvain
volume_up

Heh heh... That's the way it is, right?

Sylvain
volume_up

Yeah, but the fight is still worth it.

Sylvain
volume_up

War may always come back but so will peace.

Sylvain
volume_up

And peace is what we fight for.

Mercedes

Mercedes
volume_up

Lady Rhea still seems weak...but at least she's safe now.

Mercedes
volume_up

I'm praying that she'll be well as soon as possible.

Mercedes
volume_up

Goddess...I beg you... Protect Lady Rhea!

Annette

link
Annette
volume_up

Finally that awful war is over.

Annette
volume_up

Everyone lost something, and everyone had to make sacrifices...

Annette
volume_up

But maybe we can put a stop to all of this pain and loss now. Let's hurry to Shambhala, Professor!

Annette
volume_up

We have to defeat them if we ever want to see a world without war.

Ingrid

link
Ingrid
volume_up

Is it really prudent to bring Lady Rhea on our upcoming expedition?

Ingrid
volume_up

It would be best not to have her doing anything strenuous, considering how long she was confined...

Ingrid
volume_up

There are still many in Fódlan who are seeking Lady Rhea's salvation.

Ingrid
volume_up

For their sake, we cannot put her in harm's way.

Lorenz

link
Lorenz
volume_up

A mysterious power threatening the very future of Fódlan? Certainly we cannot give it leeway.

Lorenz
volume_up

Right now, the Empire, the Kingdom, and even the Alliance no longer exist. There is only Fódlan—and Fódlan must fight together as one!

Lorenz
volume_up

Fear will serve no purpose here. The only path to survival now is victory.

Lorenz
volume_up

There is simply no option but victory! The alternative is unthinkable.

Lorenz
volume_up

Perhaps I will have the opportunity to strike the decisive blow on the enemy commander. That would secure my place in history for certain!

Raphael

Raphael
volume_up

Wake up, eat, train, eat, train, eat, sleep.

Raphael
volume_up

We gotta prepare for the assault, but that hasn't changed my routine!

Raphael
volume_up

All the training...and eating...I do is for the sake of Fódlan! Gotta stay strong...and fed...to keep it safe!

Ignatz

link
Ignatz
volume_up

Our next opponent is an ally of Solon.

Ignatz
volume_up

Do you remember what Solon called us?

Ignatz
volume_up

No. He called us beasts.

Ignatz
volume_up

That's right. He called us beasts.

Ignatz
volume_up

No. He called us beasts.

Ignatz
volume_up

Meanwhile, he refers to himself as "the Savior."

Ignatz
volume_up

Who exactly is he saving?

Lysithea

link
Lysithea
volume_up

Those who slither in the dark... It seems we'll finally discover their true form.

Lysithea
volume_up

I get the sense that they're in league with the mages who experimented on me as a child.

Lysithea
volume_up

I wouldn't be surprised if Edelgard was subjected to them too.

Lysithea
volume_up

There's no telling what their true motives are.

Lysithea
volume_up

But whatever their motives, what they have done is unforgivable. They must be exterminated.

Marianne

link
Marianne
volume_up

I thought the war would end with Edelgard's defeat... But that wasn't the case.

Marianne
volume_up

This may be premature, but I'm feeling a little relieved.

Marianne
volume_up

I have to consider what I'll do with myself and where I'll go when this war is finally over...

Marianne
volume_up

I don't have an answer yet...

Marianne
volume_up

Let's make sure the next battle puts an end to this war. That way we can all move forward!

Hilda

link
Hilda
volume_up

"Shambhala" it was called, right? Scary that it's so close to the House Goneril territories.

Hilda
volume_up

Who'd have thought all those creeps were living right under my nose?

Hilda
volume_up

I was hoping my big brother would help us in this next battle.

Hilda
volume_up

But he says that I can represent House Goneril without his help. That I have it in me.

Hilda
volume_up

I'm glad he recognizes that I have some ability. Still, I wish he wasn't leaving it all to me.

Leonie

link
Leonie
volume_up

These are Monica's people, aren't they? The ones who killed Captain Jeralt.

Leonie
volume_up

Then this is my real opportunity for revenge. There's no way I can back down from this one.

Leonie
volume_up

No, I'm OK. Actually, I'm eager to get out there and fight. This is what I've been training for.

Leonie
volume_up

If we lose, it's the end for Fódlan. So we have to win, even if it kills us.

Seteth

link
Seteth
volume_up

Rhea is sleeping right now. If it is not absolutely urgent, please do not disturb her rest.

Seteth
volume_up

The long confinement took its toll on her health. Truthfully, she is in no shape to be exerting herself at all—to say nothing of a military expedition.

Seteth
volume_up

To make matters worse, we are now facing a very old enemy. One that has conspired against us since time out of mind.

Seteth
volume_up

Please proceed with caution. I have a bad feeling.

Flayn

link
Flayn
volume_up

I am so glad that Rhea is unharmed.

Flayn
volume_up

My brother continues to worry about her, however.

Flayn
volume_up

Of course, I am worried myself. I cannot imagine being in that situation while in such a state...

Flayn
volume_up

I hope she will rest now and leave it up to you and my brother to see things through.

Hanneman

link
Hanneman
volume_up

A mysterious organization, slithering in the dark of Fódlan... Like something out of a midnight tale.

Hanneman
volume_up

It appears these fiends have infiltrated the deepest corners of the Empire.

Hanneman
volume_up

After the fall of Enbarr, they've remained well concealed...

Hanneman
volume_up

That said, I would keep an eye on Edelgard's uncle, Lord Arundel. Something about him sits ill with me.

Manuela

Manuela
volume_up

Professor! I just got word from the opera company.

Manuela
volume_up

I don't know if everyone survived, but it looks like they should be able to mount a revival.

Manuela
volume_up

They even asked if I'd consider making a return to the stage someday...

Manuela
volume_up

I suspect I may refuse though. We're at the dawn of something new. No reason to look backwards, eh?

Alois

link
Alois
volume_up

You've done it. You did it. You crushed the Empire, and rescued Lady Rhea.

Alois
volume_up

I'm sure the captain is proud of you right now. As am I, of course! I'm as proud as if I'd done it myself!

Alois
volume_up

Sorry. I didn't mean to overdo it.

Alois
volume_up

We still have to deal with Monica's group... Those who killed the captain.

Alois
volume_up

We'll knock 'em down so hard that they can't get back up!

Catherine

link
Catherine
volume_up

We rescued Lady Rhea! I can hardly express my joy.

Catherine
volume_up

But now we know about a new foe, who intends to bring her harm.

Catherine
volume_up

In time, we'll realize the peaceful world that Lady Rhea has always hoped for. I'll have to keep that in mind when I'm fighting.

Shamir

link
Shamir
volume_up

We saved Rhea and the Empire has crumbled. The Kingdom may as well be finished too.

Shamir
volume_up

The reasons for me to remain in Fódlan are fading.

Shamir
volume_up

Of course. I've come this far. May as well see it through to the end.

Shamir
volume_up

That's a little hasty. I've come this far. May as well see it through to the end.

Cyril

Cyril
volume_up

Lady Rhea's back! Lady Rhea's back! I'm so happy!

Cyril
volume_up

But...things aren't gonna be like they used to be any time soon, are they?

Cyril
volume_up

There's still folks out there that want us all dead, and Lady Rhea still hasn't regained her strength yet.

Cyril
volume_up

Speaking of which, Professor, please don't ask too much of her right now, OK?

Gatekeeper

Gatekeeper
volume_up

Greetings, Professor! Nothing to report!

Gatekeeper

I can hardly believe you managed to handle the capital city like that. Everyone did sterling work!

Gatekeeper
volume_up

I really thought we'd know peace after that battle. But we're not quite there yet, huh?

Shifty Merchant

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.

Monk

Soldier

Soldier

I can still see Dedue's struggle when I close my eyes...

Soldier

I don't know why he was so bent on destroying Edelgard...

Soldier
volume_up

Now that we've completed our mission, I can only pray that his soul is accepted into heaven to rest in peace.

link
Soldier
volume_up

Dedue saw to it that Edelgard was destroyed before he departed.

Soldier
volume_up

His expression once his mission was over...was a bit lonely.

Soldier
volume_up

I don't know where he went off to after that. Maybe he returned home to Duscur.

Churchgoer

Churchgoer

So Lady Rhea was all right after all! Well done bringing her back safely!

Churchgoer

Finally, us true believers may breathe easy again.

Churchgoer

Simply magnificent! Hm? You're saying the fight isn't over yet?

Monk

We have succeeded in rescuing Lady Rhea, but Seteth's countenance remains clouded...

Monk

When will peaceful days return to this monastery? That time feels so distant...

Knight of Seiros

Knight of Seiros

We finally got Lady Rhea back from the Empire and fulfilled our mission.

Knight of Seiros

I wish we could afford for her to have a good, long rest... But that just isn't possible.

Soldier

link
Soldier
volume_up

We won against the Imperial army! I still can't believe it!

Soldier
volume_up

But I guess we still have some enemies left. I'm not well informed, but I have plenty of fighting spirit!

Knight of Seiros

link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

Fighting against enemies whose true nature is unknown is honestly really scary. Still...

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

If there's a force in this world that clearly means us harm, we have no choice but to fight back.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

With our own hands, we'll safeguard Fódlan's future!

Churchgoer

link
Churchgoer
volume_up

I heard that Lady Rhea's back! But why hasn't she shown herself to everyone yet?

Churchgoer
volume_up

Oh, she's convalescing? Fair enough. She was in captivity for a long time.

Churchgoer
volume_up

I pray that she feels better soon.

Soldier

link
Soldier
volume_up

I thought that taking the Empire's capital would bring an end to this war... How naive of me.

Soldier
volume_up

I'll have to write to my family and tell them I'll be gone a while longer.

Priest

link
Priest
volume_up

Lady Rhea's return has already been proclaimed to all the churches in all parts of Fódlan...

Priest
volume_up

They are also being informed by order of Seteth that visitations are very restricted for the time being.

Priest
volume_up

It makes sense. Otherwise, pilgrims would come from all over Fódlan and overwhelm the monastery.

Monk

Monk
volume_up

Professor! My most heartfelt thanks and congratulations on Lady Rhea's safe return!

Monk

With your magnificent achievements, maybe you'll join the ranks of the saints one day...

Slithering in darkness. Unsettling to say the least. You must be boiling to avenge your father though.

You seem pretty calm for what it is we're staring at. Where's your fire, huh?

Yuri

I've gotta say, I wish you were a little more fiery about all this.

Yuri

Though, I suppose a lot of time has passed since your father died.

Yuri

I imagine this battle will be a defining moment in history. All or nothing. Let's do this.

Balthus

Balthus

I thought defeating the Empire would be the end of it, but now we're after some mysterious shadow organization? For crying out loud...

Balthus

If that's what it takes to achieve peace, count me and my muscles in.

Balthus

This might be my last chance to literally save the world with my strength. Not gonna let that pass me by.

Constance

Constance

Whatever threatens Fódlan also threatens my dream.

Constance

This folly must end now!

Constance

Fear is not a consideration of mine. I do what must be done and always have.

Constance
volume_up

You go to war harboring such doubts? Pray keep these fainthearted ruminations to yourself!

Constance
volume_up

What is frightening is to have scant idea of what is in store. Now that we know, victory shall be ours.

Hapi

Sounds like there were shenanigans happening behind the scenes in the Empire.

I think war was basically inevitable no matter what Eddy did, with those creeps pulling the strings.

Never mind. Not worth mentioning.

Ancient sprawling remains deep below Garreg Mach... That's Abyss.

Hey, you. Listen up. I've got something to report.

I've been gone from the monastery for some time now because... Well, it matters not.
