Ferdinand

Ferdinand
volume_up

I have lost my dominion. My nobility may seem like nothing more than a title.

Ferdinand
volume_up

But I will never lose my noble heart.

Ferdinand
volume_up

I will stop Edelgard, even if it costs me my life.

Ferdinand
volume_up

I have turned my blade against her now. I cannot go back on that decision.

Ferdinand
volume_up

Professor... Do you think I chose the wrong path?

Ferdinand
volume_up

You are right...

Linhardt

Linhardt
volume_up

The promise was made five years ago, but I must say I'm rather impressed by how many of us managed to make it.

Linhardt
volume_up

Personally, I only showed up because I hoped to see you again, Professor.

Linhardt
volume_up

I've been with my family in the Empire until recently. I admit to feeling a little guilty betraying Her Majesty...but only a little.

Linhardt
volume_up

Now that we're all together again, I suppose the fighting will begin soon.

Caspar

link
Caspar
volume_up

Hey, Professor! You won't believe what happened!

Caspar
volume_up

I figured I couldn't go back to the Empire after Garreg Mach fell, so I started drifting across the Kingdom and Alliance.

Caspar
volume_up

Then I just happened to run into our old class, so we came back to the monastery together!

Bernadetta

link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Ah, at last, I return to my domain! My lonely paradise! My realm of exquisite solitude!

Bernadetta
volume_up

Huh? Professor? Is that, um. Is that you?

Bernadetta
volume_up

You, um. You didn't hear that just now, did you?

Bernadetta
volume_up

Oh! Forget you heard anything!

Bernadetta
volume_up

Right. You didn't? Well, um. Good.

Dorothea

Dorothea
volume_up

Laaa-la-laaa-la-laaa...

Dorothea
volume_up

Professor! Oh my! It's so good to see you.

Dorothea
volume_up

These days, so many old friends seem to be disappearing. But you... You're here!

Dorothea
volume_up

It's incredible to see you again after five years!

Dorothea
volume_up

I have a feeling your name will go down in history.

Petra

link
Petra
volume_up

Edelgard is controlling the Empire. She is putting the pressure on the Kingdom and Alliance.

Petra
volume_up

Empire and religion are at open war. It will be... difficult for us at first.

Petra
volume_up

But corrupt nobles are many. That means the common people will rebel and be joining our side.

Petra
volume_up

With you, Professor, the battle tides will...ah, will turn. I have certainty.

Felix

link
Felix
volume_up

Hello. I have a request concerning that...creature.

Felix
volume_up

I can hardly look at the thing in the state it's in. Do something about it.

Felix
volume_up

Please do.

Felix
volume_up

Don't just give up like that.

Felix
volume_up

Don't just give up like that.

Felix
volume_up

We tracked the boar for five years. I thought he was dead. In the state he's in, he might as well be.

Felix
volume_up

He's gotten better at killing people, and in exchange, surrendered what little humanity he had.

Ashe

Ashe
volume_up

Is...is Dedue really gone?

link
Ashe
volume_up

There's so much more I wanted to say to him.

link
Ashe
volume_up

He was always so tender with the flowers in the greenhouse. I wonder how they're doing...

link
Ashe
volume_up

Is...is Dedue really gone?

link
Ashe
volume_up

We were classmates, of course, but I never really had the chance to get to know him.

link
Ashe
volume_up

He was always so tender with the flowers in the greenhouse. I wonder how they're doing...

Sylvain

link
Sylvain
volume_up

Hey, Professor. It's been a while. It's really good to see you again.

Sylvain
volume_up

Hey, Professor. It's been a while. It's really good to see you again. Gorgeous as ever, might I add.

Sylvain
volume_up

An awful lot has happened in these past five years. There were so many times I wished you were around.

Sylvain
volume_up

I'm glad you're back. Your skills are worth more than a whole army.

Mercedes

link
Mercedes
volume_up

I finally managed to meet up with everyone again, but they're all so gloomy.

Mercedes
volume_up

Hey, Professor. Care to join me for a cup of tea? We could invite the others, and the soldiers.

Mercedes
volume_up

Doesn't it? There probably isn't time to bake any treats though...

Mercedes
volume_up

Don't be like that, Professor. When things are tough, that's exactly when we need to keep our spirits up and smile!

Mercedes
volume_up

Oh! I should invite Dimitri to come along as well.

Mercedes
volume_up

Though I don't suppose he'll want to join in...

Annette

link
Annette
volume_up

Now that I think about it, His Highness was right. We probably don't have time to waste on cleaning...

Annette
volume_up

Maybe I wasn't taking the situation seriously enough. After all, the Imperial army could be showing up at any time!

Annette
volume_up

I was just so happy to see you again. And everyone else too. Maybe I got carried away.

Annette
volume_up

Oh, really? That's so nice to hear!

Annette
volume_up

Well, I suppose Lady Rhea would be pretty shocked if she came back to find the place filthy!

Ingrid

link
Ingrid
volume_up

These past five years, many Kingdom houses have become vassals of the Empire.

Ingrid
volume_up

The major houses of Fraldarius, Gautier, Charon, and my own family, Galatea, remain loyal...

Ingrid
volume_up

But the lords of the minor domains in the west have almost entirely defected.

Ingrid
volume_up

After all the royal family has done for them, they respond with betrayal. And to think they have the gall to call themselves nobles.

Ingrid
volume_up

But we still have His Highness, and you, Professor. I'm sure we can take back the Kingdom's lands.

Raphael

link
Raphael
volume_up

The Alliance is such a mess. How are we supposed to know where's safe and where's not?

Raphael
volume_up

I should probably just move my little sis and grandpa to Garreg Mach.

Raphael
volume_up

At least I could keep working on becoming a proper knight without having to worry about them!

Raphael
volume_up

I gotta find them a house once things calm down a bit!

Ignatz

link
Ignatz
volume_up

Oh, Professor! Seeing everyone together again, it's like I'm in a dream.

Ignatz
volume_up

I feel it's time for me to forge my own path and find my own place in this world.

Ignatz
volume_up

Yes. They're in the Alliance, but they're merchants, so they have the means to escape if need be.

Ignatz
volume_up

I sent him a letter. I'm still waiting on a reply, but I don't think he'd object to my being here.

Ignatz
volume_up

It'll be valuable for him, having someone outside the Alliance to keep him abreast of new information.

Lysithea

link
Lysithea
volume_up

I should probably keep things to myself, but in all honesty...

Lysithea
volume_up

What matters to me, more than anything, is ensuring a peaceful, quiet future for my parents.

Lysithea
volume_up

I don't care about the Kingdom. I simply want to remove the threat of the Empire.

Lysithea
volume_up

Because of this, Dimitri's fixation on Edelgard is convenient to me.

Lysithea
volume_up

I fight for my own reasons and no others.

Marianne

link
Marianne
volume_up

Professor... Is there any reason for me to remain here?

Marianne
volume_up

I want to be useful of course, but I'm not sure anyone needs me.

Marianne
volume_up

That was my adoptive father's decision. He has decided there is no future in the Alliance...

Marianne
volume_up

If you really mean that, I will stay and do my best to help.

Hilda

link
Hilda
volume_up

Garreg Mach is a mess. So is Dimitri, honestly.

Hilda
volume_up

If not for you arriving, Professor, I'd be heading home about now.

Hilda
volume_up

Though staying here is still more appealing than living with my big brother.

Leonie

link
Leonie
volume_up

I'm so glad I found you here, Professor. Now I don't have to worry about what to do with myself.

Leonie
volume_up

Captain Jeralt told me to look out for you, after all.

Leonie
volume_up

So now my purpose is clear. I'll do everything I can to protect you!

Seteth

link
Seteth
volume_up

Five long years, I've searched for you and the archbishop. It is a pleasure to see you again.

Seteth
volume_up

The Church of Seiros will follow you from now on, but please do not abandon the search for Lady Rhea.

Seteth
volume_up

Thank you. I know the battles ahead will be dire, but we will support you with all our strength.

Seteth
volume_up

Wherever she is, Rhea is doubtlessly waiting for you. Please do not let her down.

Flayn

link
Flayn
volume_up

Professor, I am so glad you are unharmed!

Flayn
volume_up

No matter the path you walk, I will be with you every step of the way.

Flayn
volume_up

Anything you ask of me, I shall see it through. You saved my life, and I am in your debt.

Hanneman

link
Hanneman
volume_up

Thankfully, it appears the records and equipment I need for my research have not been damaged.

Hanneman
volume_up

I am most curious though. You say you were asleep for five whole years? Incredible.

Hanneman
volume_up

Perhaps this is another effect of your Crest. I do look forward to investigating you in greater detail.

Hanneman
volume_up

Wonderful news! I am most excited to begin. We must find the time, of course.

Hanneman
volume_up

I'll have to be content with observing you wherever you go, then. I cannot waste any opportunity!

Manuela

link
Manuela
volume_up

My, Professor. You haven't changed a bit!

Manuela
volume_up

At your age, I'd expect your whole demeanor to have changed greatly over five years...

Manuela
volume_up

Though I suppose I haven't changed either, right? Thank you for noticing, by the way.

Manuela
volume_up

Ah, just the two of us, forever young. Oh, let me have my fun.

Gilbert

link
Gilbert
volume_up

We have given a proper burial to the Imperial soldiers killed in the monastery. The ones who were sent to investigate the thieves.

Gilbert
volume_up

Already, rumors spread that they were utterly annihilated.

Gilbert
volume_up

So regardless of whether there are spies observing us, the Imperial army will know of this soon enough.

Gilbert
volume_up

Your Highness... Dimitri... How could you be so reckless?

Alois

link
Alois
volume_up

I'd given up on ever seeing you again. Where have you been hiding?

Alois
volume_up

Anyway, now that we're reunited in the land of the living, I must fulfill my promise!

Alois
volume_up

The promise I made to the captain, to keep you safe! I can't believe you've forgotten. How cold...

Alois
volume_up

That's right! I promised the captain I'd protect you in his stead, and now I'll make good on my word!

Catherine

link
Catherine
volume_up

In Lady Rhea's absence, I will follow you. That's what she would want me to do.

Catherine
volume_up

Know that wherever you might lead us, I'll continue searching for Lady Rhea.

Catherine
volume_up

Good, because I will not budge on that point. Welcome back, Professor.

Catherine
volume_up

I don't care how much trouble it is! I will rescue Lady Rhea, at all costs.

Shamir

link
Shamir
volume_up

I'm more of a mercenary than a knight these days. I work to get paid.

Shamir
volume_up

I never was too attached to Fódlan. I was considering leaving soon...

Shamir
volume_up

But I might change my mind if you're around.

Cyril

link
Cyril
volume_up

I don't know anything about rebuilding, but I can sure do my best to clean up the mess.

Cyril
volume_up

I'm gonna keep Lady Rhea's room spotless, so she can use it right away whenever she gets back.

Gatekeeper

link
Gatekeeper
volume_up

Greetings, Professor! Nothing to report!

Gatekeeper
volume_up

You know, it's such a thrill to be able to greet you like this again!

Gatekeeper
volume_up

I almost died as well in the battle five years ago, but I won't allow any enemies to get into this place again. I promise you that!

Gatekeeper
volume_up

Even if the Death Knight shows up, I'll be sure to... Well, for now I'll keep training so I can eventually feel confident that I can stop him!

Shifty Merchant

link
Shifty Merchant
volume_up

Things we can't obtain here are likely obtainable by way of the underground.

Shifty Merchant
volume_up

Are you unfamiliar with Garreg Mach's underground? The place is an absolute paradise for those who can't stay above ground.

Monk

link
Monk
volume_up

Those Abyssian idiots. All they ever do is cause trouble.

Monk
volume_up

We'd best purge the entire underbelly of Garreg Mach.

Knight of Seiros

link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

It seems that in the last five years, the monks here have left this place for the town below.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

However, once they learn of our return, perhaps they'll come back.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

I hope the monastery can return to normal some day...

Knight of Seiros

link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

During his search for Her Grace, the archbishop, Seteth has visited churches all across the land.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

It served to demonstrate to the devout across Fódlan that the Church of Seiros is still going strong.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

As a result, the faithful are not currently in a state of chaos.

Soldier

link
Soldier
volume_up

In the Alliance, the lords have been at odds, so peace and prosperity have declined there as well.

Soldier
volume_up

In particular, bandits have been appearing in large numbers near the Great Bridge of Myrddin.

Soldier
volume_up

Rumor has it that the domain's lord, someone by the name of Acheron, is a completely ineffectual leader...

Knight of Seiros

link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

During the millennium festival, the leaders of all territories were supposed to gather together and pledge perpetual peace.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

But now that hope has been dashed, thanks to the emperor's actions.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

The Alliance is also divided on the subject of the Empire, so internal conflicts are a regular occurrence.

Yuri

link Azure Moon
Yuri
volume_up

You've been snoozing awhile, so allow me to fill you in. There's a madman roaming Faerghus.

Yuri
volume_up

Imperial troops entering Kingdom settlements are destroyed seemingly overnight.

Yuri
volume_up

Townspeople on the front lines are terrified, and yet they simultaneously treat this as though he's some sort of hero blazing through the land.

Yuri
volume_up

Can't imagine their surprise when they realized it was their own prince.

Balthus

link Azure Moon
Balthus
volume_up

These past five years have been so chaotic, even the bounty hunters backed off. I kinda miss the chase.

Balthus
volume_up

I don't have family ties worth fighting for, so these muscles are up for grabs. Use me as you see fit, pal.

Balthus
volume_up

You're a smart one. Just point me at a problem and I'll smash it up for ya.

Balthus
volume_up

By that, you mean, "Thank you, Magnanimous King of Grappling!" Yeah? Well, you're welcome.

Balthus
volume_up

If you're worried my skills have dulled from disuse, think again. I've been fighting thieves to stay sharp.

Constance

link Azure Moon
Constance
volume_up

Ahaha! You have the look of someone relieved to see me.

Constance
volume_up

Before you ask, yes. My superior spellcraft is yours. It's your reward for waiting so patiently for me.

Constance
volume_up

I'm sure that you need me, and that is enough. I recommend that you accept my generous offer.

Constance
volume_up

Your quick acceptance of the truth is gratifying.

Constance
volume_up

But my assistance has a price. I expect you to aid me in fulfilling my dream of restoring House Nuvelle.

Hapi

link Azure Moon
Hapi
volume_up

You're back, finally! I've been waiting for so long.

Hapi
volume_up

I thought you might have died. But I didn't have anywhere else to go, so...I stayed here.

Hapi
volume_up

I'll think about forgiving you.

Hapi
volume_up

You're welcome. It wasn't easy.

Hapi
volume_up

I've been kinda lonely. As you might have noticed, we've lost a few people down here.

Anna

Hey, Professor. How's it going? Making lots of coin?

I'd love to catch up, but I'm super busy right now. Working. For money. You understand.

Anna

There's unrest everywhere these days. All of my fellow merchants seem to be endangered.

Anna
volume_up

I hope things go back to normal soon. People need more to smile about, aside from my great deals.

link
Anna
volume_up

Abyss? You're interested in that place, are you?

Anna
volume_up

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

Anna
volume_up

Some folks have made their home there. Obviously they all have their reasons and tales to tell.

Anna
volume_up

But only the most enterprising merchant would venture near it. My advice? Avoid going there yourself.

Abysskeeper

link Azure Moon
Abysskeeper
volume_up

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

Abysskeeper
volume_up

It's you. You're still alive! It's been five whole years, hasn't it? Time flies when you're standing guard.

Abysskeeper
volume_up

That's right. I've been here the whole time. Day in and day out. Not like I have anywhere else to be.

Abysskeeper
volume_up

Seems to me things are pretty tough up top, anyhow. These days, it's probably cozier down here than it is up there. How's that for a change of pace?

Rogue

Ah, I see. So you are Jeralt's child. You so resemble your mother.

Monk

I did indeed. I was acquainted with your parents. I've been wanting to speak with you for a while now.

Monk
volume_up

I am nothing more than a common monk. I knew your parents...once upon a time.

Monk
volume_up

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

Monk
volume_up

Might I...ask a favor of you?

Monk
volume_up

Do you mind terribly picking up some fresh flowers to place upon your mother's grave?

Monk
volume_up

I am certain she'd be deeply moved to receive a gift from you.

link
Monk
volume_up

Thank you so much. This is just the type of flower she once loved so dearly.

Monk
volume_up

I can rest easy now.

Monk
volume_up

I must be off. Take especially good care of yourself, won't you?

Monk
volume_up

Please, look after Jeralt. She'd have wanted that.
