Rite of Rising

Rhea, Alois, Rhea enter the scene

Excuse me! Sorry to intrude!
link
Alois
volume_up

Please, forgive the disruption, Lady Rhea, but I have that report you asked for.
link
Rhea
volume_up

Do not worry yourself, Alois. As it happens, I am presently unoccupied. Please, go on.
link
Alois
volume_up

Ah, great! I'll just... Huh? What's that book you've got there?
link
Rhea
volume_up

It is a chronicle covering the 995 years since Garreg Mach Monastery's completion.
link
Alois
volume_up

Huh! Sounds like a good read.
link
Rhea
volume_up

Maintaining the church's records is one of the duties entrusted to all archbishops, myself included.
link
Rhea

This one states that Saint Seiros ordered the monastery's construction after the end of the War of Heroes.
link
Rhea
volume_up

This is a rare and valuable text. Most documents of that era have been lost to time.
link
Alois
volume_up

I see, I see... Time aside, we also lost many books in that massive fire 21 years ago...
link
Rhea
volume_up

Indeed. What was once well documented exists now only in this chronicle.
link
Rhea
volume_up

Not least of which is the ceremony commemorating the monastery's completion.
link
Alois
volume_up

Interesting! I'll admit, I know the year it took place but not a thing beyond that.
link
Rhea
volume_up

That is to be expected, unfortunately.
link
Rhea
volume_up

According to this chronicle, the Rite of Rising was held during the ceremony. The intent was to bring about the goddess's rebirth.
link
Alois
volume_up

The Rite of Rising, eh? Hm, can't say I've ever heard of that one.
link
Rhea
volume_up

I am not surprised. There should be countless records documenting that important ritual.
link
Rhea
volume_up

Alas... Today, all we have to go on are fragments of forgotten memories and our own imaginations.
link
Rhea
volume_up

One thing is clear... Their wish for the goddess's return was most fervent.
link
Rhea
volume_up

Saint Seiros held the ritual along with the Four Apostles: Noa, Chevalier, Timotheos, and Aubin.
link
Rhea
volume_up

However, it did not bear fruit, as the goddess did not return to this world... So it is written.
link
Alois
volume_up

I've never heard of the Four Apostles before. They're different from the Four Saints, right?
link
Rhea
volume_up

That is correct. Today, almost no records exist of the Four Apostles.
link
Rhea
volume_up

Their names live on only in the names of their Crests, but the bloodlines bearing those tokens of the past have been lost.
link
Rhea
volume_up

Any deeper knowledge of the apostles has all but disappeared from the grand stage of history.
link
Alois
volume_up

Well, that's interesting. Does that mean they're somewhere...backstage?
link
Rhea
volume_up

In a sense. It is possible that their bloodlines have carried on in secret, perhaps materializing where no one thought to look.
link
Rhea
volume_up

I had not intended to indulge in such a long-winded lecture.
link
Rhea
volume_up

Please, tell me your report, Alois. It concerns the underground, does it not?
link
Alois
volume_up

Oh, right! It's as you suspected. Recently, there have been several incidents in the area beneath Garreg Mach...
