Plot
- Main article:
Blood of Pride/Script
Lyn has finally arrived in Lycia and stops in Araphen to request supplies from the marquess of the region. However, before they can receive the promised aid of Marquess Araphen that Kent arranged for, the castle is set ablaze by the mercenaries sent by Lundgren. Lyn is caught off guard by one of the mercenaries but is saved just in time by Rath, a member of the castle guard. Despite Rath’s insistence that Lyn flee, Lyn insists on fighting alongside him since she is the reason why the mercenaries are attacking the castle. Rath reveals that there is a secret tunnel that leads to the castle that if opened will enable him and his men to ensure the marquess’s safety in a timely manner. Lyn quickly realizes that she has no keys or a thief, preventing her from opening the doors to the rooms where the triggers for the secret passage are located. Fortunately, Lyn finds Matthew in a nearby house, a thief willing to lend his services.
After defeating Bool and opening the secret passage, Rath and his troops manage to suppress the mercenaries. Marquess Araphen requests a meeting with Lyn and her group where he informs them that he is rescinding his previous offer of supplies due to the annoyance he feels with being caught in Caelin’s inheritance dispute. Additionally, Marquess Araphen claims that he does not feel comfortable lending aid to one "tainted" with the blood of Sacae. Marquess Araphen also does not want to sour his relationship with Lundgren, who he believes will succeed in becoming the next Marquess of Caelin. Lyn refuses to beg for aid from a man who disparages her lineage so freely and takes her leave of the marquess. After Lyn departs, Marquess Araphen rants to himself that he would have lent Lyn the aid he promised had she merely shed a few tears and acted more humble. Rath confronts Marquess Araphen on his treatment of Lyn and his comments about the Sacaens. Araphen insists he is proud of Rath's work and that his comments do not apply to him. Rath accuses the Marquess of only reserving his judgments of Sacaens when they act excessively humble to the point of self-deprecation in his presence. The Marquess balks at Rath's claim, but the Nomad announces his resignation before he can manage a proper response, and leaves Araphen to assist Lyn on her journey.
Beginning log
At long last, Lyn arrives in the land of her mother's birth. Lycia is a federation of territories, each one ruled by powerful marquess. Now, Lyn takes her leave of one of these territories, Araphen and sets out to meet her grandfather, the marquess of Caelin. However, the marquess's brother, Lundgren, hungers to rule Caelin. He is preparing a deadly welcome for Lyn, who stands to threaten his grasp for power.

Strategy
Augury | |
---|---|
This chapter has no augury. Hannah will offer her services beginning in Chapter 14. |
This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody. |
On normal mode, the player is given a forced tutorial. On the first turn, the game will force you to visit the house where you can recruit Matthew, a Thief. Afterwards, the game will give a brief tutorial of how thieves and locked rooms work by forcing the player to open the nearest door with Matthew. Opening the door will reveal one of the three triggers that a unit must wait on top of to clear the chapter. Rath will be forced to activate the trigger, which causes a pathway that contains a single Soldier and a chest to be revealed. At the start of turn 2, Matthew will notice a chest and tell the tactician to move him to it so that he can steal it. The chest contains an Angelic Robe which the player should use before the end of Lyn’s tale or it will disappear. Matthew will suggest you use it on someone with poor defenses like himself, however, you should give it to someone who will see more combat like Sain, Kent, or Florina. After this point the player will be free to approach the chapter how they see fit.
There is a trigger in the room to the south. Pick up the Door Key from the Village on the first turn with one of the mounted units so they can use Canto to move closer to the locked door. Take out the Soldier guarding the door with the units who did not grab the door key, open the door, then activate the trigger. It is worth noting that you do not have to "wait" on the triggers to set them off; If you move a mounted unit on top of the triggers and then use a Vulnerary, trade, or rescue/drop a unit while on top of the trigger, that unit will activate the trigger and then, using Canto, they can move away from the tile.
The boss will be revealed once the second trigger is activated. He will be between the locked room with the Armorslayer in it and the room with the first trigger. Make sure to move Erk towards this location. The soldier guarding the room with the Armorslayer does not move, making him very easy to approach and take out.
The best unit to take out Bool is Erk on account of the boss’s zero resistance and lack of 1-2 range weapons. Erk at base can inflict twenty damage in a single round of combat to Bool. After attacking with Erk, Lyn can get the kill with the Mani Katti or one of the Cavaliers can with a lance or the Armorslayer.
The strategies displayed in the tutorials on Normal mode are not always the most efficient ways to clear a chapter; however, this chapter is an exception. The player should still recruit Matthew on the first turn, use Matthew to open the nearest door then have Rath stand on the first trigger.
Trivia
- The Marquess of Araphen shares his base portrait with Aion, the boss of Chapter 18xE/19xH, though Aion is recolored.
- The beginning log of this chapter makes it sound like Lyn is leaving Araphen, even though she is actually entering it. This is an error that only exists in the localisation, as in the Japanese version the text only states she is in Araphen and is going to travel further from it in the future.
