''' | '''Zech:''' Zade, there's not another minute for debate if you are to reach Venecia alive. I shall hold the capital. Now take the princess and go. You'll find a carrack in Frall Harbor.<br> | ||

'''Zade:''' Zech, please...<br> | |||
'''Zech:''' There is no need. I shall be right on your heels. You and Princess | '''Garlan:''' Lord Zadrian, your courage has been noted, but the duke is right; when that ship departs, so do all hopes of delivering the princess to safety.<br> | ||
'''Zade:''' You too, Master Garlan? ::Sigh:: ...All right, Brother. As you command. But do not forget your promise. The princess believes you will see her again in Venecia. That you will not seek out any needless fights. ...It wasn't an empty promise?<br> | |||
'''Zade:''' Zech, | '''Zech:''' I meant every word. I would never deceive her.<br> | ||

''' | '''Zech:''' Well, are we in agreement or aren't we? Go, go! And keep your wits about you. Brigands and thieves own the roads, but they're only a threat if you let them be. I am sending you with what knights I can. Give heed to Master Garlan's counsel and don't poke your head in quarrels that aren't yours. I am placing the princess in your care for a reason, Zade. You are smart, capable... You can do this.<br> | ||
'''Zade:''' ......<br> | |||
'''Zade:''' You too, Master Garlan? ::Sigh:: | '''Garlan:''' Young lord, it is time to go. Knights, gather round! We march for Frall Harbor. No harm must befall Lord Zadrian or the princess en route.

'''Zech:''' I meant every word. I would never deceive her. | '''Bonacel:''' Put me in the van and stay close behind, and I swear no harm will befall you!<br> | ||
'''Prody:''' Wait, what?! Again, Bonacel? But you always get the van! ...Fine, I'll take the rearguard. It's more exciting anyway.<br> | |||
'''Zade:''' | '''Zech:''' Thank you, friends. Zade may be young and inexperienced, but his raw talent eclipses my own. With you at his side, there is no challenge he cannot surmount. Serve him well.<br> | ||

Introduction
Zech: Zade, there's not another minute for debate if you are to reach Venecia alive. I shall hold the capital. Now take the princess and go. You'll find a carrack in Frall Harbor.
Zade: You expect me to just sail away and leave you here to face the Imperial Army alone? Against those numbers? Never, Brother. I shall not flee like a coward. Let me stay. We can drive off those retches together!
Zech: There is no need. I shall be right on your heels. You and Princess Atholphis can wait for me in Venecia.
Zade: Zech, please...
Garlan: Lord Zadrian, your courage has been noted, but the duke is right; when that ship departs, so do all hopes of delivering the princess to safety.
Zade: You too, Master Garlan? ::Sigh:: ...All right, Brother. As you command. But do not forget your promise. The princess believes you will see her again in Venecia. That you will not seek out any needless fights. ...It wasn't an empty promise?
Zech: I meant every word. I would never deceive her.
Zade: ......
Zech: Well, are we in agreement or aren't we? Go, go! And keep your wits about you. Brigands and thieves own the roads, but they're only a threat if you let them be. I am sending you with what knights I can. Give heed to Master Garlan's counsel and don't poke your head in quarrels that aren't yours. I am placing the princess in your care for a reason, Zade. You are smart, capable... You can do this.
Zade: ......
Garlan: Young lord, it is time to go. Knights, gather round! We march for Frall Harbor. No harm must befall Lord Zadrian or the princess en route. Whatever lawless lickpennies attempt to bar our way must be dispatched swiftly and carefully.
Troy: Leave it to me. I will ride ahead and weed the wretches out.
Bonacel: Put me in the van and stay close behind, and I swear no harm will befall you!
Prody: Wait, what?! Again, Bonacel? But you always get the van! ...Fine, I'll take the rearguard. It's more exciting anyway.
Zech: Thank you, friends. Zade may be young and inexperienced, but his raw talent eclipses my own. With you at his side, there is no challenge he cannot surmount. Serve him well.
Troy: Yes, Your Grace. With my life.
Bonacel: We are his to command, just as we are yours!
Prody: He and the princess are safe with us!
Zade: ...... Well, Brother...until we meet again. Upon this sword Father gave me, I swear to see my duty through. May his strength live on in Edelstern's steel. ...Be safe, Zech.
During Battle
Start of Turn 1 Enemy Phase
Ruffian: Har! Did ya hear, coz? The empire cut the Meledian army to shreds. The sun's risin' on humble folk like you and me.
Ruffian with Sack of Coin: Yeah, I always knew those knights in their fancy armor was more glitter than guts. Think they's so much better'n us... Next time I see 'em, I'll bury me axe in each and every one of those cavalier dogs.
Ruffian: Well, I hear the royal family's on the run. Lookin' to leave the country. So if it's blood you're after, I reckon the road to the harbor's the best place to hunt.
Ruffian with Sack of Coin: Perfect! I'll rob 'em, then I'll hack 'em to bits, then I'll toss their carcasses into the sea... And then I'll laugh! Ha ha ha! Just like that, 'cept better.
Turn 1 Enemy Phase After a Pirate Reaches the Thoracian Carrack
Pirate: Heh heh... Easy pickin's.
Start of Turn 2 Enemy Phase
Thief: Heh heh... I am one lucky duck. Look at what I managed to lift this time! Whoever came up with "crime doesn't pay" obviously never tried it. Now I'm the proud owner of one jeweled knife, and ain't no one's going to take it from me!
Turn 2 Enemy Phase Before the Pirate Attacks the Thoracian Carrack
Thoracian Carrack: Damn... The pirates are upon us... Oi, ready the carrack! We sail now or perish!
Start of Turn 4 Enemy Phase
Girl: Grandpa, where are you going with that old sword?
Old Man: "Sword"? Pffah! This here is a cutlass! In my younger years, I used this baby to hack through all manner of brigand. And I'll do it again!
Girl: What? B-but Grandpa! The only hacking I've seen you do is the kind followed by wheezing. If you go out there, they'll kill you. You can't just leave me to fend for myself! Stay here where it's safe... D-don't go...::sniff:: Please...
Old Man: Oh all right... There, there. I'll stay here if you want me to... I promise. But if someone doesn't stand up and fight, it's only a matter of time before we're all lost...
Start of Turn 5 Player Phase
(Venecian Carrack Leaves)
Captain: Oh hells... nothing's stopping the pirates now. Frall Harbor's done for; it's only a matter of time. I'll stay and wait as long as I can. But his "lordship" better hurry if he doesn't want to be a "lord with NO ship".
Start of Turn 10 Player Phase (If Thoracian Carrack is not Destroyed)
(Thoracian Carrack Leaves)
Garlan: Young lord, once we have reached the harbor, the carrack for Venecia will set sail. We can arrive at the signpost by the harbor in any order, but arriving means leaving the battle. Take care not to leave the princess unguarded. We must be quick. If the pirates destroy our carrack before we reach it, then all hope is lost.
Arriving at Frall Harbor
Zade: The harbor... I made it. I hope Zech is safe...
Troy: My work here is done. We'll rendezvous at the wharf!
Bonacel: Good, I'm not too late. I'll run on ahead!
If Thoracian Carrack is Destroyed
Thoracian Carrack: No... Abandon ship! Abandon ship! AAAAAAH!
If Frallian Carrack is Attacked
Frallian Carrack: Oh no... Here they come! These sea dogs'll reduce my ship to timbers if the knights don't shake a leg.
Houses and Villages
First House from Top
Youth: The king's a blind old fool. Meleda may be a large kingdom by Vestarian standards, but to the Empire we're just a pile of dirt in the sea. They control the whole mainland! They should have seen we had no chance. Couldn't even keep his dukes in check... If the duke of Frist hadn't set fire to that stupid vessel, we wouldn't have this stupid war. No one thinks of the consequences. No one thinks of us. Now get out of my way! Time's running out if we hope to escape here alive.
| Obtained 100 denari! |

Second House from Top
Old Man: The imperial commander, Legate Ajax, is said to be one of the Empire's finest. Fierce as the god Armes on the battlefield, and yet as gentle as Clanya's mercy to the peoples he has subjugated. So while I mourn our king, the princes, and the late duke for so bravely leading our forces, I... ::Sigh:: I can't help but think they died for naught. They should have surrendered to Ajax.
| Obtained 100 denari! |
|---|
Third House from Top
Housewife: So much for the great Vestarian Alliance... Meleda pled with the other member-states to send troops, supplies, anything... But the moment the empire arrived at our shores, the accord was no better than a worthless piece of paper. The cowards all vanished back to their countries faster than a fart in the wind. We may be one island, but we're clearly not one people. Always knew it, I s'pose...
| Obtained 100 denari! |
|---|
Fourth House from Top
Town Girl: I can't imagine Princess Atholphis's pain... The queen's illness and death are still fresh in all our minds, and now this war... She's lost her father, two brothers... it must have been devastating. The only one she has left is Duke Zecharias, her betrothed. But duty prevents him from abandoning the palace... Another tragedy just waiting to happen. All I can do is cower here and offer her my prayers...
| Obtained 100 denari! |
|---|
(If Athol visits) Town Girl: Princess Atholphis?! Beg pardon, Your Highness, but why are you here? It's not safe! ...I see. You mean to escape by ship. Good, the news gladdens me. So long as you're safe, then Meleda has a future too. Promise me you'll stay free from harm. Please!
Left-fifth House from Top
Youth: You would think the templars from Lanna Sanctum would march south and save our sorry hides, but ohhh no. Vesta teaches them they must not interfere with the "mundane struggles of mankind". Pfft, right... What about the mundane struggles of one of their own? Princess Atholphis is their Starmaiden. They could at least save her! If she dies, it will be too late for any of us!
| Obtained 100 denari! |
|---|
(If Athol visits) Youth: Ugh, the least the templars from Lanna Sanctum could do is march south and save our sorry hides. Wouldn't you agree? ...Wait, don't I know you from somewhere? Eh, whatever. Probably just my imagination.
Right-fifth House from Top
Youth: When a house is open to you, you should visit it. We don't mind! Usually! We're here to provide information and sometimes even part with our coin and prized possessions. ...Honestly! We don't mind! But if you don't reach us in time, brigands and thieves may wreck our homes. That part we mind. So if you're going to make a social call, be quick. Actually, you WERE rather quick, so here. Have some coin!
| Obtained 100 denari! |
|---|
Sixth House from Top
Girl: Have you seen the pretty rings of color surrounding the shadows of each unit? A shadow with a blue ring means the unit is on your side. Red rings are enemies. And green rings are NPC allies. ..."What's an NPC?" Gosh, I don't know! Grandpa gave me a script, and I'm followin' it!
| Obtained 100 denari! |
|---|
Seventh House from Top
Old Man: I've already broken three walls today, so I ought to know better...but I have something random and exceedingly important to tell you. In this "game", you can "save" every 5 turns. A warning will "pop up" when the time comes, so don't miss your chance. Aaaaaand...damn. There goes the fourth wall.
| Obtained 100 denari! |
|---|
Seventh House from Bottom
Youth: Open up the Map Menu and you'll notice a selection labeled View Objectives. You should take a look at this before each fight. ...You know, 'cause the conditions for victory and defeat vary from battle to battle. Don't be the commander caught with his pants down.
| Obtained 100 denari! |
|---|
Sixth House from Bottom
Youth: I'm told of arcane devices called "USB gamepads" that can be inserted into your "peecee" to increase your pleasure. Sounds a wee bit too scandalous for me... but hey, it's your peecee and you can play with it any way you like.
| Obtained 100 denari! |
|---|
Village
Old Man: Brigand! Rascal! So you've finally come to invade our village! Well, prepare to be hacked upon! ...Hmm? You're no brigand. No, you're a true Meledian. Hmm... this can only be destiny. Here. This cutlass was a bosom friend when I was your age. It's a fine weapon-light, so you'll be able to land two blows at a time. May it help you restore Meleda to glory. I love my kingdom...always have. And I won't stand by and watch it destroyed.
| Obtained item: Cutlass! |

Events
Zade and Athol
Athol: Please, my lord. We cannot just leave him behind!
Zade: Peace, Your Highness. Zech said he would meet us in Venecia, but we must first reach it ourselves. Will you lend us your staff?
Athol: ...Y-yes, of course.
Zade and Troy
Troy: Stay close to the princess, my lord. We shall deal with any rabble that present trouble.
Zade: Wait, Sir Troy... My brother told me about you. They call you the "Winds of Troy", don't they? The songs are many, for so young a knight. I have much to learn from you, if you would teach me.
Troy: Of course. My sword was yours even before the duke pledged it. Warrior, teacher... I am whatever you bid me be.
Bonacel and Prody
Bonacel: Oi. Why the grimace, Prody? Armor strapped on too tight?
Prody: Heh... Very droll. You don't have any reservations about the general's brother taking command? He's never seen battle before.
Bonacel: I trust General Zecharias. If he says the boy's raw talent outstrips his inexperience, then that's enough for me.
Prody: But you must agree we belong at the general's side, defending the capital? Not babysitting some novice who's never even bloodied his sword?
Bonacel: Enough, Prody. I understand your reservations, but orders are orders. Stop wagging your tongue as if you're so important. If you're that fine a soldier, then you can do your job and keep Lord Zadrian and the princess safe.
Prody: Oh... ::cough:: Right. Sorry.
