Beginning log

The information gathered at Palmeni Temple leads Ike ever closer to the hidden truths behind the war. The assassination of Begnion's former apostle led to the massacre of Serenes. A Serenes princess was kidnapped. The medallion is stolen. A complex skein seemed to connect these events, and now those threads have become clearer and cleaner. Ashnard's motives are still a mystery, but his silhouette lurks in the shadows of all that happens. Ike returns from the temple and renounces all rights to the rule of Daein. Those rights are then passed through General Zelgius of Begnion to the apostle herself. The Crimean army absorbs another troop from Begnion, and with its might increased, marches on the Daein/Crimean border. Its next goal is the Riven Bridge, a massive structure that connects the two countries.

Trivia

  • This map reappears in Radiant Dawn as the eleventh chapter of Part 3, Just Cause. However, the player's army is instead on the left side while the enemy's army is on the right.
    • Despite being the same location, the location name of this chapter is inconsistent with the Radiant Dawn chapter. In Path of Radiance, this location is called "Riven Bridge". In Radiant Dawn, this location is called "Oribes Bridge" which is its Japanese name.
