To War
Opening Narration 
|
| “ | Together, the people of Fódlan relish the beauty of the brilliant moon overhead as another year ends. They recall sad partings and new acquaintances alike, but each person must still walk their chosen path alone. With each day, the presence of spring grows stronger and yet a lone moon still haunts the sky. A silent reminder, perhaps, of some inescapable truth... | ” | — Chapter 12 opening narration |

(Rhea, along along with Byleth and Seteth, talk about the recent news...)
Rhea: Unforgivable! I cannot believe that the Adrestian Empire would embark on such a violent course of action.
Seteth: The fault is my own. I failed to see the wickedness within Edelgard's heart.
| Choice 1 | Choice 2 |
|---|---|
| Is she wicked? | What is her objective? |
| Seteth: She plotted with ill-meaning strangers to achieve her own ambitions and defiled the Holy Tomb. If that is not wicked, what is? | Seteth: There is no question on that front. She clearly wishes to conquer all of Fódlan. And in order to achieve her own selfish ambitions, she plotted with ill-meaning strangers and defiled the Holy Tomb. |
Seteth: Or perhaps her ambitions are even grander than we know. Perhaps she is planning to make herself a false deity by demonizing the Church of Seiros...
Rhea: Adrestia received its very name through a divine oracle. To injure the goddess is a sin most foul that shall not be forgiven nor forgotten. We must stop the Empire...and quickly.
(Shamir arrives. She bear news.)
Shamir: I have returned, Rhea.
Rhea: Welcome back, Shamir. Were you able to discern the Empire's movements?
Shamir: Their main troops are marching towards Garreg Mach. It is said that they will join forces with Edelgard's army and arrive within two weeks.
Seteth: Two weeks? That is not enough time! It will require all of our efforts just to prepare our defenses before then. We must send notice to all surrounding villages at once. We must order the residents of Garreg Mach to flee for their lives.
Seteth: It will be done.
(Shamir leaves.)
Rhea: ...Professor...listen closely. If our enemy invades the monastery, I will have no choice but to stand upon the battlefield. If something happens to me...I am entrusting my sacred duties to you.
| Choice 1 | Choice 2 |
|---|---|
| Why me? | Sacred duties? |
Rhea:You must have guessed it by now. The truth of who you are. Or perhaps I should say, your lost memories are surely beginning to return. I have acted all these long years as a mere proxy for you. But the duty is yours and yours alone. Only you can lead the people of Fódlan.
(Byleth nods, then leaves...)
Seteth: ...Rhea, please. You must tell me all that you know. I beg of you.
Rhea: ...
Seteth: That one...is the progenitor god. Am I correct?
Rhea: In a sense. Our dear professor is...a vessel. One who carries the power of the progenitor god within. In time, the vessel will become one with the power contained within, and the progenitor god shall return to this world.
Seteth: I see. I trust that you are aware of the questionable nature of this experiment? But I suppose there is no turning back...
Rhea: I ask that you help our friend...and in doing so, help her. I am waiting and hoping for the moment when our creator rules this wayward land once more.
If Byleth & Seteth's C-Support has been seen Otherwise
Seteth: I understand. As ever, I will take you at your word.
(Flayn suddenly reveals herself on the room.)
Flayn: Brother... I believe in my professor. I wish to help. No matter the cost.
Seteth: Flayn! Were you eavesdropping? Regardless, I am glad to hear it. You owe your life to the professor, after all. And in the end, they may prove to be our brethren.
Rhea: You have my gratitude, Seteth. And you as well, Flayn. As followers of the progenitor god, it is up to us to see our mission through.

Event - To War
- Date: 3/29
| Reception Hall Afternoon |
|---|
(Alois and Byleth stand before the Golden Deers and Flayn.)
Alois: Listen up, everyone! The Imperial army is upon us. If you can fight, pick up a weapon! Everyone else, hurry up and evacuate! We have the goddess's protection on our side. We have nothing to fear. Victory will be ours!
(Catherine arrives and joins them.)
Catherine: Professor, are you ready?
| Almost. |
Catherine: Well, hurry up. I don't need to tell you that the situation is dire. We have some support troops from the local nobles, but the army we're facing is immense. No matter how you look at it, we're at a disadvantage. To make matters worse, the enemy is being led by Edelgard. Do not underestimate how extraordinary her abilities are.
Hilda: She's back already? Talk about impatient!
Claude: If we don't stop them, the academy will be destroyed. Prepare for battle, everyone!
Lysithea: We will stop Edelgard's rampage!
Ignatz: Our opponent is formidable, but if we work together, we will not fail.
Raphael: Enough talking! Let's go!
Marianne: Dear Goddess... Please, protect us all...
Flayn: I shall fight with all that I have. It is an honor to fight alongside each of you!
Hilda: Professor, Claude... You'll lead the way, won't you? You won't let any of us fall, right?
(Everyone leaves to take their positions, sans for Byleth and Claude...)
(Claude speaks.)
Claude: I wanted to talk to Rhea first, but as expected, that won't be possible.
Claude: What did she hope to accomplish at the Holy Tomb? What happened to you as a baby? There are still so many things I need to know. The same goes for the real origin of the Crest Stones and the Heroes' Relics. As for Seiros and Nemesis...just how much of their mythology is true?
| We know so little. |
Claude: It's true. But lucky for me, I refuse to die with so much still unknown.
Claude: Hey, Teach... All joking aside. Can we possibly survive this battle?
| Choice 1 | Choice 2 |
|---|---|
| We'll find a way. | I don't know. |
| Claude: That's all we can do, right? If we gave up, the god of fate wouldn't be happy. | Claude: Hey, now! I wasn't really looking for an honest answer. Honesty is bad for morale, Teach. You'd better cut that out. |
Claude: I'm a lot of things, but I'm not the kind of man to just roll over and die in a place like this. I have my own ambitions to see to. There are things...dreams...that I must see come to fruition. And I've been thinking. I want you to see those dreams realized as well.
Claude: On top of all that, there are still so many secrets out there, just waiting to be uncovered. We can't let that stand, can we?
Claude: So, Teach... No, scratch that. You're so much more. You're my ally and my friend.
Claude: Teach... Friend... None of those words quite capture what you've come to mean to me. We may not be connected by blood, but I believe our bond goes deeper than that. Now that we know each other, our hearts are connected.
Claude: Even if our paths diverge and we're forced to say good-bye... I know that we'll meet again.
Claude: And so, for lack of a better word, I gratefully call you my friend, and I hold fast to the belief that this isn't it for us. No matter who or what you really are, I'll always be on your side.
Claude: You can't count on much in this world, but you can count on that.
Battle: The Battle of Garreg Mach
- Date: 3/31
| Monastery (Outer Wall) |
|---|
Before Battle
Knight of Seiros: I have a report! The enemy is within the walls. They're about to break the defensive line!
Claude: We have two priorities for this battle. Protect the archbishop, and maintain the defensive line! Reinforcements should arrive soon, so just hold your ground until then!
Player Phase 1
Knight of Seiros: Report! The enemy has taken the entrances where the reinforcements were heading!
Claude: So long as we can recapture the east and west strongholds, we might be able to call in the reinforcements...
After Hubert Falls (if Shamir wasn't recruited)
Shamir: I brought reinforcements. I'll send them to the front line.
After the Death Knight Falls (if Catherine wasn't recruited)
Catherine: I'm here, and I've brought reinforcements! Don't worry—we'll protect the monastery.
One Stronghold has been Recovered
Claude: We took back one of the strongholds. On to the next...
Both Stronghold has been Recovered
Claude: All right, we took back both of the strongholds. Let's keep up the momentum!
If the Enemy Reaches the Marked Tiles
Claude: Damn it... The monastery has fallen into the hands of our enemy. We failed.

Movie - Descent
|
Byleth & Rhea watch the battle at the top of a cliff near the monastery. They see in the distance, right past the outer walls of Garreg Mach, a large amount of Imperial soldiers marching in unison.
Byleth looks on. Determined to stop the army, they prepare to unsheathe their sword.
Rhea grabs their shoulder and stops them. She walks in front of them, determined to be the one to stop the soldiers. Rhea looks back at Byleth and speaks.
Rhea: Everyone here, young and old, is in your hands.
Byleth relunctantly hides their sword, nods, and leaves to support the others.
Rhea now stands alone on the cliff.
Rhea: No. I will not allow another Red Canyon tragedy to happen here.
A green light envelops Rhea. It is possible to see the pupils in her eyes sharpen as it happens...
The light bursts, revealing now a giant white dragon where Rhea once stood now flies towards the upcoming army.
It's the Immaculate One.
As Claude and Dimitri fight enemy soldiers, the former notices the creature in the sky.
Claude: What is going on?
Byleth is seen guiding a group of students running away from the monastery.
As this happens, The Immaculate One lands and startles some Adrestian soldiers, now fleeing from the dragon.
The Immaculate One proceeds to unleash a breath attack which disintegrates some enemy soldiers and destroys part of the town, crumbling many houses in the process. It seems the dragon might be able to drive the enemy back.
As some Empire soldiers watch the battle unfold, one of the them notice something coming for their aid...
Empire Soldier: What now?
Four Demonic Beasts, shielded by Human-faced masks, are charging between the Imperial army, launching themselves straight at the Immaculate One.
The monsters pounce on the dragon, and while it seems the white dragon might emerge victorious, the demonic beasts eventually overwhelm it, making it crash towards a wall.
Byleth notices from afar what's happening and runs as fast they can while they unsheathe their sword, ready to aid the Immaculate One.
Byleth launches an attack on one of the Demonic Beast's masks, destroying it. This weakens it enough that the dragon is able to knock them all down.
One of them is launched towads a nearby canyon. The others crash into a wall and are crushed by the falling debris which the Immaculate One barely escapes.
Byleth and the dragon then reunite. The creature stands like a human. Suddenly, a familiar voice comes out from it.
It's Rhea's.
Immaculate One: Why did you come?
Byleth then notices someone's watching them. In a nearby hill, Thales and his soldiers can be seen staring.
Thales smirks confidently as an orb of Dark Magic forms in his hands, and is then launched at Byleth with all of his strength.
Byleth attempts to destroy it with their sword, only to be launched to the same canyon the previous monster had just fallen. As they arrive the ground's edge, it explodes.
Rhea attempts to save them but she notices two Demonic Beasts are holding her tail.
As Byleth falls to the depths of the canyon, both them and Rhea scream.
Everything fades to black.
Ending Narration
| “ | In Imperial Year 1181, the New Adrestian Emperor, Edelgard von Hresvelg, led a strategic assault against the monastery at Garreg Mach. Though her own losses were great, her foes had no choice but to surrender. Archbishop Rhea commanded the Knights of Seiros, leading from the front lines against the Imperial Army. But amidst the chaos of battle, she vanished, and her whereabouts remain unknown. With this single attack, the Adrestian Empire officially launched its offensive against the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and the Leicester Alliance. The unification of Fódlan has begun. |
