INTRODUCTION
==============================================================================
Greetings, and thanks for checking out my Character Support FAQ for Fire
Emblem. This is my VERY FIRST submission to GameFAQS and I hope you will at
the very least find this guide slightly entertaining.
This FAQ will eventually(I hope) include the many support conversations
found in Fire Emblem, and I will add a few of my own comments on what I think
of the conversation.
For those who don't know what a support conversation is well I will try
and explain it to you. In the game almost every character has special or
secret conversations with other characters, these can be discussions on topics
such as past events, what they think of each other, or even what they had for
breakfast. In order to get the support conversations or SC's as I will refer
to them as you must put two characters that you wish to have a SC together
adjacent to one another and leave them there for a certain amount of turns.
The amount of turns it exactly takes varies from person to person and after the
required amount of turns together has passed a new option will appear on the
characters action menu called "Support", simply pushing this will begin a SC
with another character. You can check the status of your SC's by going into
the menu screen and entering the "Unit" screen, from here simply move to the
farthest left screen titled "Support Chance" and you will see a layout similar
to this:
Name Ally
==============================================================================
Eliwood Hector --- ---
Hector Eliwood Serra ---
Guy --- --- ---
Dorcas --- --- ---
Bartre --- --- ---
Rebecca Lowen --- ---
Serra Hector Matthew ---
==============================================================================
What all this means is that Eliwood can have a SC with Hector, and thus
Hector can in turn have one with Eliwood. Hector can also have a SC with
Serra, and so on. There are 3 levels of SC for each character that can get
SC's with one another(does that make sense?) OK so Hector and Eliwood can have
a total of 3 SC's with each other level "C", "B", and "A", but another
limitation is that each character can only have a total of 5 SC's in one game
meaning that if you wanted to see all 3 of Eliwood and Hectors chats but you
also wanted to see all of Hector and Serras conversations then you would be out
of luck since you can only get 5 total SC's in one play through. You could get
2 of Eliwood/Hector and 3 of Serra/Hector, or 2 of Serra/Hector and 3 of
Eliwood/Hector but not the total 3 for each. Seeing as how some characters can
hace conversations with 5 or more characters, you will obviously have to replay
this game a lot if you want them all.
OK, hopefully that cleared up a little bit and I hope I will be able to
at least try to get all of the conversations, even if it will take awhile.

VERSION HISTORY
==============================================================================
Version 0.00: Started the guide (November 7, 2003)
Version 0.10: Added a mess of conversations (November 10, 2003)
Version 0.15: Completed Eliwood's section, added a few more conversations,
updated the character list, and added a new section: Credits.
(November 15, 2003)
Version 0.20: Completed Hector's section, Completed Lyn's section,
completed the character list. (November 18, 2003)
Version 0.25: Completed Karla's section, Completed Priscilla's section with
some major help from Paul. Worked on a few random Convos here
and there.
(November 22, 2003)
Version 0.55: Fixed an error where I had Farina listed twice in the character
list instead of Fiora.
Another one where I had exempted Ninian from the character list.
Fixed typing error of Legault as Lenault in Matthew's
Conversation list.
Fixed error where Geitz was listed with a conversation with
Farina instead of Fiora.
Completed Matthew's, Dorcas's, Ninian's and Jaffar's sections.
Added a "*" next to the pairing I have completed.
(November 29, 2003)
Version 0.60: It has been one whole month since I started this FAQ, I don't
know if this is where I expected it to be or not, but, with a
lot of work, and help, here it is... I am aiming at Christmas
for the date when I have all of he conversations completed. I
will work on a new layout after that, I already have one in
mind... Anyways still a lot of work to go...
Completed Merlinus's, Farina's, and Renault's sections.
(December 7, 2003)
Version 0.65: Sorry for the lack of an update, I had Finals this past week,
now I'm free, Hazaa!
Completed Vaida's and Nino's section. Removed the B from Guy
and Louise's conversation since they can only get as far as B
anyway, it is now a plain *.
(December 13, 2003)
Version 0.70: Trying to pile on the conversations, it may look like there is
a lot left to go by looking at the empty spots next to the name
but for each conversation I get done two stars get put in.
Not so sure about a Christmas release but ya never know...
Completed Harken's, Karel's, and Louise's sections. Got a few
random ones poked in here and there...
(December 18, 2003)
Version 0.75: Oh well... Looks like I'm out of time for that Christmas release,
sorry about that, with everything going on during the holidays I
never had the chance to really go at it.
Completed Pent's, Hawkeye's, Marcus's, and Wallace's sections.
(December 28, 2003)
Version 0.76: Here we go, I don't think I have this listed in my FAQ but if
some of you are having problems getting the support conversations
it might be that you are trying to get them during Lyndis's story
since the context of most of the conversations have to do with
events one year after Lyndis's story, it is understandable why
you cannot access them until you are in control as Eliwood as
your main character. Sorry no conversations this time I've been
busy. I'm getting close to having them all though...
Oh! I added a couple Frequently asked questions...
(Jan 5, 2004)
Version 0.85: starting to fill in the missing conversations from the specific
characters lists, thanks to friends sending in their own convos
to add to mine.
Hmm, a nice few sections are done now... lets see...
Completed Rebecca's, Bartre's, Raven's, Florina's, Erk's, and
Canas's sections. I might have said someone who I already did
or I might of missed out someone... just look through the
characters if your not sure who is done.
(January 15, 2004)
Version 0.86: Added Wil and Rath's conversation pairing, thanks to Tracy Smith.
With that I have completed another section... ...... ...Rath's!
sorry, I had to scroll down to see which one it was I had
finished.
I've decided that the rnking thing needs a bit of fine tuning,
as you all may have noticed I have left those blank for the most
part. It is just the way it is set up where conversations with
no comedy, but indeed are very interesting and great, get a poor
rating because of the way it is set up, so for conversations with
no comedy I will replace COMEDIC VALUE with INTEREST LEVEL...
I guess that makes it fair... ...... Writing all these
conversations has put me in the habit of putting ...'s in places
where I would normally put a comma... ... ...... anyways, I have
very few left to do and I hope to have them done this week,
cause I am moving after that and I doubt I'll be able to work on
this in awhile since I won't have access to a computer. Again
if this is the last update in a while, which I hope it won't be,
thanks a lot to everyone for reading my FAQ, and a special thanks
to those who have given me any kind of help at all, wheter it be
sending me conversations to add, or just plain saying keep up the
good work.
(January 19, 2004)
Version 0.90: This is my final update...
Completed Serra's, Lucius's, Dart's, and Wil's Sections...
This is it. I'm leaving tommorow, this is as far as my FAQ goes
I'm afraid... When I get access to a computer I will try and
finish it up. Until then...
Version 0.95: Hey I got a chance to update the FAQ so here it is, this should
now contain all the conversations in the game;
Support conversations anyways...
Uh I might update a bit later just to clean the errors and
mistakes undoubtedly rampant throughout this FAQ.
I'll probably add stuff like the bonuses the supports give to
characters stats and of course which supports result in endings
On another note I haven't checked all my mail to see who I owe
credit too so if your name is not in the credits just mail me
and if I remember you :P I'll put ya in. Just be sure to tell me
what ya want to be credit as in my FAQ.
Version 0.96: Back from the grave! I decided to add a conversation code to help
search for specific conversations. Just hit the Ctrl+F combo and
type in the conversation code, and away you go. Also picked up
on a few typos...
Version 0.97: Back again with another update! this time I just added a section
about Pent and Louise, and basically which levels unlock their
conversations. See you next update.
==============================================================================
CHARACTER LIST
==============================================================================
The following is a character list and how many people they can have SC's with
and who, as well as the rate at which they gain points going towards an SC, as
there are three different levels C, B, and A and a different amount of
turns stood next to each other is needed for different people. Their growth
rates may vary, as well as their starting values.
Ex/ of rate 25/2
25 is the starting value, and 2 is how much it goes up by each turn the
characters stay together.
The amount needed for each SC level is as follows:
Level C: 81 points
Level B: 161 points
Level A: 241 points
A "*" next to the growth rate means I have the conversations done for that pair
of characters.

PENT AND LOUISE
==============================================================================
Alright, here is another little helpful section. Basically Pent and Louise
get their conversations during different levels. The levels their conversations
are triggered are as follows:
C RANK - CHAPTER 27 (Cog of Destiny)
B RANK - CHAPTER 30 (Victory or Death)
A RANK - FINAL CHAPTER (Light)*
For the A rank, it is in the second half of the final chapter.
Hope that clears a bit up.
==============================================================================
CONVERSATION CODES
==============================================================================
The new section, conversation codes. Just scan the list for the pairing
you want to read and copy the code, do a Ctrl+F, paster the code, hit enter,
whamo!
I should of done this a lot sooner, be easier on you guys.

SUPPORT CONVERSATIONS
==============================================================================
Finally, here are the SC's I have gathered up thus far, I plan on getting
them all but it will take some time and work so bare with me.
I will list the characters who are having the conversation first then the rank
of the conversation, followed by the conversation itself and then a few
comments by my part.
ex/
ELIWOOD/HECTOR C RANK
ELIWOOD: "Them's some nice logs you got cut there"
HECTOR: "Thanks for noticing"
(note this does not exist)
(out of a possible 10)
STORY RANK: 0
COMEDIC VALUE: 9
OVERALL RANK: 4.5
COMMENTS: What the hell does logs got to do with anything? on a plus side it
was kinda funny.
that was just an example I made up to show what my format will be, since there
will be repeats of conversations between the different character sections I
may have some data redundancy, I might change it if the size issue gets too big
or if anyone has a better idea on how to arrange them.
Anyways here goes:
==============================================================================
ELIWOOD
==============================================================================
ELIWOOD/HECTOR C RANK CC003
HECTOR: Ah, Eliwood! It's good to see you're still well!
ELIWOOD: Hm. You expected otherwise?
HECTOR: No, of course not, I knew you'd be fine.
ELIWOOD: Hector, wait for a moment. What did you want?
HECTOR: Nothing. It's enough to see that you live and are still fighting.
Just wanted to make sure you weren't overdoing it with me not around.
ELIWOOD: I should say the same to you.
HECTOR: Me? don't worry about me. I'm fine. I'm built tough you know. A
little too much is just enough for me. But you, you've never been
a hardy one, Eliwood. Nor are you used to travel. Go on too long,
and you'll collapse.
ELIWOOD: We're all weaklings compared to you, Hector. ...Thankfully wars are
not won by strength alone, eh? We've been sparring once every two
months since we were twelve, and of the 30 matches, 14 I won, 12 I
lost, and 4 were draws.
HECTOR: Erh? I think not! I recall 31 matches--an even 13-13 split, with
5 draws!
ELIWOOD: Yes, well, you recall wrong. I'm in the right.
HECTOR: Hmph. And what makes you so certain?
ELIWOOD: Whoose snoring was it that shook the rafters in numbers class?
HECTOR: Ah, good point.
ELIWOOD: ...Still, I'm touched you were worried about me. Now, back to
the fray!
HECTOR: Hey, wait! ...Blast.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY RANK: 7
COMEDIC VALUE: 6
OVERALL RANK: 6.5
COMMENTS: I was snoring during numbers class too, so that average score might
be off. Overall this is a good SC, it provides some information about Eliwood
and Hector's past and adds a bit of comedy too, which is always a plus in my
book.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ELIWOOD/HECTOR B RANK CC003
ELIWOOD: Something, wrong Hector? Was that a yawn I saw? Not the best
battlefield manners.
HECTOR: Ah... It's nothing. Just my dreams lately...
ELIWOOD: Dreams? What kind of dreams?
HECTOR: Laugh, and I'll kill you.
ELIWOOD: ...All right.
HECTOR: There was this man--a giant with a beard--carrying a girl on his
shoulders. The girl called to him "Father," and she was smiling,
happy. Then the father said to her, "Yes, my beloved daughter?"
That's all, really. But it felt as though... It felt like a
long-past memory. The man looked a bit like my own father, I
suppose. But who was the little girl? Aye, she was a cute one.
ELIWOOD: What color was her hair?
HECTOR: huh. Blue.
ELIWOOD: And the man's hair? his moustache?
HECTOR: His were bluish, too.
ELIWOOD: Then it is a vision on your own future! A great moustache, eh?
Ah hah hah!
HECTOR: Grr... You laughed! Hm. If that is my future I'm not sure I like it.
ELIWOOD: Why not?
HECTOR: The girl that would be my daughter... She gets taken away by this
boy that appears later. ...A boy with red hair! Yes, it was red, I'm
sure of it.
ELIWOOD: Don't get ahead of yourself! there are plenty of people with
red hair...
HECTOR: Quiet! now I'm sure--the boy was a Pheraen. No matter how close we
may be, I'll not--I'll not give up my daughter!
ELIWOOD: Hector! Let's hope your dream doesn't come true, eh? For my sake.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY RANK: 9
COMEDIC VALUE: 8
OVERALL RANK: 8.5
COMMENTS: Hmm a very interesting conversation... could this boy with red hair
be... no it couldn't! Could it!? Haha, anyways, this SC gives great, uh...
forestory? Hector can see into the future somehow or another. Some great
comedy mixed in here as well. A great SC.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ELIWOOD/HECTOR A RANK CC003
ELIWOOD: Hector, you still remember that time?
HECTOR: What time?
ELIWOOD: You know, what was it--ten years ago? When the lords of Lycia held
the oath rites, back in Ostia? "Should one land of Lycia be attacked,
all will fight at one..." Remember? While our parents were off
pledging thier oaths, we were kids in that one room.
HECTOR: Yeah, I remember. We had to act in a manner befitting the children
of nobility, or some such nonsense. I just remember being stuck in
there, having to sit in that chair talking to whoever was next to me.
Course, wouldn't you know that Erik of Laus was on my right? Man, I
heard more than enough sweet talk from that one!
ELIWOOD: Right, right. That was the first time any of us met, after all.
He had no idea who you were--he just wanted to get in favor with a
lordling of Lycia.
HECTOR: Aye, he was all mouth anyway. Saying things like "let us join forces
for the good of Lycia," and such... then running when things turned
sour.
ELIWOOD: Aw, don't be too hard on him. When he jumped up, yelling about us
swearing our own oaths, then cut his hand like that... No one else
knew what to do, either.
HECTOR: Well, everyone's heard the stories. They all know it's the warrior's
custom. Each cuts his own hand, then shakes hands with his
brothers... What man wouldn't want to do that? Only one had the guts
to meet him, though.
ELIWOOD: ...You know, back then, I'm proud I took your hand. We are friends,
sharing a life-dream now, an ambition. When one is in danger, the
other risks his life to protect him... That's why you came, isn't it?
Because you remembered?
HECTOR: Heh. I've got no plans to break my oath. Not now, not ever.
ELIWOOD: Likewise.
HECTOR: Well, then lets live long and in health! I don't want to hear any
excuses about not being able to come help when we're old men.
ELIWOOD: It's a deal. ...Stay alive, Hector.
HECTOR: Deal. And don't you go dying before me, either. I'd never forgive
you.

ELIWOOD: Marcus? Thanks, I'm fine.
MARCUS: Perhaps it is not my place... But, Lord Eliwood, you should
stay out of combat, I think. Let me deal with the enemy!
You can join me, Lord Eliwood, and thus travel in safety...
ELIWOOD: I'm afraid that cannot be. This is my journey to make.
It is my responsibility.
MARCUS: Lord Eliwood! Well, I cannot say that I am not impressed by
your strength. You have truly grown, and for that, I am
joyful.
ELIWOOD: Ah, Marcus, your sentiments are always larger than life.
MARCUS: But it does make me lonely, you know. When you were born,
Lord Eliwood... Why, I had just recieved the honor of

MARCUS: Ah, it's just, I was thinking how much you've grown... Even on this
journey, seeing you going off to battle, brave and strong. You have
much of your father's presence.
ELIWOOD: You think so?
MARCUS: I do. Mine eyes fill with tears of joy, truly...
ELIWOOD: There you go with the poetry again, Marcus. ...That reminds me of
something my father once spoke of. Marcus, you went into battle by
my father when he was young?
MARCUS: Indeed. I was just a page at the time. But under Lord Elbert's
command I swung my spear as best as I could.
ELIWOOD: And you fight by my side on this, my journey, as well.
MARCUS: I made a promise to Lord Elbert. I swore to protect the lord Eliwood
until his return. Knights of Pherae always carry out their orders,

Even in such a horrid conflict as this one, still you have lost none

MARCUS: Take care of your heart, Lord Eliwood. You will need it to lead your

ELIWOOD: Yes...let us all return to Pherae together. For that alone, we must
win this battle. Should we fall on the road, my dear mother's heart
would never mend.
MARCUS: Do not worry, my young lord. I, Marcus, will defend you. I have sworn
that Lord Eliwood will return safely to Pherae. And return you shall,
to find a lovely, kind wife to lead with you. Then you will follow in
Lord Elbert's footsteps. Then, when your child is grown and ready to
go off into battle, I, Marcus, will be there to accompany and protect
him!
ELIWOOD: Marcus... I know no knight of Pherae more worthy of the title than
you. I thank you, as does my future son.
MARCUS: It occurs to me... When Lord Elbert became engaged to the Lady
Eleanora... Why he was the same age you are now, Lord Eliwood. As a

I must admit.
ELIWOOD: Er... Wait a moment--The food I'm eating...You've been preparing it?
LOWEN: Why, yes!
ELIWOOD: You...an esquire... Why?
LOWEN: My father was the chef to the previous marquess of Pherae... In other
words, Lord Eliwood, he cooked for your grandfather. Until he through
his back out, that is... Your father, too, acquired a taste for his
cooking, you see. So when I had the pleasure of joining him on his
tours of the domain, I always took it upon myself to prepare his
every meal!
ELIWOOD: Oh, I get it now...
LOWEN: I am afraid I do not know your tastes, Lord Eliwood. Everything I
have made up on this trip, has been things your lord father, Elbert,
favored. I do hope you find them suitable to your palate?
ELIWOOD: For an esquire such as yourself to cook... With your patrol and watch
duties, where do you find the time? I mean, you really don't have
to...
LOWEN: Ever since Lord Elbert went missing... Lord Eliwood's meals have
grown smaller. You don't eat! The Lady Eleanora and General Marcus
have been quite concerned. Yet when you left on your journey and I
began to cook for you, we found you would eat more... I've been

I do, we'd become fast friends. What do you think? Know anyone?
ELIWOOD: Hmm... Let me see...
LYNDIS: Someone skilled in the spear, or axe, or bow would be fine, too, of

ELIWOOD: I don't know any ladies skilled in the martial arts. Most of them
never leave the castle, for that matter. The only time I see them
are at the banquets and such.
LYNDIS: Banquets...I see. Those are no place for someone from the plains,
like me. Oh well... Chancellor Reissmann tells me I need to learn
manners. I have to attend all these affairs in place of my ill
grandfather, you see. The chancellor doesn't think I act enough like
a lady of Caelin. That's why I was hoping to find a lady that could

ELIWOOD: Well, you're beautiful, Lyndis.
LYNDIS: Wha--? E-Eliwood! What did you--?

me something else?
ELIWOOD: Something else?
LYNDIS: Yes, well, you know! Even if you can't teach me about being a lady,
there is much to learn...
ELIWOOD: Manners and such? That's fine by me, but I think you're worrying too
much. You should relax, take it in stride.
LYNDIS: Yes, but I have so far to go! I'm not like a lady at all. My
grandfather took me in, a mixed-blood child, but I fear the other
nobles of Lycia will not be so accepting. I do not want the Sacae
blood in my veins to bring my grandfather shame.
ELIWOOD: Hmph. You sound shy--Nothing like the Lyndis I know!
LYNDIS: What?
ELIWOOD: When I first saw you in Khathelet, I thought, what strength she has
in her eyes, that woman. I seem to remember, Lyndis, back then, you
didn't know what to think about your noble Lycian blood, but the
Sacae blood in you... for that, you had nothing but the purest pride.
Remember how you felt. You don't have to be like anyone else, Lyndis.
LYNDIS: ... ... Yes...you're right. I guess... I guess I lost myself. Thank
you, Eliwood. I feel better, somewhat.
ELIWOOD: No need to thank me.
LYNDIS: When I was on the plains, I used to despise the nobility. But I've
changed. I think it happened a year ago, when I met you. You...you

ELIWOOD: You are both knights, yes? That's rare in Lycia.
FIORA: Yes, as children we decided that we would become pegasus knights. I

few options other than the mercenary way.
ELIWOOD: I see. My father once told me of your homeland, long ago. The ground
of Ilia is covered year-round in the whitest snow, he said, and it
is a harsh life for the people who live there. Yet because Ilians
turn to being mercenaries, they are looked down upon--without
reason--by other lands.
FIORA: Yes... But there is nothing to be done about it. No matter how many
tears we shed, the snow will not melt. Better to fight for my

HARKEN: Lord Eliwood!
ELIWOOD: I must apologize... My selfishness has caused you much worry, I know.
HARKEN: No, nothing of the sort!
ELIWOOD: I thought a great deal about what you said. Harken, I am not entirely
unable to understand your feelings. I know I have told you that my
father's death was not your fault. Yes I know my words cannot change
your heart. I...understand what you mean, how it would feel if you
could not protect me either.
HARKEN: ... ....
ELIWOOD: But I have a goal to accomplish. I cannot look away from that.
...Nor is it something I can accomplish should I die. So, I will not,
I cannot die. I will live, complete my mission, and return to my
mother's side.
HARKEN: Yes. That is why you must leave the fighting--
ELIWOOD: The same goes for you, too, Harken.
HARKEN: My lord?
ELIWOOD: You are here to protect me, yes? you must not go so far that you fall
and cannot complete your mission. I need you to live to the end, to
help me on my path.
HARKEN: Lord Eliwood...
ELIWOOD: We will live, the both of us, and return to Pherae. Anything less
would risk my mother's displeasure! And...my father's.
HARKEN: My lord! I... I understand!

HECTOR/ELIWOOD C RANK CC003
HECTOR: Ah, Eliwood! It's good to see you're still well!
ELIWOOD: Hm. You expected otherwise?
HECTOR: No, of course not, I knew you'd be fine.
ELIWOOD: Hector, wait for a moment. What did you want?
HECTOR: Nothing. It's enough to see that you live and are still fighting.
Just wanted to make sure you weren't overdoing it with me not around.
ELIWOOD: I should say the same to you.
HECTOR: Me? don't worry about me. I'm fine. I'm built tough you know. A
little too much is just enough for me. But you, you've never been
a hardy one, Eliwood. Nor are you used to travel. Go on too long,
and you'll collapse.
ELIWOOD: We're all weaklings compared to you, Hector. ...Thankfully wars are
not won by strength alone, eh? We've been sparring once every two
months since we were twelve, and of the 30 matches, 14 I won, 12 I
lost, and 4 were draws.
HECTOR: Erh? I think not! I recall 31 matches--an even 13-13 split, with
5 draws!
ELIWOOD: Yes, well, you recall wrong. I'm in the right.
HECTOR: Hmph. And what makes you so certain?
ELIWOOD: Whoose snoring was it that shook the rafters in numbers class?
HECTOR: Ah, good point.
ELIWOOD: ...Still, I'm touched you were worried about me. Now, back to
the fray!
HECTOR: Hey, wait! ...Blast.

STORY RANK: 7
COMEDIC VALUE: 6
OVERALL RANK: 6.5
COMMENTS: I was snoring during numbers class too, so that average score might
be off. Overall this is a good SC, it provides some information about Eliwood
and Hector's past and adds a bit of comedy too, which is always a plus in my
book.

HECTOR/ELIWOOD B RANK CC003
ELIWOOD: Something, wrong Hector? Was that a yawn I saw? Not the best
battlefield manners.
HECTOR: Ah... It's nothing. Just my dreams lately...
ELIWOOD: Dreams? What kind of dreams?
HECTOR: Laugh, and I'll kill you.
ELIWOOD: ...All right.
HECTOR: There was this man--a giant with a beard--carrying a girl on his
shoulders. The girl called to him "Father," and she was smiling,
happy. Then the father said to her, "Yes, my beloved daughter?"
That's all, really. But it felt as though... It felt like a
long-past memory. The man looked a bit like my own father, I
suppose. But who was the little girl? Aye, she was a cute one.
ELIWOOD: What color was her hair?
HECTOR: huh. Blue.
ELIWOOD: And the man's hair? his moustache?
HECTOR: His were bluish, too.
ELIWOOD: Then it is a vision on your own future! A great moustache, eh?
Ah hah hah!
HECTOR: Grr... You laughed! Hm. If that is my future I'm not sure I like it.
ELIWOOD: Why not?
HECTOR: The girl that would be my daughter... She gets taken away by this
boy that appears later. ...A boy with red hair! Yes, it was red, I'm
sure of it.
ELIWOOD: Don't get ahead of yourself! there are plenty of people with
red hair...
HECTOR: Quiet! now I'm sure--the boy was a Pheraen. No matter how close we
may be, I'll not--I'll not give up my daughter!
ELIWOOD: Hector! Let's hope your dream doesn't come true, eh? For my sake.

STORY RANK: 9

OVERALL RANK: 8.5
COMMENTS: Hmm a very interesting conversation... could this boy with red hair
be... no it couldn't! Could it!? Haha, anyways, this SC gives great, uh...

comedy mixed in here as well. A great SC.

HECTOR/ELIWOOD A RANK CC003
ELIWOOD: Hector, you still remember that time?
HECTOR: What time?
ELIWOOD: You know, what was it--ten years ago? When the lords of Lycia held
the oath rites, back in Ostia? "Should one land of Lycia be attacked,
all will fight at one..." Remember? While our parents were off
pledging thier oaths, we were kids in that one room.
HECTOR: Yeah, I remember. We had to act in a manner befitting the children
of nobility, or some such nonsense. I just remember being stuck in
there, having to sit in that chair talking to whoever was next to me.
Course, wouldn't you know that Erik of Laus was on my right? Man, I
heard more than enough sweet talk from that one!
ELIWOOD: Right, right. That was the first time any of us met, after all.
He had no idea who you were--he just wanted to get in favor with a
lordling of Lycia.
HECTOR: Aye, he was all mouth anyway. Saying things like "let us join forces
for the good of Lycia," and such... then running when things turned
sour.
ELIWOOD: Aw, don't be too hard on him. When he jumped up, yelling about us
swearing our own oaths, then cut his hand like that... No one else
knew what to do, either.
HECTOR: Well, everyone's heard the stories. They all know it's the warrior's
custom. Each cuts his own hand, then shakes hands with his
brothers... What man wouldn't want to do that? Only one had the guts
to meet him, though.
ELIWOOD: ...You know, back then, I'm proud I took your hand. We are friends,
sharing a life-dream now, an ambition. When one is in danger, the
other risks his life to protect him... That's why you came, isn't it?
Because you remembered?
HECTOR: Heh. I've got no plans to break my oath. Not now, not ever.
ELIWOOD: Likewise.
HECTOR: Well, then lets live long and in health! I don't want to hear any
excuses about not being able to come help when we're old men.
ELIWOOD: It's a deal. ...Stay alive, Hector.
HECTOR: Deal. And don't you go dying before me, either. I'd never forgive
you.

LYNDIS: Hector, got a moment?
HECTOR: What's up?
LYNDIS: Something I heard from Eliwood... You spar with him pretty regularly,
right?
HECTOR: Yup. What of it?
LYNDIS: I was wondering whether you'd spar with me, too?
HECTOR: You? I recommend against it. i wouldn't want to leave a scar on a
little one like you.
LYNDIS: Hey! Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I'm weak!
HECTOR: Nah, this isn't about being a man or a woman. Just...my armor's
heavy riding armor, see? A swordsman such as yourself wouldn't
stand a chance.
LYNDIS: My! I see. I get it. So you've judged my strength already, then.
HECTOR: that's not what I'm saying! Oswin once taught me during training
a long time ago: Heavy cavalry and swordsmen are like water and...
Hey...what's with the glare?

LYNDIS: I'm busy right now. I'm learning some new lunge and thrust patterns.
HECTOR: Yeah, I thought you were standing different. What is that lunge used

came to the rescue. Then, together, we fought the armies of Laus.
HECTOR: Lyn. Why are we together now?
LYNDIS: Well...
HECTOR: Because we're friends, right? Say if you were much stronger than I
was... Would that make me useless to you?
LYNDIS: No... Of course not.

HECTOR: Usually, they get paid by the battle, with no bonuses or anything.
And...he said 20,000 gold is way, way too much.
FARINA: But...
HECTOR: Payment is determined by rank within the knightly order, right? At
your level of ability, I'd say you're worth 2,000 gold, tops.
FARINA: Never! I'm at 4,000 gold, I am!
HECTOR: What's that? 4,000?
FARINA: Er...
HECTOR: So what was all that about 20,000 gold, eh? Trying to pull one on me,
weren't you!
FARINA: N-No, not at all--never! I'd never do that! It's just, I've been
underpaid compared to my ability until now.
HECTOR: Look me in the eye and say that again.
FARINA: Well, and isn't this assignment a long-term one? I might need food for
my pegasus...
HECTOR: Right, right. So, what does a pegasus eat? Carrots?
FARINA: Of course not! You would treat a pegasus like a common horse?
HECTOR: Um, it is a horse.
FARINA: Wrong! Pegasi are noble animals! So, they must eat noble carrots, you
see!
HECTOR: Like I said, carrots!
FARINA: No no no! L-Listen-- I'll do the work I've been paid for. That should
be enough, right? Now, watch me go!

LYNDIS: Where did you learn that style?
ELIWOOD: My father taught me the basics. Then, I recieved some
instruction from Marcus. I spar once every two months with
Hector, too.
LYNDIS: Sparring, huh? Interested in a new partner?
ELIWOOD: Who, you? I don't have a problem with that.

ELIWOOD: Of course. There's quite a few.
LYNDIS: Then, some are women, I take it? If they enjoyed swordplay as much as
I do, we'd become fast friends. What do you think? Know anyone?
ELIWOOD: Hmm... Let me see...
LYNDIS: Someone skilled in the spear, or axe, or bow would be fine, too, of
course.
ELIWOOD: I don't know any ladies skilled in the martial arts. Most of them
never leave the castle, for that matter. The only time I see them
are at the banquets and such.
LYNDIS: Banquets...I see. Those are no place for someone from the plains,
like me. Oh well... Chancellor Reissmann tells me I need to learn
manners. I have to attend all these affairs in place of my ill
grandfather, you see. The chancellor doesn't think I act enough like
a lady of Caelin. That's why I was hoping to find a lady that could
teach me.
ELIWOOD: You've got your work cut out for you.
LYNDIS: Say, could you teach me, Eliwood? Teach me how to act like a lady!
ELIWOOD: You think I know!?
LYNDIS: ...No, I guess you wouldn't. Ahhh... My grandfather must be vexed
to have me as a grandchild. My late mother was gentle, well mannered,
and beautiful...
ELIWOOD: Well, you're beautiful, Lyndis.
LYNDIS: Wha--? E-Eliwood! What did you--?
ELIWOOD: Yeah, when we were sparring this last time, I was thinking... The way

LYNDIS: Yes, well... about sparring... I was wondering if you might not teach
me something else?
ELIWOOD: Something else?
LYNDIS: Yes, well, you know! Even if you can't teach me about being a lady,
there is much to learn...
ELIWOOD: Manners and such? That's fine by me, but I think you're worrying too
much. You should relax, take it in stride.
LYNDIS: Yes, but I have so far to go! I'm not like a lady at all. My
grandfather took me in, a mixed-blood child, but I fear the other
nobles of Lycia will not be so accepting. I do not want the Sacae
blood in my veins to bring my grandfather shame.
ELIWOOD: Hmph. You sound shy--Nothing like the Lyndis I know!
LYNDIS: What?
ELIWOOD: When I first saw you in Khathelet, I thought, what strength she has
in her eyes, that woman. I seem to remember, Lyndis, back then, you
didn't know what to think about your noble Lycian blood, but the
Sacae blood in you... for that, you had nothing but the purest pride.
Remember how you felt. You don't have to be like anyone else, Lyndis.
LYNDIS: ... ... Yes...you're right. I guess... I guess I lost myself. Thank
you, Eliwood. I feel better, somewhat.
ELIWOOD: No need to thank me.
LYNDIS: When I was on the plains, I used to despise the nobility. But I've
changed. I think it happened a year ago, when I met you. You...you
believed in me. You helped me.

WIL: I-I must apologize! I didn't know about your parents... I'm afraid I
have been most unforgivably rude!
LYNDIS: ... ...
WIL: Actually...I ran away from home. Together, with a friend... Five years
ago. We had a plan, the two of us. We'd get lucky, make a fortune.
Both our families'd live in happiness. That was our dream... But
things didn't work out that way, of course. My friend went back home
after only a month.
LYNDIS: ... ...
WIL: I thought I'd never forgive him, you know? How could he do that? He
quit halfway... How could he respect himself after that? Of course...I
was no better. I wandered for a few years. Finally, I came as far as
Bern... But nothing ever changed. I was afraid to tell my parents,
afraid they'd find out... After all, I was the one deserving no
respect.
LYNDIS: ...Nothing ever changed? I would think that you realizing your own
mistake was a big change.
WIL: Lady Lyndis...
LYNDIS: It's true, Wil. Sain often told me: "That Wil is such a miser, he'll
not lend me one gold." "What's the point in saving all the time?
Gold's to be spent!"
WIL: ... ...
LYNDIS: And Kent, too, he said: "Wil is my best student--the most attentive by
far." "He's driven, that one..." "There's someone he wants to please by
becoming a knight, I can tell."
WIL: ... ...
LYNDIS: Stay in the Knights of Caelin until you've reached your goal. But I
think your parents would like to hear that you are safe and well...
More than seeing you as a knight years from now... or having you bring
them mountains of gold...
WIL: Lady Lyndis... I'll do It. I'll write them a letter tonight.
LYNDIS: Yes. And Wil... I'm sorry for pushing you.
WIL: Not at all! I feel like I will owe you until my dying day, Lady Lyndis.
LYNDIS: Remember, a letter isn't enough. You need to go home.
WIL: Yes! I will!

WALLACE: Ah, Lady Lyndis!
LYNDIS: I wanted to thank you for fighting with us.
WALLACE: It is nothing! I have sworn my body and blade to Caelin! It is my
duty to aid the lady Lyndis. Ah, I was going to ask you how the
knights of Caelin have been doing? Have they been following the
training courses in my "Manual of Knightly Prowess"?
LYNDIS: Y-Yes... They're all giving it their best. All except that one crazy
course in which they're supposed to circle the domain at top speed...
WALLACE: What!? Those weak-bellied wimps! How many times did I explain: Leave
out one of the drills in the manual, and the good it has done will be
for naught!
LYNDIS: But they're only human! Running full speed around the domain is
impossible!
WALLACE: With an iron will, nothing is impossible, my Lady. At my best, I
circled the domain thrice, in armor!
LYNDIS: You can't set one person as a standard for all, especially one as
exceptional as yourself!
WALLACE: Nonsense! Lord Hassar dismounted and ran the three laps with me, he
did!
LYNDIS: Wallace! You... You knew my father?
WALLACE: I knew him well. I knew Lord Hassar well, for he was my rival in all
things.

SERRA: That's the most ungrateful thing I've ever heard! You know, Erk, I've
been with them longer than you have... So you really should treat me
like your superior!
ERK: ...As usual, you use entirely confounding logic. Doesn't Lord Eliwood
decide such matters?
SERRA: Well, he hasn't mentioned it yet, but I'm sure he would agree. After
all, I am his close friend and Hector's fiancee!

Eliwood and Lord Hector are captivated by my charm... So, wait...wouldn't

chance to be with me like this...They might send you to the front line
to die, even!!

die if I don't look after you! I just stay by your side to make sure

wouldn't look for you if you disappeared...So I stay with you to make

LUCIUS: That would be some ten years now. When Cornwell was torn asunder
two years ago, Lord Raymond and I joined the Caelin army as
soldiers for hire.
PRISCILLA: Yes... You see? You went to Cornwell after I left. And you have

OSWIN: My lord, Uther of Ostia, investigated the matter. He...entrusted
me...with some details. In recent years, the Cornwell fortune had
begun to decline. Marquess Cornwell, in acts of kindness, had
assumed the debts of many close to him. When he could not pay his
own debts, the wolves came out.
PRISCILLA: But...if it was a matter of money, why couldn't they ask my adopted
family, the Caerleons?

what our Ostia has done to House Cornwell. The marquess did commit
a grave crime. But the vilest sin was the issue of the order...that
caused so much grief. If he had stayed alive, perhaps much calamity
could have been avoided.

you appeared, Sir Lowen, on your white steed...

LOWEN: Rebecca? How did you find me here?
REBECCA: Oh, that was easy! I asked Marcus, and he told me right away! How are
you feeling today, Sir Lowen?
LOWEN: I am full of vigor! If only my skill matched my enthusiasm today.
Lord Marcus reprimanded me several times during our march.
REBECCA: Yes, I saw that. Lord Marcus is a bit severe, isn't he?
LOWEN: No, not at all! It is more than I deserve for my incompetence! My
spear arm is still unsteady, and I must sadly wonder if I will ever
be of use to this army.
REBECCA: How can you say that? Sir Lowen, you are so commanding in the saddle!
LOWEN: For now, I'm nothing but an inconvenience to Lord Eliwood! I must
become stronger! Beginning today, I will triple the number of my
practice spear thrusts!
REBECCA: You... You're shouting. You know...I really think you try hard enough
already. Here, take this... In grattitude for saving my village.
LOWEN: What is this?
REBECCA: I preserved some home-cooked meals for you to eat in the field. They
should supplement your emergency rations nicely, Sir Lowen.
LOWEN: How did you know about my emergency rations? Have you asked a
fortune-teller about me, or...
REBECCA: Lord Marcus told me.
LOWEN: Ah, yes! Of course he did! Lord Marcus!! How is it that you know
everything!? ...Regardless, thank you, Rebecca.

KENT: Lord Heath... Forgive my impertinence, but I must ask you something.
Why did you have to leave the knights of Bern?
HEATH: ...Well, that is impertinent...
KENT: Forgive me. But as the commander of Caelin's knights, it is my duty to
test the loyalty of any new recruit, to learn about his past...
HEATH: What!? You are the commander? You are quite...young.
KENT: Lord Heath, please help me to understand. The wyvern riders of Bern
are considered to be the strongest knights in the land. Surely we Lycian
knights would fall to their lances if we met them head on... So why
would you leave Bern for Lycia?
HEATH: ...Bern is not as it once was. Our sovereign has imprisoned all those
nobles who do not meet his favor. And their fabled power is a feeble
joke. The only real strength of Bern's knights these days is in their
boasting. And their general is good for nothing but wagging his tail
at the king.
KENT: .....
HEATH: There was an uprising on our frontier, a rebellion of sorts. The knights
were ordered to put it down and kill the rebels. Our commander went to
scout out the enemy camp. This "uprising" was nothing more than a group
of unarmed peasants.
KENT: I see...
HEATH: Then I heard the truth from our commander. One of our generals had
drummed up a fake rebellion to enhance his military career. These people
did not want to fight. They ran at the mere sight of us. Then, the
famous wyvern riders of Bern rained savage death down upon these
innocents.
KENT: .....
HEATH: My unit tried to stop them. We were all condemned to die for our
treason. However, our general spread the story that we were to be
hanged for slaughtering innocent lives. Before they could round us up,
we decided to turn our coats and run. One of us stayed behind as a
decoy, and the rest fled for the border. After that, we dispersed. All
have been killed now, except for me. Are you satisfied now?
KENT: ...I see. So, Bern...
HEATH: Bern is nothing to me... I have no love for a country that slaughters
its own. Kent, what about your liege? Would you give your life in this
lord's service?
KENT: Yes. It is a knight's honor to swear his fealty and his life. My
happiness is to serve.

OSWIN: Ah, my good man. Have you reconsidered my proposition?
DORCAS: Oswin... Why did you... become a knight?
OSWIN: Why, to protect good Ostia in this armor, of course! This cold steel
protects not only my body, you know. It also protects my lord and my
people! I became a knight to act as the very wall that protects our
families.
DORCAS: I see...
OSWIN: And so...
DORCAS: No... Forgive me, but I must decline. I respect your choice in life.
But I fight to protect only one, not many. I do this for my wife,
waiting for me in Pherae.
OSWIN: I understand... You are her knight then, my good man. That is our
loss, but the choice you make is solid. Well then, shall we be going?
For those protected ones we hold dear!

Dorcas... The one with the pretty little thing fretting at home. So
why'd he leave her, the big oaf! If I know men, it's because he's

Lord Hausen!

WIL: So, the archers of Sacae, they're all mounted, aren't they? I'd have
trouble just staying on... If I had to shoot, too, I'd be in trouble!
RATH: The beasts of Sacae are swift... If we could not shoot from the saddle,
we would starve...
WIL: Hmm... I guess so. I just grew up in such a quiet little town... Our
traps were always full, and we never wanted for rabbit.
RATH: ......
WIL: That's why I'm not so swift on the field. I can shoot pretty well, of
course, but before I know it, the enemy's behind me... I hate to think

You can shoot from far away, and you always know the enemy's numbers and

Of course, it does complicate matters that you are pursued.

LEGAULT: That's what I mean, you're overestimating me... As a rule, assassins

ISADORA: Weak...
LEGAULT: Yep. They use darkness to catch their targets unaware, use poison,
work in groups... They can't win if they fight fair, so they use
trickery. In a fair and open duel, a knight would crush an assassin.

misfits. The commander would teach them how to live. Of course,
being an assassin's not a job to brag about, but everyone had a
kind of pride in what they were. They could at least say that they
were right. That what they did wasn't wrong.

since we parted last year? We didn't know where you had gone, and
Lady Lyndis became rather worried.
WALLACE: Hm? Oh, er... Yes, well... I just...wandered about. I felt that I
had lost some of my former strength, so I tried to train myself back
into shape.
KENT: I see...
WALLACE: And you... Have you kept up your training?

you were already in the knight brigade, weren't you?

KENT: When Lady Lyndis's parents eloped, I heard that Lord Hausen became
terribly angry...
WALLACE: Yes. He was usually warm and kind, but his demeanor changed entirely
when it came to Lady Madelyn's welfare. I was ordered to bring them
both back. I was told to resort to force against Hassar if he
resisted.
KENT: That is quite a shock... I cannot imagine such an order from our kind
lord now...
WALLACE: I accepted my orders and set out to find them... Lady Madelyn was not
accustomed to hard travel, and I found them soon... But I could not
take them.
KENT: Why is that?
WALLACE: They both said the same thing. Each said, "I am to blame. Do not
harm the other."
KENT: ......
WALLACE: In the end, I closed my eyes and let them cross the border... I told
the marquess that they eluded me.
KENT: You disobeyed an order from your liege?!
WALLACE: ...Yes, and I spent six months in the dungeon for it... Considering
his anger at the time, he was probably being lenient with me.
KENT: But why did you do it? I can certainly understand it must have been
a hard order to follow, but... to disobey your lord is unthinkable
for a knight...
WALLACE: So it is. But what would you have done? Would you have dragged Lady
Madelyn back to the castle, ending their chance for love? She might
have taken her own life if faced with such grief. And Lady Lyndis
would never have been born...
KENT: No...
WALLACE: When the marquess fell ill last year, Lundgren seized power in Caelin.
What would you have done then? Would you have served Lundgren because
you had sworn fealty to Caelin?
KENT: ......
WALLACE: For knights in the service of a lord, an order is absolute. But a
knight does not follow orders blindly. before obeying, a knight
should always consider whether the order serves the lord who gives it.

WALLACE: Yes?
KENT: Lord Hausen thanked you after the fact, did he not? So your

such an example... I have long believed that a knight owed blind
obedience to his lord... However... I... How do you know? How do you
know what your loyalty truly requires of you?
WALLACE: Kent. You must decide for yourself.
KENT: I must decide...? But...
WALLACE: My disobedience was actually in setting out to do the thing I knew was
wrong. I knew this before I even set out to recover Lady Madelyn.
Loyalty to one's lord is like love itself. So long as you keep the
love of your lord in your heart, your loyalty never truly wavers.
Wouldn't you agree?
KENT: Yes... Certainly, it is as you say. Thank you, Lord Wallace. I still

CANAS: Oh, no! They are alive! But...barely. They merely subsist... As you
know, elder magic is based on the forces of darkness... It is even more
powerful than nature magic, which is often called anima. But to use
this magic, you must invite the dark forces within you. The temptation
to submit to the darkness is...great. ...Unfortunately, the darkness
took my brothers... They live...and breathe... their eyes open and

If I may be so bold... I would proudly offer my services.
LOUISE: You may not be so bold, sir.

LOUISE: Your generosity is commendable, sir, but are you not sworn to the

HEATH: Ahh, yes...
LOUISE: Well, sir... If you wish to remain in my grace, you will cease all such
foolish thoughts!
HEATH: ...But why? I am a knight! I must protect women and nobles whenever
I can, even if they are not my liege lord! Are you saying that
fulfilling my duty is not proper? That it is an affront to you!?
LOUISE: You must forgive me... However... I am a soldier in this army just like
you. In other words, we are partners... But if you insist on giving
me special treatment... Then I will have to assume it is because you do
not trust me.
HEATH: L-Lady Louise! I could never think such a thing! Your precision with
the bow is the talk of the camp! ...The mere thought that my words
could offend you makes flames spring from my brow! Please forgive my
arrogance!
LOUISE: Heath... It is I who have offended with my selfishness... I apologize.
Will you forgive me?
HEATH: Forgive you? But I could never even fing fault with you! I could not
betray my honor with such discourtesy!
LOUISE: I see... Well, my lord is calling me... I must go to him. But, Heath,
we will continue this conversation.
HEATH: Please do not trouble yourself over me. Return to yuor lord,

purple eyes, sparkling with intelligence...
ERK: L-Lady Louise, now is really not the time for such old memories...
LOUISE: Hush... Listen. Lord Pent had only just become a mage general then...
and he was hardly ever home in the castle. I was so happy to have such
a cute young student around. But that student shut himself away in his
room all the time... just reading his books. He didn't eat, he hardly
slept, and soon, he collapsed.
ERK: I... I remember...
LOUISE: That's right. You never let anyone do nice things for you, and then
you just fall apart! But I realized as I nursed you back to health...
You thought of us as total strangers... You always spurn those who try
to help you most...
ERK: N-No, that's not true! I could never think of you... of you or Lord Pent
as strangers! ...But your love for me is so strong... Sometimes...it
scares me, and I feel...paralyzed.
LOUISE: Erk, loving another person gives you the greatest joy and energy! You
are so precious to us. From the time we met, we have all lived as a

NINO: ...Jaffar.
JAFFAR: ......
NINO: Jaffar, can I ask you something?
JAFFAR: What is it?
NINO: ...Well, um... Why were you... with Nergal?
JAFFAR: ......
NINO: When I first met you, it was after you had come with Moth--I mean,
with Sonia and the Black Fang. So I thought at first that you were
with the Black Fang. Then, my brothers told me that you had come
with Nergal. I had never met Nergal, but... As Nergal's servants,
you and Sonia must have been friends, right?
JAFFAR: ...I was selected by Nergal as a child. He raised me to become his
Angel of Death. ...I...did not think. ...I did not feel.
I did what I was told... ...and that was all.
NINO: ......
JAFFAR: I entered the Black Fang with the intent of infiltrating them, of
using them... I had heard rumors about Sonia and her daughter being
there... That child, raised by Sonia... I thought she must be
something like myself... But...the first time I saw you, you were with
the Reed brothers, laughing... in that dazzling light... as if you
belonged there...
NINO: ......
JAFFAR: ..I became very interested in you... When you saved my life... I
thought I had you... But I couldn't do it... Nino, that was the first
time I ever had...feelings...

"Look, Erk, this book is filled with pictures. There are fields of
rolling, green grass, flowers that explode into color, and clouds that
crawl across the seamless sky. Training to be a mage requires more than
staying in your room studying all the time. You must go outside and
commune with the spirits. When you get better, we'll go for walks
everyday. Until then, look at these pictures and think of how it will
be."
NINO: Commune with the spirits... I do that a lot. My mother just used them,
and always said that talking to them was a waste of time, but... But it
sounds like your teacher really got to know them. Eheheh. This makes
me so happy...
ERK: ...You never cease to amaze me, Nino. It's as if you were born to do
magic. You remind me of my teacher...
NINO: Of your teacher!? Oh, no way!! Even as a joke, that just sounds like an

you'd throw down your sword. You were the strongest assassin around.
Now, you have a fatal chink in your armor. You've become human, but
that makes you less perfect. Someday...you'll die. No doubt trying

JAFFAR: ...That's fine. I will live with Nino. I've decided.
LEGAULT: I see... In that case, fine. Lloyd and Linus were worried about Nino,

Do your best.

You just look so much like him... You could be the very image of a

RENAULT: ...Sorry. That's a little hard to imagine.
WALLACE: The man I knew was a mercenary also in the service of Caelin. Yes,
and his name was also Renault. Renault the Impervious, they called
him. He had no fear of death, and his bravery was well known. Did
you know him?
RENAULT: No...
WALLACE: I learned much about fighting from him... I owe him a great debt as
my teacher... I wanted to meet him one more time in my life.
RENAULT: Why do you want to see him?
WALLACE: I made a promise to him when I was young. I told him I would fight
always for the sake of the people. I told him I would never use the
skills he taught me for evil. I want to tell him that I have kept
this promise... But...surely he is long dead.

creatures possess souls... All those created by the gods, that is.
But what of those created by man? And these manufactured beings...

in the Eliminean scripture?
RENAULT: A long time ago, I... Enough. I don't want to talk about this.
CANAS: Oh. Well that is... truly unfortunate. You see, we know so little of
Nergal.
RENAULT: ......
CANAS: Why, for example, did he begin creating morphs? After his falling out
with the Archsage Athos, did he feel alone in the world? Did he need
the company of someone who could understand him? Was he forced
to...create...such a being?
RENAULT: ...Not exactly.
CANAS: Oh?
RENAULT: He has no care for his creations... He merely brought them into this
world to serve him. His only interest is himself. Those...things...
that he discards... They lose their way... and wander. And he cares
not. Morphs...are the mere fact of existence... once meaning has been
stripped away.
CANAS: Renault... How do you know so much?

little... So...how could you...?

Knowledge...is the reason for my journey... I understand there are
some things you would rather the others did not know... So, please do
not answer if you do not wish to.
RENAULT: As you wish.
CANAS: Please tell me... These morphs Nergal has created... How can you know
so much about beings that are centuries old?
RENAULT: ......
CANAS: I will give you the answer I suspect may be true. You know, because
you were there. Nergal was alone after he and Athos separated. The
only ones around him were his morphs... Perhaps then, you are...
RENAULT: ...... What?
CANAS: ...... ...I have never thought one should back away from knowledge,
but...I hesitate to ask...
RENAULT: Is that so... Then I will ask you a question.
CANAS: Yes?
RENAULT: You asked me before... Whether or not morphs had a soul... What do you
think?
CANAS: ...... Before...I would have said that I do not know... But now,
perhaps I do... Morphs...do have souls... That is what I believe...
RENAULT: ...That is not a bad answer. Your reply deserves another good
answer... When Nergal first created his morphs, he was not alone. He
had one assistant. A mercenary who wanted desperately to bring back
a friend he had lost in battle. This mercenary volunteered freely for
Nergal's experiments, knowing they would make him less than human...
CANAS: Bishop Renault, are you saying--

It belonged to the legendary pirate king, Han Gak. If I can just
decipher the riddles he used to mark the location of his buried

had to make sure. I had to find out if you were the same old Florina.
FLORINA: Huh?
FARINA: I mean, Florina, suddenly you're just so powerful! You're like a
different person! I missed the old Florina. But I feel better now.
I just had to check and see if she was still there.
FLORINA: Oh, Farina...

FARINA: I have to get going! If I just sit around talking, people will start
to ask what I do to earn my startlingly high salary! That wouldn't do

Pegasus knights. The men just work the terraced vegetable fields in

FLORINA: My sister first told me that story as a child to make me go to bed...
Even now, every year, the people in that area make an offering to the
mountain... When I was little, I so wanted to meet the ice dragon that
I braved the cold and waited all night next to the place of
offering... But I saw dawn the next morning, and the dragon never
came... Then I caught a cold and my sister got very upset with me...
NINIAN: ...You waited all night? Miss Florina... Weren't you afraid of the
dragon?
FLORINA: Afraid? Why?
NINIAN: Doesn't everyone think that dragons are terrifying, man-eating beasts?
I mean, how could two different species ever get along?
FLORINA: It doesn't matter what species you are... Look at me. My pegasus and
I are of different species...
NINIAN: Yeah, I guess so...
FLORINA: Pegasi are all very shy around humans... But I'm kind of that way,
too... At first this sweet mare and I were so afraid of each other...
It didn't go so well... But we played together, and swam together...
And soon, we began to understand each other... And that's how we
became friends... So even if two beings may be shaped a little
differently... That doesn't mean they can't get along.
NINIAN: I see... Yeah, you must be right! I mean...we get along, don't we?

NINIAN/HAWKEYE A RANK CC105
NINIAN: Lord Hawkeye.
HAWKEYE: ......
NINIAN: May I... Ask you something? I... Well...
HAWKEYE: I know. You need say nothing. I have heard it from my master...
NINIAN: From Lord Athos?
HAWKEYE: Listen. My master said this to me... Humans and dragons fight and
fear one another... This has not changed for a thousand years. Most
humans now have never seen a dragon, but the fear still remains,
carried down over time...
NINIAN: Yes...
HAWKEYE: But humans can change. Humans live only a short time, but they can
learn and feel much in that time. So they can change.
NINIAN: ......
HAWKEYE: Humans and dragons can understand one another. The day they will
understand each other will come. I believed the master when he said
so.
NINIAN: Yes... I... believe it, too.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
==============================================================================
Got a few questions here now...
Q: Are Marth and Roy in this game?
A: Marth is not, and neither is Roy, well sorta. Roy is not a playable
character in any way but he is refered to sometimes (Hectors prophecy)
and he also appears in a cutscene.
Q: ____ died, is there any way to revive him/her?
A: If he/she died before the end of Lyn's tutorial missions then yes, but after
that he/she will be forced to sit out and may only appear for story reasons.
Q: Does support conversation effect the ending of the game like extra
CG pics or cutscenes?
A: Yea converstions do effect the ending in big ways. For some characters you
may get an extra cutscene but very few. Also the endings may change for the
pair of people you reach A in. Soon I will include which conversations add
to the ending and which ones reward you with a CG.
Q: Can you replay maps to go back to shops for extra items?
A: No, you cannot go back after a level is completed, though you can restart the
level mid-play in case you have forgotten something using soft reset or
whatnot.
Q: Can your weapons be repaired in some way that you can use them longer than
the initial usage number?
A: There is a staff you get as you are playing through the game that has the
power to repair items. Other than that though there is no way. Even though
the staff cannot repair itself.
Q: Besides enhancing the ending can the support feature do anything else?
A: Support conversations add to characters stat points, in a hidden way you
don't see. Your strength may go up if you have someone at "A" rank but you
cannot actually see that boost, it is a hidden value. The characters
elements have to do with what stat boosts you gain secretly. I hope to have
a chart or something that lists the boosts after I am finished with the
conversations.
Q: Is Lucius a boy or girl?
A: He is a boy.
Q: Is Erk a boy or girl?
A: He is also a boy.
Q: Why can't I get the Support conversations? I have had ____ next to ____ for
the set amount of turns...
A: There are a couple reasons that you might not be getting them, one is that
you are still in Lyndis's story, the first 10 levels are Lyndis's story, so
until you clear that you cannot get any Support conversations.
Another reason is that you have already gotten a conversation for that pair
this level. What I mean is that if you get a support conversation between
Erk and Serra in a certain level, then it is not possible to get another
conversation between them until the next stage.
Q: How can Renault and Karla get support up to A? They are only in your party for
the last 2 levels!
A: Ah... I get this question mailed to me quite a bit, but it isn't that hard to
figure out. The thing is the last stage is actually separated by two different
parts. (I am sure you can tell when the first one ends and the second part
begins) So you indeed get Renault and Karla to A rank, you just have to get
two levels of support in one level.
Q: Can I send you some conversations that you don't have included in your FAQ?
A: Now this is a question I wish I would of put in here earlier, you can send me
any conversations I do not have but the thing is MAKE SURE they are not in
there already cause these are a major pain to type up so if you have a
handful to send in be positive. Also if you want to be included in the
credits of my FAQ please give me a name or alias that you wish to be credited.
This might speed up the process of this FAQ even though it is nearly done.
anyways, thanks.
Anymore questions that anyone has can be mailed to me.
