I. Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Welcome Fire Emblem fans, and thank you for stopping by! I am a writer
for FAQs that do not involve gameplay, usually preferring copying down text
and the like. This case is no different, for you will find nothing about such
matters here. This FAQ is for the sole purpose of recording base conversations
and what it takes to receive them.

       Base conversations are found under the section labeled 'Info' in the
base, which you visit before the vast majority of chapters. You can also see
base conversations in the final five-part chapter, though this is not done in
a base; rather, you see them in a menu.

       What these conversations do varies depending on the amount of stars
next to it. One star means it is not important to the gameplay, but often is
worth looking at anyway for character development. Two stars means it is
moderately important; to be honest, I did not notice many two-star
conversations. Three stars means you will either gain an item, gold, or a new
character! These are obviously the most important to view, though I would
advise looking at all of them for fun.

       This feature was in Path of Radiance as well, but what I enjoy about
this game is that they added base conversations you got in the Extras menu, so
you can see them again after beating the game! This FAQ is for people who
either cannot get the game, do not want to beat the game but are interested in
seeing more development, or for people who do not want to bother going through
the game multiple times to get various conversations. For instance, an
infamous Ike and Soren conversation has pretty hefty requirements; you must
have gotten their A support in Path of Radiance, transfer the data, get their
A support in Radiant Dawn, and be on your second playthrough! Other annoying
ones to get include having certain characters in your party at part four, when
you may not want to bother. So even though you can see them in the Extras
menu, there is still purpose to this FAQ.

       I warn you that there will be spoilers if you have not completed the
game. Read at your own risk!

       For the record, this FAQ is not done yet. I am sure I am missing some
conversations that I simply did not meet the requirements for. Also, I might
have a few errors in the 'requirements' department. If anyone sees a problem
in this FAQ, please, try to contact me through the Radiant Dawn game board or
via email. Hopefully I will receive it; my email has been annoying before.

       That concludes the introduction. Enjoy reading some of the best
development characters in this game get, seeing as supports barely do it! (I
doubt I will ever get over that.)

II. Version History
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.87-12/06/07: First version of this FAQ. Contains 88 out of 101
base conversations. 13 left to go. I am aware many of them require a second
playthrough of the game, and plan on tackling that swiftly. Most specifically
need to know if the requirements I listed for supports are correct.

Name: In Town
Importance: ***
Requirements: None
Receive: Meg (Character)

Micaiah: Sothe, have you noticed...
Sothe: Yes. Ever since we arrived here.
???: ...
Sothe: What should we do?
Micaiah: Hmm, I can't sense any malice. Whoever it is doesn't seem to mean us
any harm, but... Yes, let's do it.
Sothe: All right. On three, then. One... two... three!
???: Ahh!
Meg: Hey!
Micaiah: There, now we can see your face.
Sothe: You're... a girl?
Meg: I-I'm sorry!
Micaiah: No! Wait! Please don't run!
Meg: ...
Micaiah: My name is Micaiah. Don't be afraid.
Sothe: Have you gone mad? Don't tell her your name! We're on the run, remember?
Micaiah: It's all right. She's not after us.
Meg: ...
Micaiah: This is my... brother, Sothe. We're from Nevassa.
Meg: Oh... uhh... hi there.
Micaiah: And you are?
Meg: I'm Meg.
Sothe: What are you doing out here on the edge of the desert?
Meg: I'm looking for someone. Someone very important. Someone close to my
heart...
Micaiah: All by yourself?
Meg: Yes.
Sothe: You're meeting someone way out here?
Meg: I'm not sure, exactly. All I know is that this is where he came before he
disappeared. I thought maybe he went into the desert...
Micaiah: What a coincidence. We're also looking for someone in the desert.
Would you like to come along?
Meg: Really? Are you sure?
Micaiah: Of course.
Meg: Oh, thank you! I've been so lonely since I left Crimea all on my own.
Sothe: You came all the way from Crimea? I'm surprised you've made it this far.
Micaiah: That's it then. Welcome aboard, Meg. You're one of us now.

Requirements: None

Aimee: Oh, there you are. Can we have a word with you?
Micaiah: Aimee, Muston. How may I help you?
Aimee: Relax, honey. I'm here to tell you about our business. You like to
shop, don't you?
Sothe: Let me guess, you want to sell us weapons and other items. Am I right?
Aimee: That's right. OUr inventory changes depending on where we are and what
time it is.
Muston: But one thing is always the same. We guarantee fair prices! So stop by
whenever you can.
Micaiah: Do you carry tomes?
Muston: Yep. Fire, Thunder, Wind, Light... We've got your basics covered.
Aimee: My shop also has lots of staves and medicine. Oh, and I have recently
made some... key connections. Now I carry some very rare items. They're one of
a kind, and very valuable. You should come have a look! Rare weapons too.
Honestly, you should buy them before someone else does! At these prices,
they're bound to sell quickly.
Muston: Well, that's our spiel. Thanks for listening.
Aimee: Do come by! We'll be waiting.

Name: More Merchants
Importance: **
Requirements: None
Receive: One free weapon upgrade

Jorge: Well, hello! Don't mind us! We won't take but a moment of your time...
Micaiah: Hello, Jorge. Hello, Daniel.
Daniel: We just wanted to tell you a little about what we can do for YOU.
Sothe: I've already told her. Jorge will buy from us any items or weapons that
we no longer need. And Daniel--
Jorge: Hey! Excuse me, we're here to talk to Micaiah! Not to some stuffy,
know-it-all pun--
Daniel: Jorge, don't be rude! I'm sorry about that, Sothe. Anyway, we just
wanted to tell you about some changes we made to our business.
Sothe: All right, then. I'll keep my mouth shut as long as Daniel does the
talking.
Daniel: Thank you.
Micaiah: So, what do you have, Daniel?
Jorge: Hey, thanks for asking! I've got a guy who's a master blacksmith. He
makes weapons you wouldn't believe... and they're not available anywhere else!
Daniel: Hey, thanks a lot, Jorge! I make weapons too... pretty good ones, if I
do say so myself! It's just, you know, customs have been extremely tight
lately... raw materials are so hard to come by... Which reminds me, if you
ever have weapons you don't need, would you sell them to us?
Jorge: Yes, please. Actually, even better... sell me your weapons, and I'll
give them to Daniel. Then he can smelt them down and use the steel for newer,
shinier pieces!
Daniel: It costs some money to upgrade weapons, but... But hey, let's face it,
it's worth the money. Owning a custom-made weapon sets you apart from the
common soldier!
Jorge: Oh, and here's a one-time-only deal! I won't even charge you for
materials on your first upgrade! Pretty nice, huh? Now you have no excuse not
to come by. Got that, Micaiah?
Micaiah: Um... yes. Thank you.
Sothe: ...
Daniel: One last thing. If you ever bring me a coin, I'll give you a little
bonus on whatever I'm making for you. They're very rare, so be sure to hang on
to them. Don't sell them to some stranger!

Name: Kurth
Importance: *
Requirements: None
Receive: None

Micaiah: What are you doing out here, Kurth?
Kurth: Hello, Micaiah. Pay me no mind. I'm just watching the desert. How the
wind changes the sandscape... The ebb and flow of the dunes, like giant swells
in the ocean. I find it mesmerizing.
Micaiah: Is this your first time in the desert?
Kurth: Yes. My homeland is ringed with mountains. Everything about Daein looks
new and curious to my eyes.
Micaiah: I see.
Kurth: ...You have not asked.
Micaiah: I'm sorry?
Kurth: You have not asked me who I am or where I am from. Not just you,
Micaiah, but the others as well. No one seeks to know who I am.
Micaiah: You seem not to want to talk about yourself. Am I right?
Kurth: Yes... Quite right.
Micaiah: That's why no one asks. People can tell when someone wants privacy.
Many of us desire privacy too. Kurth, you are not our enemy. I know that much.
You are kind and gentle. That is all I need to know.
Kurth: Thank you...

Chapter Five: The Lost Heir
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Sothe
Importance: ***
Requirements: None
Receive: 10,000 Gold

Sothe: Hey, Micaiah. I sold the treasures we took from the ruins. We have
traveling cash now.
Micaiah: How did we do?
Sothe: We have 10,000 in gold.
Micaiah: Great! That'll help a lot.
Sothe: Maybe. We could use more.
Micaiah: Sothe, 10,000 is plenty. We just need enough money to live on. More
than that, and the soul becomes impoverished.
Sothe: I know, I know. We should be rich of heart and poor of pocket... Me, I
just follow your orders.

Name: Nailah
Importance: ***
Requirements: None
Receive: Volug (Character)

Nailah: So, you're returning to the desert?
Micaiah: Yes. We must go back.
Rafiel: My dear...
Nailah: Yes, Rafiel, I know. Micaiah, I have a question. How can we help you
in this fight?
Micaiah: What? But...
Nailah: I know you probably don't want to be seen with laguz. But we cannot
just sit on our paws, so to speak, while our allies are in danger.
Micaiah: I appreciate that, but...
Nailah: No? Fine. Sorry to bother you.
Micaiah: No, no. It's not what you think. Please don't apologize. It's just
that...
Nailah: What is it, Volug?
Volug: ...
Nailah: I see. That is a good idea.
Rafiel: Oh, yes. I agree. That is a wonderful idea.
Micaiah: Yes? Volug? What's going on?
Nailah: Micaiah, it will not seem so strange if you travel into the desert
with this dog at your side, will it?
Micaiah: What?!
Nailah: As you know, we laguz fight only in our shifted forms. However, we
can't remain in that state for very long. It is too exhausting. Volug,
however, has halfshifted. When he does this, he can remain in beast form all
day long.
Micaiah: Queen Nailah, I appreciate your help--
Nailah: He is not as strong in this transitional form. Even so, he is still
more than a match for any beorc.
Micaiah: How could you call Volug a dog?!
Nailah: I know. He's not as friendly as a dog. And I don't know if he's
housebroken. But he can fight!
Micaiah: That is not what I meant.
Nailah: Micaiah. We wish you good luck. Volug, guard her well.
Rafiel: Do be careful.
Micaiah: I will. Thank you. Volug, is she always so... blunt?

Name: Laura and Aran
Importance: *
Requirements: Have Laura alive, recruit Aran, and have him alive
Receive: None

Micaiah: So, you are an old friend of Laura's?
Aran: Yes. I'm afraid I must apologize for my poor choice in employers.
Micaiah: Please don't worry about it. After all, you saved us.
Aran: When I saw Laura, I simply couldn't stand by any longer.
Laura: Thank you, Aran.
Aran: I've been meaning to ask you, Laura. What's become of your church? I'd
heard that, since the occupation, most of Daein's clergy have been
excommunicated and sent to prisons. I know that the empire sent its own
replacements. Was your church affected?
Laura: No, thankfully. Our congregation would always say... "The clergy of the
empire wouldn't even consider coming to a dingy church in a backwater village
like this! You've been spared, Minister!" Ha ha ha... We extended our prayer
time to thank the goddess for saving our church.
Aran: Ah... I see.
Laura: Oh, Aran. I meant to tell you, now that you're one of us, you'll have
to become a bandit.
Micaiah: Excuse me?
Aran: I'm sorry... a bandit?
Laura: There's really no need to worry. The Dawn Brigade bandits have virtuous
people like Micaiah in their ranks.
Aran: Er... Okaaay...
Micaiah: No, we're not ban--
Laura: But always remember, Aran. We must strive above all else to be
honorable bandits. For the future of Daein.
Aran: Uh... All right...
Micaiah: ...Bandits?

Name: Dawn Brigade
Importance: *
Requirements: Edward, Leonardo, and Nolan must be alive
Receive: None

Edward: Oh, man... Where is this prince, anyway? I wanna go home to Nevassa.
Leonardo: A long-lost prince of Daein? Who even knows if he really exists...
Edward: Of course he does!
Leonardo: How do you know? Do you have any proof?
Edward: Simple. Micaiah told us we should look for the prince. So, it's gotta
be true!
Leonardo: Yeah, you're right. Her farsight is always spot on.
Edward: Even if we don't find him, there's no need to worry... 'cause I'm here!
Leonardo: Excuse me?
Edward: Since we left Nevassa, my swordsmanship has pretty much improved
tenfold! By the time we get back home, I'll be invincible! I'll kick those
tyrants out of Daein with my own two hands and one sharp blade!
Leonardo: It's great to have a dream, Edward... but you should wake up now!
Edward: Are you saying I'm not good enough?!
Leonardo: No. I'm saying there's a limit to how much one person can achieve.
I'm going to do the best I can, but... It doesn't matter how strong the two of
us become. We can't change what's going on in Daein. Not by ourselves.
Edward: Well, duh! I'm just saying it's a goal! You know? Just something to
work toward.
Leonardo: Sure. But you shouldn't say such things lightly. It might be just a
joke to you. It's not to me.
Edward: Wow. Sorry.
Leonardo: Yeah, well. So am I. I didn't mean to get so serious. All the
fighting... it just gets to me sometimes.
Nolan: Hey, boys. What is this, a funeral? What's with all the doom and gloom?
Edward: Nolan.
Nolan: I couldn't help but overhear, and I have a little to say on the
subject. You're right, each of us can only achieve so much on our own. But you
boys are still young. Don't let go of your hopes and dreams. Not yet, anyway.
Leonardo: But...
Nolan: Listen, there's no way we can free Daein by ourselves. But we CAN find
King Ashnard's lost son and fight against the empire under Daein's banner. If
we gather our strength, we stand a better chance of freeing our motherland.
Now then, how's that for a little motivation to get your sorry backsides into
training harder?
Edward: That's great! Thanks, Nolan. You're pretty smart for an old man!
Nolan: Hey, now... None of that, or I'll show you what an old man can do!
Leonardo, are you feeling better?
Leonardo: Yes, sir. Thank you, Nolan. I guess age does make you wiser.
Nolan: How old do you think I am, anyway? Now I'm getting depressed...

Lass: Could she... Could she be the Silver-Haired Maiden?
Micaiah: Hm?
Lass: Oh, it is! It is you!
Grandmother: Oh... Oh, my...
Lass: You're fighting with King Ashnard's son to free Daein, aren't you? Oh,
we've heard so much about you!
Grandmother: Oh... what a blessing! What a blessing!
Lass: We're all waiting! We're waiting for the day you free us from those
filthy Begnion pigs!
Grandmother: Please... take... this.
Lass: It's not much, but people from all over the village pitched in.
Micaiah: Oh, no, I couldn't possibly...
Sothe: Thank you. We appreciate your kindness.
Grandmother: ...
Lass: We're all counting on you! Please, free us!
Micaiah: ...
Sothe: Looks like Izuka's propaganda is working fast.
Micaiah: Mm.
Sothe: You didn't want me to take the money, did you?
Micaiah: It's not that. It's just... Oh, never mind.
Sothe: Oh, come on. What did I do this time? You're not going to say? Great.
In that case, let's get out of here and go find the others.

Name: Kurth
Importance: ***
Requirements: None
Receive: Renewal (Skill)

Kurth: So, you're staying, then?
Almedha: I appreciate your concern. However, I--
Kurth: You can't leave Prince Pelleas's side. Is that not so?
Almedha: That's right.
Kurth: Then take this, at least.
Almedha: A sending stone?
Kurth: Do you remember how to use one?
Almedha: Of course I remember how to use one. But it's such a precious gift...
Are you sure about this? Thank you, Kurth.
???: Kurth! Where are you?
Almedha: I must go now.
Kurth: Please, remain safe.
Almedha: You as well.
Kurth: ...
Micaiah: Kurth?
Kurth: Micaiah. How nice to see you.
Micaiah: Kurth, I'm leaving for Terin. I know this is sudden. To tell the
truth, I'm surprised too.
Kurth: I see. You are off to perform your first duties as a general of this
"Liberation Army."
Micaiah: Yes.
Kurth: I abhor violence. I do not think you should fight.
Micaiah: Kurth, I'm not fighting because I enj--
Kurth: I know. I know you wish there were another way. And I understand that
you feel this is what you must do to save your country.
Micaiah: ...
Kurth: Here, take this.
Micaiah: What is it?
Kurth: May it serve to protect you. Micaiah, I must leave you now. I am going
home to my own country.
Micaiah: What? So suddenly?
Kurth: I'm sorry, Micaiah. Being so close to battle frightens me, to tell the
truth. Thank you for rescuing me. And thank you for the short time we spent
together. I enjoyed it immensely.
Micaiah: Will I ever see you again?
Kurth: Who knows? Why don't we... Yes. Let us leave it up to the goddess.
Micaiah: I suppose we must.

Meg: H-hello...
Zihark: Oh, hello there.
Meg: H-h-hello.
Zihark: Yes... hello. Now that we have that established, what can I do for you?
Meg: Um... Uh... I... I'm... Meg.
Zihark: Yes, I know. It's nice to meet you, Meg. That's a very nice name.
Meg: And, uh... I'm from Crimea.
Zihark: Yep, I'm one step ahead of you! Heard that too. You're far away from
home now, aren't you? Quite an independent girl, eh?
Meg: Um, and, my village... It's called Ohma.
Zihark: Oh! You're from Ohma? Now that's something I did not know.
Meg: Yes.
Zihark: Then you must know Brom... Hold on a second... You look exactly like
him. Are you two related?
Meg: We sure are! I'm his daughter. His... youngest daughter.
Zihark: Oh, I've heard stories! He loves to tell stories about his kids. He
said that you could lift a full-grown cow! It's nice to meet the person I've
heard so much about! How is Brom? Doing well?
Meg: Yes! Yes, he is! He works ALL the time. I do wish he would slow down...
Zihark: Ah, yes. Well, it's good to hear he's staying busy. Brom, huh? Wow,
brings back memories... Well, if you're his daughter, I'll do whatever I can
to help you. You said you were looking for somebody? who is this person?
Meg: Well... He's my... He's my fiance.
Zihark: How could any guy leave a girl like you? What's this lucky guy's
name? What's he like?
Meg: Well... he's standing right in front of me.
Zihark: I'm sorry, I'm sure I misheard you. Can you repeat that? ...Slowly?
Meg: My daddy told us years ago that he was going to marry one of us to a
really nice friend of his, a mercenary named Zihark.
Zihark: Whoa, hey now... I don't, uh...
Meg: But my older sister got married last year, and so I came instead! Oh,
it's so nice to finally meet my husband!
Zihark: Meg, look, this is kind of crazy...
Meg: Zihark... I'm sure I still have a lot to learn... But after meeting you,
I just know we'll live happily ever after!
Zihark: Meg, I need you to listen very closely...
Meg: Oh, don't worry! I'll work hard every waking moment to become a good
wife! Even during a fight! See you later, pookums!
Zihark: Meg, wait! Wow, she's downright pushy. She must get that from her old
man. ...And did she just call me "pookums"?

Name: Pelleas
Importance: ***
Requirements: None
Receive: Brave Sword (Sword)

Pelleas: Sorry to call you here like this. Forgive me.
Micaiah: It's quite all right.
Pelleas: Can I pour you some tea? Or is there something else you would prefer?
Micaiah: I'm fine, thank you. What did you want to speak with me about?
Pelleas: I know you are angry with me. Please, forgive me.
Micaiah: Can you tell me why you stopped showing up at our meetings?
Pelleas: It was at Izuka's request.
Micaiah: You are the leader of this army! You cannot simply leave all the
decisions to someone else!
Pelleas: ...I'm sorry. I'll ask Izuka before the next meeting. I need his
permission to attend.
Micaiah: Why? You're the prince. Why should you need any man's permission,
much less your own advisor's?
Pelleas: Yes, I am the prince, but... I owe much to Izuka. He taught me
everything I needed to know to become a proper member of the royal family. He
contacted Tauroneo and the other senators from Daein for help. Without his
power and influence, I would never have mustered an army--or met my own mother.
Micaiah: I see. You were alone...
Pelleas: Pardon?
Micaiah: And then Izuka reunited you with your mother, gave you a place to
stay, and provided you with a reason to live. And you feel you owe him a debt
of gratitude for ending your loneliness. That is why you try to do as you are
told--as Izuka wishes.
Pelleas: Micaiah, you're--
Micaiah: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to--That was inappropriate.
Pelleas: You're amazing!
Micaiah: Amazing?
Pelleas: You really can read minds! I'm simply amazed! You saw right through
me!
Micaiah: ...
Pelleas: Sorry, I got too excited. Look at me, I'm sweating.
Micaiah: Prince Pelleas!
Pelleas: What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?
Micaiah: That mark...
Pelleas: Oh... that.
Micaiah: What is it?
Pelleas: It's called the Spirit's Protection. The source of all magic in this
world is tied to the power of the spirits. When you make a pact with such a
spirit, its power manifests on your body like this.
Micaiah: I... see.
Pelleas: What am I saying? You already know all of this, of course. You have
the Spirit's Protection, too.
Micaiah: What?
Pelleas: I saw you washing your hands the other day. When I walked up to say
hello, I saw the mark on your right hand.
Micaiah: You saw...
Pelleas: I thought of confiding in you right away, but my mother called for
me. I didn't get a chance to tell you until now.
Micaiah: Do you think this mark is really the Spirit's Protection?
Pelleas: Oh! You didn't enter into the pact yourself?
Micaiah: No.
Pelleas: I see. So, it must have been the spirit who wished to make a pact
with you.
Micaiah: Pardon?
Pelleas: It's a very rare phenomenon among newborns. Usually it happens to
infants who have an exceptional talent for magic. You truly are amazing,
Micaiah.
Micaiah: I don't know about that...
Pelleas: Let's keep this among ourselves... We don't want people to confuse us
with the Branded.
Micaiah: What are the "Branded"?
Pelleas: I'm pretty sure it refers to beorc who have laguz blood in their
veins. I know, it's hard to imagine someone with the blood of a sub-human
running through their veins. Anyway, I've been terribly mistreated by people
who thought I was one of the Branded.
Micaiah: ...
Pelleas: Micaiah?
Micaiah: Oh... sorry. I think I understand more about you now, and about the
marks we share...
Pelleas: I'm glad I was able to tell you. I'm surprised you didn't know. Come
talk to me again sometime.
Micaiah: Certainly.
Pelleas: Oh, I almost forgot. Here. I wanted to give you this.
Micaiah: What is it?
Pelleas: It's this splendid sword I recently acquired. It gives its wielder
the upper hand in battle. Keep it or give it to whomever you like.
Micaiah: Shouldn't you give it to the soldier you deem most worthy?
Pelleas: No, I wouldn't want the soldiers thinking I'm giving anyone special
treatment. It would be inappropriate. That's what Izuka says, anyway. So I
think you should do it.
Micaiah: I understand. You must have so much on your mind.
Pelleas: Indeed. I long for the old days when I was poor, but had few worries.
Micaiah: Prince Pelleas...
Pelleas: But I'll keep fighting. I won't stop until Daein is free once more.
Micaiah: Hear, hear!

Sothe: We're just about ready. Let's talk to Tormod, and--
Micaiah: ...
Sothe: Micaiah?
Micaiah: Oh, sorry.
Sothe: Hey, remember our promise from three years ago? There are no secrets
between us.
Micaiah: Sothe, Muarim knows that I'm older than I look.
Sothe: I see. Well, don't worry too much about it. You can trust him.
Micaiah: Yes, I'm sure of that. Muarim seems very trustworthy. But, what about
everyone else? What would they think if they knew all of my abilities came
from the mixed blood running through my veins? Blood they consider cursed!
Sothe: Micaiah, stop...
Micaiah: Right now, when they look at me, they have love and affection in
their eyes, but would they look at me the same way if they knew? I don't want
to find out, Sothe. I don't think I could bear the truth.
Sothe: You know, we can stop.
Micaiah: What do you mean?
Sothe: Look, this was an impossible situation to begin with. You've always
led such a secluded life... Ever since you were thrust into this position, I
worried that the pressure might get to you.
Micaiah: You're right. I knew it would turn out like this. Despite that, I
accepted the job. I can't stop now.
Sothe: But, Micaiah...
Micaiah: Listen, Sothe. I realized something after Daein lost the war.
Sothe: What's that?
Micaiah: I realized how much I loved my country.
Sothe: And?
Micaiah: During the war, I spent a lot of time with the people of Daein while
I was waiting for you to return. After we lost the war, all our cities and
towns had been reduced to ruins. We had to help each other to cope. We
supported and comforted each other. That's how we survived.
Sothe: You never mentioned this before.
Micaiah: I've been secluded so long, I had no idea people were so strong...
and kind. No one knew who I was, but they helped me because I was from Daein.
They were so... loving. They were my friends.
Sothe: And now you won't leave them.
Micaiah: I was touched by their kindness. Now, I'm scared to lose it. Very
scared.
Sothe: Micaiah...
Micaiah: I suppose this isn't the time to worry about such things. If my
power is needed to liberate Daein, I will stand my ground and fight.
Sothe: Well, not to spoil your resolve... But if things get too hot, I'm
just going to grab you and run.
Micaiah: Sothe...
Sothe: Friends and Daein are important, but not as important as you are to
me. Remember that.
Micaiah: ...All right. Thank you, Sothe.

Tauroneo: I place my trust in you, Sothe. Best of luck. Oh, I nearly forgot.
You should take this.
Micaiah: What a peculiar staff... What power does it possess?
Tauroneo: It is a restore staff. It will help you recover from poison, sleep,
and paralysis. Enemies will use every method they possess to destroy you. It

Vika: No, I'm so sorry. I can't explain why this happens. I get so jumpy

Micaiah: Oh...
Vika: Oh, but please don't be sad! It's not you. It's me. I get... confused...

Micaiah: It's all right. Sorry to bother you.
Vika: ...No. Wait.
Micaiah: Hm?
Vika: I want to overcome this. I don't like that I feel I must avoid you for
some inexplicable reason.
Micaiah: But...
Vika: I know how painful it is to be... feared. I'm really, really sorry.
Let's be friends, OK? If you can forgive me, that is...
Micaiah: Of course I forgive you! Thank you, Vika. I'd be honored to have your

Vika: Here. Take this as a token of that friendship. Please, take it. I'd like

Sothe: Prince Pelleas. You here to see Micaiah?
Pelleas: Yes. At least, I intended to. But she is quite popular, isn't she?
She's always so busy talking to everyone that I can never get near her.
Sothe: They're your soldiers. Tell them to get out of the way.
Pelleas: No, I can't do that. My job is to be the symbol of Daein's
liberation. But the Priestess of Dawn is no mere symbol. For her, the soldiers
will gladly give their lives.
Sothe: Prince Pelleas?
Pelleas: Oh, don't worry, Sothe. I'm not jealous, if that's what you're
thinking. It isn't like that. Although I have to admit, I do envy her from
time to time.
Sothe: Hm.
Pelleas: I almost forgot. Here. These war funds are for you.
Sothe: But the war's over. And, besides, this is a small fortune.
Pelleas: Yes, well, share it with the troops if you like. I may not be much a
leader, but I truly appreciate the sacrifices everyone has made. They deserve
something in return. Divide it up as you see fit. I trust your judgment.
Sothe: Prince Pelleas, you should be the one to give the troops their reward.

Micaiah: Hello, Jill. What are you doing here?
Jill: I saw you walking over here as I was heading back to my tent. Is
something wrong? You shouldn't be leaving camp by yourself.
Micaiah: I'm just exhausted from talking to so many people. But there's no
need for concern. I just need some time to myself.
Jill: Now that you mention it, you do look a little pale. Why not rest in your
tent? It'd be much more comfortable.
Micaiah: I don't want Sothe and the others to know how tired I am. They worry
too much.
Jill: Ah, I can see that. Sothe seems so detached from everything, unless it
involves you... He gets so... worked up. He strikes me as a bit overprotective.
Micaiah: We've always lived by ourselves, just the two of us. I don't think he
can help it.
Jill: Then I shall bring you some medicine, and I'll make sure no one sees me.
I'll meet you at your tent.
Micaiah: Oh, no, that won't be necessary! Do you see that tree? I'll be
resting over there. I should recover in no time.
Jill: But...
Micaiah: I'll be safe. We're still in camp. Besides, don't you have an errand
of your own to take care of? It must be really important to leave the feast so
early in the evening.
Jill: Oh, no, not really. I just thought I'd write a letter to a friend.
That's all.
Micaiah: To the man you told me about? The one you run a wyvern delivery
service with?
Jill: Well... um, yes. You know everything, don't you, Lady Micaiah?
Micaiah: You're going to tell him that the fighting is over, right?
Jill: Yes. More than anything, he despises trouble. He made a delivery to
Begnion, and never returned. I'm sure it's the war that has kept him away.
Micaiah: Really?
Jill: Well, indirectly, at least. To be honest, it's probably more about his
napping. Give him a few minutes of free time, and he's sure to close his eyes
and drift away. The war would certainly disrupt his sleep schedule.
Micaiah: What an... interesting fellow. Well, you should write him and let him
know it's safe to return.
Jill: Are you sure you're all right? You're not pushing yourself too hard?
Micaiah: I'm fine. Please, don't worry about me.
Jill: All right. I'll let you relax alone, then. Oh, but here... Please take
this.
Micaiah: What is it?
Jill: It's a Pass scroll. It might come in handy. Please keep it, if you'd
like.
Micaiah: Thank you, Jill. I will.

Brom: Yup, it's the pits. But that queen of ours is a real nice lady. Knowin'
her, she'd prob'ly just let ya talk to 'er, noble or not.
Heather: The nerve of that Duke Ludveck! He ruined my one chance to meet the
queen. I won't stand for it! He needs a kick in the rear! Or a punch in the
mouth! The things I'd do to him...
Nephenee: Uhm... Heather? You sure are a lovely gal and all, but... You sure

Brom: Can't argue with that, Nephenee. But that's just the way folks are. They
ain't always what they appear to be. Ain't nobody perfect, neither. 'Less

Nephenee: Oh!

both to accompany me to Felirae.
Brom: Hmm. Naw, that won't be a problem. You goin' ta catch the duke?
Lucia: Something a little more... preliminary. I guess you could call it
espionage.
Brom: Espio-what? Sounds serious! Nephenee, you ever hearda that?
Nephenee: Oh, sure. When I was just a sprout, I caught a real bad case'a
that. I got this awful rash all over my back, too!
Lucia: Uh... That's... a very nice story. Maybe I'd better explain what I

Heather: Don't you know anything!? Espionage is all about stealing secrets

Lucia: Lady Lethe, Sir Mordecai, I... Well...
Lethe: We could return to Gallia and bring back soldiers to help, you know. As
an ally in a time of crisis, I'm certain our king would lend support.
Lucia: No, Lady Lethe. This is an internal affair. We don't want to have to
involve Gallia in Crimea's civil problems.
Mordecai: More fighters are always better. THe people of Gallia... All will
fight for Queen Elincia.
Lucia: Listen, I know you mean well, but I just can't allow it. I'm sorry,
but if there were even a hint of Gallia's assistance, there would be even
more problems in the royal court.
Mordecai: Problems? What problems?
Lethe: This conflict isn't exactly a life-or-death situation for Crimea,
so... Relying on support from a laguz nation would cause an uproar with the
nobility. Is that what you mean?
Lucia: Yes, unfortunately. I'm ashamed to admit it, but it's the truth.
Lethe: No. It's common sense, given the history of both our nations. I
completely understand. We won't report this to Gallia.
Lucia: Thank you for understanding. I apologize for troubling you.
Mordecai: No, it is fine.
Lethe: Why this tactic of rousing the people to rebel against the queen,
though? Any laguz who wanted to be king would fight for it with teeth and
claws, as is proper. You beorc are always wasting time talking.
Lucia: Our society is very complex. There's history and tradition, unwritten
law and custom. There are lots of reasons for why we--
Lethe: Bah! Attempts to compromise won't get you anywhere. You should just
kill him and get it over with.
Mordecai: Mordecai feels sad. Poor Queen Elincia... We cannot help her.

Amy: Hi, General Geoffrey! What can we do for you today?
Geoffrey: Sorry, Amy, but I'm not here as a customer.
Amy: Huh?
Calill: Oh, I see why you're here. It's about time, too. I'm ready to string
that blathering drunkard up by his heels.
Makalov: Ta dah...! Whoops... Who put that chair there? I could have been
killed! Lady Calill, you beckoned?
Geoffrey: Makalov, why are you drinking? You realize that tomorrow we have a
battle to fight, yes?
Makalov: Greetings, General! My, you're looking even more dashing and handsome
than usual, Your Excellency.
Calill: Good grief... That man's an embarrassment. Are you sure he's a Royal
Knight? He's like a pig pretending to fly. Why not put a dog in armor and
call it "sir"!
Astrid: Miss Calill, that's not very nice! I think Sir Makalov deserves a
little more respect than that.
Calill: Are you blind, Astrid? It's the night before a mission, and that fool
is stinking drunk. Probably gambled all his money away, too. And you! You
follow him around mooning over him and cleaning up his messes! Do you have no
pride, girl? What the man needs is someone to slap some sense into him.
Perhaps I should--
Astrid: I've chosen to look after Sir Makalov! Nobody's forced me to do it.
And it's really none of your business!
Calill: You know, I'm really starting to wonder about your "good
upbringing." Of all the men out there, what possessed you to place your bets
on such a shabby prospect?
Astrid: Wh-what did you just say!? There are no gentlemen in this land half as
fine as Sir Makalov!
Geoffrey: Oh my...
Largo: All right, settle down, everybody. Keep this up and the general's gonna
pretend he doesn't know either of you.
Calill: Fine, fine. I'm sorry, all right? Happy? So... what was it that you
needed with that ale-soaked oaf, anyway?
Geoffrey: I just wanted to go over our battle plan one last time before
retiring.
Largo: I heard you're going after the duke of Felirae? You think you can
handle him?
Geoffrey: Of course. However, he's been marshalling his forces for quite some
time now. Which means our preparations will have to be flawless if we want to
end this quickly.
Largo: If only I were up to it. You know me. Hah! I'd crush him! I'd kick him
apart!
Calill: Well, I suppose I could go? Someone of my wisdom and power is easily
worth two of you clods.
Largo: Yeah! That's a great idea, lamb-blossom. Like I always say, the best
enemies are the ones that are on fire.
Geoffrey: I'm sorry, but no. Although I do appreciate the enthusiasm.
Calill: I don't see the problem! Do you think I've gone soft! My magic is
still in tip-top shape, I'll have you know!
Geoffrey: No. It's just that I'm sure Queen Elincia wouldn't be pleased with
civilians fighting against their countrymen.
Calill: Hmm. I suppose you have a point.
Danved: In that case, let Danved join you. Danved is not a citizen of Crimea.
Danved will fight like ten men.
Geoffrey: Devdan! When did you get here?
Largo: Actually, General... This, uh... This is not Devdan. This is a friend
of mine, Danved.
Danved: Yes, it's true. People often make that mistake. But Danved is
definitely not Devdan.
Geoffrey: Uh-huh. You look exactly like him.
Largo: Doesn't he?! Amazing, isn't it? Anyway, you can take him with you. Oh,
and no pressure, but the fate of our country depends on the Royal Knights.
Good luck! Don't blow it!
Danved: Danved will fight like a bear! like a tiger! We don't need Largo and
Calill, because Danved is pretty amazing.
Geoffrey: Uh... I understand, I think. Thank you for your help.
Calill: Well, I suppose that's settled. It's time for you to discuss
tomorrow's tactics. Good luck with that. As for that useless drunk... I'll
have someone carry him over later.
Geoffrey: Thank you.
Astrid: Sir Makalov is not useless! How many times do I have to say it!?

Geoffrey: ...You don't need to say that.
Elincia: Geoffrey... I'm sorry.
Geoffrey: I don't understand. What's wrong?
Elincia: Three years ago... you fought to free Crimea from the clutches of
Daein. While you held this lance, your courage was dauntless and your

Geoffrey: Yes. It's a brave lance, and I'm very proud of it.
Elincia: I... I can't have you raise the same lance against your fellow
people of Crimea. I'm sorry... I just can't.
Geoffrey: Your Majesty is worried about the shadow it would cast over my
name? The dishonor of using that weapon on Crimeans?
Elincia: I would never want to damage your pride as a knight. It would be too
much to bear.
Geoffrey: Believe no such thing, Your Majesty. My pride as a knight is most

Elincia: Yes. I really don't deserve them.
Haar: Come on... Don't sell yourself short.
Elincia: What do you mean?
Haar: Loyalty isn't just a personal trait. Most of it hinges on who's calling
the shots. What kind of commander you're under. My first commander was only
concerned with lining his own pockets. And next was the Mad King himself. Man,
I don't ever want to go back to regular military duty. If Shiharam hadn't
asked me, I wouldn't have stayed so long. But he showed me what a leader could
be: someone who makes following seem like the most natural thing in the world.
Elincia: What about in Begnion's leaders and the apostle Sanaki?
Haar: The falcoknights report to the apostle, the dracoknights to the senate.
Of the two, the falcoknights seem happier. I've never actually met the apostle
personally. She sounds like a nice girl, but who knows?
Elincia: I see.
Haar: But I'm just running at the mouth. I actually came to give you this.

Skrimir: Ah! Ike, beorc hero! How are you?
Ike: Pretty good.
Skrimir: Giffca and Ranulf told me about you. You are a skilled warrior,
right?
Ike: Well... I don't think I'm a pushover. I'll say that much.
Skrimir: Don't be humble! My uncle... Er, my king also told me about you.
"Observe Ike and learn his skills. Then you shall become even stronger."
Ike: King Caineghis said that?
Skrimir: He did. I am eager to watch you in battle. You can learn from me, as
well.
Ike: I intend to.
Skrimir: Lions are the strongest of the beast tribe, and I have been trained
to fight by the king himself. I was going to fight in the Mad King's War, but
my uncle forbade it. He said I still had much to learn. But now my time has
come, and you will see the true might of the beasts!

Lethe: Hah! Great! I can't wait to see the looks on all their faces when they
learn that a beorc made all this delicious food!
Oscar: Aww, stop it. You're embarrassing me!
Titania: But it's true! Where did you learn all this, Oscar? You should start
teaching classes.
Mordecai: Yes, your food very good! So good, it will be eaten very quickly.
Oscar: Really? Hmm. Do you think I should make more?
Lethe: Us beasts have a healthy appetite, of course. On top of that, we have
General Skrimir and Ike. ...Yeah. I'd be surprised if what's here lasted past
those two, much less a whole pack of laguz.
Titania: Tsk, you're exaggerating! Ike is a beorc. He couldn't possibly eat as
much as someone from the beast tribe. Well, maybe he would. Actually... He
most definitely would.
Oscar: Yeah. Especially the ribs and steaks.
Lethe: Mordecai. How about we go hunt for more game?
Mordecai: Right!
Oscar: There probably aren't enough herbs to flavor everything. I'll go get
more.
Titania: My. We might need to harvest an entire mountain.

Boyd: Nah. Sorry, kiddo. Power is the most important element.
Rolf: You don't know what you're talking about. It's skill!
Boyd: It's power! Did you practice being this stupid?
Rolf: Idiot meathead!
Boyd: What?! Take that back, you little brat!
Mist: Stars above, don't you two ever stop fighting? You're siblings. Be nice
to each other. So, what is it this time?
Rolf: You be the judge, Mist. What's the most important quality a soldier can
have in battle?
Boyd: It's power, but little Rolfie here insists that it's skill.
Rolf: If you don't have skill, you can't hit your enemies!
Boyd: If you're weak, you can't hurt 'em, even if you do hit 'em!
Mist: Oh, you two are ridiculous.
Rolf: Ridiculous?
Boyd: Yeah, whaddya mean by that?!
Mist: Skill and power are both important. Only a bad soldier would focus on
one over the other.
Rolf: That's true, but...
Boyd: You could at least play along a little.
Mist: Play along? I'm sick and tired of having to listen to your silly
arguments! Anyhow, I'm here to give you something. Here you go, Boyd.
Boyd: Hey, thanks!
Rolf: What's that? A shirt?
Mist: Yep. Boyd's just like Ike. He keeps growing like a beanstalk! If we
didn't constantly make his clothes bigger, he'd run out of things to wear.
Boyd: I'm too broke to buy new ones. Thanks for fixing it up, Mist. I
really appreciate it.
Mist: Well, I can't sew very well, but it gets the job done.
Boyd: That it does!
Rolf: I thought Oscar fixed our clothes...
Mist: He's been busy, so I offered to take over some of his chores. Rolf, I
can alter your clothes, too. If you want, I mean.
Rolf: No thanks. I can do it myself.
Mist: Really? Well, all right, then.
Boyd: Like he needs alterations! I don't think he's grown in years. Right,

Gatrie: Wait, are you saying you're actually curious? I never thought I'd see

Shinon: Well, we're gonna have to hang around these sub-humans for quite a

Lyre: Hey! You! You want to say that again?!
Gatrie: Ahh...!
Shinon: Hey, pussycat. You should've dropped by after dinner. I'm a generous

Lyre: T-table scraps?! How dare you! You scum! Who do you think you are? I'm

Kyza: He's a beroc, Lyre. Please accept my apology on behalf of my associate.
Please, forgive her. Now you, Lyre. Apologize to him.
Lyre: What?! Why do I have to be the one to apologize?! That guy was the one
who started it!
Kyza: Do you want me to report to Captain Ranulf that you couldn't control
your temper and started a fight with a beorc?
Lyre: N-no...
Shinon: I'm waiting... I'd forgive you if you apologized. I am a nice guy,
you know.
Lyre: What?! Never! You're lucky I don't claw that smile off your face!
Kyza: Lyre! I'm sorry... Maybe some other time. Excuse us.
Shinon: Hmph, I hate it when sub-humans like him act all high and mighty,
pretending to be just like us beorc. He's even worse than the other hairball.
Gatrie: ...Sigh.
Shinon: What, did all that stun you into silence? You look like you've been
hit in the head.
Gatrie: So, her name is Lyre. What a pretty name! Lyyyyyre...

Mia: Good! I like it that way! That's why I love training with you.
Ike: At least you're getting something out of it. Titania and Mist just

Mia: Don't you worry about that! I've got the perfect solution.
Ike: What's that?
Mia: Yoo-hoo! Rhys, over here!
Ike: Oh, I see. Interesting idea.
Mia: He'll fix me right up if I get hurt. What do you think of that, huh?
Ike: You all right with that, Rhys? I know you don't like watching allies cut
each other up in training.
Rhys: That's true, but... I think it's better that I know how the injury
happened, rather than having someone just show up and bleed on the floor. It
will reduce the shock of seeing all that blood, you know? That's something I
learned the hard way.
Ike: Well, as long as you're all right with it, I guess it's fine with me, too.

Ilyana: Something delicious. I don't particularly care what it is. I just want

Aimee: No! My darling... Let us not spoil our time together with talk of

Ike: Listen, lady. This is a shop, and I'm a customer. What's so sweet about

Aimee: Oh, such cold words... My hero plays hard to get! You're only making me

Ike: Will you let go of my hand? Please?
Aimee: Then tell me I'm beautiful! Tell me I'm more beautiful than any woman

Aimee: Of course. I'll even give you everything you want for free.
Ike: Oh! All right, then...
???: No, Ike! Don't say another word!
Aimee: That voice! It's--
Ike: C'mon, Soren. She's going to give us everything! For free!
Soren: Nothing in life is free, Ike. Suppose you said what she asked you to
say, hmm? What then? You'd hear it all over the camp. In nearby villages.
Eventually, the entire country would be saying it! "Ike, hero of the Mad
King's War, is in love with Aimee the shopgirl." Rumors can quickly spin out
of control.
Ike: Come off it. You're exaggerating.
Aimee: Ooh, don't be so sure. With my network of merchants, I'll spread the
word to the four corners of Tellius! Within half a year, everyone will know!
Then you will be mine forever, Ike! You'll have no choice at all!
Ike: Man, you go right for the neck, don't you? All right, Soren. She's all

Soren: Yes, sir. What I do now, I do for the good of the company.

Soren: Well, now. Shall we get on with our business? You're looking more
beautiful than ever, Miss Aimee. A true delight for the eyes.
Aimee: Ooo... Now you're talking, you little lady-killer!
Soren: I know you won't discount the goods to nothing, since it's coming from
me. So... How about you cut your prices down by three-quarters?
Aimee: Ooh... Decisions, decisions.
Soren: You're a diamond, and other beorc only glass beads, Miss Aimee. I'll
buy more than enough to justify the discount.
Aimee: Half price, maybe.
Soren: A touch less than three-quarters, then. What do you say, rose of
Tellius? O goddess of desire?
Aimee: All right, you win! Just this time, mind you. Take this.
Soren: Ah, a Silver Card. I can buy everything for half price at all of the
shops?
Aimee: That's right. Remember what I said, though. It's a limited-time deal.
I'll have to take it away soon. Oh, and while you own this card, you won't be

Ike: Well, I do pay him plenty for them.
Titania: Soren said this mission would fail without help from the Phoenicis
Army. We're asking you to take a very big risk, King Tibarn.
Tibarn: We can handle it. We can do anything if it involves teaching those
vermin in Begnion a thing or two.
Ranulf: Soren has even answered some of Skrimir's more insane requests. He
doesn't listen to a word I say, but when Soren talks strategy, he's all ears.
Ike: Is that why he hasn't been complaining during the briefings?
Ranulf: He says he looks forward to what the little strategist will say next.
It looks to me like Soren's charmed his way into the most powerful position in
this army.
Titania: I'm glad to hear it. He's changed, hasn't he?
Ranulf: Yeah, I think so. He still doesn't say much, but he's a lot more at
ease these days. He used to be completely closed off, rejecting anyone who
tried to get close. Like he'd lock himself away, all alone in his own little
world.
Ike: We all lost and gained something during the Mad King's War. Maybe it
wasn't a complete waste, after all.
Ranulf: Do you think we'll feel the same way about this war when it's over?

Ike: A blue gem?
Aimee: You heard what the man said. I'm supposed to pay you instead.
Ike: You're paying us? I'm very confused. I'd assumed that Shinon owed you
money, or something.
Aimee: No, no. Nothing like that. This is what I owe him for-- Oops, he told
me not to say.
Ike: Aimee? I'm getting scared again.
Aimee: All right, fine. It's a payment for a bow.
Ike: A bow?
Aimee: I paid a lot for a bow he made me. I'm going to offer it as a
one-of-a-kind item at the shop.
Ike: Right... Is that why Rolf is making bows now? He mentioned something
about bows being good income in emergencies.
Aimee: Probably. Rolf is learning from a good teacher, but he's still no match
for the master himself.
Ike: Rolf is Shinon's student?
Aimee: Oh, dang. You think that was a secret, too?
Ike: How should I know? Shinon wouldn't tell me that he smelled smoke if I was
on fire.
Aimee: Well... I don't think Shinon likes people. Especially you, for some
reason. I wonder why he came back to you after he left the Greil Mercenaries
during the war?
Ike: Shinon likes our little group. I know that much. This is probably his way
of trying to help us be less broke.
Aimee: You think so? Why wouldn't he just come out and say so? He's so strange
like that.
Ike: I'll keep this conversation a secret. I don't want to risk losing Shinon
by putting him on the defensive about all this.

did you end up passing through Crimea and then coming here?
Haar: I stopped to chew some fat during a delivery. That's all.

Haar: Last I heard, she got mixed up with the army again, fighting for Daein's
emancipation.
Ike: I see. Don't you think you ought to go back to Daein and give her some

Haar: She's a big girl now. She doesn't need me always lookin over her
shoulder. Jill can do whatever she wants.
Ike: I don't understand. I thought you two were... You know. Living under the

to give it to you.
Nolan: Micaiah, look... I know how hard it is to be a commander, especially

Man: Hey, did you hear? The Imperial Army is requesting Crimea's assistance.
Youth: Yeah, I heard! I also heard that the messenger treated our queen with
no respect at all! Who do they think they are!?
Lady: Shhh! Not so loud! Begnion is ruled by the apostle. They helped us when
Daein invaded. It's only right that we pay back the favor by coming to their
aid.
Man: But Begnion is fighting the beast tribes of Gallia. Why would we fight
Gallia? The beast tribes helped us rebuild Crimea.
Youth (2): That's true, but come on! Think about it. Who would you rather
side with? A land of beorc, or the land of sub... laguz? The answer's as plain
as day. We side with the beorc.
Man: Hmm... You have a point.
Youth: I'd choose Gallia over Begnion.
Lady: Really?
Youth (2): But why?
Youth: The people of Gallia helped us rebuild the village, even though we're
beorc. They even repaired the road to the farm that's up on the mountain.
That wasn't an easy job, either.
Lady: Yes, I remember. What was his name... Mordecai? He was strong, yet
very kind. He looked frightening at first, but the children in the village
loved to play with him. He was a wonderful man.
Man: If the queen decides to answer Begnion's request for troops, we'd
have to fight Gallia. How terrible would that be?
Youth (2): That's war, isn't it?
Man: Yes. I suppose it is, at that.
Lady: Hmm.

ten or a hundred imperial soldiers, you should probably go do it.
Makalov: Yeah... We've been ordered to mobilize, and I can't think of any

Makalov: I don't know about all this. Fighting the Imperial Army means
fighting my old comrades. I don't wanna fight my old friends. You know what I

supposed to do? Am I supposed to stand back and let all of Daein perish? Is
that the "just" thing to do?

Micaiah: It's a satori sign. What about it?
Skrimir: I found a patch of ground that was emitting light, so I started
digging. This was what I found.
Micaiah: Oh, so that's it...
Skrimir: You buried it?
Micaiah: No, but I saw a vision in a dream. Rays of light fell from the sky,

Rafiel: Mmph.
Ike: What's wrong, Prince Rafiel? Are you feeling sick?
Rafiel: ...No. I am all right. Thank you, though.
Ike: ...You're a real puzzle, you know that?
Rafiel: Why do you say that?
Ike: You look a lot like your brother Reyson, but you're nothing like him.
Reyson looks delicate, but on the inside he's all iron. You, on the other
hand... I don't know. I worry that I might kill you if I shout too loud or
something.
Rafiel: ...I'm sorry.
Ike: See? That's exactly what I mean! You should get mad at me for saying
that, not say "I'm sorry." I mean, come on!
Rafiel: I-I apologize.
Ike: There you go again! What I mean is that--
Nailah: That's enough, Ike. Rafiel is everything that herons are expected to
be: quiet, elegant, and delicate. Those are words people use to describe
herons, and he fits all three.
Ike: Yeah, well... None of those words fit Reyson.
Nailah: True. Maybe Princess Leanne is only so innocent and sweet because
she was asleep for twenty years. Prince Reyson certainly doesn't seem to have
any of the characteristics herons are known for.
Ike: King Tibarn did mention that "real" herons are more like Prince Rafiel.
Nailah: Prince Reyson spent a long time in the care of the hawk tribe. No
doubt he's picked up all sorts of quirks. Thank goodness Reyson hasn't
picked up Tibarn's speech or mannerisms, though. It would be completely
ridiculous. Can you imagine a man with Reyson's looks, talking and acting like
Tibarn? I don't think I could help but laugh at him.
Ike: Well, he told me he wanted to be just like King Tibarn. He admires Tibarn
a great deal.
Rafiel: Reyson said that?
Ike: Yeah. What about you?
Rafiel: Well... Sure, it'd be nice to be a bit more like Tibarn, I suppose.
Ike: Well, it looks like you guys really are brothers after all.
Nailah: Ike, be quiet. You're a bad influence! I won't allow Rafiel to be
tainted like that.

Tibarn: A satori sign... Don't see these very often. It's a good find. But
blast it, Reyson, why didn't you wake me up?
Reyson: I didn't know what I would find. Besides, you looked so comfortable.
Tibarn: Hm. I didn't even notice you'd snuck out. I can't believe a heron
snuck by me...
Reyson: Even heroes need their sleep to keep fighting, Tibarn. Where's the
harm in sleeping? I know that you haven't had a good night's rest since the

Ike: No, that's fine. I would have been confused either way. I didn't know you
could speak the ancient language.
Nailah: It's Hatari's common language. I would never have known about the
Tellius language if I hadn't met Rafiel.
Ike: The Tellius language?
Nailah: You don't know? The language we are using right now is called the
Tellius language. You call it modern speech, I suppose.
Ike: Oh, I see.
Nailah: Long ago, beorc created the Old Tongue. The ancient speech is what we
laguz call it. The language was too difficult for the laguz to master. So the
language of Tellius was created in its place.
Ike: Huh. I've never heard that before. The only people I'm aware of who know
the ancient speech are the heron laguz. I think Nasir of Goldoa said he could
read it. Among beorc, only mages know how to use it, and that's only for
spells.
Nailah: Well, the laguz who live a long time, such as dragons and herons, have
all the time in the world to learn it. Beorc probably left the ancient speech
behind in favor of a newer and improved language, with the exception of spells.
Ike: That makes sense, I suppose. Mordecai once told me that speech lets you
avoid fighting when it's not a good idea. He said that's why it's a good idea
to know many languages.
Nailah: Did he, now? Volug, did you hear that? You can learn the language of
Tellius with Mordecai.
Volug: ...I will... I... will try.
Nailah: He understands what you're saying, for the most part. It's the
speaking that's the hard part for him.

ancient speech.

Renning: Let's take it outside, then. Perhaps I'll remind you why you have
never won a match against me.

Stefan: ...What can I do for you, Goddess Yune?
Yune: You're very strange. What are you?
Stefan: That's a strange question, especially coming from you. Didn't you
create all of us?
Yune: I didn't create anything. Not laguz nor beorc. But I know what they are,
because I've watched them change and grow over time. You... You're not
something I've seen before.
Stefan: I'm the same as the girl you dwell inside.
Yune: Ohhh... I thought Micaiah was the only one. She could hear my voice and
sing the galdr of release. But I learned that others existed. There's that boy
who's always with Ike. Or that little girl who stays by the queen of Crimea.
Stefan: There are several in my village, as well. They are my comrades. We all
live under the same fate... and carry the same curse in our blood.
Yune: When you say these words, what do they mean? Why are you cursed?
Stefan: It means that we carry the blood of both beorc and laguz. Beorc call
us Branded, and laguz call us parentless.
Yune: Does that mean your parents are beorc and laguz?
Stefan: Not always. It means that laguz and beorc mixed blood somewhere along
the line. Beorc and laguz rarely associate in that way. For them to conceive
a child together is an even rarer event. What's strange is that the child
bears no laguz characteristics. It's just a normal beorc infant. However, the
laguz blood lies asleep, waiting, in the child's veins.
Yune: Oh...
Stefan: One day, the laguz blood shows itself, marking the child's body with
a brand. How old is that girl, hmm? I don't think she's as young as she looks.
The other curse is that we age differently from beorc. It depends on what
laguz blood the child has, but it always slows how fast we age.
Yune: Micaiah says that's true. She's listening to every word you say. Please,
continue.
Stefan: The laguz blood gives the Branded unnatural powers. Beorc fear and
distrust us because they can't understand those abilities. The laguz are even
worse. They treat us like we're phantoms, refusing to acknowledge us, as if
we don't even exist.
Yune: I see...
Stefan: It's easy to hide among beorcs. You just cover the brand, avoid
getting close to anyone, and never settle down. Pretending you're normal. The
laguz are different. They can sense what we are... They have an instinct for
it. Not all laguz know for sure, but the sharp ones figure it out instantly.
Others just feel uneasy around us. Some never figure it out, but they're
surrounded by oens who do. Either way, the laguz would never talk to us
voluntarily. Why would you pay attention to someone who doesn't even exist?
Yune: Why? That doesn't make any sense. How did things get like that?
Stefan: I would like to know that as well. It's said that a union between the
laguz and beorc is a crime against the goddess. That's what we've always been
told.
Yune: That's silly. I've never heard anything of the sort.
Stefan: ...Heh... Heheh... Hahahahaha...!
Yune: Why are you laughing?
Stefan: It's all been a lie! For hundreds of years, we've faced persecution,
abuse, and isolation. And for what? A lie! What's not to laugh about, huh?
Hahaha...

Insult me! Do anything, but you have to hate me!

life to save you and his little nephew. Did you know that? He decided to
sacrifice himself to protect you. I can't blame you for what Rajaion decided

years, I believe.
Almedha: Nasir... You returned to Goldoa?
Nasir: Yes.
Kurthnaga: Nasir, I need to know something. Why has Goldoa sided with Goddess
Ashera!? What is Father thinking? The laguz and beorc have joined together to
save the petrified. Why hasn't Goldoa joined the effort?
Nasir: As you wish. Lady Almedha... Are you aware of the fact that everything
that's happening is due to your decision to leave Goldoa?
Almedha: ...What?
Kurthnaga: Explain, Nasir.
Nasir: King Dheginsea forbade the dragon tribe to use our transformation for
the purpose of war. Almedha, you left because you did not agree with this
policy, did you not?
Almedha: That's right.
Nasir: Shortly after you left Goldoa, you met Ashnard in Daein and were united
with him. However, your union begat a chain of tragedies. Did you know that
the red dragon platoon which went in search of you was captured and turned
into Feral Ones by King Ashnard?
Almedha: I-I had no idea.
Nasir: Ashnard needed Goldoa to get involved in his war. That's why he did
everything in his power to provoke King Dheginsea. Most of you have never
fought in a war, but even more than other laguz, the dragon tribe loses
control once they taste battle.
Kurthnaga: Oh...
Nasir: Near the end of the war, we found out that Prince Rajaion could not be
saved. I thought the king would surely go on a rampage. At the time, we had
no idea that Lady Almedha was still alive. The king thought he'd lost not
only his dragon soldiers but also his children.
Ena: ...
Nasir: If the war had ended any later... Had Ike not killed Ashnard... Goldoa
would have joined the war. And we would have started killing. We would have
destroyed the Daein army, its coconspirators, everyone. We would not have
stopped until the continent was ashes. Then the spirit of chaos would have
spread across Tellius, awakening the goddess and destroying the dragon
tribe. That was the danger we faced in the Mad King's War.
Kurthnaga: ...
Ena: But Ashnard was defeated. And Rajaion regained his sanity thanks to the
songs of the heron clan.
Almedha: Sniff... Bwuah... Sniff...
Nasir: We escaped annihilation once. We took Prince Rajaion's body back to
Goldoa. And the king did not shed a tear, nor fly into a rage. He endured
his loss by himself. He endured for the sake of his last child, and for the
sake of his people. Goldoa remained neutral.
Kurthnaga: Father...
Nasir: But now... All that effort has been wasted. The war between the Laguz
Alliance and Begnion has spread through Daein and Crimea. And to top it all
off, Goldoa can no longer stay neutral because of what Prince Kurthnaga has
done!
Kurthnaga: You're saying this is my fault...!? That I've started a war that
my father tried to avoid?
Almedha: No, Kurthnaga! This was my fault. You fought because of me.
Ena: This was not Prince Kurth's fault! Besides, the goddess Yune was not
awakened by chaos sweeping across Tellius. She was awakened by the galdr of
release!
Nasir: By a galdr!? Are you certain?
Ena: Yes. That was what Sir Ike said.
Nasir: That's... very strange. Nevertheless, the end result remains the same.
Goddess Ashera has rendered her judgment. The laguz and beorc must follow her
decision.
Ena: What...!? Nasir!
Nasir: I've come here as a favor to the king. Prince Kurthnaga, you have to
return to us. At once.
Kurthnaga: If we just accept Ashera's judgment, we'll all be turned to stone!
That's the end of history as we know it! Do you expect me to just lie down
and accept that? How can I? What you're asking is insanity! I won't do it.
Nasir: And you, Ena?
Ena: I feel the same as Prince Kurth.
Nasir: Then I have nothing more to say to you. However, I hope to avoid
fighting my own people if at all possible.
Ena: Nasir...
Almedha: ...What will you do on the battlefield, Kurth? Will you face your
father as an enemy?
Kurthnaga: ...I will do whatever I have to.

Requirements: None
Receive: Urvan (Axe)

Caineghis: Ike. I have something to give you.
Ike: Hey, this is...
Caineghis: It's called Urvan, if I remember correctly. I borrowed it from
your father's grave.
Ike: Why?
Caineghis: Honestly? I have no idea. But I felt a sudden urge to visit Greil's
grave on the morning of our journey. When I told Giffca my idea for a little
side trip, he said he thought the same thing.
Giffca: I believe we were guided to your father's grave by a divine message
from the goddess.
Caineghis: When I saw your father's axe, I was convinced that I had to take it
to you. I felt that's what your father would have wanted.
Ike: ...Maybe he and my mother are looking over us from somewhere else. All
right. It's my father's, so it's only right that I take it.

Requirements: Volke must be recruited and alive
Receive: 20,000 Gold

Ike: Volke...?
Volke: Over here.
Ike: Looking for you is still like trying to find spilled ink at night.
Volke: It's part of the job. Anyways... You've grown quite a bit since the
last time I saw you.
Ike: Everyone loves telling me that.
Volke: You're starting to look like Greil.
Ike: That might be true, too. He IS my dad. I didn't expect to see you here.
Did someone from this camp hire you?
Volke: Sure did.
Ike: I see. It's good to have you on our side under any circumstances. Why
did you call me over?
Volke: I have to return something to you.
Ike: What the...!? What's all this money for?
Volke: It's the 50,000 gold you paid me the last time around. Well, minus my
pay, expenses, and that sort of thing, of course.
Ike: Even so, there's a lot here.
Volke: Well, the contract ended sooner than expected, I guess.
Ike: You did a lot for us back then. I didn't even get a chance to thank you.
Volke: It was a job. There's no need to thank me.
Ike: I know. But if you hadn't told me the story of my father, I would never
have known about his past. So thanks, Volke.
Volke: Uh, yeah, so, anyhow... You have your money back. See you later.
Ike: Did he really just get embarrassed because I thanked him? What a weird
guy.

Sothe: Are you all right, Micaiah?
Micaiah: Yes, I'm fine. How about you, Sothe? Are you all right? You're not
hurt?
Sothe: I'm not a child, Micaiah! When are you going to start treating me like
an adult?
Micaiah: Show me your hand.
Sothe: What?
Micaiah: Look at your hands. They're so big... They were so small when we met.
Sothe: Micaiah...
Ike: Ahh... Sorry. Am I interrupting something?
Sothe: C-Commander!
Micaiah: It's all right, Ike. How can we help you?
Ike: I was scrounging around in my stuff and found some extra medicine. I
figured I'd ask around and see if anyone needed it.
Sothe: ...I need to go get ready.
Ike: Hey, there's no rush. We still have... He didn't catch a word of that,
did he?
Micaiah: I'm sorry about that.
Ike: How long have you been with him?
Micaiah: ...A long time. I met him when I was hiding out in the back alleys
of Nevassa, over ten years ago. He was so skinny, but his gaze was so
piercing... I wondered how such a young boy could look like that. One day,
I noticed he was standing close to me, just watching. He continued like that
for a few days. One day, I held out my hand. He was suspicious of me, but
came over anyway. He looked like a scared animal. Then his little hand
slipped into mine. It was shaking. His fingers were so thin and frail. I
couldn't let go after that. After that, we traveled together all over the
continent. No matter where we went, we were always together.
Ike: The first time I met him, he'd hidden on a ship we were taking. He
mentioned he was looking for someone who was like family to him. It was you
he was searching for, wasn't it?
Micaiah: I... I tried to leave him behind. When we went to Crimea, I split
off from him and took a ship to Begnion. But when I reached Begnion, war had
broken out between Crimea and Daein. I knew I had to return to Daein to look
for him. I couldn't find him, so I went to Crimea. But I still couldn't
find him... We found each other again after the war, in Daein. In the back
alleys of Nevassa, where we first met.
Ike: You took routes opposite of each other.
Micaiah: When I told him why I'd disappeared, he got so angry... I'd never
seen him get so emotional before.
Ike: I can't say that I blame him. I'd be pretty furious if I heard someone
that I loved was wandering around two countries at war. Besides, I'm sure
he'd hidden his feelings about being abandoned until he saw you again.
Micaiah: I thought I was reaching the limit of how long I could stay with
him. He grew each and every day, but I remained the same... I didn't want
him to be harmed by the curse I lived with. Can you imagine how hard that
would have been on him?
Ike: You mean the blood of the laguz?
Micaiah: So you knew. Did you find out from the boy who's always beside you?
Ike: Soren. Yeah. I guess you both know how to recognize people with a
similar nature.
Micaiah: Yes. He and I are both Branded.
Ike: ...Don't use that word. You and Soren are both people. Just like me and
everyone else.
Micaiah: People. You're just like Yune. You call both laguz and beorcs
"people."
Ike: Why should I care about the color of your hair, eyes, and skin? Or
your ears, wings, or tail? No matter how long you live or what powers you
possess, we're the same. At the end of the day, we're all people.
Micaiah: ...Sothe talks that way, too. His time with you changed him. Thank
you, Ike. I've made up my mind.
Ike: About what? I didn't realize we were doing anything but talking.
Micaiah: I thought I might travel to a far-off place after all of this was
over. But I won't. I'll go back to Daein. No matter what happens, I'll have
Sothe by my side. I have nothing to fear as long as he's with me.
Ike: It seems the feelings between you two run both ways. But that's
probably the wisest choice for Daein, and for Sothe. Anyway...
Micaiah: Oh, um... May I have some medicine?
Ike: Oh! Yeah, I almost forgot. Survive, Micaiah. We need you, and the
goddess you host, to save the people of Tellius.
Micaiah: Yes. I know.

Name: Sanaki
Importance: ***
Requirements: None
Receive: Pavise (Skill)

Sanaki: Zelgius is the Black Knight? I don't know what to say... It's
unbelievable!
Ike: What was he like in Begnion?
Sanaki: He was the right-hand man of my most trusted aid, Duke Sephiran of
Persis. He was a hero, a perfect general, and the best swordsman in all of
Tellius. He was never anything but loyal. But he was serving another country!
Ike: Hmm. It makes me wonder how Sephiran is doing.
Sanaki: I doubt he's been turned to stone. Even though he was captured by
Lekain and forcibly removed from his post, he'll have found a way to
persevere. Sigrun always said there's no other master of the arcane arts who
can compare with the duke of Persis.
Ike: Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Sanaki: Ike... Don't tell me you suspect Sephiran!
Ike: Well, look at the facts...
Sanaki: Do not trouble your mind with that thought! He would never betray me.
Ike: It's nice to think so. But if he's not petrified, he'd have received a
message from Yune. So where is he?
Sanaki: The goddess isn't perfect. She said so herself! Maybe the message
didn't reach everyone.
Ike: ...You have to admit that's a weak excuse. Let's leave it at that, for
now. We need to focus on moving forward.
Sanaki: Please, let's! Oh, I almost forgot! I have something for you.
Ike: What is it?
Sanaki: Um... Uh... Well, you're my trusted aide, just like Sephiran. You
have to live! So protect yourself with this.
Ike: A mercenary with a contract to act as aide to the empress of Begnion.
Who'd have thought? But thank you, Sanaki.
Sanaki: You're welcome, Ike. And thank you.
