散策・戦乱の幕開け
Byleth: …
Dimitri
I'll kill her…
Dimitri: … I'll have that girl's head. Just you wait…
Claude
The Empire is moving quickly...
Claude: The Empire is moving quickly. Edelgard must have been preparing for this for a while now. If you really think about it, she must have been planning for this even before you got the Sword of the Creator… Of course she was always a step ahead of us. We were blinded by the ball and the Battle of the Eagle and Lion, and everything else…
Ferdinand
What now?
Ferdinand: Half of the Empire's six great noble families have declared their support for Edelgard. Of the other three, Lord Vestra was assassinated. Hubert, his son, will succeed him. Bernadetta's father, Count Varley, is under house arrest. His wife is now supporting Edelgard. And my father…he was stripped of his role as prime minister. As as result, House Aegir has lost all of its power, all of its land. We have lost everything. I…I… What do I do?
Linhardt
It occurs to me...
Linhardt: The most important nobles in the Empire are known for taking power from the previous emperor, my father included. I didn't think it possible that the Imperial princess could ascend the throne so easily. However, it seems that both my father and Caspar's are supporting Edelgard... Having both the Minister of Domestic Affairs and Minister of Military Affairs on your side gives you total control over the Empire's military and finances. They must have been making preparations for quite some time without anyone noticing...
Caspar
This doesn't feel right...
Caspar: I don't normally have a problem jumping into a fight, but it feels strange going up against my father. We aren't especially close, but he's not an opponent I'd want to face. I'd almost rather fight a monster! I hope he's not part of the group coming to attack Garreg Mach...
Bernadetta
What does this war mean for us?
Bernadetta: What does war with Edelgard mean for us, Professor? And why does she even want that?
Byleth:
Choice 1: I don't know.
Bernadetta: Yeah, I guess we'd have to ask her.
Choice 2: She seems to think force is the only way.
Bernadetta: I wonder why she'd think that...
Bernadetta: That's how it always goes, I guess. You never realize something can't be undone until you've done it.
Dorothea
Edie... Our own Edie...
Dorothea: Edelgard became emperor and raised an army, huh? Who knew the kid had it in her? I mean, yeah, of course, I knew she'd be emperor eventually, but... The more I think about it, the more surprised I am. I wonder who's going to win...
Byleth:
Choice 1: Us or her, you mean? (Relationship with Dorothea up)
Dorothea: You're really worried about Edelgard, aren't you, Professor?
Choice 2: We will not lose.
Dorothea: Thinking about it makes me scared. We're up against the entire Imperial army! Still, I know someone as smart as you will figure something out...
Petra
Hmm...
Petra: I have had the arrival of a letter from Edelgard. She is asking...that I join her side. She is making the decision...no, she is deciding if Brigid is a friend or an enemy of the Empire. But my choice is not to be friends. My choice is to fight with you. Brigid is not a friend of the Empire. We will not be following again. We will be ready to fight with you instead.
Dedue
If His Highness wills it...
Dedue: His Highness calls for the head of Edelgard. For me, that is cause enough to fight.
Byleth:
Choice 1: Why would Dimitri say that?
Dedue: His Highness would not say. But I can think of only one explanation. She must have been involved in the Tragedy of Duscur.
Choice 2: That is against the teachings of the goddess.
Dedue: Perhaps. But it is too late to stop him now.
Choice 3: You're truly all right with that? (Relationship with Dedue up)
Dedue: The hatred of His Highness is also my hatred. Any other feelings I may have are irrelevant.
Dedue: And if Edelgard was responsible in any way for the Tragedy of Duscur, that is something I cannot ignore. If that is the case, then she is my enemy.
Felix
She's starting an all-out war.
Felix: That girl's starting an all-out war, isn't she? But an enemy is an enemy, no matter who they are. Don't let compassion for her get in your way.
Ashe and Annette
Ashe: What's going to happen to us?
Annette: We'll fight too...
Annette: Once the Imperial army reaches the monastery, we'll have no choice but to fight...
Ashe: What's going to happen to us?
Byleth:
Choice 1: Everything will be all right. (Relationship with Ashe up)
Ashe: I believe you. With the knights on our side, and especially with you, Professor, I know we can do this!
Choice 2: I can't say for sure.
Annette: Oh. Well, we'll just have to try our best.
Sylvain
But...why?
Sylvain: Things must be pretty crazy in Faerghus about now. My father must be beside himself. I don't get it. Why did Edelgard make enemies with the nobles?
Byleth:
Choice 1: I have no idea. (Relationship with Sylvain up)
Sylvain: Me either.... Of course, even if we did get it, what do we do about it?
Choice 2: For the sake of her ideals?
Sylvain: Ideals she believes in so much she was willing to start a war over them? Those must be some lofty ideals, to say the least.
Mercedes
I guess we have no choice...
Mercedes: I guess we have no choice but to fight, have we? Oh, but why would Edelgard do something like this? I'm sure we'll be all right though, Professor. The goddess will keep us safe.
Ingrid
She was so composed.
Ingrid: To think that the Flame Emperor was Edelgard all along... Flayn's abduction, Jeralt's murder, the turmoil in Remire Village... Whether or not she was the mastermind behind what happened, it at least seems like she was involved. And yet she was able to remain so composed while she was enrolled in the Officer's Academy.
Lorenz
Do we stand a chance?
Lorenz: The Empire's aggression cannot stand. But if we are going to attack them now, we must be honest with ourselves about our chances of success. It goes without saying that I will fight the Imperial army with everything I have, for as long as I am able. But House Gloucester's territory is adjacent to Imperial lands. Let us proceed with caution.
Raphael
These muscles aren't just for show!
Raphael: I hear the Alliance's territory will be in danger if we don't get rid of these Empire guys! If the Alliance is in danger, that means my sister's in danger too! There's no way I'm gonna allow that. It doesn't matter how many guys they throw at us, I'll beat 'em all! These muscles aren't just for show! But first, I gotta get some food.
Ignatz
I will protect it!
Ignatz: You know, Professor, I'm glad that I came to the Officers Academy. I feel accepted here. I've learned so much. Honestly, I'm surprised at how much I've grown. So, I will not let the academy be destroyed. It's important to me, and I will protect it!
Byleth:
Choice 1: I feel the same. (Relationship with Ignatz up)
Ignatz: I feel braver just hearing you say that, Professor.
Choice 2: Don't do anything rash.
Ignatz: I'll try to keep a cleaRhead, but there won't be any turning back for me. I don't want to have regrets.
Ignatz: We're gonna win this, Professor!
Lysithea
You'd better be cautious.
Lysithea: So Edelgard, the one who calls herself the Flame Emperor, was connected to those strange beings. The Imperial army might be using even more terrifying methods than we know. You had better be cautious, Professor. Any amount of carelessness might prove to be our undoing.
Can we win?
Marianne: Can we really defeat someone who is willing to turn their back on the world just to uphold their own beliefs? I've spent my whole life running in fear, and now...I...
Byleth:
Choice 1: We can win this together.
Marianne: Surely we can win if we rely on each other. Right, Professor?
Choice 2: We can't win if you run. (Relationship with Marianne up)
Marianne: You're right. It's time to stop running. I'll fight with everything I've got!
Hilda
The future looks dark.
If Hilda has not been recruited
Hilda: You'll battle Edelgard, right? Good luck! Me? Oh, I'm going to run away. I have zero interest in dying here, thank you very much.
If Hilda has been recruited
Hilda: At times like this, I just feel so anxious, you know? But you'll watch out for me there. Right, Professor?
Leonie
What's she trying to achieve?
Leonie: What is Edelgard even trying to achieve? She wants to destroy the church so badly that she'll take on anyone who doesn't fall in line? I don't get it.
Byleth:
Choice 1: Her ideals are in conflict with yours. (Relationship with Leonie up)
Choice 2: It's a hard thing to accept.
Leonie: I just can't believe she'd start a war over it. Not to mention using such nasty tactics to get her way. Could Captain Jeralt's death have also been a part of her plan? Don't you go and die on me, Professor. Captain Jeralt would never forgive you.
Rhea
How are you?
Rhea: How are you, Professor? Any new changes to report? With the Imperial army drawing near, it is most vexing that we cannot relax and converse as we once did... Thankfully, you have the divine protection of the goddess on your side. Please try to listen carefully for her voice...
Byleth:
Choice 1: I will try. (Relationship with Rhea up)
Choice 2: I can't hear a thing.
Rhea: Please do not say such sad things. I am certain you will hear her in time.
Rhea: May the goddess's voice reach you…
Seteth
We must protect this place.
Seteth: We must protect Garreg Mach. Defiling the Holy Tomb was a sacrilege. I will not allow such a thing to happen again. The archbishop has already given you a new responsibility. I want you to rise to that honor.
Flayn
Another war...
Flayn: Professor… War is breaking out again, is it not?
Byleth:
Choice 1: Again?
Flayn: There was a truly terrible war, once upon a time.
Choice 2: I want to stop it if I can.
Flayn: An honorable notion. Do you think there is something to be done? Whatever shall we do?
Flayn: I never wanted another war… All we can do is steel ourselves for the fight ahead.
Alois
To think...
Alois: Well, perhaps it's pointless to get upset about the past. My duty now is to prepare for battle. We're depending on your strength, Professor. Crush our enemies!
Byleth:
Choice 1: I'll try
Choice 2: I'm depending on you. (Relationship with Alois up)
Alois: Captain, I hope you're watching! We will protect Garreg Mach!
Catherine
We've got to win.
Catherine: Ugh. If I could go back to last month and throttle my carefree self! Now it turns out Edelgard is the Flame Emperor, and the new Adrestian emperor! And she's striking out against the monastery, with the full force of the Imperial army behind her. We gotta beat her at her own game! For our sake as well as Lady Rhea's...
Shamir
We must prepare.
Shamir: We're falling behind. I don't know that we can keep up with the new emperor. To think that she was able to raise an army of that size right under our noses... However hard we fight, I give us a 50 percent chance of winning. The enemy has too many advantages. We must make careful preparations.
Gilbert
That it would come to this...
Gilbert: There are always small power struggles, still... It has been hundreds of years since all of Fódlan was consumed by war. I didn't actually think it would come to this... I feel as though I'm not in my rightful place. I cannot protect the things I should... Professor. If I survive this war, I wish to return to my homeland... To the land of my king.
Hanneman
The Empire's aim…
Hanneman: The Holy Tomb held many Crest Stones. This is the first time I've heard of Crest Stones being hidden away in such a place… But more importantly, I'm interested to know the Empire's aim. Why would their army desire Crest Stones? There is power there, yes. And yet… I must think on this. The Crest Stones lie at the heart of the events surrounding Conand Tower and the chapel as well… And of course, the Crest Stones somehow transformed those traitors and their captives into Demonic Beasts… Could that possibly be their aim?! The Empire's army may well plan to use Crest Stones to create Demonic Beasts!
Manuela
Wow...
Manuela: The mastermind behind the attacks on the monastery was Edelgard? Wow. Doesn't make much sense though, does it? There would need to be all sorts of territories and groups tangled up in this sort of mess… Eh, I'm gonna stop. I don't really have the head for this political stuff. Mostly I'm worried about my old opera company. I wonder what's happening in the capital right now. I hope they're safe…
Cyril
I don't get it...
Cyril: It's my job to protect Lady Rhea. I've gotta do it. and I gotta do it as best I can. And if that means I gotta die for her, then I will. Ugh, how could Edelgard treat Lady Rhea like she's the bad guy? She's never been anything but nice to everybody! I just don't get it at all…
Gatekeeper
Something's amiss!
Gatekeeper: Greetings Professor! Something to report! Unexpected, isn't it? Apparently, this is the first time Garreg Mach has been invaded in its whole 995-year history! It's my job to protect this gate, so even if enemies come in droves, I will never let them through! I hope we both survive… Let's battle with all our might and pray we win this thing!
Knight of Seiros in the Entrance Hall
I can't believe it.
Knight of Seiros: I cannot believe our negligence allowed the Empire to invade. Edelgard probably gathered her soldiers in Garreg Mach, intending to do this from the start. Soldiers disguised as merchants and pilgrims to avoid suspicion…infiltration the entire area little by little. They couldn't be better prepared. We'll have a tough time winning this one, I'm afraid.
Student in the Black Eagles classroom
What happened?
At the start of the day
Student: Professor! What actually happened last month? I can't keep up at all. Edelgard is the emperor? And she's declared war against the church? So now we're at war?! WHAT is going on? I really don't understand any of this… What should I do?
Student at the Training Grounds
I wasn't expecting this.
Student: I thought we'd all be really busy with assignments and getting ready for graduation. But now… Now that things have turned out like this, I guess there's nothing to do but fight…
Monk outside Reception Hall
Those who serve the church...
Monk: Those who serve the church must cast aside all selfish desires and devote themselves fully to their beliefs. But is it right to wield piety as a weapon? I…have never considered such things before. The church… I… I have always done what I thought best to save the people of Fódlan…
Monk in the Cathedral
How dare they!
Monk: How dare they threaten the goddess! Such a vile act cannot be forgiven! There is no need to worry, I promise you that. Divine punishment will surely fall upon them. In the days of yore, the goddess would grow angry with such insolent fools and roast them in Ailell…
Explore: Abyss
Yuri
They'll just have to deal with the outcome.
Yuri: So this is how it's turned out. I figured as much, but I didn't anticipate it would happen so soon. If Garreg Mach becomes a battlefield, Abyss will have no choice but to get involved. Everyone here will have no alternative. They've got nowhere else to go.
Balthus
Let's give 'em a fight to remember!
Balthus: I could smell a war brewing, and sure enough, here we are. Hmm... If Fódlan falls onto chaos, I wonder if my debts will fall away along with it... Heh, just thinking aloud here. If the Empire wants a fight, let's give 'em one to remember!
Constance
It shakes me to my core that the Empire would lash out so violently. I shall have to reconsider my intended path towards restoring House Nuvelle. Still, I could not in good conscience fight without speaking to her first...
Hapi
War will make things even harder.
Hapi: Lots of people in Abyss are already struggling to get by. War will make things even harder for us. We're sure to run out of food and other supplies, and there will probably be refugees to take care of. Not to mention what might happen if the Empire takes over and decides to redecorate.
Abysskeeper and Knight of Seiros
Abysskeeper: Hey, you. Listen up. I've got something to report. Aww, guess who was worried about Abyss and came by to check on me. I mean, on us. Isn't that nice? That's just...so nice.
Knight of Seiros: My pleasure. Surely the church can spare one knight to help you watch over this place.
Abysskeeper: I'm not crying! I'm just...just don't worry about it, OK?! Move it along!
Rogue
War's actually coming, isn't it?
Rogue: War's actually coming, isn't it? Unbelievable. Imperial troops in Garreg Mach? It's gonna be wild. Whatever happens won't affect us down here in Abyss, though... Will it?
Magic Wielder
I'm leaving Garreg Mach. You should too.
Magic Wielder: This might be our last chance to get out of here. I'm leaving Garreg Mach. You should too. Protect the students? Have you got a death wish?! All right, all right. Uh, take this...and try not to get killed.

Quests
Eagle Eye (Seteth)
Receiving Quest
Seteth: We have been scouting the makeup of the Imperial army, but much is still unclear. Any information you could provide would be a great help
Quest Completion
Seteth: Interesting… It's true that a lot more people have been coming and going as of late. Hmm, perhaps we could secure new information if we capture someone from the Imperial army. Thank you. That is quite helpful.
