"This is my world, and Zeke's as well. I won't allow you to endanger it!" - Tatiana

As first king of the One Kingdom of Valentia, Alm spent his life restoring the continent to glory. He would be remembered fondly by later generations as Saint-King Alm I, who cast off the gods' oppressive yoke and founded a dynasty that would last a thousand years. — End

"Anthiese, you made me a promise, remember? You promised not to throw your life away again." - Conrad "I'm sorry, Conrad. I'm sorry, everyone. Please forgive me… I can't tell you how much it means to me that we've come so far together." - Celica "Anthiese!"

"Ladies, am I right? They just looove to get the last word in. … When I found out all women share that trait, my poor heart sank. …Eh? How can I be so sure it's ALL women? How can you even ask that?! I've been to a town! I've seen, like, a dozen women! Hell, maybe more!" - Gray

"Stop it, Clive. You're no craven." - Alm "Aren't I? … I criticized you roundly for diverting our army to save one person. But you did it anyway because you have something I do not—strength of heart. You understand what is precious and fight for it no matter the cost." - Clive

March

"On that day, I will have to aid you in striking down Emperor Rudolf. I know it to be his wish, yet still I wonder if that makes us in the right. The emperor was convinced you would be the one to save Valentia. … I believe in you, Alm. Know that, if nothing else." - Zeke

"Alm… I've dreamt of you for so long. Dreamt I might see you again. But please… not like this. The leader of the Deliverance? I pray this is some horrible mistake. Still, I'll only know for sure once I see for myself." - Celica

Praise This Despair!

"Only one truth is clear: War will come again … raging until the very earth itself lies scorched and bare of life. For whatever madness lay in the hearts of gods… a darkness deeper still beats wild in the hearts of man…" - Narrator
