The death of Lord Rasler Helos Nabradia was but one of many
tragedies to befall the Kingdom of Dalmasca.
The air of hope that had surrounded Her Royal Highness
Princess Ashe's Wedding was now quite lost: Dalmasca had
been set adrift, at the mercy of history's restless tides.
At this time, the great empires struggled for dominion over
Ivalice: Archadia in the east, and Rozarria, the west. The
invasion of the kingdom of Nabradia was Archadia's first step in
its westward march.
With Lord Rasler's beloved homeland consumed by the hell-fires
of war, it seemed clear that Archadia would soon mete out a
like fate to Dalmasca. The fall of the fortress at Nalbina tolled
the destruction of the greater part of Dalmasca's forces.
A counter-attack was mounted by the order of the Knights of
Dalmasca, ever brave and faithful, but against the martial might
of the Archadian armies, they stood little chance of victory.
Indeed, their defeat was to be absolute.
Soon thereafter, Archadia came forward offering terms of
peace. Or, as one might rather put it, terms of Dalmasca's
surrender.
Lord Raminas, King of Dalmasca--and my dear friend--had no
choice but to accept these terms. It was, thus, only with
reluctance that he set out for Nalbina fortress--now under
Archadian occupation--to affix his seal to the Emperor's treaty
of peace.
The King had scarce departed his royal city of Rabanastre when
the remnants of the Order made their return. And not a moment
too soon, for a terrible revelation awaited them.
The treaty would be signed with steel and writ in royal blood.
