History[]
Event story[]
In Search of Thunderedge[]
In Ep. 10: Whereabouts of the Blade, after the battle, Lumeide and Lameiga were wounded as their soldiers had fallen to Raviesse and Varush. Lameiga said they would fall back for now but that they had not seen the last of them, retreating with his sister. Raviesse asked Varush to explain why he would board the ship knowing they would be pursued. Varush asked if Raviesse suggested he would have lost, with Raviesse stating it was not out of the realm of possibility. Varush retorted it was outside unequivocally, stating that the twins probably now thought they had Owe's sword. Raviesse realized that Varush had led them to Anvil Castle to ensure they would not desecrate Owe's grave. Varush told her they were not actually at Owe's grave, and that it was customary in the east to stack three stones in front of the grave before praying for the peaceful slumber of the deceased. Raviesse asked if it was possible those who had laid Owe to rest were unaware of the customs of the east, with Varush telling her to ask them herself.
The pair turned around and encounter Rafale and Eliza, who mentioned that the grave was their sentiment while inquiring about the pair's intentions. A voice told Rafale and Eliza to stand down, revealing herself to be Queen Helena. Helena gathered they were from the east, with Varush confirming it so and began explaining their situation.
After being informed of the pair's situation, Helena was understanding while Rafale and Eliza still cast suspicion on the pair. Helena brandished Owe's sword, stating it to be the disgrace of Leonis that an honored guest in their kingdom was embroiled into their war. Helena asked why the sword was being sought out, with Varush asking her if she was familiar with Masachika, the legendary swordsmith. Helena had heard of him and Varush explained Masachika had sacrificed his soul to forge the ultimate blade. Fearing that the blade would be used for evil, Masachika had sealed away his crowning achievement. Helena asked about the blade's location and Varush mentioned the clues to where it could be found were hidden in the inscriptions of six different swords that were entrusted to the masters of the east for protection. He confirmed that the Arms Dealers' Guild was trying to obtain all six swords, prompting Helena to mention that Varush should carry the sword with him. Varush asked if she was certain he should have it. Helena explained that her son, Sterne, was being puppeted by the Sadali as a tool for slaughter, and that Sterne could not be allowed to see a memento from Owe, whom he had idolized as if he were his true father. Varush understood and said that when everything would be settled, he would return the sword to her. Helena thanked him and gave him the sword, with Varush commenting on its namesake of Thunderedge. He promised to track down the remaining five swords at any cost.

Vision cards[]
- Birth of New Life
On that day, all of Leonis was enveloped in cheers of joy, for the king's long-awaited child—two children, in fact—had been born. The cheers were all the louder as this also meant the birth of the prince who would one day reign over the land. Amidst the citizens' cheering voices—echoing so loud they shook the very walls of the castle—those close to the king whispered their concerns that twins would lead only to strife over who would ascend the throne. However, King Oelde laughed them away, confident that having twins would ensure the continuation of the royal bloodline. Though typically a brazen-faced king, on this day alone his smile would not fade. Queen Helena was overjoyed as well, but no one could be happier at the birth of these boys than Oelde himself.

- A Year's Journey
It was exactly this time last year. Father had ordered me to fell the bombs that had appeared in the outskirts of our territory. Ramada was kind enough to join me, knowing my dislike for battle, but having Sterne there with me was heartening above all else. The ring was given to me to keep me safe, but at the time I truly thought I would have no need for it.
...So much has happened since then. I could have never imagined the things that would befall Father, Mother, and Sterne. And there will surely be even more hardship to come. But I will continue on the path I believe to be right. I shall do naught but protect everyone I can and restore peace to these lands.Vision card description
