Meanwhile, the Imperial forces led by Menenius sas Lanatus have recovered Save the Queen, the holy blade wielded by the Bozjan Queen Gunnhildr herself.
During one such survey, the machinery operated by Lilija appears to be broken, and Misija volunteers to head to the Ironworks base in Doma to replace it. As the fighting begins in earnest, Mikoto, Misija and Ironworks representative Lilija begin conducting surveys on the land to find a place to recharge to crystal focus, which had been drained during the excursion into Cid's mind, with the aid of the Warrior. The Warrior of Light is deployed alongside the successors to the recreated weapons to the field to turn the tide of battle. The preparations have been completed, and with the news that the Blades of Gunnhildr have been reforged, Bajsaljen uses the momentum to pre-empt a strike on Castrum Lacus Litore. He dismisses the news, having plans to put 'the Lady of Blades' into motion to help create a new nation following the collapse of the Garlean Empire. Meanwhile, in Val Nain, Gabranth recieves word from a spy in the Resistance that the Bozjans have succeeded in reforging the legendary weapons. Bajsaljen asks for the Warrior to return once the preparations for their assault on Castrum Lacus Litore have been finalised. As they are not the true weapons, Gerolt calls them Resistance Weapons instead. The inscriptions on the replica are noted down, and Cid overcomes his guilt regarding the Bozja incident, setting the stage to allow Gerolt to recreate the legendary weapons for both the Resistance and the Warrior’s use. Returning to Gangos, the Warrior and Mikoto enter Cid’s memory and help him work through his trauma regarding his failure to stop his father and being shot by him, realising that Midas had long been tempered by Bahamut. The Warrior manages to track down Cid and convince him to help with their plan. After using Gerolt as a guinea pig to see if the theory holds merit, Mikoto experiences her own Echo vision (that of a future vision) which the Warrior shares, leading them to conclude that Cid nan Garlond, son of Midas nan Garlond, who helmed the Meteor Project until his death in the Bozja Incident, would be the most easily accessible person to have seen the replicas. To this end, Mikoto suggests exploring the memories of those who would have had chance to see the replicas via a special crystal focus created by ancient Bozjans seers to explore and alter memory a tool which, she theorizes, would work exceptionally well with one possessed of the Echo’s ability to peak into memory. The original weapons were lost in the 4 th Umbral Calamity, but replicas existed in the Bozja Citadel, up until its destruction caused by the Meteor Project. What made these weapons special were arcane inscriptions created by the original Gunnhildr, and Gerolt suggests that they need to be acquired to truly reforge the equipment.
To this end, Archaeologist Misija Votyasch has recommended the Resistance reforge the weapons of the Blades of Gunnhildr, the guards of the legendary Bozjan queen, to serve as a symbol of defiance. However, reports by their spies indicate that Gabranth intends to send forces led by his second Menenius sas Lanatus to reinforce their hold over the Hrothgar homeland.īefore this happens, Bajsaljen wishes to capture Castrum Lacus Litore, but lacks the forces to do so. The leader, Bajsaljen Ulgasch, explains the situation IVth Imperial Legion legatus, Noah van Gabranth, has stationed his forces in the city of Val Nain, leaving Gangos relatively unguarded. There they learn that their old acquaintance, Gerolt Blackthorn, as well as the Sharlayan scholar, Mikoto Jinba, have lent their aid to the Resistance’s cause. The Warrior meets with Bozjan representative Marsak Apella, who takes the Warrior via airship to the Resistance’s base in the region of Gangos, just west of Dalmasca. However their numbers are small, and their people scattered, so they seek the assistance of the Liberator in rallying their people to reclaim the land that was once theirs. The Dalmascan Resistance remains fractured, despite the efforts of Fran Eruyt of Lente's Tears, however another group of fighters, the Bozjan Resistance seeks to join the alliance. Meeting Hien in Yanxia, they are told of the state of the Eastern Alliance’s efforts against the Empire. In the city of Kugane, the Warrior of Light receives word that Hien, King of Doma and friend, needs their assistance.
