We successfully drove out the bandits and recovered the holy artifact.

Rhea

I must thank you all for your help. Truly, the goddess has blessed us this day.

So that shield is the artifact?

It is actually one of the sacred weapons. I am certain you know of them.
Say they were made by Saint Macuil.
Say they were made by Saint Indech.

Shez

Oh, right. I remember hearing how Saint Macuil made 'em a long time ago.

You are well-informed—although in this case, only half-right.

I see someone has been studying.

Seteth

Many people mistakenly believe the sacred weapons were forged by Saint Macuil.
link
Seteth
volume_up
In truth, most were forged by Indech, then imbued with power by Macuil.
link
Rhea
volume_up
It is said that this one—the Ochain Shield—was created by Indech for Saint Cichol.

Flayn

They were such good friends! Er...or so I once read.
link
Rhea
volume_up
Indeed. But Seiros decided to gift the shield to the first emperor of Adrestia instead. Do you know who that was?
Shez (Male)
Shez (Female)

Shez

It was...um... Yeah, let's see if Cyril knows.
link
Shez
volume_up
It was...um... Yeah, let's see if Cyril knows.
link
Cyril
volume_up
It was... Hm. Wil...something, right?
link
Rhea
volume_up
Wilhelm Paul Hresvelg—the only person to hold the title of "great emperor" in the history of Adrestia.
link
Rhea
volume_up
At first, he merely ruled over Enbarr, but then Seiros imparted the revelation of the goddess upon him.
link
Rhea
volume_up
In the blink of an eye, he forged an empire and raised an army to unite the war-torn land of Fódlan.
link
Rhea
volume_up
His battle raged for decades. Much blood was shed.
link
Seteth
volume_up
Seiros and the Four Saints fought beside the Empire at this time, which is why the struggle is now known as the War of Heroes.

Huh. Did you know all that, Cyril?

Don't use my ignorance to feel better about yourself.

Finally, Nemesis—the leader of the opposing forces— was defeated at the Battle of Tailtean.
link
Rhea
volume_up
Having achieved his chief ambition, Great Emperor Wilhelm ceded the throne to his son, Lycaon.
link
Rhea
volume_up
Wilhelm continued to assist Lycaon in battle.
link
Rhea
volume_up
But Lycaon perished at a young age, and Wilhelm soon retreated into the background.
link
Rhea
volume_up
He relinquished this shield to Seiros, and together they returned it to Indech's workshop.
link
Seteth
volume_up
Then it lay forgotten for over a thousand years.
Shez (Male)

Shez

A thousand years? It doesn't look anywhere near that old.

That is because Uncle Indech was so skilled. In fact, he was the finest blacksmith who ever lived!

Uncle?

Shez

Uncle?
link
Flayn
volume_up
Um, I mean, Saint Indech! They call him uncle in some fables so...I misspoke.
link
Seteth
volume_up
Alas, in the present day, the Adrestian Emperor is attempting to eradicate the Church of Seiros.
link
Seteth
volume_up
They forget their very origins. It is nothing short of pure blasphemy.
link
Seteth
volume_up
Here. The shield is yours.
link
Seteth
volume_up
We also recovered other useful items from the bandits, and they are yours as well.
Shez (Male)
Shez (Female)

Really?

Seteth

The archbishop wishes it.
link
Rhea
volume_up
Just as Great Emperor Wilhelm once used this shield to defeat the wicked Nemesis...
link
Rhea
volume_up
I pray you might use it to defeat the wayward Emperor Edelgard.
Accept the shield.
Refuse it.
Hesitate.
Shez (Male)
Shez (Female)

Shez

Gotcha. I'll give it to Dimitri and tell him to use it as he sees fit.

Excellent. I am certain he will find a proper purpose for it.

Shez

Thanks, but I don't think I'm worthy of a thousand- year-old shield forged by a literal saint.

I see. In that case, I will simply have it delivered to King Dimitri directly.

But I'm just a mercenary, y'know? Not sure I'm prepared to handle something so...fancy.

Indech's superhuman talent and Wilhelm's fierce will. Seiros's wishes for Fódlan, and the blessing of the goddess herself.
link
Rhea
volume_up
All these things dwell within the shield.
link
Rhea
volume_up
I am certain it will lead the way to victory for you, as well as all adherents of the Seiros faith.
Accept the shield.
