Very interesting...

Claude

Oh, Teach! How long have you been there?
link
Claude
volume_up

Don't sneak up on me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack.
link
Claude

Anyway, I'm reading the official biography of the Four Saints, as sanctioned by the church.
link
Claude
volume_up

I know you're not very familiar with the teachings of Seiros, but even you must have read it at least once.
link
Claude
volume_up

Huh. I'm amazed you managed to get a job teaching at an academy run by the church.
link
Claude
volume_up

Tell me again... How exactly did you manage to get a job teaching at an academy run by the church?
link
Claude
volume_up

Well, whether you've read the biography or not, the Four Saints must at least ring a bell, right?
link
Claude
volume_up

Well then, I've got a little quiz for you. Name the Four Saints, companions of the great Saint Seiros.
link
Claude
volume_up

I'll give you a hint. There was Cichol, Cethleann, Indech, and...who was the fourth one again?
link
Claude
volume_up

Ooh, tough luck! That would be incorrect. The name you were looking for is "Macuil."
link
Claude
volume_up

Correct! I was hoping you'd know that much, at least.
link
Claude
volume_up

Ooh, tough luck! That would be incorrect. The name you were looking for is "Macuil."
link
Claude
volume_up

In any case, you can learn some interesting things reading about the life and times of Saint Macuil.
link
Claude
volume_up

For instance, he was more skilled with his hands than his fellow saints, and even became an accomplished blacksmith.
link
Claude
volume_up

He used his skills to forge countless sacred weapons for the army of Seiros.
link
Claude
volume_up

Of course, he didn't just forge the weapons. He also used them in battle himself. Legends say his strength was second only to Seiros.
link
Claude
volume_up

It's even said that he played a big role in the Battle of Tailtean, where Seiros fought Nemesis, the King of Liberation who became the king of evil.
link
Claude
volume_up

Macuil lost his life in that battle, and now his body rests in a coffin within the Holy Mausoleum.
link
Claude
volume_up

Or so one story goes. Another legend says he set off on a journey to find a new land.
link
Claude
volume_up

That he left Fódlan from the east, crossed the sea, and vanished.
link
Claude
volume_up

He must have left Alliance territory, but where exactly would he have set sail from, I wonder?
link
Claude
volume_up

Thinking about it reminds me of another interesting story concerning the Sreng Region.
link
Claude
volume_up

The peninsula is attached to the mainland of Fódlan and extends from the northeastern part of Kingdom territory.
link
Claude
volume_up

If you were to set sail from Margrave Edmund's territory, you could cut cross a stretch of sea and land there.
link
Claude
volume_up

And it just so happens that in the Sreng Region, there are ruins built to worship a sacred beast that appeared from across the sea.
link
Claude
volume_up

If the ruins have something to do with Saint Macuil, there could be sacred weapons there...
link
Claude
volume_up

So? Have I piqued your interest or what?
link
Claude
volume_up

You always have to play it cool, don't you? Just think of how useful it would be to have weapons like that!
link
Claude
volume_up

Not to mention that the peninsula would be pretty easy to get to about now, seeing as how Alliance territory has settled down a bit.
link
Claude
volume_up

We'd be there and back in no time. No one would even notice we were gone. Come on, Teach! Let's go to the Sreng Region!
link
Claude
volume_up

I always see it through once I set my mind on something. Let's make the necessary preparations before I die of curiosity.

Claude

I guess I can wait...just a while. But make sure you decide before I die of curiosity, OK?
