As all of you have committed a breach of faith, the archbishop will now pass judgment.

Shamir
volume_up

Inciting a Kingdom noble to rebel. Unlawful entry. The attempted assassination of the archbishop. An attack on the Holy Mausoleum.

Shamir

It is unnecessary to go on, followers of the Western Church.

Priest

What?! We have nothing to do with the Western Church!

You have already been identified. Please spare us your second-rate theater.

Rhea

Dishonoring a holy ceremony is worthy of death for a member of the church.

Rhea
volume_up

You are well past the hope of redemption. If you have any grace remaining, you will willingly offer your life as atonement for this crime.

Priest
volume_up

No! This isn't what we were told would happen! We've been deceived!

Shamir

It's no use arguing. Whatever your excuse, the punishment stands.

Rhea

May your souls find peace as they return to the goddess...

Priest

Wait! Please! The goddess would never forgive you for our execution!

Priest

Monster! We know you've already slaughtered many of our fellow brethren like this!

This concludes the investigation. Please remove these poor, lost souls from my sight.

Edelgard

That's that, I suppose. The assassination attempt, the attack on the Holy Mausoleum... It was all the Western Church's doing.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

That masked knight who led the attack somehow managed to disappear without a trace.
link
Hubert
volume_up

The Church of Seiros clearly isn't as unified as it would hope to appear.
link
Hubert
volume_up

It seems the bishop of the Western Church was always opposed to the church being ruled centrally from Garreg Mach.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Perhaps they hope to remove the archbishop in order to completely strip the Central Church of its authority.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Ugh, that's right. Jeralt mentioned that you were raised without any exposure to the church.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

In order to function more efficiently, the Church of Seiros is split into several smaller entities.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

The Central Church is the largest and leads the organization from Garreg Mach.
link
Hubert
volume_up

The Western Church extends from Castle Gaspard, where Lord Lonato rebelled into the far west.
link
Hubert
volume_up

They can be found just beyond the most renowned stronghold of the Kingdom, the Fortress City of Arianrhod.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

It seems the knights have been tasked with subduing the leaders of the Western Church.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

We may be given the opportunity to help them with their mission.
link
Hubert
volume_up

To think...our own professor was born in Fódlan and yet knew nothing of the church.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I never imagined explaining something so basic to an instructor of mine. You're something of a special case, are you not?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

How strange that the archbishop would ask someone like that to lead her students. There's clearly more to that decision than we know.
link
Caspar
volume_up

Lady Rhea is pretty scary sometimes...but to execute that whole group just like that? It seems harsh, even for her.
link
Bernadetta

If one of us does something bad, I wonder what she would do to us!

Dorothea

Professor... Do you agree with the archbishop's actions?

There you are, Professor. It seems Lady Rhea would like a word with you. Come with me.
