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.

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.

Dimitri
volume_up

There you have it... It seems that the assassination attempt and the attack on the Holy Mausoleum were all the work of the Western Church.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

As for the masked knight who led the attack... I'm afraid his whereabouts are yet unknown.
link
Dedue
volume_up

It makes no sense that the Western Church would try such a thing.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

It just goes to show that the Church of Seiros is not completely united.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

The church is led by those here at Garreg Mach, and the Western Church doesn't have a strong voice on its governing council.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I imagine the Western Church has harbored some resentment toward the Central Church for a while now.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Ah, that's right. Jeralt did say that you grew up outside the influence of the church.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

The Church of Seiros is split into a few branches across Fódlan.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

The largest being the Central Church, which is headquartered right here at Garreg Mach.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

The Western Church lies far to the west of Castle Gaspard, where Lord Lonato held his rebellion.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

It's situated on the far side of the Kingdom's most impressive fortress, Arianrhod.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I imagine the Western Church's intention was to eliminate Lady Rhea, and the Central Church's authority along with her.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Naturally, the knights will be riding out to question the Western Church's top officials. Or rather... to punish them.
link
Dedue
volume_up

When they do, Your Highness, we will likely be asked to help carry out said punishment.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Indeed. Now, I don't mean to be rude, Professor, but I must say your situation is rather unusual.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

For someone to grow up in Fódlan and yet never have any contact with the Church of Seiros is... it's hard to believe.
link
Dedue
volume_up

I wonder why the archbishop would hire someone like that as a professor...
link
Ashe
volume_up

So...those people from the Western Church were... Um, Lady Rhea had them killed, didn't she?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Well, of course she did. Going against the teachings of Seiros like that. Quite unforgivable!
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Those who stray must be punished, I suppose. That said... Professor, I—

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