"I am Arazlam, student of Ivalice's (Ee-vah-lease's) Middle Age. You are familiar with the War of the Lions, no? It was a bitter war of succession that rent the land of Ivalice in two. Here we first find mention of Delita Heiral (Deh-lee-tah Heh-ral), a hithertofore unknown young man, the hero who would draw the curtain of this dark act of our history. His is a heroism of great renown - a story familiar to all who dwell within our land."

"Ah, but what the eye sees is oftentimes a mere fragment of the truth. There was another young man, the youngest of House Beoulve (Bay-oolve), long famed for producing leaders of knights and men. There is no official record of the role he played on history's stage."
