Eredrim
Peace At Last (53)
- And answer for my failure.
- But you return here? Of all places?
- I must return to the Crypt of Martyrs.
- I see it now.
- I walk the Immaculate Path.
- We could make a new life.
- You seek annihilation… in Tar, in violence, and in this, too.
- You’re a coward.
- I seek peace.
- I will go no further.
- Then turn around.
- This is your burden. Not mine.
- This place holds nothing but death.
- Why are you doing this?
- …
- Did you think saving one child would put things right?
- I never wanted to harm you.
- I… I’m sorry.
- No peace at last.
- There is no forgiveness for you.
- And yet it is we who must be punished?
- I did as I was commanded.
- Put a child in my belly.
- Your king forced himself on me.
- A fancy title?
- A few more coins?
- And for what?
- … you killed me?
- (groans in pain)
- I have failed you… Ovate.
- I submit myself for your judgement.
- Absolution awaits.
- Claim the Venerated Nektar.
- It’s what I deserve… for my weakness.
- Rise, Eredrim.
- What? But… Ovate?
- You seek punishment?
- As you command.
- Kneel.
- I see.
- I’m… pure.
- No… memories.
- There’s no more pain.
- This is your “reward,” huh?
- What did they do to you? You’re bleeding.
- ... Eredrim?
- Continue
- Eredrim, it’s me… your squire… Willam.
- … who?... who are you?
- But this is for the best.
- In this life… or the next.
- I’m sorry…
- May you find peace.
The Battle (52)
- I’m sworn to the king.
- Can you hear me?
- Wake up!
- What!?
- Don’t worry.
- Willam…? Where am I?
- You were only dreaming.
- Answer me!
- But you do.
- He doesn’t have a choice...
- Please… Eredrim…
- But the boy deserves mercy.
- Do what you will to me.
- Sworn to protect the innocent?
- Where is the child?
- You’re a knight, aren’t you?
- Eredrim…
- I fear'd you’d find us one day…
- Or throw us in a dungeon?
- Tell me.
- Where’s the bastard?
- Will you drag us before the court?
- Have you come to save us?
- Lord Eredrim!
- Papa sent you?
- The king sent me himself.
- Wait… where’s mother?
- Where is he?
- Is that… Willam?
- No… just a brigand.
- They ambushed us at night…
- What happened here?
- … cowards.
- Until the Grisha charged in.
- We were winning…
- And then… darkness.
- Willam—he pushed me out of its path.
- My men were still untested.
- But I remember Willam… calling us to arms.
- The sentry must have fallen asleep.
- Are you awake, stranger?
- He’s my squire. That’s all.
- No…
- Where’s… Willam?
- Your son?
- … what… what happened?
- Wait! He’s… he’s here.
- (weak groan)
- He’s alive… I know it.
- The battle’s over.
- Willam! It’s me.
- You're safe now.
The Immaculate Path (47)
- I have returned…
- It is I Eredrim, the Venerable.
- Make your offering.
- Then go on.
- Who dares to tread this hallowed ground?
- … to walk the Immaculate Path.
- I’ve brought tithes…
- … as requested
- And the boy.
- He, too, will loyally serve.
- Is that all... ?
- Meaningless plunder.
- Speak plainly.
- Tell us of this… Eredrim, the Venerable.
- What do you want?
- Yes?
- You shall decide his fate.
- … the child…
- But Eredrim is a man of… strength.
- But are you a man of honor, Eredrim?
- Child, tell us, why do you follow this “knight”?
- I am wed to virtue.
- I have disgraced myself…
- Is that so?
- It is what brings me here.
- I… I’m not certain, but…
- I… well… my father is a liar and a cheat… he’s weak.
- Lie
- That’s why I’m here.
- Truth
- ... from his memories.
- Absolution… peace.
- I seek the Imma—
- I told you already.
- I’ve heard rumors…
- Lies! Try again.
- Perhaps. But we do not trust you.
- Perhaps. But we require more from you.
- Place your hand upon the sword.
- Speak truthfully.
- That the Immaculate can free a man
- The venerated Nektar.
- What do you seek, Eredrim?
- What must I do?
- … his nightmares.
- And bring order to Fallgrim.
- You will raise an army.
