02. Magic City Gariland . 1 . 2 . 3 ... [Text 'only']
* - comment inside. [Sorry for ugly English]

The Royal Academy of Magic, which produced
war heroes like the Wizard Elidibs.

Delita's name appears for
the first time a year before
the Lion War broke out.

Many soldiers who returned from the war,
had no jobs, little money,
and even less loyalty to the crown.
Many became thieves and
rebels plotting rebellion
against the royal family.

At that time robbery and
murder were commonplace in Ivalice.
Many heroes and
wizards came out of there.
And Gariland was no exception either.

Military Academy's Auditorium
[8 cadets in the room.] Cadet [male] I heard another wagon bound for Igros was attacked. Cadet [female] Must have been the Death Corps... Ramza Something's starting... Know anything, Delita? Delita No... but I can guess. Ramza What do you mean? Delita Prince Larg's coming to town. Ramza Prince Larg? Why? Delita Not only Larg, but Marquis Elmdor of Limberry, too. Ramza That's news! It's not an official visit, is it? Delita There are danger zones everywhere in Ivalice. The Hokuten Knights are in full operation, but suffering from a shortage of men. Ramza So, they need us cadets. [Man's voice from outside] Everyone, fall in! [Cadets lines up in 2 rows. Male knight comes in and stops in front of cadets.] Hokuten Knight You have a mission! As you know, barbarians are rapidly increasing here in Gallione*. The traitorous Death Corps detest the royal family. We cannot overlook them. We will begin exterminating these traitors. By order of our Master. Larg's Knights stationed at Igros Castle and many either groups will participate. Your duty is to support the flank. Specifically, you'll go to Igros and help guard it.

[Gariland->Bar] Bar owner Welcome. Come in and relax. >> Rumor Leave bar [Gariland->Bar->Rumor] Bar owner Rumors are floating around. >> The Death Corps The King Omdoria The Fifty Year War [Gariland->Bar->Rumor->The Death Corps] Bar owner This rumor's about 'The Death Corps'
Robberies are on the rise in various areas and Gallione is no exception. Wagon hijackings and abductions are rampant. Now a group of former criminals and mercenaries, called the "Death Corps", have been making the most trouble for the Hokuten.



[Gariland->Bar->Rumor->The King Omdoria]

Bar owner This rumor's about
	'The King Omdoria'
There is great concern over King Omdoria*, who collapsed at Prince Orinas birthday celebration. The Board of Chamberlains reported his fever has subsided, but he'll take 3 weeks to recover. It will be several months before he can make any public appearances. But since most public policy is made by Queen Ruvelia, no turmoil is expected.



[Gariland->Bar->Rumor->The Fifty Year War]

Bar owner This rumor's about
	'The Fifty Year War'
A war that caused terror for nearly 50 years between Ivalice and Ordalia, known as the "Fifty Year War".
   The War was ignited when King Diwanu died without naming a successor. The throne was succeeded by Diwanu's brother, Valowa, but Denamunda of Ivalice, declared war.
   This was only an excuse... the real reason was because of... Zelamonia, a territory of Ivalice running along the Ordalian border. It was once independent*, but was annexed over a century ago, after an invasion. Ivalice supported Ordalia, but the result was failure. Unrest among the Nobles and in the cities of Zelamonia, along with Ordalia's rule, led them to seek intervention from Ivalice.
   With victories in the early battles, Ivalice's Army marched on the capital of Bura. But King Denamunda fell ill and was never to return to his kingdom. The confusion gave the Ordalian Army an opportunity, as Valowa was successful in holding off Ivalice's Army. Approximately 2 year stalemate of was broken by the Romandan Army's invasion.
   Romanda is a military state separated* from Ivalice by Larner Channel. Under King Valowa's orders, a blood relative, they marched on Ivalice. But, Denamunda who succeeded King Denamunda was a brave warrior against both the Romanda and Ordalian armies. An outbreak of Bubonic Plague in Romanda forced them to retreat in 3 years.
   The 2 squads most effective in the war were the Hokuten, led by Balbanes, and the Nanten, led by T.G. Cid. They scored many victories as they marched on Ordalia. But the long war was disasterous for both administrations. Farmers' revolts and riots broke out in many areas, as both kingdoms focused their war efforts within their borders. This made another stalemate broken only by the death of King Denamunda. (Widely believed to be assassinated) His successor, Omdoria* was no fit to lead the kingdom, and left all matters of state to the elder statesmen and the Queen. Therefore, there was no power to drive the troops of Prince Lanard, Valowa's successor, out. After allowing the invasion of Zeltennia, battles that both the Hokuten and the Nanten fought in, Ivalice hoped for peace. Realizing the war was useless, both kingdoms agreed on peace, focusing their efforts within their respective borders. Although the agreement was bilateral, Ivalice surrendered.
   Soon after, Ivalice's economy was on the brink of bankruptcy because of severe war reparations. Payments could not be made to returning soldiers, and large groups of Knights were discharged. As a result, high unemployment, uncertainty and distrust filled Ivalice.

2.3. Gariland - Ramza's dream about the past
Having attained the highest

brave Balbanes was facing
his last days...

The end of the 50 Year War
The Beoulve Residence.
[Old Balbanes in the bed. 2 his sons and daughter near the bed.] Balbanes How goes... the battle? Zalbag Through swift action we were able to recover Limberry. It's only a matter of time before the Ordalia army leaves Zeltennia. Don't worry. Lord Dycedarg The secret messenger sent to Count Lenario has returned. Count Lenario has agreed to your plan. Balbanes Good... then, at last... this long war... will finally come to an end... Alma Father... Balbanes Don't cry... my daughter... Zalbag Where is Ramza? Just when we need him most! Balbanes Dycedarg, Zalbag... my beloved sons... Take care of Ramza. He may be your half brother, but he is my own flesh. [Ramza comes in.] Ramza Father!! [Ramza walks to the bed.] Dycedarg Lower your voice. Balbanes [looks at Ramza] I'm glad you came... Let me... look at you... [Dycedarg steps aside. Ramza takes his place near Balbanes.] Ramza Father... Balbanes It has been a long time... You've become a fine man... You start at the Academy ...in spring, don't you? [Balbanes stretches left hand to Ramza.] Ramza ...... Balbanes Listen, Ramza... A Beoulve has served the royal family for generations. The warrior spirit is in us. Never shame your name... never tolerate injustice... Living true to your heart is the warrior's way... ...the Beoulve way. Ramza I understand, father... Balbanes Delita's a good boy. He should serve you well... I've asked the dean to accept him into the Academy. It shocked the dean a bit. He will serve you well... Treat him well... Ramza Y, yes... father... Balbanes Take good care of Alma... [Ramza releases Balbanes' hand and steps backward.] Balbanes Become a fine knight... Ramza. [Balbanes' eyes closed... Ramza lowers head...]
