Wounds scar,

but are never truly forgotten.

Following the acts of the crusade, the Commander, Alaric Bargiel is quick and without hesitation in mobilizing the might of the Bastion in support of Eloise's efforts to rid Meranthe of the Demon Lord Varrach. A squadron of elite magi assembled to move in tandem with the bringer of Finality and those who have opted to stand with her. War horns sound as flags of black & white flail yet again. The finest of the Astra and Umbra handpicked to muster in unison.

From the desk of the Commander of the Bastion, a missive is read.

Many years have past since the fall of Pscaela, and the great sacrifices that came along with it. Many times you have dismissed me Varrach. Now, you will live to regret having done so. You have come far and seen more success than I care to admit; but this ends here. The Bastion will move in assistance of Eloise Elaide in her efforts against you to the sum of your finality. The Light of Humanity will at long last take grasp of you.

We see clearly that so long as you exist, Meranthe will not know true peace.

For raising your blade against Nix Bargiel,

For taking the life of Barron Bargiel,

And your numerous crimes against humanity - you will face judgement.

Your goals will end with you.

The Commander's word upkept, the Bastion begins preparation for this grand battle of titans.

To march alongside the Goldlight Order and Eloise Elaide, yet again.

The Republic reunites in conjoined efforts.
