Alcryst – Tender Archer Alear – Divine Dragon Alfred – Floral Protector
Alcryst took on all clerical duties at Brodia Castle and provided aid to Elusia’s recovery effort. The two nations grew to trust each other, expanding mutual trade.

He was praised as a brilliant yet humble strategist who kept his brother, the new king, safe─just as he’d promised his late father.

___ took after Lumera as the Divine Dragon Monarch. The bonds he/she forged with his/her allies resulted in a lasting peace.

Records speak of a blue-haired Emblem cutting down the last of the Corrupted, but whether this was the new monarch or one of his/her allies is a mystery.

As king of Firene, Alfred forged a new non-aggression pact with Lythos and the other countries, ensuring a long period of peace.

Records reveal Alfred’s reign was brief, as he died an early death. However, he was loved by his people, and there is no doubt his life was full of joy.

Amber – Alpaca Master Anna – Li’l Merchant Boucheron – Big Softy
Amber was overjoyed to see Diamant sit on Brodia’s throne. He patrolled the kingdom to quell postwar chaos, and misadventure followed him with every step.

In time, he became one of the very legends he had so admired. Portraits always placed him near an alpaca, confounding scholars.

Anna finally reunited with her family. She had many sisters, all with the same name and face, but only she had ever traveled with the Divine Dragon Monarch.

With the Emblems’ success in the war, rings came strongly into fashion. She made all the profit she’d ever wanted off the trend.

Boucheron worked for many years to restore Firene. Upon seeing Florra Port fully restored, he cried tears of joy.

He traveled so often between the castle and Florra that, in honor of his kindness and dedication, the road connecting them was called Boucheron’s Passage.

He left to tour the world and taste food, putting all he learned into a book that became a bible for chefs. Even after his death, his recipes brought joy to many.

Céline dedicated her life to peace in the kingdom of Firene. This sometimes meant taking the unpopular position of punishing those who disturbed order.

Her favorite tea became known as a tea of blessings in Firene. Legend had it that those who drank the tea would find joy.

Chloé comforted the royal family and her fellow soldiers with deliveries of folk food. Soon, Firene’s local delicacies started including more unusual flavors.

Years later, she met someone at a food stall, and they had a fairy-tale, whirlwind romance that blossomed into lifelong love.

Citrinne – Caring Noble Clanne – Calm Steward Diamant – Rising Power
Citrinne redoubled her efforts to sway Brodian nobles away from warfare by advocating for peace. Some were unmoved, but many took her words to heart.

Despite the great weight on her shoulders, her graceful smile was ever present─especially at the balls and galas that she so loved.

Clanne succeeded Vander as a steward. As he grew older, his levelheaded demeanor was likened to Vander’s own.

He so revered the Divine Dragon Monarch that, when it was time to select the 34th generation of stewards, he tested candidates on their love for ___.

As the new king of Brodia, Diamant ordered a halt to all invasions and worked to reform his people’s attitudes on Elusia.

Some nobles resisted Diamant at first, but his vision for the future earned their favor. By exporting ore, Brodia was able to shift to a booming, trade-based economy.

Etie – Fitness Fighter Fogado – Affable Prince Framme – Eager Steward
Besides serving Firene with her own strength, Etie bulked up its soldiers with a regimen of weight training and muscle stimulants.

Some said this was at odds with the nation’s pacifist ethos, but it was celebrated in her hometown, where to this day, orange flowers are grown in her honor.

Fogado traveled aimlessly until Timerra’s coronation and then returned to the palace to serve behind the scenes as her adviser.

Though few reliable accounts of his life were left in the history books, it’s said he met someone during his travels, and they spent the rest of their lives together.

Framme served as a steward, maturing into a protective force every bit as calm and attentive as Vander.

Her zeal for the Divine Dragon Monarch never waned. When it came time to choose the next stewards, she held a cheering contest for all the candidates.

Goldmary – Elegant Talent Hortensia – Little Charmer Ivy – Snow Queen
Though she was dubbed a knight for her service, Goldmary soon discovered that her true gift was teaching. She became a top instructor at Elusia’s academy.

So many of her students went on to do great things that she felt a need to apologize to her classes for the pressure placed on them.

After her sister’s coronation, Hortensia returned to Elusia’s academy and soon graduated at the top of her class.

Her natural charm was later key in negotiations with Brodia. She and Ivy were well remembered for the contributions they made to their country’s prosperity.

As queen of Elusia, Ivy strove to rebuild her war-torn nation, and to improve its insular culture through diplomacy with Brodia. Her decision to import ore gave rise to a lucrative mineral processing industry.

Kagetsu disappeared after Ivy’s coronation. Some said he was off searching for a worthy opponent. In fact, he had gone home to ask his family’s permission to live in Elusia and serve the queen.

Working under Ivy, he still made visits to Pale Sands, returning each time with the gift of rice.

Lapis – Mighty Flower Lindon – Thunder Sage Louis – Watchful Valet
Lapis traveled to war-torn towns and taught citizens how to repair their homes. At every stop, she left large, delicious potatoes from the farm in her home village.

The popularity of these “taters” brought her village wealth and prosperity, and earned Lapis a new title: “the Potato Goddess.”

After the war, Lindon returned home to a leisurely retirement. He passed on a peaceful spring morning, returning to the side of his beloved wife in the hereafter.

For his friends and allies, his memory lives on whenever they taste a pastry or hear the sound of thunder roaring in the sky.

Louis retired as a knight and became a butler to the royal family. The black tea he brewed and his attentive care aided them in running the government.

His interest in people watching was a lifelong love, but however many tried to join him, he always preferred to stroll gardens alone.

Mauvier – Penitent Knight Merrin – Suave Knight Pandreo – Party Priest
Mauvier strove to atone by aiding others. His good deeds continued into late life, when he went out and was never heard from again. Some say he was in an accident. Others, that a victim of the Four Hounds took revenge. The only certainty is that Veyle and the Divine Dragon Monarch were in his thoughts until the end. Merrin traveled with Timerra, gathering material for her book on rare creatures. Though it had few readers upon publication, the work came to be treasured for its insights on dragons.

In her later years, Merrin went back home and took her place as matriarch, uniting her village.

Pandreo founded a popular new religion worshipping all dragons. He planned a huge, raucous party in Lythos but when Vander balked, he made it slightly tamer.

His cheerful howl later became known as a special prayer to the Divine Dragon Monarch.

Panette – Classy Brawler Rosado – Adorable Artist Saphir – Valiant Guard

Rosado was dubbed a knight for his service. He traveled the land, seeking to destroy the Corrupted for good─resuming his studies only when that task was done.

Later in life, he earned further fame as an artist. A portrait of the royal family at their cutest still hangs in Elusia Castle.

Saphir returned to Brodia Castle and took up a position in King Diamant’s personal guard. Later in life, she retired to her village and started a seafood restaurant. Though small, the place attracted customers from far and wide.

Timerra traveled far and wide after the war. Still, she never forgot her duties as queen, returning to the palace often to greet guests with a smile.

The people Timerra met during her travels cared very much for her, and she became the most beloved queen in Solm’s history.

After the Divine Dragon Monarch took the throne, Vander ceded his role as steward, choosing to live as a knight on the Somniel.

The new monarch and his/her friends visited Vander often. He always met the group with a smile, as he took great joy in remembering their journey.

Veyle – Gentle Dragon Yunaka – Hidden Mask Zelkov – Mystery Man
Veyle took over Gradlon and made it into a lush, green land. She resisted the crown for over a century, then at last gave in to her people’s wishes and became the first monarch of Gradlon.

By then, many of her old friends had died, but their offspring and ___ were at the event.

After the war, Yunaka became a street performer. She put on a captivating act for a few years, then vanished without a trace. Did she perish? Start a new life far away? The truth is unknown.

Some say the Divine Dragon Monarch’s use of unusual words was due to her influence.

After completing his work as Princess Ivy’s retainer, Zelkov’s next pursuit was to create a shelter for the children in Elusia who were orphaned by the war.

He and his new family were very happy. It is said that the children all learned to speak in quite a profound and *meaningful* way.

Nel – Stoic Dragon Rafal – Atoning Dragon Zelestia – Loving Leader

Many centuries later, the bones of an unknown Fell Dragon were discovered. It is said that Rafal had sacrificed his life to save the world without anyone realizing.

Zelestia set out to find Mage Dragons rumored to be living in secret. She was often confused for Zephia of the Four Hounds, but her kindness won through.

In later years, she became leader of the new Mage Dragon village and lived out her life loving them, and loved by them, as family.

Gregory – Fading Scar Madeline – Healing Heart
No longer needing to look tough, Gregory made himself outfits of the softest fabric and retired to the forest, hoping for a quiet life. However, word of his clothes spread, and his designs became quite popular in Lythos. Though he struggled to meet demand, he earned enough for him and his descendants to live comfortably.

Madeline moved to Elusia, the reflection of her homeland, and trained for years to become a knight equal to her parents. She then joined a knightly order to aid in the kingdom’s recovery.
