Opening Narration: A Path Forward

Standard Version

The Empire manages to prevail over the Kingdom and Central Church's coalition—despite the Alliance's declaration of war—but Archbishop Rhea is nowhere to be found. Edelgard and the others soon realize the archbishop aims to use Ailell's secret trails to lead a surprise attack on Garreg Mach, so the Empire regroups and moves to intervene.

(Edelgard smiles and returns Shez's high-five, and the two victors return to the ruined cathedral to celebrate.)

Closing Narration: Standard Version

It is now 1183, Blue Sea Moon. The Empire has freed Garreg Mach and put the Knights of Seiros and those who slither in the dark to rout.

Amidst the fighting, Archbishop Rhea and Thales both go missing. With no one to lead, the Central Church's influence wanes, and those who slither in the dark vanish.

But due to Claude's breaking of a pact to serve his own ambitions, the Empire and Leicester Alliance soon return to war.

Bloodshed between the three ruling powers of Fódlan—Empire, Alliance, and the beleaguered Kingdom—rages on with no end in sight.
