Disclaimers: Arielle Allice, Athrun, Alexander, Soren, Lucretius, Terra, and Celia are all my characters. All other characters used and story plot belong to Square Enix. (Arielle and Athrun both have the last name Margrace, that name also belongs to Square Enix.) You may also notice that the first paragraph of the prologue contains some words from the Prince of Persia. (I couldn't think of anything to start this story) So those words belong to Disney Studios.
Setting: Story sets during game events. Starts off in Rozarria at the Noble House of Margrace.
Overall Story Notes: There may be spoilers in this story, so read at your own risk. This story is all about Rozarria's side of the story. It does have a lot to do with Larsa and Gabranth and Arielle will meet the other characters later on.
~Prologue~
Long ago in a land far away, there once rose an empire from the western borders of Dalmasca to the shores of the Venetian Sea. That empire was Rozarria. They were fierce in battle but wise in victory. Where the Rozarrian sword went order followed. With Rozarria, there was another empire to the east known as Archadia. Ever faithful, Archadia was a noble empire. Archadia stretched from the eastern borders of Nabradia to the Artisan Sea. Between the two great empires were two small countries known as Dalmasca and Nabradia.
The Archadian King, Gramis Solidor, ruled with no one at his side until his two sons, Vayne and Larsa were born. They gave him great joy, but in the eyes of the Gods, his family was not yet complete. One day the King visited his Royal City of Archades and wandered upon an orphan boy saving his friends life from a lost and hungry wolf. The King admired his courage and brought the boy, Gabranth, into his family. A boy with no royal blood and no eye on the King's throne, but perhaps there was something else at work that day. Something beyond simple understanding, the day a boy from the unlikeliest of places became a Judge Magister of Archadia.
A tragedy befell upon the great empire of Rozarria a few years ago. The King and Queen of Rozarria were killed in an Archadian surprise attack. Archadia has the need for more power and want to rule over Ivalice. So with the surprise attack from Archadia war struck between the two countries. Since the King and Queen have passed, their daughter, Princess Arielle, 21, is left to rule on her own with her brother, Prince Athrun, 18.
Time has passed by and the war has only begun between the two empires. Archadia has decided to move west and take over Nabradia. Lord Rasler Helos Nabradia, Prince of Nalbina, was murdered in that battle. The air of hope that surrounded Lady Ashalia B'nargin Dalmasca and Lord Rasler's wedding was now lost. This would have been a great union between both countries and it angered Princess Arielle. Arielle and Athrun want this war her parents started to end and so she devised a plan. She plans to go undercover as an Archadian Soldier and corrupt the Archadians to go against the person behind the war, Vayne Solidor.
Archadia has already taken over the Nalbina Fortress in Nabradia. The late King, Raminas, was asked to sign a treaty and he accepted it. But he was assassinated before he could even sign it. Now, under Archadian control, the people of Nabradia have asked for Arielle's help.
