Memoirs 2
The dreadnaught Leviathan is sunk, and the 8th fleet Of the Archadian Imperial Airforce, lost.
As word of the events in Jagd sounded throughout the empire, I quit Bhujerba, citing sudden malady.
My true motive was to bring the various counter Imperial forces scattered throughout Ivalice together
in unified resistance.
By the time I had achieved this a month later Lady Ashelia had already made her return to Rabanastre.
She had not however made known her presence. Rather, she was content with keeping her own wherabouts,
and that of the Dawn Shard concealed. Had she then chosen to go before her people, my error in
announcing her suicide would become known. To the great detriment of my efforts to assemble a resistance.
In such circumstance as Lady Ashelia found herself in. Even if she were to declare Dalmasca restored, it would
only serve to invite the Empire's wrath. Though Archadia had lost her 8th fleet, she remained a millitary power
to be reckoned with.
