Script	Video
Bharifhal: Presenting Naja Salaheem, President of Salaheem's Sentinels! Bharifhal: Also of Salaheem's Sentinels, presenting Mercenary rank and Player title, Player name! Bharifhal: Ladies and Gentlemen, your attention please. Bharifhal: The coronation ceremony of Nashmeira II, the 16th Empress of the Majaab Dynasty, will now commence. Bharifhal: Let us begin by offering our praises to Lord Alexander, the guardian of the Empire for a thousand years... Nashmeira: Master of Ceremonies! Bharifhal: !? Bharifhal: (Your Magnificence, it is not yet time for your address...) Nashmeira: We shall dispense with the formalities. We wish to speak with our guests directly. Bharifhal: (B-but, Your Magnificence! This breaks with customary protoc--) Nashmeira: This is our second coronation and we shall do as we please. Bharifhal: Of course, Your Magnificence... Bharifhal: Her Magnificence, the Empress! Wolfgang: (Hm? This girl?) Volker: (Why...she's barely more than a child...) Bharifhal: Ladies and Gentlemen, silence for the Empress. Nashmeira: My distinguished guests. Nashmeira: Many and varied events have befallen us...and we are certain there are those among you who hold little love for the Empire. Nashmeira: Yet despite all that has come to pass, you have chosen to bestow your blessings on our coronation... Nashmeira: ...for which we humbly thank you. Nashmeira: Traditionally, we would hold a grand ceremony that would span the entire nation... Nashmeira: However, as we desired your presence and acknowledgment, this somewhat more intimate setting was devised. Naja Salaheem: (The noble families...the high-rrranking officers...my business opportunities!) Nashmeira: Dignitaries of the Middle Lands. We regret the fear and confusion the hostile actions of our Empire have caused among your nations. Nashmeira: We also wish to express our most profound grief a the loss of life during the incident with the destroyed airship... Nashmeira: ... Wolfgang: Lift your head, Your Magnificence. Wolfgang: The crew members and Elvaan knights aboard the Endymion were indeed badly injured in the crash... Wolfgang: But thanks to the swift actions and expert first aid of Musketeer Naji, not a single life was lost. Nashmeira: Truly!? Nashmeira: Then you must allow us to dispatch Imperial alchemists to aid in their recovery. They are highly skilled in regenerative procedures... Halver: We gladly accept your offer of aid, Your Magnificence. Volker: Empress Nashmeira. I would like to discuss your intentions regarding the future of relations between the Empire and the Middle Lands. Nashmeira: A worthy topic...however, I believe our first step will be to rebuild the conditions that existed between our nations before recent events. Wolfgang: You wish to return to a neutral state of mutual non-aggression? Nashmeira: Yes... The beastman forces threatening the Empire have not ceased their assaults. Nashmeira: And despite the standoff, our war with the Eastern nations continues. It is impossible to know when Aht Urhgan will once again have a time of peace. Halver: You fear that if we should strengthen our ties, that the Middle Lands will be drawn into your conflicts...? Nashmeira: You are correct, Monarlais. ???: You must not be so defeatist, Your Magnificence! Karababa: ! Gessho: I must apologize for my late arrival. Nashmeira: Gessho! We are glad to see you back from your journey! Gessho: You are too kind, Your Magnificence. Your letter to the Mikado has been safely delivered. Naja Salaheem: That's where you'd gotten off to! Gessho: Yes, President Naja. I hope you might forgive my unauthorized absence. Nashmeira: Were you able to gain an audience with the Mikado? Nashmeira: You may speak freely, Gessho. This news concerns everyone present. Gessho: As you wish, Your Magnificence. The Mikado responded with these words: Gessho: "It will be difficult to negotiate a peace at this time." Nashmeira: This was not...unexpected... Gessho: However, the Mikado also stated he would raise the matter among the council of lords. Nashmeira: !!! Gessho: The East is a land of tradition. The Mikado is not free to act as he pleases--any decisions will require long consideration. Gessho: The same may be said of the Empire, if I may be so bold? Nashmeira: You are quite correct, Gessho. A sudden Imperial order to cease hostilities could spark a rebellion within our eastern forces. Gessho: I humbly offer my continued services as a conduit between the Empire and the nations of the East. I await your orders, Your Magnificence. Nashmeira: Thank you, Gessho. Naja Salaheem: Hmph. Someone's moving up in the world. Gessho: I have Player name to thank for my fortunes. Volker: I see Your Magnificence has begun the peace process on all fronts. Nashmeira: Yes, we hope to ratify a treaty of friendship with the Middle Lands even as we negotiate a peace with the East. Wolfgang: Are we not forgetting one rather "colossal" problem that remains? Nashmeira: The iron colossus... Yes, it still remains on Nyzul Isle, though badly damaged. Volker: Which means the Empire can give no guarantee that this doomsday weapon will not one day be repaired and used to threaten the peace of the world once more. Volker: The only solution to this dilemma is to destroy the device under the scrutiny of those present here today. Would you not agree? Nashmeira: Yes, that would be the obvious choice of action... Karababa: Except there is more to it than just an inanimate shell. Perhaps you should let us in on the secret as well? Nashmeira: We...we have detected a warp in the fabric of reality within the central core of the colossus. Volker: A warp in the fabric of reality? What are you saying...? Karababa: Allow me to illuminate: It appears the giant scrap heap has become an astral gate. Nashmeira: An...astral gate? Karababa: I hear a portal to the underworld exists in this land. In the Hazhalm Testing Grounds, I believe, though my information is secondhand. Nashmeira: Yes, that rent is how Odin entered our world... Karababa: I would think this gate to be a similar abberation: a link between the world of the avatars and that specific location. Nashmeira: ... Nashmeira: Would it then be possible to delay the destruction of the colossus? Volker: It seems we have no choice. Who knows what may happen if we tamper with such unpredictable energies... Karababa: Excellent! Then Windurst wholeheartedly agrees to maintain this fascinating rent! Karababa: Who knows what developments in magical knowledge could be made in this endeavor? And my interest in the astral candescences is as strong as ever! Nashmeira: The Empire thanks you! Halver: San d'Oria also gives her consent. Prince Trion has promised our full cooperation. Nashmeira: Oh! Prince Trion has always believed in us... Volker: I will take the matter of the colossus home to Bastok. The president must be consulted. Volker: However, I will give Bastok's blessings to your coronation. You hardly require our permission to regain control of your own Empire. Karababa: Dear Volker... Wolfgang: The Duchy of Jeuno agrees on the condition that the colossus be kept inoperable to ensure the safety of our airships. Nashmeira: Of course. We wish to have the full assistance of the Middle Lands in understanding this phenomenon. Bharifhal: Ahem! And now we shall finally commence the coronation ceremony. Bharifhal: And who shall have the honor bestowing the crown...? Nashmeira: We are decided. Nashmeira: Will you perform this last duty for us, Player name? Will you perform this duty? It will be my pleasure. <----- Chose this option! I cannot accept this honor... Nashmeira: Thank you, Player name... Ghatsad! The crown, if you please. Will you perform this duty? It will be my pleasure. I cannot accept this honor... <----- Chose this option! Nashmeira: We anticipated you would give such an answer. But I'm afraid the wishes of the Empress cannot be denied. Ghatsad! The crown, if you please. Bharifal: Ghatsad? The crown? Ghatsad: My apologies. The crown has been melted down. I needed a pure scintillant ingot... Bharifal: M-m-melted down! Have you lost your mind, man! Ghatsad: There were parts that had to be forged. I am sure the Empress will understand... Mnejing: Oof...might you not be a little more gentle with the recently repaired? Nashmeira: Mnejing...! Ovjang: <Yawn>... That was a lovely nap! Ovjang: It's good to see you, Nashmeira! Nashmeira: Ovjang! Nashmeira: You have earned your pardon, Ghatsad! They look as good as new... Nashmeira: Wait... We did not give any commands! How is this possible!? Ovjang: It's no big deal! Nashmeira: It's a very big deal! Ghatsad: These automatons were old models. They didn't have the independent functioning of current puppetmaster automatons...and were never able to talk without direct manipulation. Ghatsad: I took the liberty of installing high-grade memory chips that were recovered from the Ruins of Alzadaal. Ghatsad: As soon as I had completed the repairs and enabled the circuits, they started babbling like a dam that had been broken... Ovjang: Nashmeira! That gaping look is not becoming of a young lady! Mnejing: Shouldn't we be getting on with the ceremony? Mnejing: Of all the irresponsible... Nashmeira: Razfahd...? Ghatsad: Ahahaha... It appears Mnejing still retains some memories of his first owner. Bharifhal: Ahem... Nashmeira: Ah, we had almost forgotten. Player name was about to bestow our crown. Nashmeira: As you can see, the metal has been put to a more practical use... Nashmeira: Player name. Your blessing will be all the crown we require. Nashmeira: You have our eternal gratitude, Player name... Nashmeira: As do you all! Nashmeira: And now my most trusted subject...Naja Salaheem Zhwan! Naja Salaheem: Your Magnificence. Nashmeira: On the occasion of our coronation, we once again officially authorize Salaheem's Sentinels as a legitimate mercenary company of the Empire. Naja Salaheem: You honor me, Your Magnificence. Nashmeira: Furthermore, we award your company with one thousand Imperial platinum pieces. Naja Salaheem: One thousand platinum...!? Nashmeira: Naja, it is thanks to you that the capital still stands at all. Naja Salaheem: Your Magnificence... Nashmeira: The mercenaries you have trained, not the least of which is the heroic Player name, have faced endless dangers in the protection of Aht Urhgan. Nashmeira: I have already commanded my ministers to comply with your request for independence for your home nation of Zhwa. Nashmeira: We trust you will make good use of the coin you have received today to ease the poverty of your people. Naja Salaheem: Your generosity is overwhelming, Your Magnificence. Nashmeira: And finally... Nashmeira: We have been saved from the cataclysm of Ragnarok, as well as a war between the Middle Lands and the Empire. Nashmeira: This peace would never have come to pass if not for the courage and actions of Player name. Nashmeira: We do not know how we may repay such feats of heroism. Nashmeira: At the very least, we wish to present you with your choice from among the family treasures of House Majaab. Nashmeira: It would please us for you to have one of these rings... Ovjang: Player name, the choice is yours... Which do you choose? I...I can't decide... Balrahn's ring. <----- Chose this option! Ulthalam's ring. Jalzahn's ring. Nashmeira: Balrahn's ring? This was the ring worn by Balrahn, the most celebrated hero in the history of Aht Urhgan. Will you choose Balrahn's ring? Yes, I've made my choice. <----- Chose this option! Can I see the other rings again? Player has free inventory space Ovjang: A fine choice, Player name! Nashmeira presents you with Balrahn's ring! Player has no free inventory space Ovjang: Player name, is it possible that you didn't even leave enough room in your bag for a ring? Mnejing: A mercenary unprepared is a sad sight indeed. Return to the palace once the coronation ceremony is complete. Will you choose Balrahn's ring? Yes, I've made my choice. Can I see the other rings again? <----- Chose this option! Which do you choose? I...I can't decide... Balrahn's ring. Ulthalam's ring. <----- Chose this option! Jalzahn's ring. Nashmeira: Ulthalam's ring? This was the ring worn by Ulthalam, a famous patriot of House Majaab. Will you choose Ulthalam's ring? Yes, I've made my choice. <----- Chose this option! Can I see the other rings again? Player has free inventory space Ovjang: A fine choice, Player name! Nashmeira presents you with Ulthalam's ring!

Can I see the other rings again? Player has free inventory space Ovjang: A fine choice, Player name! Nashmeira presents you with Jalzahn's ring!

Which do you choose? I...I can't decide... <----- Chose this option! Balrahn's ring. Ulthalam's ring. Jalzahn's ring. Ovjang: Oho? I thought mercenaries were good at making snap decisions...? Ovjang: I suppose it is to be understood. They are all precious treasures handpicked by Nashmeira herself! Nashmeira: Player name... Nashmeira: From this day forward, we will be focused on learning the mountain of skills required to properly perform the role of Empress. Nashmeira: There will be no more time for adventures... Nashmeira: But we are glad to have had opportunity to meet you, Player name. Nashmeira: We hope you continue to be Aht Urhgan's champion. Nashmeira: And perhaps, one day... Nashmeira: But no, it cannot be. Farewell, Player name. Bharifhal: Honored guests. Bharifhal: Let us show our warmest appreciation for the heroes, Naja Salaheem and Player name! Volker: Your support for Ayame and Naji has been invaluable, Player name. I thank you on behalf of the Republic of Bastok. Halver: Prince Trion sends his regrets at not being able to attend, and also at missing Karababa: And Doctor Shantotto also sends her regards. She says, "Don't think that fate is done with dealing your cards!" Ohohohoho! Gessho: Player name. As a fellow mercenary, I look forward to sharing the same battlefield with you again sometime, somewhere... Player has free inventory space Mnejing: Here, take this as well. Mnejing hands you an Imperial standard! Mnejing: Your continued support for Nashmeira is most welcome. Player has no free inventory space Mnejing: Player name... I had hoped to present you with this Imperial standard, but you seem to be overloaded with items already... Mnejing: We cannot discuss this now... Return to the palace once the coronation ceremony is complete. Mnejing: In any event, your continued support for Nashmeira is most welcome. Mnejing: She is the hope for our uncertain future...the true treasure of Aht Urhgan.	This article is missing a video of the battle, mission, or quest. You can help by adding it.
