As Aymeric and Lucia left despite the suspicious circumstances, they did not witness the fateful events that transpired after.Īfter Thordan explained his reasons, a speechless Aymeric was placed in the Vault for interrogation while labeled a heretic and his command over the Temple Knights was taken by the Heavens' Ward. As Teledji Adeledji arrived several templars from Ishgard brought word of another Dravanian assault. Ser Aymeric and Lucia attended the Sultana's banquet in Ul'dah where he intended to formally thank the Eorzean Alliance for their contribution and vouched to recommend that the Holy See joins forces with the other city-states. With the aid of adventurers, sellswords, the Crystal Braves, and the Warrior of Light, the main host was routed, with Nidhogg's champion Vishap slain at the Steps of Faith. Matters were complicated due to Lady Iceheart sabotaging the outermost ward of Daniffens' Collar rendering the city-state more vulnerable, and Aymeric had no choice but to ask Alphinaud to gather aid from the Scions and the Eorzean Alliance. He introduced Lucia goe Junius, the taciturn knight standing beside him, as his second-in-command, and asked them to speak with her if he could not be reached in the future.Īymeric oversaw the defense of Ishgard due to Nidhogg's song rallying the Dravanian Horde. The nobles of Ishgard were reluctant to open trust to outsiders, a stance Aymeric would attempt to improve through his station. Aymeric confirmed, as it had everything to gain from the settlement flourishing and denying the Horde an avenue of assault. Now why do you suppose that is? Because I swiftly learned to tell the difference between words, deeds, and beliefs.Īs the subject returned to the matter of the Keeper of the Lake, Alphinaud accused the Holy See of using Revenant's Toll to protect its southern front.
Aymeric noted the incident with Shiva could lead to a change of policy.ĭo you know what sort of man becomes lord commander of the Temple Knights? One who comes from good stock. Ishgard had stayed out of the primal affairs, since despite losing two Vigils to the Dravanian Horde, Garuda never stormed the Gates of Judgment. This being the first time the Holy See had to deal with a primal, he thanked the Scions for their aid, as otherwise it was unlikely their knights could have handled such a being. Once the threat of Shiva was eliminated, Aymeric called another meeting in Dragonhead. After being interrogated by Marshal Ilberd, the merchant was turned over to the Temple Knights for further questioning. The merchant was wanted by the Crystal Braves for his connections to an imperial spy known as "the Ivy". With the threat of heretics escalating, Aymeric dispatched his Temple Knights to Whitebrim Front to assist Lord Drillemont's men in investigating Snowcloak.Īfter an exploratory search in the Snowcloak tunnel system ended with Iceheart escaping through an Aetheryte, a merchant was caught dealing with the heretics near the Observatorium. In investigating the incident, Alphinaud realized the heretics were trying to summon their Saint Shiva as a primal. The Dragonstar had brightened and Ishgard's astrologians believed it to herald the resurrection of the wyrmking Midgardsormr.Īs Alphinaud agreed with Aymeric's terms, a House Fortemps knight burst in to inform Iceheart's Harriers had raided another caravan. In exchange for ensuring the supplies to Revenant's Toll continued, he asked that the Keeper of the Lake in Mor Dhona be watched closely.
When Alphinaud asked why he called the meeting if Ishgard's policy had not changed, Aymeric clarified he came not just as a representative. On top of all, Ishgard's knights were devoted to the Dragonsong War with the Dravanian Horde. While cognizant of the Garlean threat and the potential invasion, the current garrisons had remained quiet since Gaius van Baelsar's death, and so Ishgard saw no urgency. Aymeric disagreed, as the Ixal had so far directed all hostilities to Gridania and not the Holy See, and thus had deemed Natalan to not be a threat. Requesting the Warrior of Light to accompany him, Lord Haurchefant showed them to the fort's intercessory where the meeting would take place.Īfter exchanging pleasantries, Alphinaud urged that Ishgard rejoin the Eorzean Alliance due to persistent threat posed by primals and the Garlean Empire. After the Holy See's long silence towards the other city-states, Ser Aymeric called for a meeting with Alphinaud Leveilleur at Camp Dragonhead. Ser Aymeric was born the illegitimate son of Thordan VII, having risen to the ranks of Lord Commander of the Temple Knights despite the social stigma held against him.
