I trust Estinien is proving himself a useful addition to your band. Though I am here today in my capacity as a Temple Knight, I look forward to seeing the other former Azure Dragoon in action once more.
|
| After: Dragon Sound
|
|
Let me have a look at you. A touch nervous to enter the battlefield perhaps? Well, I shall be out there alongside you as a Temple Knight serving with your fine van.
Though I may not look it, I was the Azure Dragoon once upon a time. So you can rest assured I will give all that I have in the coming fight. I certainly won't be shown up by you or Estinien!
|
| Default:
|
|
Several of the Temple Knights are off on reconnaissance at present. We Ishgardians have seen our fair share of frost in the past years, so we are more than ready for this icy bout.
The Hrothgar from Bozja, on the other hand, are having a devil of a time adjusting to these chilly climes. The warming stones we lent them seem to have helped, though.
|
| Default:
|
|
As a knight, I am in sworn service to the people. Thus shall I commit myself to the protection of all those who haven't the arms to defend themselves, whomsoever they may be.
|
|
|
|
The time is upon us. Neither you nor Estinien will break under the coming onslaught, of that I am sure. I too vow not to bend, to see us to victory. By my lance, I do swear.
|
| After: Eye of the Dragon
|
|
Greetings, Forename. I trust you have been dedicating yourself to honing your skills as a dragoon.
|
| As a different Job After: Dragoon's Fate
|
|
Ah, Forename. A pleasure to see you return. Though I cannot help but observe your garb—you have not abandoned the path of the dragoon, have you?
|
| After: Friends through Eternity
|
|
Greetings, Forename. I yet struggle to fully grasp the scale of the search we are dealing with. It shall doubtless prove a formidable challenge indeed.
|
| After: Dragon Sound
|
|
Ah, Forename. Our young dragon friend has informed me of your trials and tribulations in the Far East. I was most glad to hear word of Estinien, however, I cannot help but wonder just how he found himself so far from Ishgard.
|
| How fare you of late? After: Heavensward
|
|
Yet again, the Holy See is bereft of its greatest champion... With all my heart, I pray that Estinien returns to us.
But until such time as he does, we must carry on as best we can.
|
| How fare you of late? After: Sky's the Limit
|
|
The most immediate concern is the mission to slay Graoully, which Heustienne is charged with leading. Pray lend her your strength, Forename.
|
| How fare you of late? After: Sworn Upon a Lance
|
|
I'll not mince words: the situation is grim. Graoully's reign of terror continues, and Heustienne remains unaccounted for.
Deprived of their finest warriors, the dragoons struggle to bear the burden. You are our sole hope in this dark hour, Forename.
|
| How fare you of late? After: Dragoon's Fate and Heavensward
|
|
The recent revelations have shaken Ishgard to its very foundation. Amidst this turmoil, the dragons continue their bloody rampage.
Deprived of their finest warriors, the dragoons struggle to bear the burden. But bear it they must.
For my part, I shall continue training the next generation of our nation's defenders.
Even with Nidhogg slain, the hatred his scattered Horde bears towards us is undying. As attack may not come this day or the next, but it will come, and we must be unceasing in our vigilance.
|
| How fare you of late? After: Friends through Eternity
|
|
Your slaying of Nidhogg's shade marked the end of the Dragonsong War.
There are of course members of the Horde that still harbor a fierce hatred in their hearts for the Holy See; some may even launch an assault upon us. However, their flame does not burn as bright as it once did.
We too have admittedly lost both Estinien and Heustienne, but the dragoons that remain grow in strength each day that passes. Ishgard need fear naught while we still draw breath.
We must also keep one eye on future generations. It is our duty to pass on both the traditions and techniques that have been born as a result of this thousand-year conflict; not to mention the truth behind it that you brought to light.
|
| What is a dragoon? After: Eye of the Dragon
|
|
The dragoons are an elite contingent of Ishgardian knights who serve to protect our nation from the wrath of the fearsome wyrms that would raze us to the ground. As you should know well, Forename, having been initiated in our ways.
The first—and greatest—of the dragoons was none other than Haldrath the Dragonseye, hero of the Founding Wars. It was he who drove back the great wyrm, Nidhogg, claiming the powers of the Eye for Ishgard.
Dragoons must display complete mastery of their chosen weapon, the lance, that they might stand against their immense foe. The leader of the dragoons is known as the Azure Dragoon, and is chosen by the Eye, a relic guarded within the Holy See which bestows upon the chosen one the power of the dragon.
And yet this power is as a double-edged sword, for if the dragoon does not maintain absolute control over his emotions, he shall fall under the thrall of the very wyrms that he would slay. But so it always has been—no great power comes without a cost.

| What is a dragoon? After: Friends through Eternity
|
|
The days when a dragoon's sole purpose was to slay Dravanians are gone.
They ended as soon as you helped bring a conclusion to the Dragonsong War by dispatching Nidhogg's shade.
Estinien's decision to abandon both the Eyes and the mantle of Azure Dragoon truly epitomize this sudden change.
One would imagine we dragoons will need to follow Ser Aymeric's lead by adapating to these new times. Many hailed him an Azure Dragoon for a new age in the wake of the thousand-year war.

| How fares the Ilsabard contingent? During: Best of the Best
|
|
I am grateful for the opportunity to play a part in the contingent's vital work. The others were kind enough to grant me leave, that I may assess the situation here in Coerthas. Though I plan to remain a while longer, I shall return to Ilsabard once my business here is concluded.
|

I and the other members of the diversionary force were sorely tested, but I am pleased to say each and every one of us made it back to camp. Aye, some might call it a miracle, though in truth, it was the result of careful planning and the various delegates working as a unified whole.
I must say, I had my doubts about Lord Emmanellain's ability to hold his own under such conditions. In the end, the lad acquitted himself rather well. I think we have his ongoing rivalry with Sicardo to thank for his newfound resolve.
Theirs was but one example of promising young warriors combining their unique strengths for a single purpose.

We of Ishgard hold the Fury as foremost among the Twelve, and our faith in Her lends strength to our lance arms. What is it that lends strength to those who know no law but their own?

- Biography
- Former bearer of the title of the Azure Dragoon, Ser Alberic presently serves with the Temple Knights. When Nidhogg stirred from slumber two decades past, it was Ser Alberic who sallied forth and forced the great wyrm into retreat. Despite his vaunted prowess, however, the dragoon could feel the Eye gnawing away at his essence day by day, and it was of his own free will that he surrendered its blighted power. He returned to the ranks of the Temple Knights and turned his hand to instruction. To measure his success in the role of mentor, one need only look to the accomplishments of his gifted student, Estinien, the present Azure Dragoon.
Alberic is 44 years old.
