Finale[edit]
Kamea Arano: I began this Restoration because my birthright was stolen… and I wanted it back.
Kamea Arano: Not for the people of the Reach, but because it was mine.
Kamea Arano: I wanted war for all the wrong reasons.
Kamea Arano: But on Weldry, I traded that naivete for nobler purpose.
Kamea Arano: Seeing my people's suffering with my own eyes… taught me why I must fight.
Kamea Arano: On Artru I found humility.
Kamea Arano: Blinded by righteousness, I was reckless in my pursuit of power… and it almost cost us the war.
Kamea Arano: On Guldra I learned to steel my heart.
Kamea Arano: I chose necessity over conscience.
Kamea Arano: A choice… that nearly broke me.
Kamea Arano: Finally, on Coromodir, the world of my birth, I found resolve - and, standing over my cousin's broken body… victory.
Kamea Arano: Only through these lessons, paid for in blood, did I become a ruler worthy of title.
Kamea Arano: A High Lady prepared to sit the Cormorant Throne.
Kamea Arano: The Protector of Coromodir.
Kamea Arano: The Sword of Restoration.
Kamea Arano: But this question still plagues me:
Kamea Arano: Am I a hero?
Kamea Arano: Did I sacrifice too much at the altar of victory?
Kamea Arano: Do my triumphs outweigh my mistakes?
Kamea Arano: War is a clash between conscience and necessity, an ocean of chaos and bloody compromise.
Kamea Arano: War shapes history, and history chooses its heroes.
Kamea Arano: As for you, mercenary…
Kamea Arano: You made the liberation of the Aurigan Reach a reality.
Kamea Arano: Every trial I faced would have been my last without your skill on the battlefield.
Kamea Arano: I still don't know if you fought for honor, or for the thrill of it.
Kamea Arano: For belief in my cause, or just my money.
Kamea Arano: But whether it was your noble heart or mercenary mind… your actions gave us hope.
Kamea Arano: That makes you a hero in the eyes of history.
Kamea Arano: And you know what?
Kamea Arano: It doesn't matter if you believe it.
Kamea Arano: Because others do, as I believed in the heroes of my father's stories.
Kamea Arano: After all, when we are gone… Stories are what remain.
