Dialogue

Cartian Dialogue

No matter. With this power, it is enough.
The throne of Tenebraum shall be mine for eternity.
You... You're saying you're my mother? Lies...
That can't be true—my mother is dead!
When I was a child, she was kind... warm...
There's no way—someone like you could be her!

Cartian Dialogue (Alt)

Cartian Completion

After that, I moved to Mediah and founded the village of Tarif.
There, I birthed the sorceresses using the knowledge I had gained.
In hindsight, I think... I just wanted to prove myself.
To leave a legacy, no matter the means. But in the end, I failed.
As Cartian of Tarif,
I lived a very long first life.

Cartian Post-Completion

After that, I moved to Mediah and founded the village of Tarif.
There, I birthed the sorceresses using the knowledge I had gained.
In hindsight, I think... I just wanted to prove myself.
To leave a legacy, no matter the means. But in the end, I failed.
But don't look so disappointed, Edana.
Among all those failures, you're the only sorceress I ever truly recognized.
As Cartian of Tarif,
I lived a very long first life.
