Dialogue
*You approach the Swordhaven bulletin board, finding the bulletin for the Tournament of Champions.*
<Character>: So, this is the posting. The Tournament of Champions. And... yes, it looks like the reward is an audience with King Alteon!
<Character>: It's worth a shot. If the King is funding The Rose, he needs to be made aware of their actions.
*As you run away from the bulletin board toward the Swordhaven Coliseum, a hooded figure watches you closely.*
???: . . .
*At the Swordhaven Coliseum, the crowd appears to cheer, while Rose Soldiers stand guard below; you and several other potential competitors gather around the event's announcer.*
Announcer: Hear ye, hear ye! Come one and all!
Announcer: Welcome to Swordhaven's annual...
Announcer: "TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS!"
Announcer: Are you all excited? Good!
Announcer: Newcomers and familiar faces alike have gathered here today...
Announcer: ...but only ONE will emerge as the grand tournament champion!
Announcer: This year's winner will receive a hefty sum of gold...
Announcer: ...as well as an audience with His Majesty, King Alteon himself!
*Scene pans upward to show King Alteon watching from above; you look up toward him, smiling.*
Announcer: As you may have... *ahem* ...noticed today, the Rose will be providing us with security during this event.
Announcer: The amount of soldiers have been increased tenfold in order to prevent any potential mishaps from happening.
Announcer: So rest assured—your safety is our top concern!
Announcer: Now then...let's get this tournament underway!
Announcer: We have an interesting lineup here today...
Announcer: Including...hmm...
Announcer: Oho! Now here's a treat!
Announcer: With us today is a four-time tournament champion...
Announcer: A man who has recently returned from a five-year journey across the seas!
Announcer: The undefeated legend himself!
Announcer: Will he take the championship once more?
Announcer: Please give a warm welcome to...
Announcer: FAAAAAAANGBLAAAAAADE!
*Fangblade leans against a pillar, distancing himself from the other competitors; he fails to even acknowledge his dramatic introduction.*
Announcer: And with that, contestants, please follow me!
Announcer: You'll be sorted into these brackets—
*You begin to follow the announcer to your bracket, when somebody captures your attention.*
???: Um...excuse me...
*The hooded figure watching you earlier is revealed to be a young woman with long green hair—a fellow competitor in the tournament.*
Falwynn: My name is Falwynn.
Falwynn: Are you...really...
Falwynn: ...the legendary <Character>?
<Character>: That's me!
<Character>: But "legendary" is a bit of a stretch...
Falwynn: You're as humble as they say you are.
Announcer: All contestants! If you have not been sorted into the east or west divisions yet, please come forward NOW!
Falwynn: Oh no, I'm sorry for taking up your time!
Falwynn: Please excuse me!
*Falwynn has raced off to be sorted into her division.*
<Character> (thinking): Interesting crowd...
<Character> (thinking): Hopefully His Majesty is paying attention...
*You too head off to be sorted into a division.*
West Bracket
Entrance
Guard: Ah, you're up first. If you have finished speaking to the other contestants, are you ready to begin?
- Yes! - proceeds to the next cutscene.
Jakob and Elaine
Jakob: Phew...all right. Gotta keep calm.
Elaine: Don't talk to me.
Sir Ruppenwaffles and Fangblade
Sir Ruppenwaffles: ... Perhaps I'm getting too old for this.
Sir Ruppenwaffles: Sir Hup would have a field day if he knew I was still doing this...
Fangblade: . . .
East Bracket Entrance
Falwynn: Oh, it looks like you're up, <Character>! Best of luck!
Guard: Only members of the tournament's east bracket are allowed through here.
*Once you have acquainted yourself with your competition, you begin your first round of the tournament.*
Announcer: Now then...let the tournament begin!
Announcer: In this corner...
Announcer: A veteran contender...and one of Oaklore's finest!
Announcer: Will he dazzle us once more with his expert swordsmanship?
Announcer: Give it up for...
Announcer: SIR RUPPENWAFFLES!
Announcer: And on this side...
Announcer: . . .
Announcer: ...this can't be right...
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, I don't believe this!
Announcer: I don't think there's anyone here who doesn't know who this person is!
Announcer: Is it really her/him?
Announcer: The famed <Class> her/himself... <Character>!
*The Rose Soldiers stand guard following this revelation; King Alteon begins to stand, attempting to get a closer look to see if it really is you.*
Rose Guard: Please sit down, Your Majesty...
*King Alteon glares at the Rose Guard, but obliges.*
Announcer: What an unexpected turn of events!
Announcer: This tournament may end up being the greatest one yet!
Announcer: Now...are the contestants ready?
*You stare at your opponent—Sir Ruppenwaffles—preparing for battle; Sir Ruppenwaffles readies his weapon.*
Announcer: Then you may BEGIN!
Sir Ruppenwaffles: Allow me to show you what true swordplay really is.

West Bracket
Entrance
Guard: Congratulations on that last match. Would you like to check on the other contestants? Or are you ready for the next match?
- Of course! - proceeds to the next cutscene.
Miles Wright, Benjamin, and Calico
Miles Wright: I've heard the next contestant uses a legendary rapier....
Miles Wright: Its name, "Igiari," is supposed to mean something... I wonder what?
Benjamin: Looks like I lost...
Benjamin: Well, I did my best. No regrets.
Calico: Oh no, I missed my match 'cause of a bathroom break!
Calico: I hope they let me back in...
Anya & Faolin, Falwynn, and Fangblade
Anya: Those Rose peons are everywhere.
Faolin: Yeah, it's hard to fight freely with someone watching over your shoulder the entire time.
Anya: Speaking of which...who was that big guy in the stands?
Faolin: The tall one with the cape? Who knows...
Falwynn: You did great out there!
Falwynn: I think you might actually win this!
Fangblade: . . .
East Bracket Entrance
Guard: Just stick to your proper bracket, and we won't have any problems.
*After a quick intermission and mingle with some other fellow competitors, you head back out for your second round of the tournament.*
Announcer: Now then...next up is another familiar face!
Announcer: A warrior from Swordhaven's very own court!
Announcer: What surprises will he bring today?
*The warrior blows the audience a kiss, seemingly knowing how to work the crowd.*
Announcer: Introducing...
Announcer: PHOENIX EDGEWORTH!
<Character>: . . .
<Character>: . . . . . .
<Character>: . . . . . . . . .
Phoenix: <Character>, huh?

Extreme Battle! - begins battle with Phoenix Edgeworth (1) (normal) / Phoenix Edgeworth (2) (easy).

West Bracket
Entrance
Guard: Ah, hold on there. Someone else is currently fighting. You can watch, if you're interested.
- Sure - proceeds to the next cutscene.
Janitor
Janitor: Ugh, why are these guys always carving their initials into the walls? It makes cleaning a LOT more difficult.
Janitor: "K.V."? Another no-name loser, I bet.
Kraven and Fangblade
Kraven: I...lost.
Kraven: How will I tell the others...?
Fangblade: . . .
East Bracket Entrance
Guard: That girl comes from the wilds of Lymcrest, huh?
Guard: I didn't think anyone still lived out there.
*After another quick intermission and mingle with a noticeably smaller pool of competitors, you head back out to watch Falwynn compete.*
Announcer: Amazing!
Announcer: She may be a new face at this tournament, but she's doing a great job so far!
Announcer: Can anyone stop her?
Announcer: Let's find out! Next up...
Announcer: ...is the man of the hour himself! The tyrant of the arena!
Announcer: Are you ready?!
Announcer: Give it up for...
Announcer: FANGBLAAAAAAAAADE!!
Announcer: She may be proficient with that crossbow, but let's see how Falwynn fares against the best!
Announcer: BEGIN!
Falwynn (thinking): All right...now what should I—?
*Before Falwynn can even think of a plan of attack, Fangblade breaks her crossbow with one of his axes, then kicks her to the ground.*
Fangblade: Out of my way, girly.
Fangblade: You're not worth my time.
Fangblade: That tournament championship...will be mine.
*Falwynn appears to be injured, with scratches on her arm and blood trickling from her mouth.*
Announcer: Ooh, that looked like it hurt!
Announcer: Now what's this—?
*Fangblade throws one of his axes directly toward Falwynn; still laying on the ground, she helplessly shields herself with an arm and closes her eyes; upon hearing the ax land in the ground nearby, Falwynn opens her eyes; to her shock—and the shock of the audience—you have come to her defense, standing between her and Fangblade.*
Fangblade: . . .
Fangblade: Looks like fortune favors the fool.
Fangblade: But next time, you won't be so lucky...
Fangblade: ... <Character>.
*Scene cuts to black; meanwhile, in Swordhaven's Ivory Tower, Jaania is writing on a scroll of parchment; deep in thought, she hears a knock at her door.*
Jaania: Enter.
*Amadeus enters.*
???: My Lady. I see you're not at your mirror today.
???: Am I interrupting?
Jaania: No, Amadeus. This is... a welcome distraction. What can I do for you?
Amadeus: I'm here with the monthly reports.
Jaania: Please, go ahead.
Amadeus: First, the Rosewood. There have been some reports of vandalism, as well as some creatures breaking free.
Amadeus: But it has all been taken care of, thanks to the efforts of Magus Hansa and General Akanthus.
Amadeus: Hansa has continued to be very efficient. She will be sending another batch of magical creatures to the Beastmaster soon.
Amadeus: Speaking of Hansa, and moving onto the next subject; the Sandsea.
Amadeus: The settlement of Duat is flourishing under Rose leadership. However, attempts to access the floating city have not been successful.
Jaania: Hm. Have Magus Hansa continue her efforts. The magic the Ateala possess is an unknown that we must account for.
Amadeus: It will be done.
Jaania: What of the conflict with the Vind? Have you found evidence to support the allegations of slavery and displacement?
Amadeus: I have. General Akanthus has not been subtle in his campaign.
*Jaania ponders this information.*
Jaania: I see. I shall have to speak with him. I know he means well, but these methods are unacceptable.
Amadeus: Predictably, Vind activity in Betrubung Swamp has not abated.
Amadeus: A border guard force was recently completely wiped out by the rebels.
Jaania (thinking): Kara... You're making things harder for yourself...
Amadeus: However, with increased Vind aggression, more are starting to believe in our cause. There are a lot of new recruits coming in.
Jaania: A shame it takes such extremes for people to open their eyes to magic's dangers. Still, we must not let them down.
Amadeus: Regarding Oaklore, there are the usual rumors and occasional bickering.
Amadeus: Amityvale's prospering. Our troops are keeping the werewolves at bay. Magus Neron is doing a splendid job.
Amadeus: There is, however, a problem.
*Jaania looks up at Amadeus, imploring him to continue.*
Amadeus: There are rumors that Safiria, the vampire queen, is becoming more active, along with other creatures of the night.
Jaania: . . .
Jaania: Investigate.
Jaania: Do not engage.
Amadeus: As for Falconreach...
Jaania: They're playing with the Vind, yes?
Jaania: Regardless, I'll continue to respect Alteon's wishes for the time being.
*Jaania continues writing, before pausing briefly.*
Jaania: Anything outside the kingdom?
Amadeus: A preliminary outpost has been assembled at the foot of Kaer Sierra and our mages have begun proceeding to the Fissure.
Jaania: I see. It was always a curiosity... but perhaps there is something to be gained from it after all.
Jaania: Send them a message that I will be arriving soon. I wish to see it for myself.
Amadeus: Will this visit of yours be before or after the ball?
Jaania: The ball?
Jaania: Oh, that... gala for ambassadors and dignitaries. I had fully intended not to attend but...
Jaania: Ugh... after.
*Cheers from the ongoing Tournament of Champions at the Swordhaven Coliseum can be heard nearby.*
Jaania: Why does this tournament have to happen now? I can't focus in these conditions...
Amadeus: Oh!
Amadeus: My apologies, I almost forgot. An unusual bird, carrying this letter, came in this morning.
Jaania: Hmm.
Jaania: I do not recognize this emblem...
*Jaania examines the letter, sealed with a purple wax stamp featuring an ornate letter "M" emblem.*
Jaania: Exactly how unusual?
Amadeus: A blue hawk.
*This revelation seemingly captures Jaania's attention; Amadeus observes Jaania's expressive reactions as she reads the letter.*
Amadeus: Is everything alright, My Lady?
Jaania: Well. They sure act quickly. This... may become an obstacle in the future.
*Jaania hastily composes a response to the letter.*
Jaania: Amadeus, find a way to send this back as my reply.
Amadeus: To whom, if I may ask?
Jaania: The letter was sent from the Capitol, in Azaveyr...
Jaania: From an order called "The Magesterium".
Jaania: Also, have someone look into this "Magesterium". They appear to be quite the influential and problematic bunch.
Amadeus: Right away.
Jaania: How are you feeling, Amadeus?
Amadeus: Pardon me?
Jaania: Are you feeling well?
Amadeus: As well as... I possibly can, My Lady.
Jaania: Is anyone bothering you?
Amadeus: No.
Jaania: That's good to hear.
Jaania: Neron wears his scars proudly, but I know he's suffering. I'd hate to think that—
Amadeus: I'm not like Neron.
Jaania: I know.
*After their somewhat peculiar exchange, Jaania permits Amadeus to take his leave.*
Jaania: You can go now.
Amadeus: My Lady.
*More cheers from the ongoing Tournament of Champions can be heard, as Jaania struggles to continue her writing; scene fades to black.*
To be continued!
