ラスラ・ヘイオス・ナブラデリア陛下の戦死はダルマスカ王国を見舞った悲劇の一つにすぎなかった。 王女アーシェ陛下の結婚がもたらした希望は失われダルマスは時代の荒波に呑まれようとしていた。

Prince Rasler's death was one of the many tragedies in the Kingdom of Dalmasca. The hope brought from Princess Ashe's wedding were lost as recent events engulfed the age like raging waves.

東のアルケイディア帝国と西のロザリア帝国がイヴァリースの覇権を争う、戦乱の時代。アルケイディア帝国は西方進出の第一歩としてナブラディア王国を侵略。ラスラ殿下の祖国は業火のもとに滅び、ついで帝国の侵攻を受けたダルマスカも同じ運命をたどりつつあった。

The eastern Empire of Archadia and the western Empire of Rozarria had disputes over each side's political control in Ivalice. It was a time of war. As its first step, Archadia headed west and invaded the Kingdom of Nabradia. Rasler's native land was detroyed by hellfire, while the invaded country of Dalmasca shared the same fate at the hands of the Empire.

ナルビナ城塞における敗北で、ダルマス力は戦力の大半を失っていたのである。忠勇なるダルマスカ騎士団は反攻を試みたが圧倒的に優勢な帝国軍に抗し得るはずもなくほぼ全滅に追い込まれた。やがてアルケイディア帝国は和平案を提示。　事実上の降伏勧告であった。

Dalmasca lost half of its military strength due to the defeat at the Fortress of Nalbina. The loyal knights of Dalmasca tried a counteroffensive strategy, but the Imperial forces were too great and eventually chased the knights down to near annihilation. Before long, the empire presented a peace treaty. In reality, it was merely counsel advising surrender.

わが旧友、ダルマスカ王ラミナス陛下はやむなく降伏を決断。和平協定に調印するため帝国軍占領下のナルビナ城へ向かった。だが陛下が王都ラバナスタを発った直後、わずかに生き残ったダルマスカの騎士たちは不穏な情報を察知する。

My old friend, King Raminas of Dalmasca, then reluctantly decided to surrender to the Empire. In order for the peace agreement to be sealed, imperial troops headed for the occupied Castle of Nalbina. However, right as his Majesty left the capital, Rabanastre, the few remaining Dalmascan knights sensed that uneasy news would soon come.

"和平協定調印式において国王暗殺の策動あり"

"Where there is a ceremony for peace agreements, there are also schemes of assassination."
