Please wait, learned Niime!

What? She’s gone? Did she
disappear?

I was certain she had turned this
corner, and yet...

You’re getting yourselves all worked
up searching for this Niime. What’s
the big deal?

All mages in Elibe know her name.

The renowned Mountain Hermit... Her
books are of such value to magecraft
that they are nearly priceless.

But some are here in the library
of Askr, I take it.

Yes. Lord Pent guessed that she
must have come here and then
written them.

A mage of such power intrigues me.
I am sure her instruction could be
of use to me—and Lady Edelgard.

OK, you got me. I’m interested
now too.

What a terrible racket. This is why
I’m known as a hermit. I can’t abide
a ruckus.

I hope sheltering me here isn’t too
much of a burden to you.

Not at all! My mother always said
I should respect my elders.

Your mother had a head on her
shoulders. Her words are a gift
to you.

I’m glad I found you. I’ve been
reading up on Nifl in the library here...
Your land was created by a dragon?

Niime Mountain Hermit Face FC
Niime
Fjorm Princess of Ice Face FC
Fjorm

Yes. Nifl was revered as both an ice
dragon and as a god, and I’m told she
took part in our kingdom’s formation.

Fjorm Princess of Ice Face Pain
Fjorm

Even though I met her, it was all so
strange, and it doesn’t quite feel
real to me...

What was that?

Niime Mountain Hermit Face FC
Niime
Fjorm Princess of Ice Face FC
Fjorm

Oh, nothing! I’m just mumbling
to myself.

A dragon that lends its power to
mortal man... We must assume it
is an ally, not a foe.

Pardon?

You see, I’ve been researching
dragons for a long time now.

Researching exactly what they mean
to mankind...

Niime

I have studied elder magic deeply.
Perhaps you think of it as “dark
magic,” Princess.

And alongside it, I have also learned
much about dragons.

If I am not mistaken, you are from
Elibe. It is strange, isn’t it? People
and dragons, in every world...

Their fates are always bound.

Fjorm Princess of Ice Face FC
Fjorm

Niime

A thousand years before I was born,
dragons and men fought a fierce
battle for dominance.

I have heard this before from others
from Elibe. You’re talking about
the Scouring.

Fjorm Princess of Ice Face FC
Fjorm
Niime Mountain Hermit Face FC
Niime

I see you have a studious heart.
Never lose that quality. It sustains
our minds, allows them to grow...

But I should return to the topic at
hand. The Scouring meant that
mankind would never trust dragons.

Dragons became objects of terror.
They were viewed as the means
to destroy the world.

Destroy the world! The relationship
between humanity and dragons
is quite different in Elibe!

Fjorm Princess of Ice Face Anger
Fjorm

Not only did a dragon create my
homeland, but the same is true
of Askr.

I have always seen dragons as
partners with humanity. Powerful
partners.

*sigh*

Ah! My apologies. I know this is
merely my own opinion on the
matter...

Fjorm Princess of Ice Face Pain
Fjorm
Niime Mountain Hermit Face FC
Niime

Oh, don’t fret, now. The world stays
interesting thanks to the proliferation
of perspectives.

This is not just true, it’s important.
A meeting like this can change my
own thinking.

What are dragons? It seems I am
still in the midst of coming to my
own answer.

Niime: Mountain Hermit - A

Niime

What are dragons to mankind? Do
they bring us ruin, or grant us power?

Askr’s library is the ideal place to
study this question. It holds text
from across the worlds.

My knowledge of dragons can
become as diverse as the realms
whose wisdom is gathered here.

It is certainly an impressive collection.

Fjorm Princess of Ice Face FC
Fjorm
Niime Mountain Hermit Face FC
Niime

It is a true joy to be this old, yet still
have so much to learn.

I do, however, have to contend with
a boisterous crowd who themselves
seem overjoyed by this prospect...

Haha. I think that they simply
wish to share in your knowledge.

Fjorm Princess of Ice Face Smile
Fjorm
Niime Mountain Hermit Face FC
Niime

Do they, now? My research is plenty
to keep me busy!

The more I peer into the question,
the more I learn just how different
the views of dragons are...

It is fascinating! It changes from world
to world.

In Archanea and Jugdral, some
dragons assist humanity and are
even part of their religions.

But there are fell dragons, and
shadow dragons—feared for their
hunger to destroy mankind.

You might say they represent two
faces of dragons.

Fjorm Princess of Ice Face FC
Fjorm
Niime Mountain Hermit Face FC
Niime

Dragons create and dragons destroy.
Their variability is in itself quite
interesting.

According to the legends of Fódlan,
the dragons were guided by a
goddess to create the world.

But a dragon of Valla was so
consumed by its rage that it
threw that world into calamity.

In Valentia, the dragons said to have
created the land lived long and lost
themselves to their base instincts.

Their power was great, but they
were unable to hold on to
themselves.

Fjorm Princess of Ice Face Pain
Fjorm

Dragons may possess power beyond
our ken, but they are not omnipotent.

Mentally, you could say they are
frail. Not so different from us, are
they, in that regard?

Ah!

You’re here in Askr too? Hooray!

You’re as cheerful as always, aren’t
you, Fae?

It seems you two know each other.

We do. This child is like a

Oh, Nana Niime! Listen! I’ve made a
LOT of friends since I got to Askr!

One of them is me, of course—Nowi!

Is this the “Nana Niime” we’ve been
hearing so much about, Fae?

Yup! She’s the one who gave me all
those toys!

Well, if Fae is so happy to see her,
that is certainly more than enough
for me.

Did somebody say “toys”?

Oh, yes. Look at this ball. See how
the light twinkles...

Amazing! Wait, what’s this? No,
this! Wait, no—THIS!

Mother, I think you’re getting carried
away. But, ooh... It is rather pretty!

How soothing! Gazing into that
magical ball, I mean. It really is
beautiful.

They seem to be having a great
time, don’t they?

Fae was the one who taught me
that not all dragons are the
archenemies of mankind.

I had thought of dragons as fearsome
monsters, imbued with an ineffable
power.

But as you can see, these girls are
full of smiles.

Niime Mountain Hermit Face FC

Fae Divine Dragon Face FC

I like it when you pat my head, Nana
Niime.

I owe you girls an apology. I used
to look at dragons only in terms of
man’s struggles against them.

Niime Mountain Hermit Face FC
Niime
Nah Little Miss Face FC

It’s only natural. For both sides.

Just don’t forget that we want to
see everyone living together with
a smile too.

Myrrh Great Dragon Face FC

A world where everyone can live
together with a smile... That young
fool said something similar.

Princess Fjorm, consider this...

Dragons are strength—a strength
that is both pure and beyond
our understanding.

Now, that strength may be
tremendous, even cataclysmic.

But as long as we do not treat them
ill, dragons and mankind may live in
harmony.

I believe you are right. Peaceful
coexistence.

Fjorm Princess of Ice Face FC
Fjorm
Niime Mountain Hermit Face FC
Niime

How, though? How do we live
peacefully when faced with such
power?

We do not let it consume us.
We do not attempt to control it.

If we keep a respectful distance, it
will nourish us.

But we cannot take it for granted.
We must share OUR wisdom with
the dragons, for the sake of peace.

Nana Niime! Come on, it’s time for
me to show you around the castle!

Fae Divine Dragon Face FC
Fae
Niime Mountain Hermit Face FC
Niime

Is it? Well, then, let’s be off. I’m lucky
to have you as a guide.

You know, if she can keep smiling
like this, man and dragon will have
a happy future, hand-in-hand.
