about the translation...

[superbus]

I said he'd already done it. Re-read my post. Go ahead; it won't hurt. I wasn't around when he asked the question, because I was out. Therefore, I gave my opinion after the fact.

Chapter 18A The Frozen River

After defeating the former governor of the Western Isles, Alucard, Roy headed toward the frozen land of Ilia. When they entered the thick forests unique to Ilia, lost elder magic awaited them, as well as the Ilia Occupation Army led by bishop general Martin of Bern's northern division...

In the castle
Martin: Dame Niime is here? Good. Bring her here.
Niime: Do you want something of me?
Martin: You are the "Mountain Hermit," Niime?
Niime: I'm surprised that even now, there are people who call me by that name. I am Niime.
Martin: I heard that you can use the elder magic tome from the Scouring. Is that true?
Niime: I believe so. I, as a dark magician, have researched elder magic for decades.
Martin: I heard that the tome can control weather.
Niime: Perhaps it is true.
Martin: Then I command you to use the tome to cause a tempest, causing the river to flood, forcing the attacking Etruria Army to stop.
Niime: That is what is expected, but what will happen, I do not know. In addition, the tome you hold can only be used once.
Martin: Enough! Just follow orders! Before, you said you wanted to join this army! Now is the time to show your sincerety!
Niime: ...

At Roy's camp
Roy: Princess Guinivere... Our army will approach Bern shortly.
Guinivere: ...yes...
Roy: Then, there will be more battles with the Bern army. Soon, we will be engaging Bern's home guard.
Guinivere: ...
Roy: Before then, there is something I want to ask you.
Guinivere: What is it?
Roy: A few days ago, I heard that King Zephiel murdered Bern's former king... his own father... to seize the throne... I believe it to be false. It can't be true, because you had the will to abandon your own country, all to stop him. If King Zephiel is really such a cruel man, you would not make such a sacrifice for him, right?
Guinivere: ...
Roy: That you gave the "Fire Emblem" to me, only to aid in fighting Bern, is because you felt that you still could not find the "path to peace" ...
Guinivere: Lord Roy...
Roy: So, I beg of you, tell me the truth yourself?
Guinivere: I'm sorry... time... please give me some time...
(Guinivere leaves)
Roy: Princess Guinivere!
Merlinus: What happened? It's rare to see the Princess panic like this...
Roy: ...Nothing. How is it on your side?
Merlinus: We've gathered much information. It looks like we have trouble: Among the enemies, there is a dark magician named Niime.
Roy: Dark magician...
Merlinus: She is an expert in elder magic, and her knowledge is deep...
Roy: But, we have no choice. We will advance with care!

After some time
Martin: Hey! Have you finished?
Niime: ...To tell you the truth, I do not know what will happen.
Martin: It doesn't matter. Start!
(Niime starts casting)
Martin: This...! The river... the river is frozen!
Niime: Ah... this happened...
Martin: You bastard! You did this on purpose!
Niime: What are you talking about? I said I don't know what will happen...
Martine: Shut up! Guards! Take her to the dungeon.

After the battle
Roy: May I ask your name?
Niime: Me? I am the one called Niime. Normally, I hide in the mountains and research elder magic.
Roy: Didn't you freely join Bern? Why did...
Niime: Haha, that is but a convenience, because there are things I would like to find out in Bern's army.
Roy: Things you want to know?
Niime: About dragons.
Roy: !
Niime: Your color changed. It looks like I've hit a sensitive spot.
Roy: ...Not the dragon knights' flying dragons, but Bern's...
Niime: Yes, those, the dragon brood that is supposedly destroyed in the Scouring...
Roy: How could you have know...
Niime: I first thought that the war that Bern started was just an ordinary war, but after closer observation, I found some ominous things in the army, so I came to investigate.
Roy: Have you found anything?
Niime: No. There were impediments to my progress. The mysteries surrounding the dragons are many. I secretly read some of Bern's ancient tomes, but I did not find any useful information. But... if they continue to act this way, they may cause the demon dragon to revive...
Roy: The chief of dragons that the hero Hartmut fought?
Niime: Correct. Originally, dragon's durability and intelligence, compared with humans, are undisputedly superior. But... the believed deciding factor in the Scouring... This is but a hypothesis: The writings in ancient tomes tell of a demon dragon with the ability to produce countless dragons...
Roy: Are you saying that if Bern revives the demon dragon, then they can use it to produce large numbers of dragons?
Niime: Something like that... I have a request. I want to solve the mystery of the dragons. May I travel with you? You won't lose much anyway.
Roy: All right... We want to know more about dragons as well. Of course, there is some danger, but if you are willing...

[Arf]

so wasn't Niime jes using Apocolypse? Why doesn't she come with it? and was Iuodun the demon dragon from the scouring?

[tcaz2]

A question... is it possible for you to do the side-quests too? I know your using the chinese script and I'm hoping they have the gaiden chapters... if not, thanks anyway, great job!

[Standard Addition]

Sorry about the lull. I'm on a rather slow modem right now, so I sort of skipped logging in.

Chapter 18B: Law of Sacae

After defeating the governor of the Western Isles, Alucard, Roy finally advances toward the Sacae plains. Since Bern's invasion, the anti-Bern tribes and the Jute tribe that cooperated with Bern were mostly destroyed. Among the remaining ones was the defeated chief of the Kutolah, called the "Grey Wolf" Dayan, who led a band of guerillas and continued resistance. As soon as Roy arrived at the plains, he found the Jute, the plain’s largest tribe, using Sacae tribes’ special battle tactics, blocking his way.

Enemy camp
Soldier: The Etruria army has appeared at the west.
Monk: Oh. Lead them to our territory and let them know our might. Do the other tribes know of this?
Soldier: Yes. Although we face great resistance for being allies with Bern, they would not watch and do nothing in the face of Etruria’s invasion.
Monk: Yes. This, compared to battling the Grey Wolf, is much easier. The opponent is but an invading army.
Soldier: In the face of invaders, we must unite and fight back.
Monk: Yes. This is the law of Sacae. But the other tribes can’t interfere in the inter-tribal wars between the Grey Wolf’s Kutolah tribe and us
Soldier: Then, we follow Bern’s army…
Monk: Correct! But there is much hatred toward Bern’s control of Sacae.
Soldier: So it is. During our battles with the guerillas, we’ve heard that there are many tribes that hold the same view as the Grey Wolf.
Monk: Tsk. That idiot who lost his tribe still does not understand that the fate of opposing Bern is death.
Soldier: Because the city Bulgar opposed Bern, it was attacked and occupied.
Monk: If we but follow the stronger, we will be victorious. To this end, it’s convenient to use the obsolete law of Sacae, heheh.

At Roy’s camp
Roy: Princess Guinivere… From now on, we will be advancing towards Bern.
Guinivere: Yes…
Roy: Increased conflicts with Bern will follow, and soon, we will engage Bern’s army in open combat.
Guinivere: …
Roy: Before then, there is something I want to ask you.
Guinivere: What is it?
Roy: A few days ago, I heard that King Zephieh… he murdered the former King, his own father, to seize the throne… I believe the rumor to be false, because… it is not the truth! Because you abandoned your open country to stop him. If King Zephiel is really the cruel man the rumors say he is, you would not do such a thing for him, right?
Guinivere: …
Roy: That you entrusted the Fire Emblem to me for the sole purpose of fighting Bern is because you felt that you could not find peaceful path you sought…
Guinivere: Lord Roy…
Roy: So, I beg of you, can you tell me the truth in your own words?
Guinivere: I’m sorry… time… please give me a little time…

After the battle
Merlinus: They were tough opponents.
Roy: No matter. After we defeat Sacae’s largest tribe, we must defeat the remaining in one swoop!
Merlinus: Then, they will begin the counter-attack.
Roy: Have you found their gathering place?
Merlinus: I have sent out some scouts. They will return with news shortly. Please wait a bit longer.
Guinivere: Lord Roy…
Roy: Princess Guinivere, what’s wrong?
Guinivere: Didn’t you want to ask me something? About my brother…
Roy: …Is it all right?
Guinivere: Yes… I want you to know the secret of Bern’s royal family before entering Bern. A few days ago, you asked whether my brother, Zephiel, murdered the former King.
Roy: Yes…
Guinivere: If you want an answer, it’s true…
Roy: ! Then, Zephiel murdered his own father to gain the throne…
Guinivere: It’s not like that!
Roy: It’s now? He did not assassinate the former King for the throne?
Guinivere: No… the first to plan an assassination… was father…
Roy: Eh? Then, then King Zephiel was…
Guinivere: Unable to endure his cruel ways. He, with his own hands… murdered fa… father…
Roy: Is that the truth?
Merlinus: Lord Roy, we found the enemy’s gathering place! Oh? What happened with you two?
Guinivere: No… Ah… lets speak of this later…
Merlinus: Did I come at a bad time?
Roy: No. Not at all. About that: Where is the enemy’s gathering place?
Merlinus: At Bulgar.
Roy: Bulgar? I’ve heard of it.
Merlinus: Right. It’s Sacae’s largest city. After Bern’s occupation, it became desolate…
Roy: Is that so… Understood. We’ll advance there!
Roy: But, Bern’s former King… his own son… why…

Hey, I'm just wondering: did anyone do Chapter 12? Not the Gaiden chapter, mind you - it seems to be missing, and that's putting a HELL of a kink in my gameplaying expierence.

[Arf]

Awoowowow....yh
its been missing

[InfiniteMasterEx]

And the some of the Gaidan chapters are missing (like 14x and 16x.) And i wanna see all the special boss battle quotes.

[killaGAW]

He said earlier the source he was translating from doesn't have boss quotes.

[Tiger of the Wind]

Yes. Fire Lizard at GameFAQs has translated chapter 12.

On a side note, Fire Lizard's FAQ is now also up to chapter 18. Go there for the gaiden chapters, boss quotes, house visitation dialogue, etc -- you know, those things that I don't have.

[superbus]

I did get the Fire Lizard translation for Chap, 12, though I prefer to use Kern and... whatever your name is this week.

At this point, I'm just stuck at Chap. 19 (Sacae route) until translation picks up.

[Guest]

I will do from chapter 21 if u guys want, cuz im at Ilia route, and i dont really know sace route...so i wont be able to know whos who... But im 3 chapters away from 21, so u guys probably need to wait a day or two...

[superbus]

Whatever. I'm not one for stepping on toes, so if he's still doing it, I'll wait for Blanchard Tex Dorothy Vampire Boy... ah, fuck it.

[Jet Enduro]

Guest can you really translate kanji? If you want to help the FESSers out you can do a translation of the Support Conversations. =P
