When the three armies reached the [[Tower of Guidance]], they learned that Dheginsea and all of Goldoa, save for Kurthnaga, Ena, and Almedha, had sided with Ashera. Soon after this, the three were approached by Nasir, who accused Almedha of being the cause of everything that had happened, and saying that her decision to leave Goldoa had brought Tellius to the brink of destruction once before by risking dragging Goldoa into the Mad King's War, a risk only narrowly averted by Ike's victory over Ashnard.<ref name="almedhafault" /> As she was unable to fight, Almedha did not accompany Ike, Micaiah, and Kurthnaga into the Tower of Guidance. | When the three armies reached the [[Tower of Guidance]], they learned that Dheginsea and all of Goldoa, save for Kurthnaga, Ena, and Almedha, had sided with Ashera.

During his travels to and battles inside the Tower of Guidance, Pelleas had begun to doubt that he was Almedha's real son, and his suspicions were confirmed by [[Izuka]] when they fought him. After their victory over Ashera and the reversal of her judgement, Pelleas revealed this to Almedha and, despite her insistence, apologized to her for deceiving her, and thanked her for showing him what it was like to have a mother.<ref>{{Cite|'''Pelleas:''' I'm sorry.<br>'''Almedha:''' But that's...

Lady Almedha, is that the reason you thought me to be your son?<br>'''Almedha:''' I...<br>'''Pelleas:''' And that is the reason why Izuka chose me out of all the children at that orphanage.<br>'''Almedha:''' Stop! This is impossible! You are my son. I am your mother, and I say so!<br>'''Pelleas:''' Lady Almedha, your only memories of your son were of him as a baby. You yourself said so. In other words, he already had a mark, even as a child.<br>'''Almedha:''' Yes, that's so. What of it?<br>'''Pelleas:''' This mark–my mark, here–is called the ‘Spirits' Protection.' When I was thirteen, I chose to make a pact with the spirits.<br>'''Almedha:''' What?!<br>'''Pelleas:''' When I learned that you were one of the dragon clan, I began to doubt.

I'm sorry, but I am not your son.<br>'''Almedha:''' P-Pelleas...<br>'''Pelleas:''' But still... I was happy. It was fleeting, but... I knew the feeling of a mother's love.

Ah...sniff...|[[Pelleas]] and Almedha|Radiant Dawn}}</ref> Pelleas gave Almedha a hint to the identity of the man he believed to be her true son: [[Soren]], [[Ike]]'s tactician. Almedha had a brief meeting with Soren as the various allies of Ike and Micaiah parted ways, and while she did not reveal herself to be his mother, she was proud to see what he had become.<ref>{{Cite|'''Almedha:''' You are Ike, of the Greil Mercenaries?<br>'''Ike:''' And you're the dowager Queen of Daein. I've heard some of what you've gone through. I'm glad you're safe.<br>'''Almedha:''' Ah, indeed.<br>'''Ike:''' In light of that...Can I do anything for you?<br>'''Almedha:''' I think not. I think I have seen enough.<br>'''Ike:''' As you wish. Well then, Lady Almedha, Prince Kurthnaga. Take care of yourselves.<br>'''Kurthnaga:''' Yes. And you as well. I know we shall meet again. Are you satisfied, my sister? You wished so strongly to meet with General Ike.<br>'''Almedha:''' I only did so because Pelleas said...He said that it would be wise if I were to meet with him.<br>'''Kurthnaga:''' Did he say why?<br>'''Almedha:''' That child, he said. It was the last gift he gave to me. He wouldn't say anything more.<br>'''Kurthnaga:''' A gift? By meeting General Ike?<br>'''Almedha:''' What about that beorc could possibly be...wait... Ah! Wait!

I was confused.<br>'''Soren:''' Don't let it trouble you. If you'll excuse me.<br>'''Almedha:''' I don't believe it.<br>'''Kurthnaga:''' That boy is the staff officer for the Greil Mercenaries.

Maybe I wouldn't be able to...That I might not be able to recognize my own child. But when her own true son stands before her, no mother could fail to know.
