Just Cause/Script and Just Cause/Conversations
In Castle Crimea, Apostle Sanaki holds a meeting with Caineghis, Tibarn, Rafiel, Reyson, Leanne, and Elincia. Sanaki clarifies that, when she received the letter that the herons were scapegoated for the former apostle's assassination, she and Sephiran investigated the senate; when they attempted this, they were imprisoned by the senators. She reveals that she had to flee Begnion to escape further persecution from them. She then requests that the laguz tribes assist her in retaking Begnion from the senators; Caineghis accepts on the conditions that Begnion ends laguz slavery, that diplomacy can be restarted on a clean slate, and that a full alliance be made between their countries. Elincia agrees to this, and states that Crimea will join the alliance. Tibarn asks if Sanaki intends to return the Serenes Forest to the herons, which she confirms she will; Tibarn then agrees to join with her alliance. Sanaki thanks all of them for aiding her, and promises to accomplish the goals she laid out.
Afterwards, Sanaki meets with Ike and relays what happened during the meeting. Ike assures Sanaki that he and the Greil Mercenaries will continue to aid her; in response she then appoints him as the commander of all the combined forces, stating that, other than Zelgius who is unavailable, he is the only one who can command respect from all the forces involved. Ike reluctantly agrees, and is taken to meet the new troops he will lead.
Ike then relays his plan of action to Sanaki: that the army will march to Flaguerre once again, due to the Laguz Alliance's familiarity with the area. He also once again criticizes Sanaki for his position, saying that she will have to pay an incredible bill after the war is over. As a sort of payment ahead of time, Sanaki bestows the Ragnell to him once again. She recounts its history as one of the blades used by Altina, and Ike thanks her for it. Shortly after, they receive news that the Daein army has begun to approach Crimea, demanding custody of Sanaki on behalf of Begnion. As a result, the army is forced to redirect their attention from Flaguerre to Daein. Gallia stays behind for the battle, under Ike's command to keep his force's numbers low. He then begins his assault on the bridge leading to Daein.
As they continue the assault, Tibarn arrives alongside two other hawks and Leanne. Tibarn explains that Reyson passed out earlier and could not come with them. After Ike and the army clear out the bridge, Ike comments on how much stronger Daein has become. Sigrun and Tanith remark that the soldiers seemed obsessed with the "Maiden of Dawn"; in response, Ike compares her with Sanaki and the devotion the Holy Guard has for her. On the other side, Sothe gives Micaiah news that their front line has been broken. Micaiah orders a retreat, even though a Begnion inspector urges her to simply destroy the bridge altogether. After the inspector leaves, Micaiah collapses from exhaustion, and states that she feels her powers of foresight are fading away. Back in Gallia, Rafiel and Reyson hear a strange voice out of the blue. Sensing that it is coming from Daein, they decide to travel that way.
Beginning log
Apostle Sanaki arrives without warning at the Central Army's main camp in Crimea. With a strength born of conviction, she exposes the senators' vile plot to undermine and usurp her. Valtome counterattacks with a claim crafted by the senate-- that the apostle is a fraud who, along with her prime minister, Sephiran, is attempting to deceive all of Begnion and lead them away from the goddess's graces. To the citizens of Begnion, the senators are chosen by the goddess and are worthy of the same respect given to the apostle. As for the apostle, her image is tarnished when the senate imprisons Prime Minister Sephiran in her name. An ever-growing number of Begnion's citizens are willing to believe the senators' claim that the apostle is an agent of evil trying to deceive them. So it is that the Central Army is divided. One camp believes in the apostle, and the other supports the senate. This new turmoil fans the flames of chaos into a mighty conflagration, burning across Tellius.

This map's elemental affinity is Fire.
This chapter features pitfalls; these tiles will trap any grounded unit that steps on them, even if the unit does not end their turn on that tile. When stepped on, they inflict shock status for one turn and drop the unit to a lower altitude. After the unit leaves the pitfall, the tile becomes untraversable by grounded units. Enemy units will never step on tiles that are pitfalls.

- Note 1: Leanne arrives after a unit reaches column 18, thus her inventory cannot be managed during preparations or from the base.
Note 2: Jill and Zihark are only available if they defected in a previous chapter. If they did, they will not be available to Micaiah's party in future chapters.
At the start of this chapter, the Greil Mercenaries and the Crimean Royal Knights merge into one army; this grants the player access to the combined supply convoy and funds of both armies.

Trivia
- In the Japanese version, there are two Master Crowns added to the Supply Convoy in the beginning of this chapter. They are never brought to the player's attention and simply appear there without notice. These were removed in the Western version.
- This map previously appeared in Path of Radiance as the 23rd chapter, The Great Bridge. However, the player's army is instead on the right side while the enemy's army is on the left.
- Despite being the same location, the location name of this chapter is inconsistent with the Path of Radiance chapter. In Path of Radiance, this location is called "Riven Bridge". In Radiant Dawn, this location is called "Oribes Bridge" which is its Japanese name.
