The Glorious Ascension

Location Saint Tower New units Douglas Boss(es) Windham Previous chapter(s) Storming the Capital Next chapter(s) Ocean's Parting (Ilia route) The Bishop's Teachings (Sacae route)

“	This is the Tower of the Saint. Saint Elimine's weapon, the Aureola spell book, lies here.	”	— Douglas to Roy

Which set of the next four chapters (and potentially sidquest) is played after this one depends on the combined experience of four units: if the sum of the experience gained by Shanna and Thea is greater than or equal to that of Sue and Sin, the Ilia route will be played; otherwise, the Sacae route will be played.

Beginning log

At the request of King Mordred, Roy headed for the Tower of the Saint on the outskirts of Aquileia. The Tower of the Saint was a place of worship for Saint Elimine, one of the Eight Heroes. In the tower lay various holy relics relating to her. However, the sacred tower was under the control of Bishop Windham, who had rebelled against the Elimine Church by Roartz's orders.
