The holy island of Noctera lay in ruins. Everyone upon it had perished after the last battle between Frey and his companions and Blattier.
That sacred island ..meant to be a heaven on earth ..had become nothing but a stretch of rubble and wreckage.
Yet across that vast expanse, one place stood untouched by the fighting: the golden World Tree, which had served as a shield for everything beneath it.
The World Tree blazed brighter than ever, having taken the promised hero, Snow Lionheart, into itself.
The rush of aura was majestic—so much so that Frey couldn't help but be impressed. Gold flooded everything, the World Tree like a sun that banished the darkness.
Saint of Dawn, Liora, together with Uriel, guided the hero and made the rite possible. Uriel's role was largely secondary—Liora carried most of the weight—but it was a valuable experience for the new saint, and Liora deliberately kept her close.
