Data crystals

The **data crystals** (データクリスタル) are long, pillar-like crystals found in the Device Towers in Liberl.

## Background

The crystals and data encrypted within them date back from the early Dark Ages. The records were written by Celeste D. Auslese, founder of the Liberl Kingdom. Using the Capel supercomputer, Albert Russell manages to decrypt the data in the crystals. The data reveals a message from Celeste regarding the sealing of the Aureole.

The Data Crystal Z does not contain readable data, but instead information about Zemurian Ore and its processing into several types of weaponry, that Prof. Russell was able to use to develop the ore into usable weapons. The Crystal was also able to transfer another piece of ore from one of the terminals in the Cradle District.

In Chapter 5: "White Night Carnival" (白夜のカルナヴァル), the village is annihilated by Gerard Dantes using a reactor weapon and everyone there is killed. Among the people killed was Dingo Brad, who chose to stay and take pictures of the incident to expose Gerard's crimes on the orbal network with his camera surviving the destruction. According to the three disicples, Latoya Hamilton, Albert Russell and G. Schmidt, there is no fallout from the explosion.

v **·** e

**Professor Claude Epstein** (クロード・エプスタイン博士) also known as **C. Epstein** is the historical inventor and official founder of orbal technology, which utilises devices that operate by drawing orbal energy from septium. Epstein left various prophecies that have come to pass in the games.

## Profile

### Legacy

50 years prior to the events of *Trails through Daybreak*, Epstein designed the Trion Tower in Edith, the capital of Calvard.

During the Orbal Revolution, Epstein created eight prototypes for Orbment technology known as the Oct-Genesis.

Professor Epstein passed away in S.1154 with no known children by blood. His adopted daughter, Lillia Epstein, secretly went into hiding as Lillia Claudel without contacting Professor Epstein's three leading disciples for the rest of her life.

One year after his death, the Epstein Foundation was established in Leman, the birthplace of Professor Epstein. It was founded by his leading disciples: Albert Russell of Liberl, G. Schmidt of Erebonia, and L. Hamilton of Calvard. The foundation was dedicated to continuing Epstein's work.

It is possible that F. Novartis is related to Epstein or his foundation in some way given how he has the same naming convention that Epstein and his disciples use.

## Trivia

* In *Trails of Cold Steel III*, it was revealed in the side quest with the Eternal Kandelaar that Professor Epstein was one of the few people that knew how Artifacts could work.
* Based on comments from Campanella and Mariabell Crois in *Trails of Cold Steel IV*, Professor Epstein was also one of the few people that knew about The Beyond.

Introduction in *Trails from Zero*Concept Art
Dels

**Dels** is an inhabitant of the town of Ruan.

## *Trails in the Sky SC*

After Ruan's old mayor, Morris Dalmore, is arrested and forced to resign, Norman, the owner of the local hotel, steps up to the plate as one of the two people to succeed the position and Dels becomes one of his chief campaigners, acting as his strategist.

His devotion to his boss gets the better of him when he and his colleagues get into an argument with their rival Portos' men over a spot to hold a speech and the argument nearly turns into a full-blown public brawl, due to Dels accusing Portos' followers of staging the ghost sightings as a way to cause problems for Norman's family and sabotage his campaign. This causes Portos' men to lash out and Dels and Herio are about to trade blows with them when Olivier Lenheim appears and causes a distraction that defuses the stand-off. After he's had time to cool his head, Dels admits he went too far and feels sorry about escalating the situation.

Just before Estelle and her companions set out to fly to Zeiss, Dels is doing some work on the balcony just outside the hotel room that serves as Norman's headquarters when he suddenly gets knocked out cold from behind. Estelle and her team are called in and conduct an investigation of the incident and the suspects. Eventually it turns out that it wasn't the supporter of Portos who stopped by the hotel who knocked Dels out, but the balcony door, which Norman's son Belden kicked open due to having his hands full at the moment. After the misunderstanding is resolved, Dels and his boss resume their work on the campaign after he tells Belden that he won't hold an accident like that against him.

Dels and his fellow campaigner Herio are both competing to become Norman's number 2, but although they're vying for the same position, they remain on good terms and when asked about Herio during the investigation, Dels insists that his colleague is above reproach. Dels ends up winning the position, getting appointed as the mayoral secretary after Norman ends up winning the town elections. When the floating city of Liber Ark appears above the lake and causes a nation-wide orbal shutdown, Dels and his boss end up having their hands full coping with the chaos that takes over Ruan.

# Relations

Dels is an employee and subordinate of Norman

He's also a colleague and fellow campaigner of Herio
Citron

Citron is an inhabitant of the town of Bose.

Working as a sommelier at the exclusive Anterose restaurant, Citron is responsible for procuring, storing and serving the various wines on the restaurant's menu. This is slowly starting to get more troublesome for him during the air travel ban since all the wines he orders are delivered by plane. Fortunately for him, the Capua Sky Bandits are arrested and things return to normal before the restaurant ends up running out of wine completely.

He's originally from Erebonia and worked in a restaurant there and impressed Mayor Maybelle while she was visiting there. She offered him a job at the Anterose and invited him to come to Bose to have a look. After dropping by the restaurant to see it for himself, he liked the place so much he immediately agreed to work there.

While he wasn't working during the moment where Olivier drank the 20-year old Grand Chardonnay wine that was kept in the wine cellar, he feels pretty bad about its loss and feels guilty for not having been there to prevent Olivier from having taken the wine.

## Relations

Citron is the employee of Mayor Maybelle, a subordinate of Manager Lechter and a colleague of Lenore, Head Chef Ross and Gwen.
Carol

Carol is an inhabitant of the town of Bose.

She can usually be found near the food stands in the Bose Market. She visits the market on a daily basis in order to shop for food she uses to prepare dinner, but due to her indecisiveness, she never manages to make up her mind on exactly what food to buy and often just stands there going back and forth between two alternatives.

Hold on, it looks like Millium wants to tell you something.Hey-hey! White Rabbit here! Lammy scanned this article and said it contains **unmarked spoilers for all *Trails* games**. Turn back now if you don't want to get lasered! Okay, byee!

## Byronia Island

### Debut

* *Trails of Cold Steel* (by name)
* *Trails of Cold Steel III*

### Region

Lamare Province

v **·** e

**Bryonia Island** (ブリオニア島(とう)) is an island off the coast of Lamare Province, Erebonia. It can be reached by boat from Ordis.

## Background

Bryonia Island, known throughout Erebonia for its ruins, features a colossal statue similar to the one found in the Nord Highlands.

The statue is actually the empty shell of Ark Rouge, the Sept-Terrion of Fire. Around 1,200 years ago, around the time of the Great Collapse, Ark Rouge engaged in a fight with Lost Zem, the Sept-Terrion of Earth, in the area now known as the Osgiliath Basin. In the aftermath of the fight, Ark Rouge and Lost Zem merged to form the Great One, and Ark Rouge's remains were sent flying to its current resting place on Bryonia Island.

Although the island is currently uninhabited, there are still ruins of an old settlement. The ancient Bryonians lived in stone-made cottages reminiscent of igloos. They lived here until the Middle Ages, after which they abandoned the island.

The Bryonians were traditionally animists, who offered prayers at an altar. In S.1206, when Rean Schwarzer and Class VII light the animist statues spread throughout the island, the altar reveals itself as the **Sol Shrine** (陽霊窟).

## *Trails of Cold Steel*

### Background

Class VII's Group B travel to Bryonia Island during one of of their field studies. This event is not seen in game, but is mentioned. The participating members comment upon the giant stone figure.

## *Trails of Cold Steel III*

### Background

Rean and the new Class VII come to Bryonia Island during their field exercise in the Lamare region. Rean is on the hunt for Millium Orion, whose trail ends up here. After exploring the island, they discover several animist monuments that, when combined with Emma's Hexen pendant, together reveal the Sol Shrine. Inside, Rean faces the Stahlritter and Arianrhod, who are using the location's mana to charge the Aion Type-α II.

## *Trails of Cold Steel IV*

### Background

Rean and his companions return to the Sol Shrine to meet up with Crow Armbrust and Duvalie who is assisting him. There, Crow reveals to them the purpose of the Rivalries and starts the first one, in which Valimar and Ordine fight to the death. Valimar wins and starts to absorb the other knight, which will end Crow's life in the process. Rean stops this and Ordine becomes a vassal of Valimar, saving Crow, at least until the Rivalries are done. They stay at the lodge in the aftermath and invite Duvalie to join them.

One of four legendary fish is found behind the waterfall.

Unlike regular clergymen and sisters of the Church who run the various Sunday School services, churches, chapels and cathedrals around the continent, the Gralsritter are responsible for the investigation and retrieval of ancient Zemurian artifacts. Generally, they are a more elite and secretive group and its member are proficient in combat, particularly in the use of two traditional weapons: the bowgun, a crossbow type weapon, and a Templar Sword, a segmented blade that can be swung around like a whip.

Their uniforms and appearances vary from Knight to Knight and rank to rank, but commonly male Squires wear a white uniform with a beret, whilst female Squires dress in the same fashion as ordinary sisters. The organization's twelve most elite Knights, the Dominion, vary in appearance but usually feature long flowing coats and drapes with cross like patterning.

Knights of the Gralsritter may be proficient in the use of Thaumaturgy, a mystic art known only to the Church. It is said that the two branches of the church do not get along and Gralsritter may not always be welcome or able to operate to their best capacity-necessitating uncover operations most of the time.

## Tenets

Gralsritter are expected to abide the following six principles:

* Offer your soul to Goddess and your body to Her church.
* Protect the Sacraments.
* Swear loyalty to the Holy Father.
* Carry out your duties with dignity.
* Protect the peace and order of the three worlds.
* Heretics must be eliminated.

## Organisation

The Gralsritter has approximately 1,000 members, acting under the congregation for the scaraments. At the head of the Gralsritter is the commander, Ein Selnate.

* **Dominion**: 12 special knights among the Gralsritter who act as the organization's leaders. The Dominion have been active for approximately a thousand years. A manifestation of a Stigma is both necessary and sufficient in order to be promoted to the rank of Dominion. Other Dominion are capable of sensing whenever there is a Stigma to manifest.
* **Knight**: a promoted class among the Gralsritter of the Septian Church. In addition to retrieving artifacts, they are also tasked with supporting the Dominion they have been assigned to.
* **Squire**: a base class among the Gralsritter of the Septian Church.

## Trivia

* The first two Japanese characters in Gralsritter, 星杯, are a playful homonym on the Holy Grail (聖杯). In the PSP version of *Trails in the Sky SC*, it was translated as "star chalice" instead of the definitive "grail" that appeared in the Steam version.
* Gralsritter means "grail's knights" in German.
Ciel

Ciel is an inhabitant of the town of Ruan.

She's a woman who lives in the northern section of Ruan together with her husband, son and daughter. Reacting to the gradual change from a harbor town to a tourist location and needing to make money in order to afford their son's tuition fees, Ciel and her husband both started working as tour guides, showing visitors the sights of the city.

Though she and her husband both tend to be extremely busy during tourist season, they still managed to take a day off in order to visit their son at the festival. Ciel in particular really liked the school play, though she felt bad that it wasn't her son who got to play the role of the princess.

After Mayor Dalmore is arrested and the thought of elections coming up starts sinking in, Ciel starts hoping that Norman, the owner of Hotel Blanche, will become the new mayor. This is because Norman is heavily invested in the tourism industry himself, which would be to her and her family's benefit.

## Relations

Ciel is the wife of Lytton and the mother of Gerome and Eletta.
Frissa

Frissa is an inhabitant of Estelle's hometown of Rolent.

She lives on the upper floor of a residence in the south-western corner of the city together with her husband and daughter. Since her husband is chief miner in the Malga Mine north of town, he's often away from the home. Frissa isn't extremely happy with this, but nevertheless takes it in stride and supports her husband, telling herself that since he's working hard for their family, she has to as well.

## Relations

Frissa is the wife of  Mister Gaton and the mother of Anya
Demon

**Demons** are malevolent creatures believed to originate in Gehenna. They seem to be lesser in ranks than the Devils that also inhabit this plane.

Demons are encountered in many of the games, but especially noteworthy is *Trails in the Sky the 3rd*, *Trails from/to Zero* and *Azure* in which they play a slightly more important role. Many manifestations of demons created by the Lord of Phantasma are fought in Phantasma.

Demons were regularly summoned by the D∴G Cult. It is also possible for a human being to become "demonized" by consuming Red Gnosis as was the case for Joachim Guenter.

There are some beings and objects referred to as "demon" such as the Vermillion Apocalypse and the Demonic Flute but whether or not they have their origins in Gehenna is debatable.

Graves

Watch Officer Graves is a soldier serving in the Royal Army.

He's stationed at Gurune Gate separating the cities Rolent and Grancel and can be found in the side office of the main hall.

As the Intelligence Division tightens its grip on the rest of the Royal Army, Graves remains skeptical of their claims. He has known some Royal Guardsmen from his combat training and has difficulty wrapping his head around the notion that they'd be terrorists.

Graves enjoys fishing while off-duty and is playing with the thought of joining the Fishing Guild in Grancel.

## Relations

Watch Officer Graves is a superior of  Private Logan,  Private Selbourne,  Private Anden,  Private Stoll,  Private Thomas and  Private Barranco

He's also a subordinate of  Chief Watch Officer Robin

Divine Blade

**Divine Blade** (剣聖) is a title awarded to those who have mastered a form of the Eight Leaves One Blade school.

## Background

Currently, only four known practitioners of the Eight Leaves One Blade school hold the title of Divine Blade, although Master Yun Ka-fai may be one himself.

* **Cassius Bright** is known as the **Divine Blade** (剣聖) and specialized himself in the first form, Helix. He was known as the finest swordsman of the Royal Army of Liberl before retiring from his post as Colonel and with it, his sword. He picked up the bo staff under tutelage of Dan Russell and passed down his former training sword to active practitioner and granddaughter of Master Yun Ka-fai, Anelace Elfead.
* **Arios MacLaine** is known as the **Divine Blade of Wind** (風の剣聖) for mastering the second form of the school, Gale. Arios earned the title in a final trial against his teacher, the aforementioned Yun Ka-fai.
* **Rean Schwarzer** (title unknown), for mastering the seventh form of the school, Void. Rean earned the title in a final trial against Cassius Bright by defeating his cursed self.
* **Shizuna Rem Misurugi** is known as the **Divine Blade of Silver** for mastering a secret ninth form of the school, Zeroth.

## Trivia

* Rean believed that the "Princess" swordswoman in Calvard was on the same level as a Divine Blade, which was later confirmed in the Kuro series.

Sept-Terrion of Space successfully obtained

v **·** e

The **Gospel Plan** (福音計画) is the completed first phase of the Orpheus Final Plan. Its aim was the retrieval of the Sept-Terrion of Space, the Aureole.

## Liberl

It is unclear when the Gospel Plan was commenced exactly. Soon after the Hamel Tragedy and Hundred Days War in S.1192, Campanella invited Leonhardt to join Ouroboros to retrieve the Shining Ring, Aureole. It is unclear whether Georg Weissmann, later the Anguis who leads the plan, was already involved at this point in time.

After obtaining the Aureole, Weissmann let his personal ambition (using the powers of the Aureole to accelerate the evolution of mankind into flawlessly rational and peerless intelligent beings) get the better of him. His greed ultimately becomes his downfall, as Gralsritter Kevin Graham reveals himself as the fifth Dominion that was tasked with Weissmann's assassination.

Campanella picks up Weissmann's staff, in which the Aureole was stored, and reports back to the Grandmaster in the Celestial Globe. Lamenting the loss of both Weissmann and Leonhardt, the Grandmaster declares the Gospel Plan as finished and announces the start of the Phantasmal Blaze Plan.

Ellie

*See also: Elie MacDowell*

**Ellie** is a young woman first met in Estelle's hometown of Rolent.

When the player first runs into her, she's simply hanging out on the street in the city's south-west corner but mentions she has a feeling something special is going to happen today. Later that day, she is seen being confessed to by the young man who was merely staring at her earlier. She admits to him being her type, but is reluctant to accept his advances because, being a romantic at heart, she believes there's a proper time and place for everything and she doesn't like the idea of being confessed to on an ordinary street corner.

Not giving up that easily, Armand takes her to Rolent's clock tower where he repeats his confession as the sun is starting to set. This is the perfect moment for Ellie and she accepts his feelings. Near the end of the prologue, the couple can be heard talking about attending the Queen's birthday celebration in Grancel.

The couple is met again in Chapter 4 where they're taking a break on top of the Ahnenburg Wall at the Sanktheim Gate checkpoint after a stroll across the Erbe Scenic Route.

Later on in the chapter, the couple can be seen touring Grancel. Armand voices his disappointment when he and his girlfriend aren't allowed inside the castle, so they decide to attend the martial arts tournament instead.

Armand and Ellie were hanging out in front of the castle during the Royal Guard's attempt to retake it and were nearly caught in the middle of the attack.
