Black Records

The **Black Records** (黒の史書) is an artifact that was inherited by the Arnor Family. It appears as a book series that can be collected during New Game+ in *Trails of Cold Steel II* and throughout *Trails of Cold Steel III*.

*Trails of Cold Steel IV* contains one final volume, authored by AZOTH.

They can also be found in *Trails into Reverie*, with them being found in a chest in the True Reverie Corridor. Chest contents are random, so there is no guarantee as to when, or if, they will be found. Upon finding the correct chest, all volumes are given to the player at once.

## Background

The Black Records describe majors events throughout the history of Erebonia all the way up to S.1206. They are considered 'black history books' since they contain information not accessible to the public.

They contain stories regarding the foundations (The Gods of Creation and Foundation of the Imperial Capital), reports of more recent events (The Salt Pale and The Orbal Shutdown Phenomenon) and even prophecies (Beginning of the Twilight).

Seeing events unfold exactly as written in the books, Emperor Eugent Reise Arnor III tasked Chancellor Giliath Osborne to 'break' with the prophecy. It is unclear whether Chancellor Osborne has read the original Black Records or copies of them, but he is aware of the prophetic nature of the seventh volume.

The books are actually artifacts, in the possession of the Imperial Family of Erebonia and only members of the imperial family can read them. Rean Schwarzer obtains copies of them, translated from ancient script by Thomas Lysander.

### Final volume

Thomas learnt about the existence of a last volume of the Black Records from the hospitalised Emperor Eugent III. The emperor informed him that even he has no idea about the last volume's content, suggesting it was written after the start of the Great Twilight. Thomas's search for the last volume that led him to freelance journalist Marcel Nielsen, who obtained the volume during his one month trek through Erebonia. Nielsen stated that he somehow "can read" the contents and confirmed that it belongs to the last record. Nielsen offered the volume in exchange for an interview with Rean Schwarzer.

**Basel Institute of Science** (バーゼル理科大学) is a technical institute in Basel, Calvard.

## Background

The Basel Institute of Science is a higher learning facility located in Basel, focused upon the sciences and engineering.It is the greatest technical institute in the republic. Middle-Eastern scholars have had a huge amount of influence over the Institute, with Latoya Hamilton counted amongst this number, one of the three great disciples of C. Epstein. They receive a great deal of investors from other countries. The institute and Craftsmen's Guild collaborated to create the Verne Company.

The institute itself is located on the highest tier of Basel, requiring a certain level of security clearance to access. It is one of the three major powers governing Basel, alongside the Verne Company and the Craftsmens' Guild. It is a popular tourist attraction, but a clearance card is needed to access the building. The round annex of the building is its astronomical observatory. There is also a conference room and a terminal room where the supercomputer Aurora is kept. They have a working relationship with the Motor Pavilion and are well acquainted.

The institute has an ethics board which ruled reactor weapons as taboo since the discovery of stable orbal technology. Other countries' institutes have done the same.

The Institute and Verne are working on two major projects, one including the Xipha and another involved with national defence.

## Background

The Student Council of the Thors Military Academy often helps out Brandon. This is how he met Towa Herschel, whom he considers a role model for both other students and his own daughter, Tyzel. He becomes acquainted with Rean Schwarzer once he drops by regularly for tasks on behalf of the Student Council.

Although Brandon advises the Thors students to diligently study for their midterms, he hardly ever studied himself as a student. He regrets his decisions as a teenager and wants to make sure students coming into his shop will not face the same regrets.

He and other shop keepers in Trista often come together for a drink. They use the Summer Festival in Heimdallr as an excuse to get really drunk every year.

**Baron Wodan** (ヴォーダン男爵(だんしゃく)) is a friend of Baron Caroline.

He is always seen in Sorciere Restaurant, listening to his friends' problems with his daughter. He concludes that he is over-protective for her but realises that Baron Caroline is more fond of his daughter than he initially thought.
Alund

Alund is a visitor to the town of Ruan.

## *Trails in the Sky SC*

Having saved up some money, Alund spends pretty much all his time at the Lavantar Casino & Bar where he engages in the various games of chance there. Unlike his fellow casino-goer Phelio, Alund has no luck with the games whatsoever, going from denial and blaming the construction of the slot machines to disbelief that he's losing to an amateur like Phelio to horror when he realizes he's gambled away so much of his money that he doesn't even have enough to afford a flight back home.

In order to be able to afford a return ticket, Alund decides to accept a part-time job as dish-washer offered by Primo, who's tending the bar on the Lavantar's first floor and who could use an extra hand to help out with the restaurant. While working to get some of his funds back, he finds a sense of fulfillment from putting in work to earn a paycheck.

By the time the floating city of Liber Ark appears and shuts down orbal technology all across the country, Alund has received his first paycheck. Deciding to complement his salary with some additional mira, he starts gambling in the casino again, hoping to get the money for a return ticket home sooner. However, his awful luck with gambling hasn't changed since the last time he went broke and he once again loses all his funds to the slot machines. By the time Estelle and her friends restore communication between the Bracer Guild branches, Alund has once again retreated to the Lavantar's balcony and is laughing like a madman at his situation.

# Relations

Alund is a temporary subordinate of Primo and temporary employee of Spiridon

He's also a temporary colleague of Gunter, Fuego and Lottelio
Bian

Private Bian is a soldier serving in the Royal Army.

He's part of 7th regiment of the Royal Army's Border Patrol Garrison and he's participating in the Martial Arts Competition in Grancel together with his commanding officer and two fellow soldiers from the same division. (the competition used to be restricted to members of the army and more an evaluation of soldiers' skills than a public event)

He and his team make it through the preliminaries and are introduced in the waiting room where the participants of the blue side wait for their turn to do battle. While acknowledging that the competing teams are fierce, he nevertheless still maintains a positive attitude about his team's participation, but unfortunately he and his fellow squad members are pitted against the much stronger Intelligence Division's special ops team led by 2nd Lieutenant Lorence.

Bian and his fellow soldiers don't get a lot of opportunity to show their skills during the match as the special ops take the initiative and leave them reeling from their opening attacks. He manages to get one fairly ineffective shot in at his attacker, but before he has a chance to strike again, Lorence rushes in and fells him and two of his teammates with a single slash from his sword, leaving Bian's initial attacker and the other special ops to beat his commanding officer into submission.

## Relations

Private Bian is the subordinate of  Specialist Gorg and  1st Lieutenant Bern and a fellow squadmate of  Private Micria

## Altair

### Road(s)

Transcontinental Railroad

v **·** e

**Altair** (アルタイル市) is a city in Calvard. It lies east of the Cyre River, which is also the Crossbellan-Calvardian border.

## Background

Altair is a port city that historically flourished through trade and commerce because of its favourable position near the Cyre River. With the introduction of the Transcontinental Railroad, Altair was connected to a vast train network that allowed merchants to reach the highly commercialised Crossbell City within just an hour.

### Lodge

On the outskirts of Altair, a cave known as the Altair Lodge of the D∴G Cult can be found. Since the D∴G Cult Extermination in S.1198, led by an international cooperation spearheaded by the Bracer Guild, no cult members can be found within the cave any more.

#### *Trails to Azure*

In S.1204, political refugees Hartmann and Ernest Reis found shelter there, but were ultimately found and arrested by Lloyd Bannings, Noel Seeker, Alex Dudley and Arios MacLaine.
Barlowe

Barlowe is an inhabitant of the city of Bose.

A rather traditional man, he's the manager of the local hotel, the Frieden Hotel, and has a great deal of attachment to it. In fact, the hotel is his life and one of his worries is that he might not be able to find a capable successor who can maintain the hotel's popularity after he retires. This is for good reason as the hotel's been in business for 120 years and has an excellent reputation.

His live-to-work outlook on life puts him at odds with Dina, his cleaning lady, who doesn't share his passion for the hotel and looks upon her job as merely a means to make a living, something that Barlowe simply cannot wrap his head around.
Amelia (NPC Haken Gate)

Amelia is a woman met at the Haken Gate.

She's a waitress employed at the pub/rest stop where people leaving or entering the country wait for their clearance. When the airspace above Bose is closed, the garrison at the gate is placed on high alert and Eisen Road is blocked off, things suddenly get a lot busier at the rest stop, since travellers wanting to travel to Bose on foot get stranded at the gate. The sudden increased activity at the gate going on day and night has resulted in her having trouble sleeping.

One of the people who ends up stuck at the pub is Olivier Lenheim, who is having some food while waiting for Eisen Road to reopen. Her attention was drawn by Olivier's good looks and sharp dressing sense, but after talking to him she was turned off a bit by his eccentric behavior. She also seems to have a thing for Colonel Richard, who she considers handsome and doesn't share Olivier's eccentricies.
An Invitation to the Port City Engulfed in Darkness

Spells

--See also Spell Negative Effects

Note: This page is a compilation of data with specific information on spells and general spell behavior. The spell data can also be found on the individual warband pages.

Spellcasters have a total of 5 spell spell slots and start with one spell, bringing the total of trainable spells to 4. Training a new spell cost 2 spell points and training the mastery version (including the starting spell) costs 4 spell points.

Note that Basic and Mastery versions of Spell Buffs and Debuffs stack, even in case of non-stackable Spell effects. So, for example, Call of Vanhel Basic (+2 Movement, +15% Armour Absorption) can be stacked with its Mastery version (+4 Movement, +30% Armour Absorption) by another Caster on the same Zombie for the total of +6 Movement and +45% Armour Absorption. This gives a reason to have multiple Buff/Debuff Casters and to have a large spread of Mastered and Basic Spells between them. Exception: Idol of Change.

## Spellcasting

Spells in Mordheim: City of the Damned are unique for each warband and Hired Sword. There are 2 different types of magic: Arcane and Divine.

The Divine spellcasters hail from the Sisters of Sigmar warband, Witch Hunter warband and the Wolf Priest of Ulric Hired Sword. Arcane spellcasters are included in all other warbands and the Doomweaver.

Spellcasting can be dangerous. Not only is there a chance that the spell fails with no effect but there is a chance that a negative effect (Divine Wrath for the Divine spellcasters and Tzeentch's Curse for the Arcane spellcasters) happens as well. As more spell attempts are made by the same spellcaster in the same turn, the chance of negative effects increases with each individual attempt. These chances are independent from each other so there are several outcomes that can happen from casting a spell.

1. The spell fails and there is no negative effect
2. The spell fails plus there is a negative effect
3. The spell succeeds and there is no negative effect
4. The spell succeeds plus there is a negative effect

## Arcane Spells

* Human Mercenaries
* Cult of the Possessed
* Skaven
* Undead
* Doomweaver Spells

 Effect: Reduces melee Hit chance by 5% for 1 turn. Not Stackable.

 Effect: Grants Bless with filth for 1 turn. Not stackable.

 Effect: A dense warp mist rises in the selected area. Reduces Poison Resistance by 20% for everyone as long as they stay in the area. Entering or starting a turn inside the area deals 4-8 initial damage.

## Divine Spells

* Sisters of Sigmar
* Witch Hunter
* Wolf-Priest of Ulric Spells

Belden

Belden is an inhabitant of the town of Ruan.

He's a member of the Raven Gang who hangs out in the warehouse district near the city docks and occasionally causes trouble there. He's found hanging out inside the warehouse together with the rest of the gang.

When Clem comes storming into the gang's warehouse and gets threatened by the gang's leaders, Belden doesn't participate in the fight against Estelle, Joshua and Kloe, though he's presumably present when Agate shows up and intimidates the gang into submission.

After or during the school festival, the mayor's steward Gilbert apparently visits their hideout, but Belden can't remember what happened next. He and the other Ravens are controlled and made to guard the stairways leading up to the top floor of the lighthouse where they're defeated once more by Estelle, Joshua, Kloe and Agate, although they put up a much tougher fight than before. After being beaten yet again, they're locked in Manoria Village's windmill shed until the army arrives. Since it's decided that they were being controlled, they aren't taken to Leiston Fortress and return to Ruan instead.

After Estelle and Joshua travel to Zeiss, Belden and the rest of the Ravens engage in some training and eventually enroll in the martial arts competition taking place in Grancel with Belden being appointed captain of one of the teams. Unfortunately for him, he and his team suffer a humiliating defeat when they're pitted against Zin who defeats all four of them on his own. After the defeat of the other team at the hands of Estelle, Joshua, Zin and Olivier the Ravens presumably return to Ruan without sticking around until the end of the competition.

Belden hasn't been part of the Ravens for that long. By the time he joined, Agate had already left. Belden's actually the son of Norman, one of Ruan's most influental businessmen who's one of the potential candidates to be the town's next mayor. Belden left his home after continued fights between him and his parents and is convinced his family already gave up on him, so there's no point in going back.

## Relations

Belden is the son of Norman and Bridget and the older brother of Louis.

Being a Raven, he's a subordinate of Deen, Rais and Rocco.

He's also a fellow gang member of Picaro, Bargo, Burt, Jabu and Terence.
Blaue

Blaue is a man met in the Capua Hideout.

He's one of the passengers on the airship Linde who gets taken hostage when the airliner is boarded and hijacked by the Capua Sky Bandits. He and the other passengers are then blindfolded and taken to the Capuas' hideout in Nebel Valley on board the Capua Sky Bandits' ship where they're imprisoned in one of the rooms on the lower level of the hideout.

Their ordeal comes to an end when Estelle, Joshua, Scherazard and Olivier stow away on the sky bandits' ship, infiltrate the hideout and subdue the group of bandits guarding their cell. When the army arrives, Blaue and the other passengers are transported back to town.

Blaue is long-time friends with someone in Rolent and was on his way to visit there when the Linde was attacked.

v **·** e

**Albert Reise Arnor** (アルベルト皇子), son of Emperor Valius Reise Arnor V, was the second prince of Erebonia during the 10th Century of the Septian Calendar.

## Profile

*Main article: War of the Lions*
In S.947, Albert was plunged into a war with the other sons of Valius Reise Arnor V over his succession.

Although considered a brilliant strategist, Albert Reise Arnor's army was no match for the Palatinate Knight his half-brother Prince Lucius had just acquired. With the remnants of his private army, Albert decided to join forces with the remains of his half brother Prince Gunnar's army to oppose the other princes. Their force was so large it should compensate for their lack of a Divine Knight.

Over time, he and Gunnar gained control over Magic Knights. With their power, Albert managed to hold off his half-brothers for a number of years. When the Vermillion Apocalypse, however, emerged in Heimdallr alongside the Infernal Castle in S.952, the armies of both Albert and Gunnar were completely annihilated.

Alchemy

**Alchemy** (錬金術) was a tradition practiced primarily within Crossbell.

## Background

### Formation

After losing the Sept-Terrion of Mirage, the faction that once gathered around Demiourgos were afraid, sad and bewildered. Without looking back at what caused the demise of Demiourgos, they were set on re-creating an equivalent of the treasure they had lost.

With their knowledge of technology gone, the initial attempts during the Dark Ages were futile. Following the Great Collapse, they gathered knowledge for several decades until they ultimately decided on alchemy, the art to create something out of nothing. Alchemy was considered a heretic art.

### Five-century plan

*Main article: Azure-Zero Project*
To achieve their goal, the alchemists created a 500-years plan to create the Sept-Terrion of Zero. They created a homunculus, which would serve as the "core" of their man-made Sept-Terrion, which would have to be nurtured over the next five centuries. In order to do so, they entrusted their core to the then-newly established D∴G Cult.

While the Cult dedicated its existence to nurturing the core with the knowledge required for its awakening, the leading alchemist family themselves, the Crois Family, resorted to banking to amass funds required to bring their plan to fruition in circa S.900.

v **·** e

**Basel** (バーゼル), also known as **Basel, the Engineering City** (工学都市バーゼル), is a city in southwestern Calvard, located in the Auge Canyon.

## Background

Basel is known for its traditional focus on natural sciences and the Basel College of Science, the local university and observatory. The city is jointly run by three parties, the Verne Company under CEO Bill Tausend, the Craftsmen's Guild, and the Basel Institute of Science. It is the greatest industrial city in the Republic.

In the Middle Ages, a guild of artisans helped with the development of equipment for architecture, irrigation, industry and sciences. Following the Orbal Revolution, the guild and university established Verne. The older parts of Basel are based around Craftsmen's Street where 'New Town' sprung up around Verne. Basel has lots of manufacturing plants and special facilities

Basel is currently working on an urban planning project to transform Basel into a high-tech city, dedicated to industrial sciences, by connecting its districts on different height levels with ropeways. An Aerotram runs from the Institute of Science to the lower levels. Due to the number of confidential research projects for the government and military, security around Basel is heightened, with any of the three three major stakeholders able to grant levels of access using card keys issued to citizens, ranging from clearance levels D to A.

Motor companies Leno and Ingert operate from Basel. Giscard is also working on a new factory for Red Star. Basel is the birthplace of orbal film. The pride of all Basel is the central terminal 'Aurora' located in the institute.

Bruno

Bruno is an inhabitant of the town of Zeiss.

He's a transport vehicle driver who makes a living driving goods from Zeiss to the Calvard Republic. Around the time Estelle and Joshua arrive in Zeiss, Bruno is getting ready for another trip across the border. Being a bit paranoid about the reliability of his vehicle and not wanting to take any chances, Bruno checks and double-checks the vehicle and also hires Wong, a bracer from the Zeiss branch, to escort him as far as Wolf Fort.

The day after the blackout in Zeiss, Bruno leaves for Calvard together with Wong. His worries, both about the reliability of his vehicle and the dangers of getting stranded in the middle of nowhere, prove justified as the engine of his ride breaks down in the middle of the Tratt Plains between Zeiss and Wolf Fort where they're found by Estelle, Joshua and Tita who responded to a request by the Guild to track down the missing vehicle. Just as the conclusion is reached that the engine will most likely have to be replaced, the vehicle comes under attack from a large group of Armored Rabbits. Bruno already sees his life flashing before his eyes, but Estelle, Joshua, Tita and Wong manage to defeat the group of monsters without problems. Not wanting to return to Zeiss already and leave his vehicle stranded in the middle of nowhere, Bruno asks Estelle and Joshua to contact Prometheus at the factory and arrange a replacement engine the next time they're in Zeiss while he resumes his attempts to get his vehicle started.

Estelle, Joshua and Tita do so and although it turns out that Bruno missed the memo about Prometheus moving departments years ago, the bracers manage to locate another engine through use of the Capel unit. They manage to reach Wong and Bruno just in time as the latter was already considering returning to Zeiss on foot. With Tita's help, the engine is quickly swapped and Bruno is able to continue his trip to the border.

The rest of Bruno's trip isn't smooth sailing either as border security has been tightened after the attack on the Central Factory, resulting in Bruno having to wait a lot longer than usual before his clearance gets through. He kills time by reading a book, even giving one of his books, a chapter of Carnelia, to Estelle and Joshua if they talk to him while he's waiting outside Wolf Fort.

A day later, Bruno is back in Zeiss and quickly gets commissioned with another transport job. Pleased with Wong's performance on the former trip, Bruno visits the guild to hire him again, only to realize he completely forgot the name of his former bodyguard.
Becker

Becker is an inhabitant of the town of Grancel.

He's a mail and package delivery boy usually found running around the streets of the northern section of the royal city. He usually starts the day at the airport where he picks up mail from other regions, which he then delivers afterwards.

Becker is rather prone to complain about stuff in his life. His biggest pet peeve is people writing the address on a package in hard-to-read handwriting, though he's also a big sour about the fact he has to work while the martial arts competition is in progress, though he IS looking forward to reading the Liberl News' tournament issue. He's also annoyed when security is raised around the city because he keeps getting stopped by soldiers for questions, making his job take a lot longer than usual. Finally, he's one of the people who's at work during the birthday celebration, mentioning his boss doesn't give him the day off for events such as this and not being happy at all with this.

Arc Royale

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!

### Crew

* Thors Military Academy
* Railway Military Police

### Introduction

S.1206

v **·** e

**Arc Royale** (アークロイアル号) is an armoured train loaned by the Railway Military Police to the Thors Military Academy for their personal use.

## Background

The Arc Royale is an armoured train identical to its counterpart, the Derfflinger in all but color and decoration.

The train consists of six cars:

1. Engine room
2. Briefing room and staff office
3. Dining hall and lounge
4. Student cabins
5. Freight area for Panzer Soldats
6. Freight area for Panzer Soldats

### *Trails of Cold Steel III*

The Arc Royale is first seen by the new Class VII when it pulls into Heimdallr Central Station alongside the Branch Campus' own Derfflinger. Students from Thors Main campus, including Cedric Reise Arnor, Ada Grant, Fritz Geithner and Class I disembark and meet Class VII. Major Michael Irving introduces the train, stating it is identical save for the colour and extra decorations.

The Arc Royale is used by the Main Campus to help them get to the Gral of Erebos and defend it on behalf of Cedric.

### *Trails of Cold Steel IV*

The Arc Royale initially takes part in the operation to try and apprehend Musse Egret, Aurelia Le Guin and Class VI in the Osgiliath Basin, acting as part of the surrounding perimeter. It is later mentioned as having gone missing from the Main Campus, classified as a leave of absence officially but having government officials on edge.

The Arc Royale in truth had been used by Main Campus students dissatisfied with the direction Erebonia was taking towards war and their conviction to try and oppose it. After Class VII defeats them, they fully resolve to back them and deploy the Arc Royale across the Empire.

During operation Shining Steel, alumni of Thors, alongside Instructor Beatrix deploy the train to support the operation. Their plan is to 'destabilise the defences' in the eastern half of the Empire. Rean Schwarzer is able to communicate with former acquaintances from the Courageous II.

### *Trails into Reverie*

The Arc Royale transports the Main Campus students and their soldats to Retributive Tower in Crossbell. The soldats deploy while the train is moving to join the battle.

> **The Founding of Heimdallr - Year 081**

>
> In the years following the Great Collapse, Adjudicator Arnor chose Heimdallr as his base of operations from which he planned to rebuild the land of Erebos. Before long, the city became a pillar of the region, and following that, its capital.
>
> The citizens however, continued to suffer in the harsh post-Collapse world. They wished for a strong, caring leader to see them through these harsh times.
>
> It was in Arnor their wish was granted. After being recognized as an adjudicator by both Holy Beasts, he was the clear choice. He was crowned as emperor and became the first of many rulers in the Arnor bloodline.
>
> Upon his coronation, members of the Septian Church were dispatched from Arteria to endorse the new ruler.
>
> The people of Zemuria had lost the objects of their worship in the Great Collapse. However, the Church provided them a new way of connecting with Aidios--faith. In addition, by recognizing the legitimacy of rulers across the continent, they strengthened the foundations of its recovering civilizations.
>
> In the year 81 of the Septian Calendar, the third Emperor, Sion Arnor had a great cathedral built in Heimdallr.
>
> The cathedral was to be a bastion of faith and would serve as a site to crown future emperors, but it also held a far more significant role. Unbeknownst to the public, an artificial Primal Ground was created below the cathedral--a replica of the one that existed below Arteria.
>
> With the Church's increased presence, the desperate times following the Great Collapse came to an end. The people had lost their civilization, but now had faith to sustain them in their search for light in the Dark Ages.
>
>  However, 200 years later, the darkness that gripped Erebonia would pull them down to the depths of ruin. One of the Holy Beasts suddenly disappeared along with the Primal Grounds below the cathedral. It was that same day that the Dark Dragon's miasma laid waste to Heimdallr.
