“At the request of King Mordred, Roy headed for the Tower of the Saint on the outskirts of Aquleia. 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 Windam, who had rebelled against the Elimine Church by Roartz's orders.”
