In-Game Story

Alanjeh Castle

During the events of the second game, Tara will encounter Rashiannu at Alanjeh Castle for the first time since their separation in youth. At the castle, Tara will be disregarded and treated poorly by Rashiannu. She will be quickly dismissed by the Queen as her only priority is getting ahold of the true Runestone Tara carries. After their brief conversation, Rashiannu will take the Runestone from Tara and imprison her along with her companion Sol.

Hand over the Runestone, if you please." "Without that Runestone, I can't use our most powerful cards. Not with these cheap Kendarie replicas. I am the Queen! I need that Runestone to protect my people. I'm sure you understand, my dearest sister. It is I who will defeat the Kendarie rebels. I hope you won't mind being our guest for a while. Welcome back to Alanjeh."

Tara, along with Sol, will escape the castle during this—easily allowing Tara to pick up the Runestone Rashiannu dropped during her battle.

Grenfoel Cathedral

Later in the game, Tara will enter the Grenfoel Cathedral. Tara will find Rashiannu in the library area looking through a bookshelf. When speaking to Rashiannu here, it is noticeably clear that she her attitude has changed. Rashiannu will seem much more remorseful and warm towards Tara, which is completely different compared to her attitude in Alanjeh Castle.

Later in the library, Rashiannu will apologize to Tara and confess that she was upset at Tara for being the one their mother chose to give the Runestone to during their separation long ago. Rashiannu will also share that she became Queen at a very young age.
