That won't do. Linhardt can't decide what's important: He doesn't know Felix well enough to know what the other man would find important. Everything it is then. He stands silently under the umbrella for a few moments, gathering his thoughts and sifting through them to decide how to proceed.
"First, I should share my information sources with you. Then you can judge what I tell you. My sources are a combination of Adrestian historical record, professional knowledge, and talks with Seteth. To begin with, Rhea is Saint Seiros and Seteth is Saint Cichol. Flayn is Saint Cethleann. So I trust his recollection of history since it's a first-hand account. As for my contribution, my family maintains the Adrestian archives which contain information on the Empire's internal affairs as well as the oldest and most complete information that was never subject to Church oversight as all the documents have been in our possession since Adrestia's founding."
There. That is a satisfactory preamble.
"I suppose we should begin with the fact that the War of Heroes is a lie, as is the origin of Crests. Well, yours anyway."
Linhardt sounds slightly apologetic. He's seen how Lorenz has reacted to what he's about to tell Felix, and he can't pretend to understand. His Crest is a sign of an affection between the Saints and his ancestor.
"The 10 Heroes fought against Seiros, with Nemesis. The Sword of the Creator is made from Sothis's remains, and the other Relics are the remains of her children. That's also where your Crest comes from."
