Excerpt from Memoirs of Mqs. Halim Ondore IV, Chapter 16: Biding Time

The Dreadnought Leviathan is sunk. The 8th Fleet of the Archadian Imperial Army, lost.
As Word of the Events in the Jagd sounded throughout the Empire, quit I Bhujerba, citing sudden Malady.
My true Motive: to bring the various counter-Imperial Forces scattered throughout Ivalice together in unified Resistance.
By this Time, Lady Ashe had made her Return to Rabanastre. She had not, however, made known her Presence. Rather, she was content with keeping both her Whereabouts, and those of the Dawn Shard, concealed.
Had she chosen to go before her People, my Error in announcing her Suicide would be known, to the great Detriment of my Efforts to assemble a Resistance.
In such Circumstance as the Lady Ashe then found herself, even were she to proclaim Dalmasca restored, it would serve only to invite the Empire’s Wrath.
Though Archadia had lost her 8th Fleet, she remained, as ever, a Military Power with which to be reckoned.
