Canarre in Crisis

Reincarnation and Appraisal

Three-year-old Ars Louvent has the power to visualize the innate talents of others. One day he meets Rietz, a man of an undesirable social class but with incredible talents, only Ars can see. Can he overcome prejudice to take him into his retinue?

Above and Below

To prepare for the political turmoil ahead, Ars is now determined to recruit the most talented people he can find with the help of his Appraisal skill, and he's off to a larger town to see if he can scout someone with an aptitude for magic.

Answer

Ars has discovered someone with an extraordinary talent for magic, just as he'd hoped. The hitch is that she has no interest whatsoever in serving him. Can Ars win her over, much less help her out of the terrible predicament she's in?

Where Talent Dwells

Ars's quest to recruit more talent continues into the future, especially as his family grows and tensions begin mounting. Little does he know he may find it in the most unexpected places, or rather, the most unexpected people.

The Storm Arrives!

Things are looking grim around the Louvent estate as the political situation continues to deteriorate, but nothing could prepare Ars for the storm that's about to blow in—the fiancée he didn't know he had!

The Face of a Warrior

Raven's condition takes a turn for the worse as the worst comes to pass politically. The governor has been assassinated, meaning the local lords must now brace for war. Can Ars lead House Louvent in his ailing father's stead?

Succession

Raven returns from the most recent campaign in dire shape. At the doctor's behest, House Louvent braces itself for a great loss. Thankfully, with Ars to succeed his father, not all hope is lost.

A New Generation

Ars has big shoes to fill as he takes over for his father as the new lord of House Louvent. With the trusty band of retainers he's built up over the years, is he up to the task?

Sounding Out

Now that the governor is dead, his sons are in a deadlock over who will succeed him. Lord Lumeire's league has chosen their side, but one local district remains a political holdout—and Ars is determined to figure out why.

Couran Salamakhia

Ars receives a personal invitation to a party hosted by Couran Salamakhia, the elder of the late governor's two sons. Ars hardly knows what to make of the situation, much less the big ideas Couran is about to share with him.

Mireille Grangeon

Mireille is making a real impression at House Louvent... and it's not a good one. Ars believes in her potential, however, leaving him at a crossroads when the complaints start coming in about her. Thankfully, Mireille has an unconventional solution!

Oath

The mock battle to decide Mierille's fate and the future of House Louvent is on!

Promise

With war now upon the province, Ars and his retinue return to trade city of Semplar for Couran's next military conference. Their faction is strapped for ideas, leading them to look to unexpected places for unexpected aid...

Negotiation

Ars sets off with Licia to negotiate with the Emperor of Summerforth, but their best laid plans are threatened by a last-minute tagalong from Lord Couran`s retinue.

The Image of a Lord

Ars and his retinue wrap up negotiations with the neighboring provinces, and upon their return home, Lord Couran gives Ars his most important and most dangerous mission to date... Does he have what it takes to face it?

Vakumakuro Fortress

Under the leadership of Ars and Lumeire, Canarre's army attacks the Vakmakro fortress. Only by capturing it can they seize Castle Samkh and thereby conquer the entire district. However, the defenders of Vakmakro have come up with a surprising strategy...

Taking Castle Samkh

The forces of Samkh remain defiant even after Fort Vakmakro falls. Ars and his people come up with a strategy to minimize bloodshed, but Rosell harbors doubts.

Evolution

Couran's forces prepare for their next campaign, and Ars is sent to negotiate with one of the defiant enemy leaders. But there seems to be more going on than meets the eye...

The Threat of Castle Rolto

Ars tries to put their plan into action, to take save the hostages from Castle Rolto and defeat the enemy force. But the plan will put Ars's own life on the line...

Family

Ars's side has taken heavy losses, but the battle of Castle Rolto is still undecided. Can Couran's forces take the victory, and will Lupa and his wife be reunited?

A New Threat

Ars sends Pham to report to Couran about their victory at Castle Rolto, but the battle at Castle Staatz is just heating up as Thomas hatches a plan to take Couran out directly.

Snowball Fight

The armies charge on Castle Staatz, where the formidable Braham Joe awaits to challenge Rietz to a duel.

Allegiance

Thomas reflects on his long rivalry with Mireille as the battle for the stronghold of Verzud nears.

Entrusted Feelings

The last battle over Verzud reaches its climax, with the aftermath changing the course of Ars's life and reign.

Headman

Ars settles in as Canarre's headman and reflects on the status quo.

Zaht and Braham

A new push by the Seitz forces puts the skills of Canarre's elite unit to the test.

End of Hostilities
