Illustrated Works)
The Battle of Barhara is the last event of Chapter 5 in Genealogy of
the Holy War and the ending of Sigurd’s tale. Alvis plans the
battle as
one of the last steps towards uniting the continent with him as
emperor. It is one of only two events in the series that show the death
of a lord.
Details
When Sigurd confronts General Aida in Velthomer after his army defeats
Leptor, Aida greets Sigurd as though he were an innocent man. Aida
tells him that his army is expected by the king, Alvis, and the Royal
Guard for a ceremony near Barhara. When Sigurd approaches Barhara with
his troops and meets the Royal Guard, he has a chat with Alvis. After a
short conversation about the king, Alvis reveals that Sigurd is in fact
still considered a traitor and sentenced to death. Alvis flaunts
Diadora for a moment and then kills Sigurd. Sigurd’s troops find
themselves trapped by the surrounding soldiers and are bombarded by the
meteor spell.
It is unknown whether most of the playable
characters from the first generation were killed or not, but some
characters who definitely survived the battle are Fury, Tiltyu,
Lachesis, Adean, Sylvia, Levin and Briggid. The people who managed to
escape the battle, as well as those who died, were branded as traitors
to the kingdom. The only living character at that point in time who had
been playable yet who wasn't present was Fin.
