A Corner of Valivija

O Nabu Malikata,
Eternal beauty who absolves our sins,
Mother of all inspiration and madness.
Hurry now. Make haste with the wine's bright splendor,
And bloom in scarlet upon my golden cup.

O Nabu Malikata,
Eternal beauty who absolves our sins,
Mother of all inspiration and madness.
The king in red offers you a crown of gold.
Your languid, wine-bright eyes
Unmoor the hearts of lovers.
Divine and intoxicating spirit!
Deaf to the prayers of those who drink.
If I dare weigh your face against the flowering fields,
My heart recoils in shame.
For whosoever gazes upon your likeness
Shall fall into a madness such as mine.

O Nabu Malikata,
Eternal beauty who absolves our sins,
Mother of all inspiration and madness.
However steadfast our devotion,
You give nothin back, and your heart remains unmoved.
But how could the joys of heaven ever belong to the earth?
Ecstasy is hidden in the wine of the rose.
It is only because we are steeped
In your boundless, unending grace,
That we think you have no tenderness at all.

O Nabu Malikata,
Eternal beauty who absolves our sins,
Mother of all inspiration and madness.
The princess in azure skirts knows your secrets.
Come, listen now!
To love, and to life
Carried upon the morning wind through the forest,
Echoing in the cup from which you both drink.
The rose always hides behind its veil.
A nightingale slips into my garden
Singing of shame and sorrow,
Then takes wing and leaves once more.

Arcadia, the Entombed Capital

(Strange characters bleed across the surface of the stone tablet. The words make sense to you, though you can't say why.)

— Were the ancient capital of old entombed while it stood,
Death would not have found it on the breeze.

Vanquished exile of a fallen kingdom, Knight of the Golden Bough, wanderer without a hearth;
To cold ash he turned amidst the grief of his beloved,
Never to unseal the ruined city's gates from this side of the world again.

(A message from Istoria emerges under the text...)

"I have no idea who wrote the display boards around here, and I haven't the faintest clue what they're going on about. But anyway, it looks like every door in this exhibition hall only opens from the inside. If Arcadian city-states were all designed like this, then their downfall really isn't that surprising."

Deathly Silence

Available after completing The Starry Night.

Deathly Silence: "Technically speaking, what he painted was not the starry sky."

From Swords to Plowshares

From Swords to Plowshares: "A mechanical device originating from the nation known as 'Khaenri'ah,' here classified as a 'Field Tiller.'"

From Swords to Plowshares: "As it is not equipped with any form of cognitive simulation module and can only operate according to a limited set of preset instructions, it is presumed to possess little combat value. It should, however, remain suitable for basic agricultural use."

Holy Sword

Holy Sword: "I asked around among a few Remurians and Fontainians. Everyone told me the same thing: it's just a normal sword. No one seems to know why it's being exhibited here."

Lord Trubetskoy's Treasure

Lord Trubetskoy's Treasure: "A corner of the treasure vault of the governor of Nod-Krai. Somehow, quite a few weasels seem to have found their way into it."

Musica Instrumentalis

Musica Instrumentalis: "Calcerius said that if Dominus Boethius saw what Dominus Cassiodor's successors had done to musical instruments, he'd probably so incensed to tear down his palace."

Musica Instrumentalis: "Vindia replied that Boethius wouldn't even have to — when she was still above ground, Cassiodor's palace in Petrocorii had already been razed by the King of Aremorica."

Musica Instrumentalis: "So I said that in that case, Boethius and the King of Aremorica must have been good friends, but my words were met only with silence."

The First Scroll

The First Scroll: "According to a priest of the Masters of the Night-Wind who once held the office, those who wove the woven scrolls were required to keep their eyes covered, at least until the time of the fourth high priest, Hanga."

The First Scroll: "It is said that the rule was first laid down by the tribe's founder, the priest-king Maghan, who is purported to have spent his entire life blindfolded. No one seems to know why he insisted on it."

The First Scroll: "Why the rule was eventually abandoned, however, is much easier to understand: most people's woven scrolls looked like a total mess when they tried to weave them blind."

Three Strategies Scroll

Three Strategies Scroll: "Supposedly this is a sword-training formation used by the tengu of Inazuma to teach their students. I can't really make sense of it myself. It looks more like some kind of strange trick meant to fool the eyes."

Three Strategies Scroll: "There's also a name carved into it: 'Teruyo.' Okikuni says he's never heard of a tengu by that name, so it's probably just someone's random carving."

The Very First Print of The Steambird

The Very First Print of The Steambird: "The printing press forever changed the form in which ideas are spread — perhaps even the very form of those ideas themselves."
