Empress of Certain Death
Another episode of “Guess the Enforcer”, this time with information gained from Sen no Kiseki III, focusing on the mysterious number III.
Engraving of War
My attempt at rationalizing the bonkers game that is Sen III, featuring the favorite word of the first two games: “Power”, and the favorite of the third game: “Curse”.
Erebonia’s Black History, Volume 2
In Erebonia, the present continues to be haunted by the past. Shocking events repeat themselves beyond memories of citizens. The Black Records records these forgotten moments of history. In addition to the previously published five volumes in Trails of Cold Steel II, Sen no Kiseki III introduces seven more, each intriguing in its own way.

[Submitted Theory] Rean and his Students
So, there is less than half a month remaining until Sen III’s release, and at this point we’re not likely to get much more info. Still, with what we already have I think there is enough to talk about a lot of things. Instead of lore or politics however, I want to write about our main character, the Ashen Chevalier, as a human: what we know, his change and his further development. In particular, in this piece I posit that Rean’s development in Sen III will be heavily related with that of his students, and that by helping them overcome his issues he will slowly grow and overcome his own.
