Story
Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen
Destined
Destin was brought before the seer Warren Omon to determine if he was the prophesied one foretold to lead the rebellion to victory. Warren used the power of the Tarot to ascertain the truth. Finding Destin to be the chosen one, Warren proclaimed him the leader of the rebels and granted him troops to begin liberating Xenobia.
The Liberation of Xenobia
Liberating Zeltenia, Destin found within the walls a group of Xenobian knights that were still loyal to the Xenobian Royal Family. Lanselot Hamilton, the leader of the knights, pledged his allegiance to Destin in hopes of seeing King Gran's death avenged. At Volzak, Warren challenged Destin to a battle to prove the new leader's martial ability in which Destin was the victor.
In a hidden Roshfel Temple within the Charlom Border, Destin received the Star of Heroes from one of the monks, a symbol of true heroism.
Destin found Banya, the nanny of Tristan Xenobia, the heir apparent to the throne of Xenobia in the city of Kal Robs. There, Destin revealed to Banya that he did not seek the throne but merely wished to remove the Empire from power. Banya handed over the Key of Destiny, a heirloom that was needed to prove that Tristan is the heir to the Xenobian Royal Family and tells him to find Tristan on the Island Avalon. Destin reached the city of Amad looking for Tristan but learned he had run off to fight the Empire with only a small unit.
In the city of Diaspola, the shaman Norn sought to kill Destin for murdering the Deva Debonair but when Destin explained that Debonair still lives and went to the Empress to implore her to stop the war, Norn joins the rebellion.
The Sky Islands
Destin found the holy sword Brunhild in a city on the Kastolatian Sea and used it to find the Chaos Gates that would take him to the legendary sky islands. He traveled to the sky islands, floating pieces of land high above Xytegenia, and home of the three knights Slust, Fenril and Fogel. He broke the spells Rashidi had place on them and accepted their help in defeating the Empire.
Heir to the Throne
In the city of Malano Destin found the prince Tristan, handed him the Key of Destiny and bowed his head in allegiance to the future king. Together, using the wedding crowds as a distraction they killed the governor of Malano, the groom in waiting, Duke Apros.
Empire's Fall
Blazing a path of victory through the continent lead him into the highlands where they defeated General Hikash and killed the Empress Endora in the city of Xytegenia. Learning that Rashidi and Gares had escaped they chased them to Temple Shalina, the place of worship for the dark god Diablo. On the steps of the temple Destin defeated Gares, Rashidi and the physical form of the dark god.
Quiet Farewell
Giving his apologies to Tristan for not being able to attend his royal wedding to Rauny, Destin left quietly northwards with Aisha, Quass, Gilbert and Saradin to stop the invasion plans of the Holy Lodissian Empire.
