It merely crystalized and sank deep into the earth. "They knew that the salt still remained, even without the sea. Here, where the only known salt was at the lake future generations would christen the Source, war inevitably broke out for its control. When an unspecified cataclysm occurred (given the strikingly realistic elements which comprise Triangle Strategy's ostensibly fantasy-epic setting, it is possible this so-called cataclysm was merely a matter of extremely swift continental shift), many Centralians migrated north into the newly-risen Norzelia. The peoples who would one day come to claim its verdant valleys, scorched sands, and glacial northern reach were all inhabitants of Centralia, a place where ample salt was drawn from a word we in the real world know well, but Triangle Strategy's fictional characters find alien to the tongue: "ocean." Long ago, Norzelia was a landmass still beneath the sea. It is Orlaea we must thank for recording the legend of the Roselle's true history within her diary, and accordingly, the plot of Triangle Strategy itself which dramatically confirms her claims.

In the hopes that Frederica might one day free the remaining Roselle from the wicked grasp of the Goddess' Teachings, Orlaea crafted a diary telling the full tale of her people's origins and the real reasons for their plight. After being taken in by Aesfrost, Orlaea gave birth to a daughter named Frederica. To say Orlaea lived quite the life would be an exercise in understatement, and well worth further exploration.īut the broad strokes are thus: Orlaea led a fraction of the Roselle away from Hyzante, most of whom founded a village in the present-day Wolffort Demesne. Born a slave, she would ultimately die as a concubine of Aesfrost's Grand Duke Zigmunt.
Time has played its dark role on the people's memories just as Hyzante had hoped.Ī certain woman named Orlaea, last keeper of the histories, led a rebellion against Hyzantian oppression from the very bowels of the Source. In the final decades preceding the events of Triangle Strategy, however, the story has all but been forgotten. By nature of their virtue, then, the Hyzantians enjoy the very salt monopoly their Roselle bogeymen were persecuted for seeking.Īlthough the Roselle were powerless to prevent Hyzante's machinations, their true origins were passed down verbally through the centuries to prevent their culture from being universally eradicated. The Goddess, whose lakeside Source was ravaged by Roselle's tyranny, placed the aggressors in multigenerational tortuous squalor with the promise that they might still find salvation in her generous heart should they toil away until their very deaths.Īnd so the Saintly Seven insist, and its tidily ignorant people thus believe, that it is nothing short of divine providence for the Roselle to mine the Source's salt. The Roselle's "justified" enslavement was backed by the Teachings of the Goddess. They sought complete control over salt – an all-important resource modern society believes can only be found in a single lake at the heart of Hyzante's capital – and for their villainy, they were enslaved. The Roselle, it is said, were cruel manipulators whose greed knew no bounds. Per their will, the citizenry believes nigh-universally in the formal stance that the Roselle are descended of sinners whose grievances against the Goddess (Hyzante's foremost holy figure) have led to their forced servitude today. Hyzante is ruled by an elite order known as the Saintly Seven.
