[edit] Story
King Raminas led the people of Dalmasca for many years. A great king, he ruled his kingdom peacefully, and had a good rule. He has only one daughter, Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca, and eight sons. Unfortunately, all of his sons died either from war or illness, leaving Ashe the only surviving heir to the throne. He was good friends with Marquis Ondore of Bhujerba.
When the Archadian Empire started its advance towards Dalmasca and Nabradia, Raminas married his daughter to Lord Rasler of Nabradia, so that their two kingdoms could stand together. Raminas was also the person who put Rasler in charge of Dalmasca's army.
After Archadia took Nalbina Fortress, Raminas gave in to Archadia, and signed Dalmasca's terms of surrender. However, this was a trap, since with the document signed by Raminas, the Empire had no more need for him. Killing him in an elaborate ruse, Archadia was finally able to take over the small Kingdom of Dalmasca.
