A River of Tears Objectives

A River of Tears Objectives
1 With the air being tense upon the results of the Scales of Conviction, Frederica completely rejects the outcome of the vote.
2 Much to her anger about Roland's seeming path of equity and Serenoa's honoring of the Scales more than the Rosellans, Frederica challenges Serenoa to a duel.
3 Frederica admits defeat and accepts punishment for defying the Scales. However, Serenoa respects her decision and wishes not to settle for anything less than what she believes in.
4 After the cutscene, Frederica will leave your party and you will be sent to the World Map.
Main Story unlocked: Hierophant's Palace
5 Proceed to the Hierophant's Palace to see the Saintly Seven's next course of action upon Roland's submission to Hyzante.
6 After Roland's appointment as one of the Saintly Seven, news reach the ears Gustadolph quickly as he finally decides to give it his all in order to reign all of Norzelia.
