I apologize for those that missed my initial plotting post at the beginning of the month, but I've got a lot of threads planned and won't be able to take on more memory shares at this time. Thank you for your understanding, I'll make sure to hit more people next month!
Edelgard's Mirror, The Beginning:
The mirror, Edelgard's Mirror, is an ornate affair. The kind of thing that one would expect to find associated with someone who's influence has shaped a continent's future, for better or for worse. It has an eagle motif worked around the edges, though with considerably more going on. Wings ringed with golden, thorny vines and topped with roses made seemingly out of ruby, the wood has a more bony appearance, as though it'd been carved out of the remains of some great beast.

"It was not an easy decision, no. But the burden is simply the burden of a ruler. It is made lighter by the support of my people. I made a choice to do good for them, but in truth what choice did I have? People were dying, and what you saw this day was the only way to stop it."

"You seem to have that support in spades." If the cheers were anything to go by, anyway.
"I trust it worked?"

It's a simple word, but there's a lot of meaning behind it. Edelgard's voice is firm, proud. She is glad of what she's done, even as she wishes that there was a less bloody way to accomplish it.
"The dragon is gone. Fodlan is free of her clutches. And my reforms have already begun to take place. I was in the process of finalizing many of them when this place called me here, but already things were beginning to come back to life. Sciences that would have been deemed heretical learning new forms of medicine, trade with neighboring nations, and people who would have been trodden upon rising to new heights. I could ask for no better a beginning to a new era."
