During the [[Sun Rune War]], the [[Imperial City Recapture Army]] arranged a meeting with Skald on [[Nirva Island]] as the admiral traveled to Falena for Princess [[Lymsleia Falenas|Lymsleia]]. The Recapture Army requested an alliance with the Island Nations Federation, represented by Skald, but the admiral turned the request down, citing the [[Obel Maritime Council]]'s line on the matter. However, when he was impressed with how the Prince helped deal with a band of pirates threatening to burn down the [[Nirva Lighthouse]], he did convince Bernadette to serve as his representative before continuing his journey to [[Sol-Falena]]. | During the [[Sun Rune War]], the [[Imperial City Recapture Army]] arranged a meeting with Skald on [[Nirva Island]] as the admiral traveled to Falena for Princess [[Lymsleia Falenas|Lymsleia]].

For example, by pretending to have decided to burn the Nirva Lighthouse down in order to thwart the pirates, he forced Bernadette to accept the help of the Prince in capturing them instead. Similarly, his rash choice to take his navy into battle against the [[Godwin Faction]] was another ploy designed to have Bernadette quickly volunteer to join the Imperial City Recapture Army instead, proving that Skald was a very shrewd man as well as a great admiral. | ||

After the war, Skald was sent on the trails of [[Yahr]] and [[Nelis]], his former subordinates, who had destroyed the Federation's store of [[Rune Cannon]]s before fleeing the country. | After the war, Skald was sent on the trails of [[Yahr]] and [[Nelis]], his former subordinates, who had destroyed the Federation's store of [[Rune Cannon]]s before fleeing the country. |
