Lavitz is the head of the First Knighthood in the Kingdom of Serdio. Being one of King Albert's most trusted knights, Lavitz grew up in the Kingdom of Basil as one of many generations of knights. Overall, Lavitz is a friendly man, dutiful to not only his country but his friends and family. The story dedicates time to developing the relationship between that of Lavitz and Dart to parallel one of brotherly love. In comparison to the protagonist, Dart, Lavitz is stockier. He sports a blonde fringe cut paired with heavy-set brows that frame light eyes- a pale shade of blue/gray.

Personality and Traits

Living up to his father's reputation, Lavitz is bold and loyal. Lavitz's very person is an oriflamme to his fellow knights, a symbol of national pride and strength. As the lead knight in the First Knighthood, Lavitz is trusted by the king to lead the offensive. Though Lavitz is a powerful warrior, he is also a beloved mentor, a gentle son, and a good friend. In the adventure, Lavitz and Dart are seen spending their down time together and sharing advice. As highly as he speaks of his father, Lavtiz speaks of his mother with delighted enthusiasm and is made only more happy at the thought of introducing others to her. The king trusts Lavitz martially and personally as Lavitz had trained the king in lance faire. But Lavtiz's compassion does go beyond his friends, his family, and his country, as it extends to strangers and possible enemies as well. Though the plot begins with the capture of Shana, the characters are truly motivated and pushed onward by the heart of Lavitz.

Story

Chapter 1: Serdian War

After the protagonist Dart Feld leaves the burning rubble of Seles, he crosses a Forest and enters Helena Prison to rescue his childhood friend, Shana. Helena is an impenetrable prison, renown for its torturous treatment of prisoners of war. As Dart crosses the wooden bridge and enters the second pillar of Helena Prison, he comes across a Hellena Warden harassing two Knights of Basil. The knights rage against their capture and urge the wardens to fight them now instead of feeding them to a monster. Just as the wardens begin to answer the goad with greater violence, a warden from down the hall is thrown dead on the ground and a knight in green cloth and silver armor enters the scene spinning a lance. The knights greet the new comer as "Sir, Lavitz," introducing the first party member addition in the game. Dart and Lavitz must team up and fight together to get out of Hellena. As Dart explains that he must first rescue someone, Lavitz agrees to aid in the rescue before they leave, despite the fact that Lavitz has important information to share with the castle. Dart quickly respects Lavitz for his straightforward trust and they are able to successfully find Shana. When Shana agrees to fight alongside them, Lavitz accepts her strength for surviving Hellena and offering her bow. After a short scene where Fruegal commands his soldiers to kill Dart and reclaim Shana, the heroes must fight their way back to the front gates of the prison where they confront the head warden for the first time. Though he partially is to blame for the soldier's presence in Seles, Dart's party must flee before Fruegal can be fully defeated, as more guards are incoming. As Dart and Shana charge over the gate bridge on their horse, the gate begins to pull up while Lavitz is still on it, threatening to spill him back into Hellena and trap him against an impossible amount of soldiers. Lunging from the nearly closed bridge, Lavtiz successfully catches up to Dart and Shana, following the pair out towards the Prairie.

By Fruegal's command, the wardens hunt the band of heroes into the prairie. Hurtling down the curving paths, Lavitz's leg is lacerated by an arrow strike. Dart, Shana, and Lavitz dash behind a tree to shake off the wardens on their heel. The opportunity to rest and consider next steps was now. The group shelter at a rural farm to tend to Lavitz's now limping leg and consider the fastest route to get Lavitz to Indels Castle in Bale. During this time, Dart shares of his 5 years hunting The Black Monster due to the burning of Neet. Lavitz informs Dart and Shana about the current condition of the civil war of their nation of Serdio. The Kingdom of Basil is at war with the Imperial Sandora. Laviz must inform the king that Emperor Doel now has the power of dragons, a previously mythical creature. Dart confirms shares his earlier experience with a dragon. While Lavitz reports about the warfront, the knight agrees that Dart may speak with Minister Noish about The Black Monster. Restored, the group continues toward the castle.

While on their way to Limestone Cave, the group finds a family of three sitting on the path. If Dart approaches the family, the father confronts Lavitz for destroying their lives and forcing them to flee Sandora. As the wife pleads for forgiveness, Lavitz assures that the family are welcome to Basil and will be treated with compassion for their suffering. The family are surprised to find such kindness from an enemy knight, and are further surprised when Lavitz offers the child food and suggests that the family stays with his mother in Bale. Though the group continue on ahead of the family, it is possible to see the family in Lavitz's house later on in the game, if the player had interacted with them.

Inside of Limestone Cave, the heroes must fight many poisonous and confusing enemies before they meet the end of the cavern. Just as the light of the exit is in view, a loud hiss resounds in the cave, once, then twice. The heroes draw their weapons and are rushed by the guardian of the cave: Urobolous. Dart deals the final blow, sending the large creature sprawling on the cavern floor. As the team continue past the serpentine monster, the beast raises one final time to ambush Shana. Dart and Lavitz are too slow to intercept. Shana turns to confront the creature and does not draw her bow. A light emanates from her forehead and illuminates the cave. The supernatural light burns away Urobolous, which shrieks with agony as it disintegrates. Lavitz and Dart watch on with shock. No one can offer an explanation, but are glad that Shana is unharmed. The party continues towards Bale.

The Capital of Basil is the first true city that the party encounters with shops, an inn, a clinic, and interactable npcs. The townsfolk, when not commenting on the war, will remark delightedly about Lavitz's safe return. The Portraitist Girl at the first house entering the town will paint a head and shoulder portrait of Lavitz that is a receivable item. Continuing to the right half of town, the party will enter Slambert Plaza, dedicated to Lavitz's father, Servi Slambert. By talking to all of the individuals in the town plaza, it can be learned that Servi was killed by a close friend named Graham and that Lavtiz is resentful towards this man. Graham is currently part of Imperial Sandora.

Inside of Indels Castle, the party kneel before King Albert, who greets them warmly, as he was greatly concerned about Lavitz's disappearance. The knight reports that his battalion was destroyed and he was the sole survivor, being captured and placed in Hellena Prison. The king is greatly appreciative of Shana and Dart's assistance in rescuing Lavtiz, but cannot agree to Dart's request for Shana to stay at the castle, as the fort at Hoax cannot stop a dragon with flight abilities, making the castle a possible target. As Dart and Shana excuse themselves to consider their next steps, Lavitz and Albert discuss the war effort privately. When the party regroups at the castle balcony, Lavtiz updates Dart and Shana that most of the people of Seles had survived the attack. He also goes on to say that the dragon will be used against Hoax, and that he must leave to fight it. Dart and Shana resolve to end the war against Sandora to prevent further casualties and agree to join Lavitz on the front lines. Lavtiz suggests that they go to the weapons shop in Bale and stop by his mother's place, adding- flustered yet delightedly- that she would be happy to have guests.

The meeting with Lavitz's mother is initially chaotic, as the party members scramble to shut Dart up about Hellena Prison and then clarify whom Shana is married to out of Dart and Lavitz. Introductions made, Dart and Lavtiz take a tour of the house while Shana assist's Lavtiz's mother in making lunch. Lavitz explains each room as Dart enters, from the height chart marks in Lavitz's room, to the additional odds and ends in the storage room, to finally the library with strategy books and a path to a secret "treasure." Climbing up the step ladder to the window, Lavitz and Dart sit on the roof, which has a beautiful view of Indels Castle. They sympathize on Lavitz's difficult role as a knight and Dart's role in protecting Shana during the war. Then Shana calls them, and they come down to eat. The party prepares to leave after their meal, but as his mother continues to fuss, Lavitz agrees that they will sleep at the house for the night. Though he declined any at first, when Shana and Dart leave upstairs, Lavtiz also requests the jerky that his mother offered him to take with. She rushes to the kitchen eagerly, finishing all necessary preparations before the adventurer's journey to Hoax.

Just before the party exit Basil, a hurried woman named Martel runs into them, crashing into Dart. The party will eventually learn about the woman's interest in stardust, but for now, they scratch their heads and continue on to the battlefront.
