"In Crossbell's not-yet-century-long history, countless cruel tragedies have taken place. The anguish of being caught between great powers and their conflicts finally erupted in the form of a declaration of independence. It was also in those turbulent years that everyone had to confront a question in their hearts: What do you truly want? With that question in mind, those who would one day be called heroes set out along the paths they had chosen." - The Turbulent Years: The Perilous Road to Independence
"People do not want to admit that they were once protected by criminals. Yet, according to documents recently released in part by Police Headquarters, even the inhabitants of the underworld lent their strength to defend Crossbell during the most tumultuous years, until the civil war ended. Their methods can hardly be called ethical from the perspective of a law-abiding society, but their influence on the course of this state's history may have been deeper than people imagine." - The Light and Shadow of Crossbell
