Description

A young man with tousled hair stares back at you with confident turquoise eyes. The lion's face on his blade is as fierce as his gaze, but you sense no threat here.

Altam is a member of the Arthuan Unit of the Alban Knights. He is compassionate, overzealous, and occasionally hard on himself due to the mistakes he tends to make. In addition to this, he tends to idolize the Milletian, much to the annoyance of his captain, Avelin.

Mainstream Story

Generation 19: The Divine Knights (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Altam is initially encountered by the Milletian outside of the gate leading towards the Rath Royal Castle in Tara. He informs the Milletian that he is a fan and asks them for a handshake. When questioned about his knowledge on them, Altam tells the Milletian he has been following their adventures in Erinn, and furthermore, he respects what they are doing. He then senses that the Milletian is busy. Apologizing for holding up their time, he bids them farewell, hoping to see them again.

Later, Altam is discovered behind the Inn in Tir Chonaill. When asked by the Milletian regarding why he is there, he indicates that he is aware of where the Milletian's journey to save the Goddess began. He then reveals to the Milletian that he made a mistake in battle, resulting in one of his brothers being harmed, albeit not fatally. Furthermore, he was unable to complete his mission, leading his Captain to scold him. As Altam considers his current task, he asks the Milletian if they can help him. He tells them to meet him in Sidhe Sneachta, then leaves without offering the Milletian any details about the job.

In Sidhe Sneachta, Altam attempts to convince his Captain, Avelin, that the war they are fighting can be won if the Milletian is on their side. Altam then takes notice of the Milletian's arrival. He suggests that it may be possible for the Milletian to catch a certain "him.". After being advised by Avelin, he apologizes for revealing too much information to the Milletian. Shortly afterwards, the two leave to privately discuss something.

Eventually, Altam and Avelin return to Sidhe Sneachta to assist the Milletian in defeating Girgashiy. Once it is defeated, Pennar briefly appears and attacks the Milletian, prompting the knights to rush to the Milletian's side. When Altam is asked about Girgashiy, he falls silent, leaving the explanation to Avelin. He and Avelin then take their leave.

Much later, Avelin informs the Milletian that her superiors accused Altam of betrayal for seeking their help. Due to this, he was placed on probation. Talvish soon indicates that Altam has been placed in a temporary unit with the younger knights.

Sometime afterwards, Altam and Avelin arrive in Tara while the Milletian is attempting to protect the Tara Watchmen from mutated bears. When Avelin points out that the Milletian cannot be useful because of their lost powers, Altam informs her that the watchmen can hear her. Altam, Avelin, and the Milletian then move to a quieter spot, where Altam tries to reassure the Milletian through reflecting on his past mistakes. The two knights then leave for the Cave of Remorse, located in Corrib Valley.

In Corrib Valley, Altam briefs the Milletian on the Cave of Remorse. He tells them that what they witness within will be their memories, including the memory they fear the most. To cope with this, he says they must move forward, as all the memories occurred in the past. Altam then reassures the Milletian before they leave for the cave.

Afterwards, Altam points out the Shield of Trust gained by the Milletian. He informs them that the powers used by the Alban Knights revolve around turning their fears outward. In addition to this, he states that he wishes to make a difference in order to forgive himself for his past mistakes.

Later, Altam and Avelin meet the Milletian in Taillteann to hunt a complete version of Girgashiy. After its defeat, Altam and the Milletian are instructed to rest.

Soon, Altam, Avelin, and the Milletian meet up again in Morva Aisle to hunt the Prophets. The group moves further into Port Ceann, where they encounter another Girgashiy. Upon the defeat of the Apostle, the Prophets appear, leading to another battle. Altam informs the others that the battle could be a trap laid by the Prophets. After the fight, the knights learn that the Prophets intend to head to Rath Royal Castle to target Eirawen. Altam, Avelin, and Talvish then leave Eirawen's safety to the Milletian once all of the knights' powers are transferred to them.

Once Eirawen is saved, Altam, Avelin, and Talvish meet the Milletian in the Emain Macha Assembly Area. There, Altam gushes about the rumors praising the Alban Knights as a whole. However, he feels dissatisfied with the fact that he did not hear anything regarding himself specifically. He additionally tells the Milletian that Apostles will continue to appear as long as the Prophets are around. Before he bids the Milletian farewell, he says that he will be practicing until his next meeting with them.

Shortly afterwards, the knights, together, recite the motto of the Alban Knights' Organization.

Generation 20: The Gate of Sanctuary (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Suspecting the Prophets to be around, Altam appears at the Graveyard in Taillteann with Avelin following the Milletian's discovery of a corpse with a glowing, golden aura. Upon confronting the Prophets, however, Brilluen, Pennar, and Marcan take their leave. Altam then begins small talk with the Milletian, which causes Avelin to remind him of their mission before he gets carried away. Even so, Altam asks the Milletian for their help with the mission. He also tells the Milletian that he intends to keep a record of their actions in his journal. Knowing that the Prophets seek an abundant supply of corpses, Avelin deduces that it would be best to search the other graveyards in Uladh, starting with Tir Chonaill's first.

Altam, Avelin, and the Milletian head to the graveyard in Tir Chonaill, searching for the Prophets. However, after Avelin explains that their search was unsuccessful, she suggests staying in the town until nightfall in case something turns up. She asks the Milletian to keep on the lookout, then senses something coming from the graveyard. When the group discovers Reanimated Corpses, Avelin explains that the Prophets may have used their Unholy Light to revive them. Avelin then informs the group that it is necessary to eliminate the corpses since they have already become tools for the Prophets.

Soon, Altam, Avelin, and the Milletian find themselves completely surrounded by the Reanimated Corpses, much to Altam's dismay. Avelin suggests that the Prophets had to know they would go to Tir Chonaill's graveyard. The group is once again left with no choice but to defeat the corpses. After the fight, Avelin tells Altam and the Milletian that she intends to submit of report of the incident in the graveyard. She directs the others to rest and remain in Tir Chonaill while she is away.

As Altam and Milletian have a break, the Milletian notices a glowing object in the Adelia Stream. The Milletian retrieves it before returning to a concerned Altam. Altam then suggests to bring them dry clothes, but upon realizing his wording choice, he blunders and alternatively suggests that he starts a Campfire instead. Very soon, the Milletian asks Altam about the Elder, to which Altam is unable to properly answer. Altam then suggests asking the generals other than Avelin about the Elder.

Sometime later, Avelin returns, informing Altam and the Milletian that another case of the golden aura appeared near the Qilla Base Camp. She suggests to leave Tir Chonaill once the others are ready. When the group arrives at the Qilla Base Camp, Avelin points out that she can sense the Prophets' traces. Questioning how it is that the Prophets are always a step ahead, Avelin also orders the Milletian to remain on guard with Altam while she investigates the area. Unfortunately for the group, Reanimated Corpses appear. Altam then questions the possibility of the Prophets killing people to turn them into the corpses due to the lack of graveyards in the area. Avelin considers this idea, ultimately dismissing the Prophets as "nothing but unruly Fomors." She then points out that the corpses outside of the Qilla Base Camp are different from the ones in Uladh, warning Altam and the Milletian to be careful when defeating them.

Following the defeat of the Reanimated Corpses, Altam, Avelin, and the Milletian decide to take a small break. Avelin eventually decides that the group must continue investigating, asking Altam and the Milletian to take turns standing watch. However, the group grows alert, with Avelin commanding the others to step aside. An Apostle-like creature suddenly appears. Avelin then tells the Milletian to prepare the defenses, while Altam must prepare the binding. After the two perform the desired actions, Avelin uses Judgment Blade on the creature. The group's efforts are in vain, however. As a last resort, Avelin informs Altam and the Milletian that they must lure the Apostle west and away from the camp. The group splits to take different directions, but soon discovers that an impenetrable barrier is in place, preventing them from moving further.

Soon, the group discovers a weak point in the barrier existing behind the Apostle. Avelin then tells the Milletian to escape with Altam while she distracts the Apostle. Altam expresses concern for Avelin, which Avelin gives him credit for, however she also orders him once more to leave. Furthermore, Avelin tells the Milletian to keep Altam out of trouble.

After Talvish shows up and chases away Marcan, who had been controlling the Apostle-like creature, Talvish explains that the Apostles can be stopped by attacking the Prophets if the Prophets are nearby. Altam praises Talvish for his actions. Avelin, on the other hand, points out that the attacks and Crusader Skills used by Altam, the Milletian, and herself had no effect on the Apostle. After Avelin and Talvish discuss the Milletian's role in assisting the Alban Knights, Talvish ultimately informs the group that he intends to consult the Commander to ensure the Arthuan Unit has authorization to carry out the mission. Moreover, he tells the others that he will be free to accompany them on the mission.

Afterwards, Talvish suggests for the group to head to the ruins of the Alban Knights, then reminds the group that he must consult the Commander before he leaves. Avelin shares her thoughts about Talvish to Altam and the Milletian, then tells them to finish up their work at the Qilla Base Camp head for Belvast.

After Altam, Avelin, and the Milletian enter the ruins of the Alban Knights, Altam points out to the Milletian that the ruins were what they saw using the necklace. Altam then questions the possibility of the Prophets being in the ruins as well, prompting the Milletian to explain their memory of the Elder and the previous Alban Knights fighting off the Heretics within the area. Altam is then taken aback, however Avelin suggests that they cannot make assumptions just yet. Suddenly, Avelin senses traces of Unholy Light, throwing her into disarray. The group is then left with no choice but to defeat the Crystal Boars, Crystal Wolves, and Crystal Bears that are suddenly present. When they move further in, Altam, Avelin, and the Milletian notice Brilluen and Pennar. The group then engages the Prophets in battle.

After the fight, the Prophets escape, adding to Altam and Avelin's confusion. Avelin then suggests to keep moving. Upon moving closer to the Avalon Gate, Altam expresses that the Apostle from before, the Elder's necklace, and the fact that the Prophets made it to the Avalon Gate is too much to handle. Avelin tells him that they will talk about it when Talvish arrives.

Once Talvish arrives at the Alban Knights' ruins, Altam fills him in on the details. Talvish suggests the possibility of the Prophets invading the area prior to the knights encountering them. He then tells them that he will report the new information to the Commander. Moreover, he tells the others that the Commander considered the situation serious enough that all of the generals should join the Arthuan Unit in its mission. After a bit of consideration towards the idea, Talvish then tells everyone to head to the Emain Macha Assembly Area, where Caswyn and Pihne are soon expected to arrive.

After the Milletian convinces Talvish to allow Altam to tag along on the dangerous mission, the group heads to the Emain Macha Assembly Area. There, the knights and the Milletian wait for Pihne, who eventually shows up. An ambush of Reanimated Corpses also appears and attempts to strike Altam, however Pihne uses Lightning Rod before any damage is done. The knights and the Milletian then find themselves surrounded by more corpses, leaving the group no choice but to fend them off.

After the Reanimated Corpses are cleared, the knights notice that Caswyn, the leader of the Heruin unit, still has yet to arrive. Pihne suggests waiting for him, but the knights realize that he is more than late. It is then by Pihne suggested that the knights and the Milletian head to the a will to the west of Taillteann to find him.

The group heads to the hill west of Taillteann, but find that Caswyn is still not present. The group then splits up to find him, with Altam and Avelin heading east.

Once Caswyn is found by the Milletian, Talvish addresses the pressing matter at hand now that the four generals have reunited: tracking and defeating the Prophets. In addition to this, he asks Caswyn and Pihne for their thoughts on Altam being included in the mission. Pihne says that Altam should be free to make his own decisions despite being young, while Caswyn, initially indifferent, states that he has no objections. Avelin, by then convinced, also decides that Altam can come along, bringing Altam great joy. The group is then given the name "Celestial Six" by Altam before heading to Cor Village.

In Cor Village, Pihne is able to gather intel and deduce that the Apostles will likely return by nightfall. Talvish suggests they all remain in the area until then. Afterwards, Caswyn points out that something is strange without specifying what. The Celestial Six then wait until midnight for the possible attack.

At midnight, Altam and Talvish split from the group to search for any Prophets in the area. They return not long after Avelin, Caswyn, Pihne, and the Milletian encounter and defeat an Apostle. The Celestial Six then take a break.

Once the Milletian discovers the location where the Arthuan Shard is sealed through the use of the Elder's necklace, the Celestial Six head to Lunae Valley. When the Arthuan Altar is revealed by Avelin, the Prophets also show up with the intent of stealing it. A brief fight occurs between the knights and the Reanimated corpses with Zebach before the Prophets escape.

Pihne searches the altar but is unable to find the Arthuan Shard, leaving her to guess that it has fallen into the Prophets' hands. The Celestial Six then discuss the strong probability of the Prophets intent to pass beyond the Avalon Gate and find the Elder's body. With this information, they decide on a plan to reclaim the Arthuan Shard from the Prophets and find the remaining three shards. The group subsequently splits to allow the Milletian, Avelin, and Caswyn to rest at the Hot Springs, while Pihne, Altam, and Talvish hunt for the Prophets.

The knights move out to seek the Heruin Shard at Port Ceann next. Once they move deeper into the beach, Caswyn eventually appears along with the altar. He secures the Heruin Shard and indicates that he modified the altar's security device into a trap, which successfully catches Brilluen and Pennar. Marcan then appears with a more powerful version of Zebach. The Celestial Six and the Milletian are left to defeat it while the Prophets escape. At the conclusion of the battle, Pihne suggests that the new Apostles brought by the Prophets could be a sign of the Prophets' desperation to obtain the shards.

Soon, Altam questions the possibility of a traitor existing amongst the group. Avelin tells him not to spout nonsense, while Pihne reassures him by stating that none of them would dare to work alongside the Prophets. Contrarily, Caswyn suggests to investigate Altam's theory anyway. This causes Talvish to urge the Celestial Six to think rationally. When the Milletian states that they are the traitor, the knights are thrown into disarray. However, Talvish indicates that this cannot be so; the Alban Knights would have known since there is constant surveillance on the Milletian. Altam further expresses concern for the Milletian, telling them that they do not need to attempt to harm their reputation for the knights' sakes.

The Celestial Six have a moment of rest. When Talvish asks the Milletian to cook for the knights, Altam grows excited, saying that he loves the idea. The knights then split into teams of two to gather ingredients. Altam and Pihne work together to dig up shellfish along the shore. Once all the ingredients are gathered, the group enjoy a meal cooked by the Milletian.

Sometime later, Altam suggests hiding the Heruin Shard in a place safe from the Prophets. However, they discover that the Prophets were already in the area, watching the group from the cliff. The Prophets disappear when the knights raise their guard. The knights question this, but soon find themselves caught in a trap set by the Prophets. The Black Wizard then appears with the Heruin Shard in his possession, taunting the group before he leaves.

The Celestial Six head for Blago Prairie to locate the Eiler Shard that was seen there in the memory. Upon arriving at the location, Pihne eventually reveals the altar using her Divine Light, only to become exhausted afterwards. On the other hand, the knights notice that the chest where the Eiler Shard would be has already been tampered with. Altam considers the possibility of the Prophets being nearby. Much to the knights' surprise, the same Apostle from before appears. The group realizes that it has no choice but to fight it.

After the fight, Talvish revisits the idea of a traitor existing amongst them, further stating that the Prophets may have the Elved Shard already. However, Pihne and Caswyn suddenly disappear, causing Talvish to ask the Milletian to search for them while he, Altam, and Avelin look for the Prophets in Belvast.

Sometime after the Milletian returns with Pihne and Caswyn, the Celestial Six arrive at the Avalon Gate grounds and discover Reanimated Corpses within the area. The group soon finds all of the Prophets gathered outside of the gate as well. The Celestial Six then prepare for another battle against Zebach, this time in its final form. Unfortunately for the knights, the Zebach overwhelms each of them, including Altam.

After Zebach is defeated by the Milletian, the Prophets manage to pass through the Avalon Gate using all the collected Alban Knights' Shards. The other knights besides Talvish soon wake up, allowing him to relay this information to them. He also points out that his efforts of combining the knights' Divine Light when the Prophets used the Sacred Mark caused the Prophets to become trapped beyond the gate. It is then decided that although the Celestial Six completed its mission, a new strategy must be devised.

Talvish then asks about the others' well-being and if they wish to rest, prompting the knights to do so. Very soon, it is decided by Talvish that the Celestial Six must disband. Avelin states that she and Altam will keep an eye on the Avalon Gate and the Prophets. Pihne suggests Altam to stand guard from time to time, prompting Avelin to disagree, even though she feels he has grown more trustworthy. After the group splits, Altam asks the Milletian to hang onto his journal. He then bids them farewell.

Generation 21: The Guardian's Path (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Altam and Avelin arrive at the Emain Macha Assembly Area, where they meet Llywelyn and the Milletian. Altam greets the Milletian, but then notices the Elder's sword hilt they are holding and points it out. When the Milletian explains that they had communicated with the someone from the past through the use of the sword hilt, Altam initially expresses disbelief. He soon recovers from his shock and compares it to the situation with the Elder's necklace, in which the object was seemingly looking for the Milletian. He and Avelin then take their leave to head to Avalon Gate.

Altam, Llywelyn, and Caswyn arrive in Avalon as reinforcements when the Milletian, Avelin, and Talvish are attacked by Hasidim at the Knights' Epitaph in Avalon. During the battle, Altam indicates that the Apostle seems humanlike and in pain, unlike the previous Apostles the knights faced.

Once Hasidim is defeated, Altam explains to Talvish that he and Llywelyn felt a wave of Divine Light while they were discussing the knights' new situation with Caswyn and Pihne. The gate leading to Avalon suddenly opened, and Altam, Llywelyn, and Caswyn gathered troops to pass beyond, deciding that the threat existed within Avalon.

Eventually, the knights split up, with Altam, Avelin, Llywelyn, and the Milletian following Talvish deeper into the fields of Avalon. Altam indicates that the Divine Light in the area is much stronger than usual, feeling as if it is "bottled up, ready to explode." Avelin then explains that Altam had diligently trained his Divine Light skills as he guarded the gate, further illustrating that what he senses is accurate. When Talvish orders the Arthuan Unit and the Milletian to scout the area, Altam suggests for the Milletian go with Talvish. Altam is reassured, however, and told that it be would safer for the Milletian to venture with the Arthuan Unit.

The knights split, with Llywelyn, Avelin, Altam, and the Milletian beginning to scout near the forest. The Arthuan Unit further splits, with Altam and Llywelyn searching the swamp surrounding the Yggdrasil Tree together with the Milletian. Initially, Altam indicates that he is unable to uncover any clues. He then expresses his frustration, saying that he trains hard, but fears that he will make a mistake during a crucial moment, or allow someone to get hurt as he once had in the past. When Altam asks the Milletian if he is a coward, Llywelyn returns, interrupting the conversation. Altam then reminds Llywelyn that Avelin had told them to remain on guard by the swamp, despite Llywelyn wanting to venture past it. When the two notice the Yggdrasil Tree, however, they decide to inspect it much more closely.

After the Milletian receives another vision from the past, Altam questions what would happen should the dragon seen in the vision break free. He is reassured by Llywelyn that the Milletian's description of the dragon was not threatening, and that the dragon may instead be a guardian. The group then trudges on to find the Prophets.

Very soon, the knights and the Milletian discover Brilluen and Pennar trapped within minerals. However, the Sylvan Dragon that was seen in the Milletian's vision suddenly appears, prompting the knights to engage in battle with it.

The group turns its attention back to the trapped Prophets once the dragon is defeated. After the Milletian relays new information from the Elder, Altam and Llywelyn are ordered to prepare for The Prayer of the Humble: a ritual to release the Prophets.

Afterwards, the Arthuan Unit returns to the Knights' Epitaph to inform Caswyn to use The Prayer of the Humble to release the trapped Marcan. The knights then temporarily take a break.

Eventually, the Alban Knights scouting Avalon reunite, and the Milletian explains that the Elder wishes to see the world beyond Avalon Gate. To that, Altam questions what the Elder would think of the world in its current state, since it must be different from what he expects.

Much later, Altam and Llywelyn meet the Milletian in Blago Prairie, where they help them defeat an Armored Girgashiy. Altam explains that the Prophets are still unconscious and the captains are trying to figure out what to do once they are awake. He then says that the knights were paired up and sent out to assess the situation in Uladh. However, after patrolling the graveyards, he and Llywelyn headed for Blago Prairie once they heard that the Milletian was there. Subsequently, Altam recommends for the Milletian to visit Iria for the Elder's sake. He and Llywelyn leave to check in with Avelin.

Soon, Altam meets the Milletian in Vales, where he informs that the Prophets have suddenly disappeared without a trace. He then suggests for them to hurry back to Avalon Gate to track down the Prophets.

At Avalon Gate, Altam, Avelin, and Caswyn begin to discuss the matter of the Prophets disappearing. When Avelin questions the possibility of a knight helping the Prophets, Altam tells them that he does not want to distrust the other knights. Once Llywelyn arrives and temporarily returns to his quarters, Altam explains to the Milletian that the Arthuan Unit is one member short due to an accident Altam had made. With much guilt, he further explains that the knight who was hurt never recovered and is now bedridden, with Llywelyn is serving as their replacement.

When the Arthuan Unit and the Milletian return to Avalon, they come across Mokkurkalfi, another guardian. Altam and the others begin to fight it, but quickly find that it possesses regenerative abilities. Altam and Llywelyn are instructed by Avelin to gather materials to create wildfires, then lure the worms to the fires. Once the worms are dealt with, the knights and the Milletian defeat the guardian.

Sometime later, Altam, Avelin, and the Milletian follow Llywelyn, who spotted an injured knight at the Forgotten Shore. When they catch up to him, the injured knight explains that his unit had been attacked by a giant turtle monster during its search for the Prophets. The Arthuan Unit and the Milletian then head deeper into the beach, where they find Caswyn and Pihne, who by then had already dealt with the enemy. The Arthuan Unit is then informed by Pihne that the turtle monster was a guardian of Avalon.

Subsequently, the Arthuan Unit and the Milletian head to the City Ruins when the Prophets are sensed there. However, the entire group becomes trapped in separate minerals upon its arrival.

While trapped in the crystal, Altam finds himself in an illusion world where he is at Avalon Gate. He then realizes that the setting reminds him of when his Divine Light first manifested itself. Rushing into the ruins, he watches a scene containing his master and his younger self. Altam's younger self is unable to control his Divine Light despite his Altam's Master|master's instructions. To save him from draining his life energy, Altam's master decides to suppress Altam's Divine Light through Binding. As his master undergoes the process, however, a huge surge of power bursts forth from Altam, eventually pushing his master into the falls below the ruins. Present Altam then berates his younger self, and in despair, begins to use Binding to trap his younger self. Before he sees success with this, the Milletian, who was also watching the scene, uses Shield of Trust to bring him back to his senses. Altam then tells the Milletian that he cannot trust himself. After the Milletian's reassurance, however, Altam tells them that he trusts and believes them, causing the illusion to crack.

Very soon, the Prophets appear and send Hasidim after the knights, this time stronger than before. The knights eventually come to defeat Hasidim and weaken the Prophets. However, the Prophets escape after being interrogated by the knights. It is then decided that the knights carry out an investigation.

Later, Altam is found by the Milletian at the Knights' Epitaph. He explains that the knights' investigation is not going well, then switches gears to speak to the Milletian about the illusions they witnessed. In their conversation, he tells them that he believes he would have been trapped for a long time if the Milletian did not help him. He then admits that he wishes he could have done something good for the Milletian as well. Subsequently, Llywelyn arrives and relays Talvish's order for the knights to have a moment of rest. When Altam makes a slip, referring to Talvish as the Commander, Llywelyn confirms this and says that he was tasked with delivering Talvish's order to Altam and the Milletian. Altam then regrets his slip of the tongue, but informs the Milletian to forget what he said and take some time to rest. Before Altam and Llywelyn leave, the former hangs his head in misery.

Eventually, all the knights except for Talvish reconnect at the altar in the City Ruins. There, Altam gives the Milletian a Bundle of Flowers and a bag of cookies, saying that they might find them calming and reinvigorating. The knights then begin to recite what they recognized from a mysterious voice in the ruins, with Altam informing the others that he heard "can't," "the heaviest," and "why." When the Milletian begins to inspect the altar, Altam tells them that he began to hear a faint voice after placing his hands on the altar and closing his eyes. The knights then find themselves approached by Tagar, the source of the voice, and have no choice but to defeat her.

After the fight concludes, the knights meet Talvish at the cliff. When the knights begin to ponder over how to reach the Sanctum, Altam points out the unicorns in the area. Llywelyn deduces that the group must ride the unicorns to reach the Sanctum. It is then established that some members of the group will stay to guard the rear. Altam suggests that Llywelyn's gift of premonitions would make him a beneficial candidate in staying behind to guard. However, Llywelyn staunchly refuses to do so, prompting Altam to apologize.

Once the Arthuan Unit, Talvish, and the Milletian reach Berg Mesa, they encounter an enemy. The group is informed by Llywelyn that the enemy is Creag, a Golem who was tasked to guard the way to the Sanctum, but may have become corrupted by Unholy Light. Even so, Creag does not seem to be aggressive due to the possibility of its seal not being completely broken. The knights and the Milletian defeat Creag to proceed to the Sanctum.

Upon arriving in the Sanctum, Altam tells the others that he can feel the strong concentration of Divine Light as if it's pushing down on his body. He informs the Milletian that standing upon the sacred land feels like a dream he would not have dared to hope for. Furthermore, he tells the Milletian that he hopes that they will see him as someone they can count on. Altam then swears that he will defend them in Aton Cimeni's name.

When the knights venture deeper into the Sanctum, they stumble upon the Prophets, who stand before the coffin where the Elder's body rests. The Prophets quickly find that the coffin is empty, however, and instead decide to attack the knights together with Hasidim.

After the Prophets and Cichol are dealt with, the knights begin to reassess the situation at hand, pinpointing that the Elder's body was not found within the Sanctum and the Prophets have been eliminated.

All the knights are soon gathered within the Sanctum along with Merlin. Through Merlin, the knights are able to learn that Talvish is in fact the Elder. After Talvish uses the Elder's Greatsword to impale the Milletian, Altam interposes himself between the Milletian and Talvish, questioning if harming the Milletian is Aton Cimeni's will. Altam then admits that he does not fully understand the current situation, but cannot comprehend what "holy purpose" the knights would be serving through hurting the Milletian. He then begins to fight Talvish, but ends up being defeated.

After Talvish takes the Milletian with him to the center of the temple, Altam follows after them, fighting past the Holy Sprites in the area. Once he reaches the center, where the Milletian is kept within a barrier, he grabs the hilt of the illusionary sword impaling them. After several taxing attempts, he manages to remove the sword impaling the Milletian. He then collapses from exhaustion, while the Elder's sword dissipates into light to be absorbed by his body.

Subsequently, when the Milletian checks on him, Altam expresses that he hopes he was able to help them. Then, he falls unconscious.

Much later, in the Infirmary, Altam suddenly wakes up after hearing the Milletian's voice. When the Milletian visits him, he asks the Milletian about their condition. Altam then tells them that he was able to see the lives of both the Milletian and Talvish through their eyes. After he expresses that he is glad the Milletian is well, the two realize that all of the other knights are present.

As Avelin and Llywelyn express concern towards his condition, Altam tells them that he was happy to learn that the Milletian was safe. Altam then asks about Talvish, resulting in the Milletian explaining their most recent interaction with Talvish.

Following the explanation, Altam informs all the other knights and the Milletian that there was something he was hoping for. After some initial hesitation, he begins to recite the first line of the Alban Knights' motto. Once the others fill in the rest of the lines, he recites the final line together with them.
