UPDATE: This project is complete as of August 24th, 2017! All profiles, concept art, history, and other tidbits have been translated. Support conversations and story summary are the only sections left alone as they will likely offer no new information and can already be found in the game.
A link to a bulk download (.rar format) and imgur gallery can be found below!
This post is a compilation of all my Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn Memorial Book: Tellius Recollection (Vol 2) related posts in one neat place. Each section you see below has an individual post, too, which may share translation notes and other tidbits not present on this post.
This will be just like the Volume 1 project.
Unlike last time however, thanks to donations, I managed to unbind the book. The scan qualities will be highest, cleanest, and in PNG format. In this thread, however, they will remain JPEG (simply to save cloud space). The final RAR will have the high quality PNGs (and they will be available by request).
It will be updated every time some new scan or information of interest comes to light.
Assisting me on this project (may be) the wonderful users Microwaveit, AstroknighticalFeats and VincentASM of serenesforest.net. Their translations will be noted/credited!

I just noticed that his post is pinned. I was thinking that you hadn’t posted anything since this and I was sad. I never actually scrolled past the top post when checking for updates! Now I have so much stuff to go back through and read!
Oh, well glad you did so! I have slowed down on posts due to work, but I do try to post on the weekends : ) I hope you enjoy catching up!
Thanks for the Ike profile!! You’re fantastic! Really love seeing the work that you do 🙂 I’d like to know, but forgot to ask, if you planned on translating the timeline in this book?
Sorry for the late reply! The timeline seems similar to the FE9 one so I haven’t translated it yet, but I hope me or one of my friends gets to doing it : )
Hello!! Thank you SO much for all the work you’re doing, it’s so helpful and amazing of you to take the time out of your day to translate these pages! It’s crazy to think that all of this info is only recently coming out, given how long ago the game was… (I’m dying for Shinon’s bio!! idk if there’s still a tally list around or anything, but if there is could you add one for that jerk?)
Hi! You’re most welcome. Honestly, it’s comments like this that keep me going. : ) My true passion is indeed to translate things like this that never quite make it west, so it really warms me to see that the few people who do read it really appreciate it. With a full time job and all, it really takes quite a bit of effort on my end to get these done on the limited free time I have. xD
Yes there is a tally list actually, and so I added one from you for “that jerk.” xD There’s about 30 something profiles left, so I’m sure you won’t have to wait too long!
Hey I know we’re all super busy lately!! but when might we see a translated Ike page? 🙂
Yeah… it takes a long time to transcribe and translate the pages, but I’ll try to do Ike next as many have wanted him for awhile. : )
Thanks s’much! It’s amazing the work you do. good job!! 🙂
Haar’s relationship with Jill is not that of a romance, it says… then why can they get married?
I guess, that can change in the future…
It probably grew to romantic when it wasn’t at first, I guess, as you said. xD

Renning’s profile is confusing me… it’s saying that the anti-Elincia crowd would have died down if Renning’s survival was known… and then citing it as a reason Bastian needed to keep his survival a secret… which makes it sound like he wanted an open rebellion for some reason. What??
It’s for the same reason as Ike going into hiding. Bastian mentions in game that this was to bring those rebellious ones out of hiding, rather than let them lay low through Renning and rise again later on. xD
IMO he should have at least told Elincia, his QUEEN, and let her decide
Yeah, that’s why Ike said Bastian would make a good villain. xD
A few things are bothering me about Almedha’s profile.
1. Her apparent age is listed as 26, appearing older than Rajaion (23), when I could have sworn he was the oldest
2. Listed as a beorc… which could make sense since the fact that she is a laguz is a secret to most of the characters for quite some time, but it says here that it’s because she lost her powers. This is bothering me since a “fallen” laguz is distinctly different from a beorc, something Tibarn notes is that she smells nothing like either a beorc or a laguz.
3. She has no affinity, even though Elena and Rajaion had affinities and they didn’t appear as units either. So what does this mean? She has NO SOUL???
1.) Perhaps her age of appearance is different than Rajaion, without meaning she is any older. It is simply appearance! (Though approx. may be a bit misleading here)
2.) I think in terms of outwardly appearance/public image, beorc is probably what she’s passing off as.
3.) This I’m not sure about. xD But maybe it means she was never intended to be playable, where as maybe the other two were for whatever reason.
The artwork of “Giifca, Ranulf and Kyza” has been replaced with just Kyza’s profile, you should fix it…
Fixed! Thanks for pointing that out!

Good day to you sir! When might we be expecting an Ike page to be translated? 🙂
Hi there! There’s a few more concept art pages to do, then I’ll be back to doing profiles. Ike has a longer profile, but I’ll definitely be getting to him earlier than later as he’s in popular demand. : )
Are you sure… “ladies’ man” is how it describes Kyza?
They specifically mean his appearance, rather than his “boring” personality. xD The word they use is 乙女らしさ, or “fitting/appealing for the young girls.” (It could also mean, “like a young girl”, but it’s more likely the former definition).
So basically… he is a pretty boy
Yes, basically. xD
“Why is “pretty boy” an insult? Like, call me a pretty boy! I want to be the prettiest damn boy you’ve ever seen!” -Kysha, probably
xD
MY BOYS
Is it possible to get a higher quality, or bigger version of the Hatary crest/symbol? There’s one on Nailah’s page but it’s really quite tiny…
Unfortunately that’s the only one there is. I could manually enlarge it, but that would still be in fuzzier quality… but if you think someone could digitally edit it to look more defined again, I can happily pass it onto you.
Is anyone else lowkey horrified by the little dancing piece of paper and the rock labelled “SOUL” with no explanation in Danved’s concept art?
Wow… I did not actually notice that. This needs more investigation! xD
Upon closer inspection, it’s a top view of his head, rather than a rock! xD It’s his hair style, I guess its soulful!
That paper however is still strange.
Maybe the paper is Nadved and was planned to have another appearance in RD
xD This is a possibility!
I think that’s pretty likely, actually!
If there’s any information on Lehran, profile or concept artwork, I would love to see it. Same goes for Mist! 🙂 I love them both a lot.
Lehran’s concept work has already been posted, though I will double check if there are any with the winged appearance. Noted for Mist!

Is it just me or is there an unused portrait of Ranulf on the relationship chart?
Hmm, I think you’re right! When comparing to his final pose that’s more leaned over, it’s definitely slightly different.
http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/2/27/Ranulf.png/revision/latest?cb=20100903022734
Looking closer, Lucia’s eyes seem different, Marcia’s pose is different, Soren’s face is tilted slightly, and I think there might also be something up with Jill.
It seems like they’re based off their POR portraits. Of course, for me, Ranulf is my favourite, so I’m more concerned about the drastic change between hunched-not hunched. I know there was an unused portrait page in the POR book, is there one here anywhere?
The gallery that features the character portraits in this unfortunately seem to lack unuused ones…
Oh, just noticed Mordecai and Janaff. Mordecai’s head is tilted and Janaff has also been moved into a non-hunched stance.
I feel they may have had a standard pose to put everyone in initially then. Hence the lack of hunching and all that, and perhaps made those adjustments later, as well as cut out Elena and changed Ashera’s pose, etc.
Oh, it’s such a shame that even in the art book (!) they can’t show us the unused portraits. Such a waste of art!
Yeah… it seems they basically had so many character profiles and concept works to go through that they ran out of space for much else, compared to the FE9 book…

On your twitter it says that Nailah’s profile “confirms” she is romantically involved with Rafiel, but I’m not seeing that. . . . Is it the bit about the “vows”? Or referring to him as “beloved”? Were the terms less ambiguous in Japanese?
Vows and beloved I made more ambiguous in English to line up better with the English version without changing the original Japanese meaning. But on the relationship chart in the book, they are referred to directly as husband/wife/romantic partners, and throughout the Japanese version she uses the term used for partner (beyond companion) too.
THEY WERE MARRIED THIS WHOLE TIME AND I NEVER EVEN NOTICED
It doesn’t help the localization seems to have taken it out entirely… xD
What is actually in the fourth chapter “Scenario”?
Or is it an entire chapter devoted to Soren XD *ba-dum tish*
It’s just all the base conversations scripts, no cut dialogue or anything. : )
Would you zip the entire book (raw)? For personal use. 🙂
Yep I have it zipped already : ) Okay if you won’t redistribute it anywhere, then please send me an email (under contact) and I will send you the link!
ELENA! ELENA!!!
Yeah it’s pretty cool! xD
Could you please prioritize Yune’s bird form concept art
it’s extremely important
Do you need the image or just the brief description? The only description is “The small bird form Yune takes when with Micaiah.”
that is enough . . . thank you . . .
Hello! I love the work you’re doing, and I really appreciate it! c:
Is there any more information on Fiona or Heather? I really love them but they’re so underrated. :’c
Hello! Thanks for the kind words : )
Yes, Fiona and Heather have some pages. I will add them to the list of priorities for you. There are still a few others in higher demand, but rest assured I will get to them eventually!
Could I also request Heather?
Noted!
Could we get Lethe and Nephenee pages, please? And though I doubt there’s much info, Ohma would be nice. also the lances page if this book has it like the last one did?
This is such a great source of information, thank you all for your hard work!
Ohma or Lances don’t have pages unfortunately. I’ll add Lethe and Nephenee to the list, though!
You’re welcome! Thank you for the kind words. : ) Feel free to donate if you like what I’m doing here, though of course that’s not an obligation!
After I get paid, I certainly will try to! 🙂
Is there a page on Sentinel designs? I’ve always been interested in the armor design there.
Hmm I think they’re included with a few of the others. I’ll add it to the list!
And . . . if there’s any basic info about Hatari in general, could we see that please?
That may be in Nailah and Volug’s profile but there’s nothing major on it. I’ll count it as prioritizing them.
Darn it . . . if you introduce a new country from nowhere, I’m gonna want to know about that country!
I just uploaded Nailah’s profile and concept art to the compilation post. It doesn’t talk much about Hatari, so Volug’s main profile is your last hope. xD
But yeah there’s no section on settings like there was last book…
Do they tell you what kind of Branded Zelgius and Amy are, or Almedha’s affinity?
Amy lacks a profile, Almedha’s does not state her affinity, and Zelgius’s does not as far as I saw.
*single shining tear runs down my face*
IZUKA
WEARS
SANDALS
Newest revelation xD
I’m pretty sure no one has yet, so I’d like to request Almedha’s character bio if you could?
I’m sure no one has yet so I’d like to request Almedha’s character bio if you could?
Alright! I added a +1 next to her name. You’re the first/only person to request it, as you thought. : )
Forgot to mention, it just as for personal character reference. 🙂
Okay, if that is what it’s for. Please send an email to my contact address and I will send you the link : )
Can I have the raw RAR?
Hey! I know this is the most typical request, but I’d like to request the Ike portrait & bio if you don’t mind. Also Soren and Micaiah would be spectacular when you get the chance! 🙂
No problem if it’s typical! I added your priorities to the list, and so that boosted Micaiah quite a bit (she was tied with another few, now she’s just behind two people). Thanks!
I didn’t know Edward was so popular! Who else is on the top of your list? haha and I know Ike is the main guy so I expected you got quite a few requests for him right?
Funny enough, you’re the first person to request Ike. xD (I guess because people want to know more about the side characters).
So next seems to be Pelleas, followed by Oliver (xD) then Mia, with Micaiah right after her. : ) That is still ongoing though, if more people were to say, request Micaiah tonight then I would get to her after Pelleas, etc.
Oh interesting! I had no idea I figured everyone would want to know Ike in case there is extra info or whatnot. I am also super curious about Soren and Oh! Sephiran! I forgot about him too!
Added Sephiran too! Rest assured, when priorities run out I just go by what I think would be most interesting to fans too. xD And of course will eventually cover the whole book!
Hi again, I’d like to ask for permission to upload some of these concept arts to the FE Wikia (with credits of course) if you don’t mind.
Please do! So long as you credit! Thanks for asking : )
Oscar is apparently “confirmed 24”? But wasn’t he that age three years ago?
Yep… seems to be something a lot of people are picking up on… xD
