Kingsglaive Continued
The Treaty Signing
Two days before the treaty signing, Lucis deploys Kingsglaive member Crowe on a secret mission to find Lunafreya and safely escort her to Alitissia for the wedding. Crowe is a close childhood friend of both Nyx and Libertus. Meanwhile, Nyx is reassigned to the castle guard for the treaty signing.
Sadly, Crowe’s mission fails and she’s found dead out in the wilderness. When the body comes back to Insomnia, Libertus and Nyx find out, causing Libertus to dissent and leave the Kingsglaive. The Niflheim envoy arrives at the city with Lunafreya surprisingly in tow. Regis sends Nyx to retrieve her, and at a party the night before the signing, Nyx and Luna finally get a chance to talk. He gives her the hairpin that Crowe was supposed to deliver, which actually holds a tracking device.
The day of the treaty signing arrives, and General Glauca abducts Lunafreya. As Niflheim and Lucis are meeting, Nyx gets word that Luna is missing and tracks her coordinates using the hairpin. He discovers an entire Niflheim fleet lying in wait just outside of Insomnia’s borders. Nyx receives permission to deploy the Kingsglaive immediately and rescue Luna, as Regis delays the signing until she’s safe. Meanwhile, Libertus has fallen in with a group of rebels, providing them with essential intel against Lucis. Ravus, Luna’s brother, is also in attendance at the signing.
The Attack on Insomnia
The Glaive successfully rescues Luna just as Nyx realizes it’s a trap, and Niflheim launches their attack on Insomnia and the treaty room with the help of the rebels. At the same time, a large portion of the Kingsglaive betrays Nyx and the others. Nyx and Luna barely escape as General Glauca and the Niflheim forces assault the treaty room and steal Lucis’ crystal.
Nyx and Luna rush to the treaty room and narrowly rescue King Regis, but he’s injured by Glauca. Ravus grabs Regis’ ring, known as the Ring of the Lucii. It provides great power, but its strength overwhelms and badly burns Ravus.
Regis asks Nyx to get Luna out of the city safely, and asks Luna to deliver the Ring of the Lucii to Noctis so he can use its power. The king then sacrifices himself to slow down Glauca and let Nyx and Luna escape. The pair journeys across the city before getting a call from the commander Drautos to rendezvous. At the meeting point, Nyx is ambushed by a member of the Kingsglaive and Drautos. Libertus shows up to try and save Nyx as he’s realized Drautos’ true identity is actually General Glauca.
In a moment of desperation, Nyx takes the Lucii ring from Luna, puts it on, and finds himself talking to the long dead and powerful old kings of Lucis. They grant him enormous power until dawn, enough to combat Glauca. Nyx gives the ring back to Luna and asks Libertus to take her to safety. A massive battle ensues between Glauca and Nyx, as Niflheim drops more Daemons to decimate Insomnia. Nyx draws on the power of “The Old Wall” of Lucis, and brings giant stone guardians across the city to life.
Libertus escorts Luna to safety outside of the city while Nyx, following a long and hard battle, defeats Glauca. Unfortunately, Nyx also loses his life in the process, as dawn hits Insomnia and the power he was given fades. Kingsglaive ends as Luna leaves Insomnia on her own, en route to Altissia to meet Noctis.
At this point in Final Fantasy XV, the prince and his party have been on their road trip to the wedding for quite a while now, and they receive word of the attack on Insomnia. The news reports state that not only are Regis and Luna dead, but Noctis himself has also been killed.
