As the prior cutscene indicated, the Duke of Ghor has called an emergency Congress in Elysion. However, there are some optional activities you can do first, if you so choose.
Optional Content
DLC Bosses
There are now three special monster encounters available to fight. On the X360 version you have to simply download the DLC from the Marketplace for free. On the PC version, you have to complete certain guild tasks to be given special items as noted below.

David meets with the Duke of Ghor while Irina visits the Academy and helps them tune the Remnant-locating device. Irina suggests many Remnants might be hidden in plain sight, possibly even appearing as a mitra. This causes Rush to take note. David enters the Academy room and informs everyone that no other Lords showed up to the Congress. Hence, David has been ordered to find out what has happened to the other Lords. Irina quickly asks if she can go along, and David, caught off guard, agrees after Rush nods in approval. Emmy is appointed to look after Irina.  |
Visiting the Lords
To Celapaleis
Visit the Celapaleis Castle to get another cutscene.
| Spoiler warning: Cutscene details. |

|
Rush's party enters the castle only to find Lord Qubine gravely afflicted, only able to scream out words in pain. He tells you this must be someone's plan and you must tell the Duke of Ghor. Although he asks you to not tell the Duke of his personal condition, lest he never hear the end of it.  |
To Ghor
Afterwards head to the Castle in Ghor for another cutscene.
| Spoiler warning: Cutscene details. |

|
After reporting your findings, the Duke of Ghor agrees something sinister is at play. Then suddenly an evil looking Hermeien appears in black smoke. He has someone been empowered by the Remnants and claims he tried to "share" this gift with the other Lords but they were too weak to handle it. Hermeien expresses his desire to rule the world and invites the Duke of Ghor to join him. Sensing he isn't welcome, he leaves, threatening everyone to see things his way or else. Then the Duke of Ghor begrudgingly picks up his Remnant weapon, realizing this can only end in war.  |
You may visit the other Lords but there is nothing special apart from different text reflecting their afflicted status.
To Athlum
| Important: Missable quest reward. |
|---|
|
If you complete The Silver Falcons: Part Three after this very next part of the story, the quest is slightly easier but you miss out on the only quality reward: Wishing Coin. |
| Spoiler warning: How to continue the story. |

|
Finally, go back to the Castle in Athlum for yet another cutscene. |
| Spoiler warning: Cutscene details. |
|---|
|
Back at the castle, David and John use the Remnant-locator device to reveal six black dots on the map. Irina senses the same dark power emanating from these spots as she felt from Hermeien. It is agreed that Hermeien must be in the center of these spots, at Koenigsdorf. David orders the party to go there at once but asks that the Duke of Ghor not be told of their assault plans. |
