Eliwood

A sincere noble of Pherae. His friends Lyn and Hector serve him loyally.

Eliwood is born to the noble house of Pherae, the only son of Lord Elbert and Lady Eleanora. From a young age, he's immersed in the world of Lycian politics and martial tradition. He meets Hector, the younger brother of Marquess Uther of Ostia, when both attend a noble summit as children. During a customary warrior's rite imposed by Erik of Laus, the young lords are ordered to cut their hands and form blood pacts through a symbolic handshake. Eliwood and Hector choose one another, and that bond deepens into lifelong brotherhood. From the age of twelve, the two spar every two months without fail, sharpening their skills and their friendship in equal measure.

Eliwood is a noble in the truest sense—not merely by blood, but by bearing. He carries himself with calm dignity and treats others with patience, respect, and kindness. Polished in speech and gentle in manner, he is known for his warmth and emotional intelligence, able to speak to anyone without condescension. Despite his high station, Eliwood consistently insists that others treat him as an equal, not a lord. He values everyone in his army—regardless of rank, gender, or age—and refers to them not as subordinates, but as irreplaceable friends.

Idealistic at heart, Eliwood believes in peace over violence, but is no stranger to the necessity of war. Though his natural demeanor leads others to view him as fragile or overly trusting, he remains resolute in the face of hardship. His initial journey begins as a quest to locate his missing father, but when Lord Elbert is found slain by those who seek to unleash ancient darkness, Eliwood takes up arms to avenge him and prevent disaster. In doing so, he transforms from a sheltered heir into a steadfast leader.

His comrades—veterans like Marcus and Harken—often urge him to stay behind the front lines, fearful for his safety. Even Hector comments that Eliwood is not built for the rigors of prolonged travel. Yet Eliwood never relents. Aware of his physical limitations, he still chooses to fight alongside his allies, believing that a leader must share in the same risks as those who follow him. To Eliwood, retreating from danger means turning his back on duty and friendship alike.

Eliwood’s empathy sets him apart as a commander. He listens. He learns. In his support conversations with Fiora, he probes gently into her experiences as an Ilian mercenary, recognizing the disparity between his noble privilege and her hard-won station. Though he dreams of a world where status doesn’t matter, he doesn’t let his ideals blind him to reality. Instead, he tries to bridge that gap—by seeking to understand, rather than erase, the hardships of others.

With Ninian, he reveals his quiet protectiveness, trusting her even when she implies she carries secrets too heavy to share. Rather than demand answers, Eliwood offers reassurance and patience. With Lyn, he extends encouragement without pretense, affirming her identity beyond expectation or noble etiquette. He calls her beautiful not for how well she plays the part of a lady, but for who she is—brave, honest, and unapologetically herself.

There are four unit types: Armored, Cavalry, Flying, Infantry.

Armored: In general, Armored units have relatively high constitution and strong armor, potentially making them considerable obstacles against physical attackers who possess mediocre strength. Their armor can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them, such as magic or other powerful melee weapons; their armored typing also makes them slower than other units. Cavalry: Fast units that attack while on horseback. They are very fast an can cover a lot of distance. Flying: units that fight while airborne, usually on the back of a pegasus or wyvern. They can fly over most obstacles. Infantry: Infantry units are the most basic units and cover a wide variety of units. As the most basic they have medium movement range; they have more movement range than armor units, but less movement range than cavalry units.
