Ilyana is a soft spoken, kindhearted, somewhat ordinary girl, with one very big problem... her appetite. She's a very sickly young lady throughout much of Path of Radiance, and much of this isn't explained until the characters start to get to know her better. Her weakness, her fainting, her frailty, all of it is due to a lack of food. If it's fair to say every character has one defining trait, Ilyana's would be her insatiable appetite for food. Her need to eat so often, shapes much of who she is as a person, and she struggles daily just to get the proper amount of food she needs. She often relies on the kindness of others to help her meet her daily food quota, and almost all funds she earns from her work as a mercenary, goes toward feeding herself. Ilyana is usually flat broke thanks to her need for insane extra quantities of food, and as such she usually lives a more humble life without many luxuries.

Oftentimes she can be quite manipulative without even completely realizing it, using her charm and good looks to try to make people feed her. For instance, she would not be above going out on a date with someone, just so that she could have them pay for her meal, and has even does so. She rarely even remembers the names of the people who buy her food, being terrible at putting names to faces. However, if said person makes it a habit of feeding her, she will try to make a conscious effort of remembering their name, as that is the polite thing to do. She doesn't like the fact that she forgets peoples names after they've been kind enough to offer her food, she's just usually so hungry that it's hard to think of much else at the time. She is always grateful to those who help her though, and will often help people who have helped her out, in almost any way she can.

While one of Ilyana's most defining traits is her eating habits, she is also an archsage of immense power. To become an archsage requires quite a bit of studying, and discipline, and she is the the only playable lightning mage in the game. If it were not for the discipline she developed from learning the arcane arts, she likely would have sold her essential equipment for food. She is quite proficient with her lightning magic, and as such knows not to use it irresponsibly, as her magic can wreak some serious havoc.

Ilyana tends to like cute animals, and Ilyana is also quite fond of Laguz. Laguz are shape-shifters that can transform into great beast like animals, and their more human form, which still has many animal characteristics, such as a tail or ears. Laguz in her world are a different race from the Beorc (As this game likes to call human beings), and as such, many of the Beorc have a lot of prejudice towards Laguz, which Ilyana does not, as she is a much kinder and gentle person. She was able to remember the name of a Laguz she befriended, more than any other human being she had encountered.

Despite her voracious apatite, Ilyana doesn't like it to be well known knowledge that she eats as much as she does, for fear that people might judge her poorly for it, or worse, stop feeding her so much. Because of this she will often simply grow faint and weary from lack of food, because she doesn't necessarily wish to reveal her true nature to strangers. If someone she knows eats in front of her while she's feeling particularly starving, she isn't above swiping a chicken wing right out of their hands, as they're trying to eat it. One could say Ilyana is actually quite shy in many respects, but once she gets to know someone she's quite warm, especially if she has something to snack on.

She will often get quite defensive if someone pokes fun at her eating habits, as she's very sensitive about her daily struggle for food. There are very few things that can enrage Ilyana, but stealing her food, or making fun of her, is a nearly surefire way to do it. When it comes to matters of flirting or romance, Ilyana mostly just views it as a tactic for getting food, or potentially making a friend... who likes to feed her. She's not really all that interested in things like flowers, jewelry, or knights in shining armor. She's more interested in more practical things like, food, spell books, friends, food, a warm place to sleep, surviving her next battle, food, saving the world, fighting for what's right, freedom, and of course, more food.

Tellius

18 entries · scan depth 2 · budget 512 tokens

Tellius is a continent and the main setting of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. It appears to be a peninsula, with ocean to the north, south and west. To the east, Tellius connects with a mainland that extends for an unknown distance. However, Tellius (and the nearby kingdom of Hatari) are believed to be the only sources of life not destroyed by a cataclysmic flood.

Tellius contains several nations, each ruled by a single ruler and, in some cases, powerful senators from each duchy of the land. At the end of Radiant Dawn, Ashunera watches over the continent as well.

#1Begnion
Keys: Begnion, Senators, Apostle, Senator, Empire, Slavery
The Begnion Empire is the oldest beorc nation on Tellius, and at one time consisted of all three beorc nations. However, both Crimea and Daein emerged as separate nations before the events of Path of Radiance. It is ruled by an empress (descended from Lehran and Altina) who is deemed as the Apostle and is said to be able to hear Ashera’s voice, and several senators from the different regions of the nation. Unlike the other nations of Tellius, Begnion puts a great deal of stock on social classes and birth. There is a long history of curruption in the emperial senate, as well as Laguz slavery before the emancipation act. Some senators still keep Laguz slaves in secret.
#2Crimea
Keys: Crimea, Elincia, Duke Renning,
The Monarchy of Crimea is a relatively new nation and considered a suzerain state of Begnion. Of all the beorc nations, it has the best relationship with the laguz and is the only country out of itself, Daein, and Begnion not to declare war on the Laguz Alliance. Crimea was destroyed by Daein during The Mad King's War, and spent the following three years recuperating and only narrowly avoided civil war. It is ruled by Queen Elinica after the events of Path of Radiance.
#3Daein
Keys: Daein · Secondary:
Like Crimea, The Kingdom of Daein was a part of the Begnion Empire before Path of Radiance. After its defeat in The Mad King's War, it fell back under Begnion control. The Begnion senate used its influence to cruelly break the country's spirit. However, the Dawn Brigade, with the help of the Daein Liberation Army, was able to overcome the Begnion Occupational Army and restore Daein's independence. Daein differs from the other beorc nations in that its more recent rulers (Pelleas and Micaiah) are not supported by a senate.
#4Goldoa
Keys: Goldoa, Dragon Laguz, Dheginsea
Goldoa, home of the Dragon tribe existed in complete isolation and neutrality prior to the events of Radiant Dawn. Its sole monarch up to that point, Dheginsea, refused to mingle with the rest of Tellius until Ashera’s awakening. Then, he brought his people to the Tower of Guidance to defend Ashera. Goldoa's capital is Goldoa Castle.
#5Galia
Keys: Galia, Skrimir, Caineghis, Gifca, Cat Laguz, Tiger Laguz, Lion Laguz
Gallia is known for its great forests, and is home to both cat and tiger laguz. It is ruled by a king and a council of advisors. Gallia has also formed close ties with the neighboring nation of Crimea. A peaceful nation, Gallia invaded another land only once in its entire history, when it led the Laguz Alliance against Begnion in Laguz-Begnion War. Gallia's kings are always chosen by who is the strongest among them, which is why the Lion Laguz usually rule Gallia. Their current king is Caineghis with his close bodyguard Gifca, and next in line is Skrimir. Gallia's capital is Castle Gallia.
#6Phoeniscis
Keys: Phoeniscis, Hawk Laguz, Tibarn, Reyson
Phoeniscis is a small island nation to the south of Tellius and home to the Hawk Laguz. They are ruled by their King Tibarn, and are known for being fierce pirates of the sky. During the events of the Serenes Masacre Prince Reyson and his father King Lorazieh had been visiting Phoeniscis, and stayed there after their homeland was destroyed. The hawk tribe viewed the heron tribe as brothers, and would specifically attack Begnion ships in retribution for the genocide of the heron tribe. During the events of Radiant Dawn, much of Phoeniscis was destroyed by Begnion while the hawk tribe's warriors were fighting on Begnion soil.
#7Kilvas
Keys: Kilvas, Raven Laguz, Crow Laguz, Naesala
Kilvas is the island nation of the Raven Laguz lead by King Naesala to the south of Tellius. Unlike the hawk tribe, the ravens are opportunistic, and will be pirates against any ships that sail their waters. The raven Laguz are often viewed as treacherous and bad luck, but there's a reason for why. In order to gain their independence the old king had signed a treaty with the Begnion senate known as a blood pact. He had planned to simply disobey the treaty once they had won, but the blood pact could not be so easily broken. Naesala inherited a nation that was crippled by this sinister magic and under the tyrannical thumb of the Begnion senate, but he did his best to play thr senators against one another and steal and swindle his way into blackmailing the senate to free his people.
#8Hatori
Keys: Hatori
Hatari is a land outside of Tellius, separated from the other countries by the Desert of Death east of Daein. It is a monarchy and the home of the Wolf laguz, also some beorc and even branded live in Hatari. However, little else is known about the land. So few people had historically crossed the Desert of Death and survived a return that very few people knew the country even existed. What is known about Hatari and its culture is that its isolation from the nations of Tellius has insulated it from bigoted treatment of the Branded. In Hatari, such people are openly acknowledged and treated as equals.
#9Serenes
Keys: Serenes, Heron Laguz, Heron Tribe, Reyson, Leanne, Rafiel, Bird Tribe
The Serenes Forest is a large forest nation in northwest Begnion which was once home to the heron laguz before the Serenes Massacre. The Serenes Massacre lasted three days and only the royalty of the herons survived: Reyson, Rafiel, Lillia, Leanne and Lorazieh. It happened twenty years before Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance begins. During the massacre, the forest itself was burned, but was restored at the end of Chapter 17. Once thought to be the work of Ashnard when he still was a prince of Daein, the Massacre was revealed to be the work of the Begnion Senate in a move to exterminate the heron laguz and was a major point of contention in the Laguz-Begnion War in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. It is revealed near the end of a second playthrough of Radiant Dawn that it was the Serenes Massacre that was Sephiran's main motivation for requesting Ashera to pass judgement on the world. The forest is later home to the united bird tribe of Laguz under King Tibarn.
#10Sienne
#11Melior
#12Nevassa
#13Laguz
Keys: Laguz, Sub-human
Laguz are one of the two races that descended from the ancient Zunanma, the other being the beorc. Unlike the beorc, laguz are largely chimeric in appearance, mostly appearing as humanoids with animalistic features such as tails and wings. This is due to their ability to shift into a complete animal form. According to the Tellius Recollection, laguz tend to have extended lifespans when compared to the beorc. Most Beast and Bird laguz have lifespans more than two centuries while Dragons can live up to a millennium.

Laguz are able to bear children with other laguz, however, it is unknown what combinations are possible amongst themselves. It is known that at the very least similar tribes are able to mate and bear children who adopt the race of one of their parents such as in the instance of Leanne and Naesala who are said to have bore a Heron girl and a Raven boy in their married epilogue despite being of two separate bird tribes.

They have a long standing history of distrust, hate, and slavery with the beorc also known as humans. The humans would call their Laguz slaves sub-human as a racial slur or insult, and as a result the Laguz started to use human as a racial slur too.
#14Beorc
Keys: Beorc · Secondary: Humans, Human
Comparable to humans in the other games, beorc have no special abilities regarding transformation, as opposed to their Laguz counterparts. Where the Laguz use claws, fangs, beaks, talons, and breath as weapons, beorc use tomes, swords, axes, lances, bows, and other items to fight, as with the characters of every other Fire Emblem game. In Tellius society, beorc co-exist with the laguz, and like the laguz they are descended from the ancient Zunanma race. Beorc are known as the "Children of Wisdom."
#15Branded
Keys: Branded, Sex, Pregnancy, Impregnation, pregnant, · Secondary: Laguz
It is possible for a Laguz to mate with a beorc (also known as a human), but in this instance, an odd quirk occurs to both the laguz parent and their child. The child is born like a normal human, however they receive a Brand on their body, signifying the union of laguz and beorc. It is unknown what causes this quirk. While the child does not gain the ability to transform, they are granted the laguz's extended lifespans and often special talents that normal beorc lack. For the laguz parent themselves, they instantly lose all abilities to transform into their animal forms.

Because of this odd quirk there is an intense prejudice against Beorc and Laguz romantic relationships, and the children of such a union are often viewed as being cursed. Laguz who lose their powers are often shunned by their brethren and Beorc alike, and and the child is similarly ostracized.
