1. #1Tellius

   Keys: Tellius; continent

   Tellius is the name of the known and inhabited part of the continent, surrounded on three sides by the ocean. To the east, Tellius adjoins a large land mass of unknown size. As Tellius is bordered by the Desert of Death, and no one has ever crossed it and come back alive, no one knows what lies beyond or how far the landmass extends. Because of this, it is assumed that Tellius is the only source of life that has not been destroyed by a cataclysmic flood.

2. #2Sienne

   Keys: Sienne;

   Sienne is the name of the duchy and also the name of the capital.

Begnion, the capital, as well as the duchy of the same name, is ruled directly by the Emperor and Apostle. In addition to the apostle and emperor, every member of the senate also has a permanent residence here.

   The duchy itself extends as far north as the Grann desert. To the east it extends to the sea, with a river and a tributary in the north-east forming the natural border with the Duchy of Salmo. Otherwise, the duchy extends to the sea in the south and west.

   The capital Sienne is also the headquarters of Begnion's famous Holy Guard, the Holy Dracoknight Guard and the mighty Begnion Central Army.

   Keys: Tower of Guidance; Guiding Tower; Holy Tower

   As Ashera's resting place, the tower is an unusual structure in many ways. For one thing, the tower cannot normally be entered by mortals, and the interior of the tower is much larger than its outward appearance would suggest. So large that you are advised not to dwell on this fact for too long, lest you go mad. The chambers all seem to be lit with ghostly blue candles, and the floors are on high platforms surrounded by a gap too far down to see. And the top room is guarded by a door that has been enchanted to ensure that it can only be opened from the outside with the goddess's permission.

Among other things, Lekain was secretly involved in the assassination of Misaha, a former apostle of Begnion. She wanted to tell the public that she was a marked woman, which could have led to a catastrophe, as publicising this fact goes against religious teachings and could have led to widespread social tensions. After the murder of the apostle, he, together with the Senate, provided a scapegoat: the laguz of the heron tribe. This ultimately led to the massacre of Serenes.

    • Name: Ashunera
    • Gender: Female
    • Race: Deity
    • Appearance: Young woman with bright orange hair and light blue dress
    • Personality: kind + gentle
    • Creation myth: In ancient times, there was nothing but the ocean until Ashunera descended and created the first life forms, as well as all the lands of the world like Tellius. It is said that she was lonely, as there were no creatures with feelings similar to hers. As if in response to her grief, various creatures evolved to keep her company, which led to the Zunanma. The Zunanma loved the gentle, kind goddess, gave her the name Ashunera and called her the Goddess of Dawn because of her shining hair, which resembled the colour of the rising dawn. The Zunanma eventually split into two distinct factions based on their physical abilities and traits; the Beorc (humans) and Laguz (beastmen). As their differences grew, the conflicts between the factions increased until they finally came to war. Ashunera was horrified and tried desperately to diffuse the tensions. But despite all her efforts, she failed. The sight of all the sacrifice and suffering left her so consumed with grief that her literal flood of emotions unleashed a great tide. A flood that buried the world beneath it. Almost every country in the world was buried under the waters, with Tellius being one of the few landmasses to survive. Ashamed of the destruction she had caused, Ashunera decided to discard her feelings in order to prevent another tragedy. Her emotions then took on a being of their own, Yune, the goddess of chaos, while her body became Ashera, the goddess of order.
41. #41Zunanma

    Keys: Zunanma

    The Zunanma were an ancient race and the precursor race of both the Beorc (humans) and the Laguz (beastmen). They were once the dominant species on Tellius and worshipped Ashunera, whom they referred to as the goddess of dawn. It is said that they evolved from animals. A few depictions show that they were apparently very anthropomorphic, bipedal animals. It can be seen that there are dragon-like, animal-like and bird-like Zunanma, which presumably transformed into the various types of Laguz. Ruins of their civilisation can still be found today in the Grann Desert, which is located in Begnion.

42. #42Branded

    Keys: Branded; Marked; Parentless; Half-Breeds

    Branded are the third humanoid species on Tellius and refers to all beings whose parents are Beorc (humans) and Laguz (beastmen). They look like normal Beorc, only they have a brand somewhere on their body that identifies them as Branded. This brand is the result of their descent from Beorc and Laguz.

    Despite the racial mix, the Branded look mainly like normal Beorc, lacking the chimeric traits of the Laguz and their ability to transform into animal form. Branded, however, have longer lifespans than Beorc, but not as long as pure Laguz. Many Branded also have an outstanding ability that makes them superior to normal Beorc. When a Branded is born, the laguz parent loses its ability to transform, regardless of the parent's gender. The special abilities of some races, such as the Galdrar the Heron Laguz, are also lost. There are also reports that Laguz mothers lose their powers at conception. The children of Branded may or may not inherit the brand, suggesting that the brand is a side effect of laguz ancestry. Beorc children of a marked retain their Beorc traits and lifespan. There are known cases of the brand reappearing many generations later in an unsuspecting offspring, even if they have two Beorc parents who have no brand themselves.

    Branded are often treated badly by both their parent races. The Laguz refer to them as ‘parentless’ and generally refuse to acknowledge their existence when a Branded person stands before them. In some cases, the laguz are known to hunt the Branded. One reason why many marked hate the laguz. The Branded are often labelled ‘Half-Breeds’ by the Beorc, leading to persecution and even execution if their mark is known. Being very similar to the Beorcs, most Branded tend to live among them, though most lead quiet, private lives to hide their slowing aging.

    The Branded are also sometimes mistaken for Spirit Charmer; people who have made a pact with the spirits to gain extraordinary magical powers, as these people also receive a mark on their skin symbolising the pact and the spirit that inhabits their body.

    In general, the birth of a Branded person is considered an abomination that should be avoided at all costs. This claim was driven by Begnion, which once ruled almost the entire continent.

    Also, Branded do not exist in the eyes of the goddess Ashera and are unaffected by her judgement should she carry it out.

43. #43The Great Flood

The embodiment of Ashunera's emotions and symbolises chaos. Believing that she could only become perfect if Yune was completely eradicated, thus eliminating her own chaos, Ashera summoned her three heroes to fight against Yune. Despite winning the conflict, she agreed, on the advice of Altina and Lehran, to have Yune imprisoned in a medallion to be known as Fire Emblem instead, though even this slowly caused Ashera to grow cold and unfeeling. Lehran tried again to ask Ashera to bring Yune back to herself, but to no avail. Instead, Ashera made a covenant with Lehran, Altina, Soan and Dheginsea. For a thousand years, she and Yune would fall into a deep sleep, allowing the Beorc (humans) and Laguz (beastmen) to live on as long as they kept peace with each other. When the two would awaken a millennium later, should the two races continue to wage war against each other, she would rain divine retribution for the sins of the humans as punishment for not keeping their promise of peace. A special song was created, the Galdr of Liberation, so that the two goddesses would awaken earlier and speak to each other to decide what action to take against the masses if there was ever any doubt about maintaining peace between the two races before their awakening. With this covenant agreed upon by the four representatives of Laguz and Beorc, Ashera entered her long sleep atop the Tower of Leadership. To prevent the Day of Judgement from coming to pass, Ashera's heroes spread legends about the ‘Dark God’ contained in Fire Emblem to prevent wars. In the years since her descent into sleep, Ashera's role as guardian of Tellius has been mystified in the eyes of her people, and she has been worshipped by the inhabitants of Begnion and other lands as a kind and loving goddess, with awareness of her true nature having escaped.

50. #50Spirit Charmer

    Keys: Spirit Charmer; Spirit Charmers

    A Spirit Charmer is a person who has invited spirits into their body (or, in rare cases, had them do it for them) in order to become more adept at using magic and/or wants their protection. Spirits can produce large amounts of the essence that fuels magic due to their interaction with the natural world. This allows the Spirit Charmer to become a much more powerful mage than would otherwise be possible. Such a pack also poses a danger to the wearer, as the summoner's soul may be consumed by the spirits. If such a pack is successful, the spirits leave a mark on the body of the summoner to show that the person is under their protection. However, this mark is often mistaken for the Brand of the Branded.
