Heroes of Fire Emblem
Last revised: 8th October 2008
In most of the Fire Emblem
games, there was a great war (or battle)
that took place hundreds of years before the beginning of the game. A
few of the elite fighters who fought in the war were remembered as
heroes. None of the games really told us much about these heroes, but
most of what we do know can be found here.

 The Three Heroes
(Image from Radiant Dawn) Over 600 years ago, the Dark God flooded the world destroying
all
but the continent of Tellius. The Goddess Ashera (Astarte in the
Japanese version) and three heroes fought the Dark God, eventually
sealing the Dark God away. At least that is what history tells us... Name: Deghinsea Deghinsea is the current king of Goldoa, the land of dragons,
and
the only surviving hero. Perhaps from his experiences, he warns the
other Laguz kings not to get into conflicts while Lehran's Medallion
exists. His son is Kurthnaga, a gentle and kind youth
who helps Ike's group cross the seas of Kilvas. Later it is revealed
that he was the one who created the Dark God myth, to prevent the
people of Tellius from warring and thus awakening the slumbering Ashera. Name: Altina A Beorc woman who later founded Begnion, and became the
country's
first
Queen. Her original husband was Lehran, of the Heron tribe, and she
bore a child with him. However, after it was discovered that Beorc and
Laguz interbreeding led to the creation of the Branded, her child was
raised by a Beorc husband instead. Her
descendants are Sanaki, the current ruler of Begnion, and Micaiah, the
Priestess of Dawn. Name: Soan |
| Some 800 years ago, five heroes fought the Demon King and
sealed him
away using five Sacred Stones. This is one game that is severely
lacking in information about the heroes, especially since only two of
the heroes are even named- Grado and Latona.
Name: Grado The Hero Grado was the leader of the five heroes and who later founded the Grado Empire. His descendants include the current Emperor, Vigarde, and the imperial Prince, Lyon. Name: Latona St. Latona founded the theocracy of Rausten. She is the ancestor of L'arachel and, her uncle, the pontifex Mansel. Name: Unknown Name: Unknown Title: Unknown Country: Jehanna Weapons: Ice blade Audhulma and wind knife Excalibur Likely class: Swordmaster that can use Wind magic or Mage Fighter (this was a class in earlier games that could use swords and elemental magic) |
 The Eight Legends
(Image from the Hasha no Tsurugi manga) Almost 1000 years ago, there was a huge war between humans and
dragons known as the Scouring. Mankind won this battle, but mainly
thanks to the efforts of eight heroes. These eight heroes became known
as the "Eight Legends" (or "Eight Divine Generals" in the Japanese
version). Their weapons became known as the "Divine General Weapons"
(sometimes referred to as just "Divine Weapons"). It should be noted that many of the suggested classes are based on the classes of the bosses that guard each divine weapon in Sword of Seals. For example, the boss that guards Durandal is of the Hero class. This reasoning might be strange, but you'll find that most of the classes will match up quite nicely. (Roland, Durbans, Athos and Bramimond have portraits in Blazing Sword, but I'm too lazy to include them for now.) Name: Roland Roland was the founder of the League of Lycia and he is the
ancestor
of many, including Eliwood and Hector. In Blazing Sword, Eliwood meets the
spirit
of Roland when he undergoes the test to obtain Durandal. During their
meeting, Athos refers to him as the "little knight" ("little hero" in
the Japanese version). Name: Durbans Durbans later resided at the Western Isles, although I'm not sure if he was the founder of it. When Hector undergoes the trial to obtain Armads, he meets the spirit of Durbans (who calls himself "Armads" like his weapon). Name: Barigan Barigan was the founder of Ilia, which is kind of ironic seeing as its now mostly woman-dominated. His most likely class is not General (the class of the boss that guards Malte), because he is shown riding a horse. Name: Hanon It should be noted that the English version of Blazing Sword incorrectly refers to Hanon as a male. In Sword of Seals (and the Japanese Blazing Sword), it is stated that Hanon is a woman. Hanon was the founder of Sacae, and the ancestor of nomads such as Lyn. Name: Athos After the Scouring, Athos stumbled upon the village of Arcadia in Nabata. He stayed at the village until almost a thousand years passed, showing little signs of aging. Athos appeared in Blazing Sword, helping Eliwood fight the Black Fang. At the end of the game, however, he finally perishes and it is assumed he was buried at his home of Nabata (or at least they took his magic tome back there). Name: Elimine St. Elimine founded Etruria and the religion of the continent. When you link up Blazing Sword to the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! bonus disc (on the GameCube), St. Elimine appears and grants exclusive and rare weapons/items to your game files. She also used the Saint's Staff, which is not a divine weapon despite it being an S Rank staff. Name: Bramimond Bramimond lost himself to Dark (or, what some call, "elder")
magic
and as a consequence he mirrors the personality of those who talk to
him. Along with Athos, he also survived the Scouring. However, after
Athos requests for Bramimond to release the seals on the divine
weapons, Bramimond states that he will go to sleep. Name: Hartmut Hartmut was the leader of the Eight Legends and later founded
the
Kingdom of Bern. Hartmut's divine weapon was Exaccus, a powerful blade
passed down by the rulers of Bern. However he also wielded the Sword of
Seals (not a divine weapon, but a weapon even
stronger than them), which he used to defeat the leader of the dragons.
To his surprise, he found the leader was just a young dragon girl being
manipulated. He defeated the girl, Idoun, but did not kill her- only
sealing her away within the Dragon Temple in Bern. |
 The Twelve Crusaders (Image from the Fire Emblem: Treasure book) A few hundred years ago, the evil Loputo Empire ruled the lands. When it seemed all hope was lost, at Darna, twelve gods descended and gave their power to twelve warriors. These warriors, known as the Twelve Crusaders, went forth to crush the Empire and form twelve kingdoms or dukedoms. Each Crusader has their own bloodline named after them (except for Heim) and a Holy Weapon that can only be used by their direct descendants. |
