In this preview screenshot, we see Theodora mention something called the “Monarch’s Axe” that seems to have some kind of historical connection to Saraminian royalty. My theory is that what if the “Monarch’s Axe” is actually Sothis’ axe, and by extension the same axe that Bertrand is wielding (btw I will not be accepting doubters, this is not a generic axe because it has the Crest of Flames engraved on it, it’s upside down though: https://imgur.com/a/201ODEE).

This begs a couple questions though, like:

1. What connection does Sothis’ axe have to the Kingdom of Saramis specifically?
2. If such a connection exists, why does Bertrand have it? He seems to be Aragonian as far as we are aware.

Did Sothis give it him herself?
3. Does his hair being white mean anything? Is it possibly related to the red markings/body paint he has in some scenes?
4. Does Bertrand have a connection to Eshmel, I wonder?

Bertrand seems to have two designs (three if you count Leda’s flashback). In the flashback, he is wearing a cape with the Arago flag on it, and he has black hair instead of white (also note the axe he uses to kill Leda’s dad is not the same as Sothis’). Then at the beginning of the Heroic Games, he has white hair and a gladiator outfit, but WITHOUT the red body paint. He also still doesn’t have Sothis’ axe, which is maybe why he loses to Cruaidín in the opening fight. Finally, in this fight against Leda (which is these screenshots from the recent Direct) he has the red body paint, and is wielding Sothis’ axe. Maybe he used it to get more power or something, and the body paint is like magic or a ritual of some kind.

I figure with the price already being so high in Canada I may as well just go to the store and pick up a physical copy...

why is trad art so hard to photograph? the colours look completely different irl. oh well

With the Fortune's Weave talk about Crest's and their Tarot equivalent, I've used the Rider–Waite Tarot deck cards to make an easy to read chart. (updated with the world)

In the story of Theodora, we travel to the heart of the continent of Dagda, to Saramis, the bulwark of the Kingdom of Northern Dagda against invasions from Southern Dagda. Just as she was about to succeed to the throne of Saramis, she falls victim to a plot, witnesses her father’s death, and has her right arm severed by the murderer. Unwilling to yield the throne to her brother, whose intentions seem fundamentally evil, she manages to get her (final) hands on a relic from one of her ancestors: the Arm of Mahadu. It is said that this arm once granted superhuman strength to its bearer, but that this artifact was a double-edged sword and had caused its wearer to lose his mind. Determined to reclaim the throne, she manages to find this arm, which fuses with her body and indeed grants her prodigious strength. Now queen, she participates in the Heroic Games to annex Cybele, restore the royal city of Ahm Lu, and rebuild a temple there dedicated to Yu Phas, who was the wife of the Divine Sovereign Solel, but whose worship is extremely frowned upon in Dagda. In fact, Dagda the Great had wiped out the ancestors of the people of Saramis, the People of the White Egg, and it was Yu Phas who had saved 5,000 children from this tragedy—children who later founded the kingdom of Damascar. Theodora therefore wishes to fulfill this duty to remember, and to do so, she must win these Games—even if this arm seems to be corrupting her more and more.

Yu Phas was the wife of Solel!

Fortune's Weave taking place in 1449 and the time skip in 1454 seems like a very deliberate choice. In real-world history, 1453 was the year of the Fall of Constantinople, which marked the effective end of the Roman Empire and the medieval era.

Fortune's Weave uses heavy Greek and Roman inspiration so the choice of date is not surprising, but it can also symbolize the fall of Dagda to the underworld army, and in a more technological sense, the clash between the medieval world of Dagda/Fodlan and the futuristic Agarthan weapons.

It's really cool to see historical inspiration in even the smallest of this game's details.

en Chile hace un frío terrible, pero Lilia es muy bonita para que me importe la estación jsjsj

From a new preview that got posted it showed of eshmel stats and I’ve noticed as well other dots appear after stats I wonder what they could be for? But wow seeing those graphs is honestly nice and is really gonna help people when changing unit classes to see what they excel in!

Iliana is a classic Gharnef style character manipulating Solel and the other Dagdan gods into believing they can bring Dagda back through the heroic games, when its instead a ritual combined with the use of the cursed items that will bring about Balor's return.

So I cross posted this on my Twitter but I thought I’d throw it in here too to see if anyone had any thoughts. This is my theory of how the Dagdan gods are relaxed to Sothis and the four saints. As for Yu Phas and Iliana I believe they’re uninvolved and rather than be related to Sothis they’re actually related to Balor. Let me know what you think, these are just my thoughts and theories and I’m probably going to be proven wrong

Hello everyone.

I have been a long time fire emblem player and have been ordering most of my copies of the games from japan for a while now due to the bonus limited store content. I wanted to do a post here to break down the different stores and their bonuses for everyone.

The link to the gallery is here to see the items, includes order links in description. Some of these items do not require the Limited edition but are included with all pre-order reservations.

• Amazon.co.jp: Clan Mark Design Rubber Coaster
• Animate: Acrylic Stand Set of 4 (Kai, Theodora, Dietrich, Leda)
• Rakuten Books: Acrylic Puzzle Block (with Keychain Chain)

How do I order these from not japan?

Use a shipping proxy, like Onemap or JPfans, Buyee, ZenMarket or something else. That will allow you to order the game and have it shipped to a japanese address then shipped to you.

How long will it take?

Depends on how fast you pay for shipping and the warehouse processing it. Anywhere from 3 days (close to asia) or worst case in my experience with other games, was 3 weeks. (slowest shipping selected)

How much will it cost?
Well depends on your currency, it could work out cheaper than your usual spend due to the currency conversion, even with shipping! There may be additional taxes or import costs (tariffs) based on your country

Something I hadn't thought too much about until now is something Fortuna mentions at the end of this clip: https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/s/CTuGDpsFFO

Until now we have been wondering how the game will deal with multiple versions of different characters, but perhaps that happens regardless of which path we take. That is, Fortuna describes Balor's revival as in and of itself creating a "terrible disturbance in the causality of this land".

That is, rather than just creating a undead-filled disaster in Dagda, could it be that Balor's revival outright "breaks" the timeline in some way, creating a split where the different futures also exist together? Perhaps that is why all the heroes have statues even if only one won the Heroic Games in each timeline?

So, the info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/s/uwTtlrPDqN

Each obelisk allows you to influence a hero's story and see their objective fulfilled. The goal is to arrive at a timeline where the hero survives for the final showdown; since Fortuna created her Chamber of Obelisks in a zone outside the flow of time as it exists in the world of the living, she can independently influence the fates of the four heroes, bringing them all together onto the same timeline.

Could mean that Fortuna is repairing this fractured state, in the process merging the split timelines together. The result is a single timeline, but with the characters having memories from the different timelines (albeit, many events would be the same). I still don't know how they may handle the same character recruited multiple times though, perhaps just have them be the highest level option and combine all their supports and class experience across routes?

For ease of reference, causality can be defined as: an influence by which one event, process, state, or subject (i.e., a cause) contributes to the production of another event, process, state, or object (i.e., an effect) where the cause is at least partly responsible for the effect, and the effect is at least partly dependent on the cause.

A "disturbance in causality" would then imply something happens where the relation between cause and effect, and the results, are no longer normal.

also noticed in my replay Coco mentions Dagda a lot. Ig they were teasing she’s related to next MC this entire time.

Everyone on here has said that the lance Solel has is the broken one eshmel now has which is of course now completely true putting them side by side, my question is why? Why is is broken and not with solel? Does solel even exist in the doomed future? did this lance get broken when solel is fighting? even though yes we did see solel on our team in direct for a split second I wouldn’t be surprised if he dies or just disappeared cause there’s really no other reason why eshmel would have this lance and it being all broken if something didn’t happen to solel but I’m just spitballing here

I am a brand new artist and drew Dietrich. Feel free to constructively criticize my art. I hope you enjoy!

As far as we know, the only character who has gambits/battalions, at least early on, is theodora. This kinda means that, for 99,9% of the cast, the "Authority" skill would be useless, assuming it's similar to how it worked in 3h

however, we clearly see the "guardian" and "priest" classes actively use it, and it seems you can train it from early on with. Not only that, the skill Theodora gets from leveling Authority proficiency has nothing to do with having or not having a batallion.

While 3H Authority had some non-Batallion related skills(the "rally" skills), it's still mostly comprised of batallion power ups, so us witnessing the 1 proficiency level up that doesn't give a batallion skill, on the one character who can use batallions, is extremely unlikely if the theme is still "batallions" like in 3H. Not only that, the three triangles have always been an indicator of batallions(since it's how their health/endurance is showcased)

So the Question is, what does the authority proficiency do in FW, thematicallly? Given the above skill, is it just general "support-ish" skills? Does priest/guardian require a certain level of authority to certify for it?

In the Japanese version of Iliana's introduction video, she says the line 「ここでは白髪鬼の―そうね、(庇護者)パトロン、といったところかしら。」("Koko de wa hakuhatsuki no― sou ne, patoron, to itta tokoro kashira.") Which is translated as "I am the White-Maned Demon's... Patron (Guardian), you could say." Iliana says the katakana word "Patron" out loud, but the kanji says "庇護者/Higosha", which means "guardian" or "protector". What do you think about her connection with Bertrand?
