History WMG / FireEmblem

** Besides, although we see that Kishuna has emotions, he never, ever speaks. Him not speaking was why Nergal cast him aside, believing him to be a failed test. That not speaking would have Renault think that Kishuna was emotionless as well, also rejecting him. [[YourMileageMayVary So for me at least]] this feels like Kishuna had emotions, [[AndIMustScream but could not express them for some reason]]

* This ''[[YourMileageMayVary could]]'' be confirmed - it's not shown on screen, but ROM-probing shows that [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything the game does load Harken's portrait data]] for that sequence in addition to that of whichever unit is visiting the village.

[[WMG: The Tactician from FE7 is one of the [[{{Warhammer40000}} lost Primarchs]]]]

** Jahn merely being a War Dragon would explain why he goes down as easily as the generic dragons, when Athos, Eliwood and Hector combined could just barely beat a single Fire Dragon already weakened by Ninian... My impression was that Divine Dragons could create War Dragons. But the Divine Dragons did not want to participate in the war against the humans, so they refused to help the Fire Dragons. (If we follow the theory that Nils and Ninian's world is Akaneia, then these Divine Dragons could be the same group that protected the humans against the Earth Dragons in FE3's backstory). So the Fire Dragons captured Idoun and destroyed her soul - not to give her the power to create War Dragons, but so she would follow their commands.
Jahn was created via the same method as the morphs, to be a commander of the war dragons/servant of the Fire Dragons. (Nergal first discovered how to manipulate quintessence from the dragons in Arcadia, so it's not such a stretch). After the Ending Winter, his job was to protect the Dark Dragon and wait for the age of the dragons to reappear. (The Fire Dragons may well have been wiped out, and like Idoun, Jahn is working on behalf of a long-dead master. Ironic...) When a human who had released the seal on Idoun, had some secondary source knowledge of the Scouring, and had a cynical viewpoint on humans appeared, Jahn fed him a story that would reinforce his view on humans.

[[WMG:There will be a sequel to Radiant Dawn.]]
Maybe 10 years after RD, after the only one who could bring stability to Tellius (Ike) has left for good, there will be another war. The plot will center around Micaiah and Soren (who has not left with Ike). Sanaki will be kidnapped/assassinated and Begnion will fall into chaos. To bring peace back again, Micaiah will use her birthright and take over as the Empress, although she still is queen of Daein. Soren on the other hand will by now have learned of his heritage and hangs around in Goldoa. Micaiah's dual-kingdom-rulership will lead to political tensions in Daein so that Soren instead claims rulership over it as Ashnard's son, finding many supporters in the ranks of Ashnard's former men as well as being backed by Goldoa. So Tellius will fall into a bloody war between Begnion, Goldoa and a divided Daein.
** They can't just RetCon an ending (Soren leaving) like that.
** No? Why? It's not like the ending is entirely canonical. It only happens if Soren and Ike share an A-Support. In other FE-Games, that would be the equivalent of marriage for the main char. They never made any of those entirely canon, except for certain cases. They could also say that Soren was about to leave with Ike but then somehow ended up staying for some reason, as to not entirely un-canonize the ending.
** According to Serenes Forest, Soren's A-Ending is, and I quote, "When peace had settled on the land, Soren packed lightly and set off with the only person he had ever trusted." Now, just because the person he set out with was never seen again, it doesn't mean Soren is ''also'' gone forever...very likely, yes, but it's certainly possible that he could leave Ike (or whatever's left of him) and return to Tellius on his own.
** Spoilers abound, but, actually, the more I think of it, it could work... considering Micaiah and Soren are both going to live a very long time - Sanaki too, maybe, although I'm not sure if she's also a Branded or just has laguz blood that's lying dormant. So it could be Sanaki gets assassinated, or instead dies of old age with no apparent heirs. And while Daein would probably not care about Ashnard's true heir a hundred years after Micaiah's been reigning, a Soren post-Ike would be more than a little crazy and powerful enough (at least in my games he could do it on his own!) to take over, especially if Micaiah's in Begnion at the time. And although most of the heroes (all the beorc ones) would be dead, the laguz would still be around and the conflict could escalate when they start choosing sides. I remember Nasir didn't think three years was long at all, so maybe a fondness for Ike would still motivate some to side with Soren even though they haven't seen him in 100 years?
** Adding on to that, Soren is King of Goldoa Kurthnaga's nephew, and if Almedha is still in Daein and prompts him, then Kurth will likely side with family. And we all know that King of Gallia Skrimir (Caineghis abdicates right after the war) would side with the little tactician that almost won the laguz war for him back in the day - after all, he makes clear to Micaiah that the only reason he respects her is because she's a vessel of a goddess, and after the war Yune disappears (I think, but everyone talks about living in a godless world...). So that leaves the Bird tribes, which could go either way - Tibarn is their leader and would probably side with Soren, again because of Soren's showing in the war or conversely because Ike was just that awesome, but Reyson might convince him to side with Micaiah out of respect for Sanaki, considering she was the one who gave them back Serenes. Naesala will probably betray whoever they decide anyway, so no one will ask him. Daein will be under Soren's command, Begnion under Micaiah's, and that leaves poor little Crimea, run by Elincia's child or grandchild (with Geoffrey, probably) to try being neutral. Again. (Geez, I've thought about this too much.)
** What about Stephan's new country?

Because it seems a tad bit too convenient to have another character with a holy weapon survive the exact same battle and have more or less the same symptoms later (the memory loss).

WMG/FireEmblemTellius

[[WMG:The "true rival" that the fortune-teller told Mia about in ''Path of Radiance'' is Lucia.]]
Despite Mia's assumptions that her rival will be male (natural, since all of her life she's heard people tell her that [[StayInTheKitchen women don't belong on the battlefield]]), nothing in the prophecy denotes the rival's gender. Bastian's comments when the Royal Knights first arrive on the scene in Chapter 23 suggest that all of them arrived on horseback, even the ones who don't normally battle on horseback, which would be more logical anyway because it's quicker, thus fulfilling the part about the rival "riding towards her"--and, of course, she wears white.
* You know, that actually does make a lot of sense! It's a shame that the game designers apparently never thought of the same thing, though, if the unused support data in [[http://serenesforest.net/general/unused.htm FE9]] and [[http://serenesforest.net/fe10/supportcut.html FE10]] is anything reliable. Lucia x Mia wasn't one of the options considered disappointingly enough. I bet their potential supports would have been hilariously like a [[GenderFlip genderflipped]] version of Oscar and [[UnknownRival Kieran]]'s supports...
* This Troper always thought it was Kieran that she was referring to. Horse + Sword (on Promotion) + White Cape (once he promotes) + the potentially [[UpToEleven Massive]] HamToHamCombat...

[[WMG: Ike dies at the end of Radiant Dawn.]]
Because he "Leaves Tellius and was never seen again" just like how my dog "went to go live on a farm".

[[WMG:Ike leaves Tellius for SuperSmashBrothers Brawl to find a worthy opponent.]]
In much the same way Link left Hyrule to play SoulCalibur II. Ike has yet to find a suitable opponent, though.
* One Problem: He loses all of his muscle and reverts back to his ranger class in Brawl.
** Actually, in Brawl, Ike clearly has Ragnell, and at the end of Radiant Dawn, the picture of Ike has him in his ranger outfit.
*** Yeah, he only became a lord because it was expected of him (in order to lead an army), so he could have very well regarded the later outfits the same way.

[[WMG: Soren sent Ike to SuperSmashBrothers Brawl.]]
No matter how you interpret Ike and Soren's relationship, you can't deny that Soren is very, very, clingy and loyal to Ike. Soren is also a Branded and will thus live a lot longer than Ike will - so with his devotion, where does that leave Soren when Ike dies? So Soren finds a way to cheat death by somehow discovering a way to keep Ike young or de-age him as necessary; if he can cling to the hope of finding a kid he met once years after the meeting, then he can do this. Also, Ike's ability to randomly conjure wind in his taunts was taught to him by Soren. There had to be some explanation for it.

[[WMG: Soren is NOT Ashnard's son]]
How can you prove fatherhood without a blood test anyway? And did you notice Soren doesn't look anything like Ashnard? No, Almedha had an affair with... Rhys' father! Plot twists!
* Doesn't Rhys look a little old for what would be 13 [[FireEmblemTellius PoR]] 16 (RD) at most? (have Pelleas fight Izuka in 4-5)
** I'm saying Soren is Rhys' half-brother, not Rhys is Ashnard's son.

[[WMG: Volke, from ''Path of Radiance'', is a Branded.]]
# Volke is impersonal, stays hidden in the shadows even if he's not doing his job, and refuses to even converse with somebody unless he gets something for doing so. While this could be because of his job, it does seem eerily similar to how Soren and Stefan do their tasks.
** Strengthened even further with statements that Micaiah had also been like this in the past.
# In ''Radiant Dawn'', while most of the support conversations have been reduced to generic openings and closings, some are a tad more personalized. For example, Soren says unique things to Volke that wouldn't be said to others, should they have a link. But, why can Soren do this? He could only bond with Ike & a fellow Branded in the last game.
# Wearing heavy clothing is a bad idea if you're an assassin, and previous FE assassins haven't even worn enough to cover their stomach. So, why would Volke wear those baggy, brown robes - unless he's hiding something?
# Remember what a legendary powerhouse Greil is. Also, remember how much MORE power he had when he held Lehran's Medallion and went berserk. If Volke was supposed to kill him if he ever entered this state again, then that would require a lot of power. Branded are known for having at least a little more skill than your regular humans...
* I could see him as a Raven or Cat Branded. Also, when it comes to Greil, the whole "Cut the tendons in his sword arm" was enough to get him killed by the Black Knight, [[spoiler: another Branded.]]
* But in practice, Yune points out ALL the other Branded characters even AMY in any way affiliated with the army, but not Volke. So I would say, no he's not branded, but Stefan is his son with Soan.
** The other branded were hanging around in plain sight though. Volke was off in the shadows as usual.

[[WMG: Devdan and Danved are not the same person.]]
Why would he lie?
* Supporting evidence: Danved doesn't gain any bonuses at all, ever, from a ''Path of Radiance'' save file. The obvious reason is that he and Devdan aren't the same person.
** [[http://serenesforest.net/fe10/transfer.html Actually, I'm pretty sure he does get the stat bonuses.]] Any stats that Devdan caps changes Danved's base stats, as far as I know, which seems to imply they're one and the same.
** Calill gets Largo's bonuses; does that mean that Calill is Largo?

[[WMG:''Danved'' is actually the original personality/birth name of the character, not Devdan.]]
The obvious assumption, based on the fact that Devdan was the first persona we met and that "Danved" (or rather, "Nadved", his Japanese name and a true SdrawkcabName for Devdan) was introduced in [=PoR=] as Devdan's apparently-imaginary friend, is that Devdan is the real person and that Danved is a character he created and then took on.
* However, Danved, while HotBlooded, seems to be of at least average intelligence, while Devdan is a DumbMuscle, GentleGiant type. An explanation for this is that at some point prior to ''Path of Radiance'', Danved suffered a blow to the head that caused a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concussion concussion]], and due to the temporary loss of brain function, the normally fiery warrior ended up taking on a new, more serene persona--the exact reverse of the usual, hence the backwards name. As he recovered, his original personality reemerged.

[[WMG: Ilyana has a tapeworm.]]
It would explain her BigEater habits and apparent anemia.

[[WMG: Ilyana is diabetic.]]
To quote Wikipedia: "The classical symptoms of diabetes are polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger)." When you get down to thinking about the rest of it, this is a very possible explanation.

[[WMG: Volke lives directly on money]]
As in he eats it, and drinks it.

[[WMG: Micaiah and Sothe are the parents of Zexion from Kingdom Hearts.]]
Or technically Ienzo. But think about it. Her weapon + his "emo" personality + her hair color + his hairstyle + her flair for magic and diplomacy + his rebellion = Zexion.

[[WMG: Amy is Zihark's daughter]]
He never gives us an exact time frame for when he broke up with his girlfriend. Amy appears to be between 5-7 in ''Radiant Dawn'', so she was almost certainly born before ''Path of Radiance''. Not being able to handle a forbidden relationship may just have been an excuse. If Zihark had gotten his girlfriend pregnant, she and her child would have had to hide from everyone, and she may have hidden it from Zihark to protect him.

[[WMG: Lucia is gay]]
She's very devoted to Elincia. She is very abrasive to Ike when they first meet. She supports three people in ''Path of Radiance''. Her C support with Illyana starts off with her saying, "Well, well... Look at this cute little thing." In her supports with Janaff, she scares him off by saying she'll need a chaperone on a date. In her A support with Bastian, she says he's "impossible to hate" and that she might consider reciprocating his feelings. "MIGHT." And then blows him off to attend Elincia.
* She and Bastian do have an affair if they have an A rank support in ''Radiant Dawn''. She could be bisexual.

[[WMG: Lehran's Medallion's exposure causes emotional repression to all but a chosen few]]
Why else would every single person in the army of Radiant Dawn be about as emotional as a pile of rocks. It also may repress brain activity somewhat, explaining how you can have units saying the exact same thing to each other every time they support in battle...
* Even if the characters didn't have much depth, they still show emotion. And most of them weren't ever anywhere near the medallion. Plus, since the medallion contains a god of chaos, shouldn't exposure make people ''more'' emotional?

[[WMG: Tauroneo is the Grandfather of Boyd, Rolf and Oscar]]
# In Path of Radiance Tauroneo mistakes Rolf for his Son, Tauroneo then goes on to explain how his son was injured in battle and crippled many years ago and that shortly after that his wife divorced him and moved to Crimea, where all of the brothers live.
# In both Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn it's heavily implied the three brothers' father was a cripple and/or extremely ill, this would tie in with the story of Tauroneo's son who was crippled on the battlefield and moved to Crimea.
# Tauroneo stating Rolf's resemblance to his son may have just been a throwaway line to get the support started but in the Fire Emblem series coincidences regarding mentioned family members are very rare.
# Tauroneo himself bears some what of a passing resemblance to Boyd especially in Radiant Dawn.
# I'm not sure but I also vaguely recall Boyd mentioning their family came from Daein in a Support or Base Convo in Path of Radiance or Radiant Dawn (Don't quote me though, like I said, very vague.)
# Considering how much [[DarkAndTroubledPast both Tauroneo and the three brothers have been through]] it wouldn't be the worst thing to see them find family somewhere in [[BadassCrew Ike's super powered army]].

[[WMG: Volke was Ashera's Lover]]
[[MemeticBadass Even]] [[MemeticSexgod The]] [[LoveableRogue Gods]] [[ScarfOfAsskicking Want]] [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Him.]]

[[WMG: Volke is a dark god.]]
Representing Greed and Violence. It's how he always shows up where he needs to be, and why his strength fluctuates so much- sometimes he's just not trying very hard. He just enjoys messing with people too much to see the world destroyed.
* Wait a minute. Didn't Greil cut the tendons in his sword arm because Volke was afraid of him? So, [=DarkGod!Volke=] possibly [[XanatosGambit caused Greil's death?]]

[[WMG: Haar is a shout out to Kakashi from Naruto.]]

Think about it. They're both missing eyes, are incredibly lazy, and can go from cool, calm and collected one moment, and deadly serious the next. They both usually have a very bored expression on their faces. Haar was one of the most respected leaders in Begnion's legion of Dracoknights, much like Kakashi is one of the most respected ninja in the Leaf Village. One of the reasons Haar joined Ike's army was to help and keep an eye on Jill, daughter of his late friend, General Shiharam. Kakashi received his Sharingan from his late friend, Obito Uchiha, and visits the memorial stone everyday in tribute. It could even be said that they both have somewhat similar hairstyles.

[[WMG: Tibarn fuses with his jacket when he shifts forms.]]

Well come on, his hair is Black and Wings Brown in Human form, everyone ELSES Fur/Feathers/Scales matches there hair colour yet Tibarn just randomly turns Green upon shifting, the only explanation is that the green comes from his jacket. How and why does he fuse with it? Hell I dunno.

[[WMG: Nephenee has epic IdiotHair]]
We're talking [[Manga/LuckyStar Konata]]-level epic IdiotHair, and she's embarrassed by it, which is why she never takes off her helmet.

[[WMG: Ike is Zelgius's son]]
In a game series wherein hair color denotes family relations, no one thought to wonder why Ike doesn't share his father's hair color. Indeed compare [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091115194161/fireemblem/images/c/cb/Greilmovie.jpg Greil]] to [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090516063809/fireemblem/images/8/84/Ike_fe10_lord.png Ike]] to [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090925102144/fireemblem/images/0/0c/ZelgiusFE10Portrait.png Zelgius]]. Uncanny isn't it. Note that by this train of logic Mist is Greil's daughter (and indeed does have his hair color) and Ike is her brother by adoption.
* Actually, if you take a look at [[http://serenesforest.net/media/fe9illust/l/Greil.jpg Greil's OA]] and [[http://serenesforest.net/media/fe10illust/l/L_Ike.jpg Ike's FE10 OA]] you'll see the resemblance between father and son more. On top of the fact that Ike resembles his mother and takes a different shade of her hairstyle.

[[WMG:Ranulf never left with Ike in their paired ending.]]
It only says that Ranulf set off on a journey after Skrimir was crowned. Knowing Ranulf's personality, it's quite possible that he left by himself to explore the world at the beat of his own drum.

** Spoilers abound, but, actually, the more I think of it, it could work... considering Micaiah and Soren are both going to live a very long time - Sanaki too, maybe, although I'm not sure if she's also a Branded or just has laguz blood that's lying dormant. So it could be Sanaki gets assassinated, or instead dies of old age with no apparent heirs. And while Daein would probably not care about Ashnard's true heir a hundred years after Micaiah's been reigning, a Soren post-Ike would be more than a little crazy and powerful enough (at least in my games he could do it on his own!) to take over, especially if Micaiah's in Begnion at the time. And although most of the heroes (all the beorc ones) would be dead, the laguz would still be around and the conflict could escalate when they start chosing sides. I remember Nasir didn't think three years was long at all, so maybe a fondness for Ike would still motivate some to side with Soren even though they haven't seen him in 100 years?

Bramimond's name is another of the series' innumerable references to TheSongOfRoland. While such references don't necessarily have to bear any resemblance to their origins, it's worth noting that the original bearer of the name (which started out with an 'e' on the end of it) was the wife of the Saracen king.

Confirmed in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, the Laguz and Beorc evolved from scaly creatures into things which [[GeneticEngineering looked a lot more like their [[VainSorceress "goddess"]]. Why stop there? Who is to say we are looking at are humans in any of these games? 1:no game is on Earth, 2:strange phenotypes are always common and 3:silver hurts them more than iron and steel. Silver is not particularly dangerous to humans as far as metals go but many monsters hate silver.
