Prologue: Welcomes and information
Hello, all who are currently reading this! This is the opening page of what will be the storage place for all my liveblogs of the Fire Emblem series of games. In here, I will be updating chapter by chapter as I play through the games and hopefully make those updates as fun to read as possible!
The next page will be a Table of Contents, since this will eventually get fairly large, and it will make categorizing which games are being covered in which liveblog installments much easier.
Continue forth onto the next page, and hopefully enjoy your time reading!

...You'd think since they made this improved patch with all the silly/inconsistent name changes, they'd get around to translating the ending as well. This just seems...odd. I think there is a ending generator (as the ending changes based on various factors) on Serenes Forest's forums somewhere. It's pinned in their NES and SNES section, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
Well, I guess I will have to tell you what I was foreshadowing with the Naga/Heim thing: For all of the second gen, Levn was sharing bodies with Holsety. You see, Manfroy murdered Levn during the battle of Barhara, and Holsety revived him. It's a bit ambiguous as to where Levn stops and Holsety begins, but this explains his change in personality between generations.
Time For ....Trivia?: Some of the Dark Warlords have Holy Blood. When asked about this, Shouzou Kaga mentioned the possibility that they had stories of their own. We know that the Warlords are made from the corpses of fallen warriors but...who were these people before they were turned into Warlords? We may never know.

Alright, I'll get to looking for the ending generator thing, and then get to writing the final chapter for Genealogy.
Oh, so Naga/Heim is like Loptous/Julius, where the spirit of the weapons maker takes residence inside the body of the wielder? I see. But when does Manfloy kill Levin in the Battle of Barhara? I see what you mean about the personality change, though I had just brushed the change off as him feeling horrid for what happened at Barhara and Silesia following, and thus wanting to win the war as much as possible. It does explain why he's so harsh when speaking with Fee on Light and Dark though.
I didn't even check that. That's actually pretty cool, although now I'm curious as to who they were beforehand. Their German Number designation seems to fit with the German themed enemy troop names (Rot Ritter, Beige Ritter, Gelben Ritter, etc.), so I doubt those were their original names.

If I recall, there are various demos (you know, those videos that play if you dilly dally at the title screen?) The demos you start with are minor stuff, but once you beat the game you get spoiler stuff like Alvis killing Sigurd, Yurius killing Diadora, Manfroy killing Levn, and Holsety reviving Levn. As for when, I always presumed either Manfroy personally killed him during the battle, or he slipped away but was tracked down and killed by Manfroy shortly after. Within the general timeframe though.
The Dark Warlords are always named after the first twelve German numbers, so no, those aren't their birth names.

Oh, those show that? That's kinda cool actually, although including important information in title screen demos seems rather odd.
Ah I see, well regardless, I wouldn't mind learning more about them and how they came to be Loptous's servants.
