Relic of a Bygone Age
Fire Emblem: Fate of Fódlan
After 7 years of conflict between Faerghus and Adrestia, the violence spurred on by the outbreak of war finally saw a reprieve. Tense negotiations were held in the neutral land of the Leicester Alliance, where pre-war boundaries were agreed to be respected. Despite this deep breath after so much bloodshed, the wounds of war bled long after the conflict was closed.
These wounds manifested in unrest among the ruling classes, particularly in the Empire of Adrestia. Emperor Edelgard and her cohorts were the victims of several plots, finally being ousted by House Aegir. In place of a new monarch, the nobles assembled a coalition of the most important Houses, creating a regency council that went from transient to a mainstay of Adrestian politics.
The Holy Kingdom would see no respite from these winds of change either, as tensions rose between the noble houses and the Church of Seiros. Discontent over entering in a lengthy war on the Church’s behalf with no reward in sight bubbled over in Faerghus. The Western Church fed these fires, slowly entrenching itself in Faerghus and severing the Church of Seiros’ influence in the Holy Kingdom.
The Western Church preached simple terms—the war against Adrestia was righteous and the sacrifices made in that monumental struggle were not to be forgotten. The Holy Kingdom and its people were owed a great debt, one which the Church of Seiros shied away from.
In the long decades that have passed, the Holy Kingdom has become militant, conquering the distant island nation of Albinea before turning its gaze onto the Northern hinterlands of Sreng.
To the East, the Leicester Alliance endured its own hardships—pushed into an aggressive war against Almyra, the Alliance marched Eastward, driven by the rhetoric of the Church of Seiros. In Almyra, the Khan made a mockery of the followers of the Church and the Archbishop practically forced the Alliance to put an end to this persecution.
And an end it was. The armies of the Alliance marched over the Throat of Fodlan, into the dry flat lands of Almyra.
Few survivors returned, only telling stories of an approaching horde, tens of thousands of men deep. The Alliance, ill prepared, broke at the news. Some tried to defend the forts alongside the Throat, others retreated inland. Almyra broke into Fodlan like an angry housewife, smashing its way through all opposition.
It took the combined forces of the Holy Kingdom & Adrestia to fend off the Almyrans, pushing them back into their native lands.
As the Alliance recovers, many nobles have made a startling realization—neither ‘ally’ has yet to leave their lands. Be it for the excuse of protection, enforcing laws, or to ensure the other nation doesn’t improperly conduct itself, these goliaths remain intact. Their very presence is an unspoken threat to the Alliance.
Now, 170 years after the Great War that raged across the continent, sparks arise deep in the hearts of nobles across the continent. Egos collide in the political battlefield that is the Alliance, each side knowing that defeat will lead to destruction.
