Fire Emblem The Binding Blade is a tactical role-playing video game developed by Intelligent Systems in 2002. A story about the land of Elibe with their ongoing war between between humanity and dragons. Take the role of Roy as he lead army against the forces of King Zephiel. The game takes place in the fictional continent of Elibe, which is split into five nations of diverse ruling styles: Lycia, Bern, Etruria, Sacae, and Ilia. There is an archipelago to the northwest called the Western Isles and is composed of Caldonia, Dia, and Fibernia. There is also a lone isle to the south of Lycia known as Valor and a desert peninsula called Missur to the southwest. Lycia is ruled by a collection of noble houses that include Ostia, Pherae, Thria, Laus, Worde, Khathelet, Araphen, Caelin, Ryerde, Santaruz, Tuscana, Tania, Badon, and formerly Cornwell. Each one is ruled by its own Marquess. Ostia, the most militarily powerful territory within Lycia, functions as the central ruling territory. This system of government, known as the Lycian League, was founded by the Champion Roland, one of the eight legendary heroes after the Scouring. The country is fighting a huge scale war with Bern. Bern is a monarchy notable for its powerful military, located in the southeast mountains of Elibe. It was founded after the Scouring by the Hero Hartmut, one of the eight legendary heroes. It is the only nation in all of Elibe that employs Wyvern Riders in its army. It was also the home of the Black Fang mercenary company. It is revealed in the game that King Desmond was killed by his son Zephiel after Desmond’s attempt to assassinate Zephiel failed. Etruria is the base of St. Elimine’s church. Most of the nation’s residents are naturally blonde; a trait passed down to them as descendents of Elimine, one of the eight legendary heroes. Saint Elimine herself founded Etruria after the Scouring, and her legacy continues to live on in her people. It is home to many sorcerers and monks that have spent their lives studying the magical arts. Sacae is a country of nomadic clans such as the Lorca, the Kutolah, and Djute that roam the land on horseback; Sacae is known for its vast fields and open plains. Most of the nation’s residents are naturally green-haired. It is the final resting place of Hanon, Sacae’s founder and one of the eight legendary heroes. It has no central government, but a number of clans that govern themselves. The mountains that separate Sacae from Bern house several bandit groups that lie in wait to prey upon unsuspecting Sacaeans. It is said that the people of Sacae are unable to ever be dishonest. Nabata is a massive desert covering the entire peninsula of Missur, the Nabata Desert is home to the hidden village of Arcadia. This oasis utopia is populated by both humans and dragons in harmony. The region was also home to the archsage Athos, one of the eight legendary heroes. The ruthless desert climate deters most travelers from visiting the region, serving as a perfect natural defense for Arcadia. Ilia has a snowy climate that hampers agricultural development, and as a result, the nation’s citizens commonly live mercenary lifestyles in order to survive. It is home to the renowned House of the Pegasus Knights. It was founded by the Great Knight Barigan, one of the eight legendary heroes, after The Scouring had ended. Ilia is located in the northeastern fraction of Elibe, and it is known for its beautiful pegasi that roam the lands freely. The Western Isles, located in the northwestern ocean, house several bandit groups. Durban the Berserker, one of the eight legendary heroes, founded the warrior clan here and retired here a while after The Scouring. It is currently run by the pirate clan, vicious warriors known for their brutal strength. Fibernia and Caledonia are the most important regions of the Western Isles. Valor, also known as the Dread Isle, is a small island that is feared by most seafarers. Covered in dense fog is the Dragon’s Gate, a mysterious portal to the realm of dragons. The Enigma Bramimond, one of the Eight Heroes, gained the power to best dragons in combat here by sacrificing his humanity; for this reason, the sprawling ruins of Valor are frequented by many practitioners of Dark magic.
