The Fire Emblem (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム Fire Emblem), also known as (Japanese: 封印の盾 Binding Shield), is a key item in the plots of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem Book 2, their respective remakes, and Fire Emblem Awakening. It was forged by the Divine Dragon ruler Naga to protect humanity from the Earth Dragons, and is later adopted by the kingdoms Archanea and Ylisse as a relic of the realm used to oppose the antagonistic dragons Medeus and Grima respectively. It is the first incarnation of the titular item of the Fire Emblem series, and so far the only one to appear as a usable item in a character's inventory.
Overview
History
The Binding Shield was originally forged in the year -740, Archanea calendar, at the conclusion of Naga's war with the earth dragons. After placing a magical seal upon the defeated earth dragons beneath the Dragon's Altar, she created the Binding Shield and its five orbs to fuel and maintain the seal indefinitely and prevent the earth dragons from escaping.[1] She enshrined it and the Falchion within the Fane of Raman, but around 730 years later, the Shield was stolen from the Fane by Adrah, then a mere thief. Adrah broke the five spheres from its surface and sold them to raise funds for his campaign to found his own kingdom, Archanea. He rechristened the shield as the "Fire Emblem", and adopted it as a treasure of House Archanea; unbeknownst to Adrah, his vandalism of the shield weakened the earth dragon seal.
In the subsequent centuries, the Emblem accrued a mythical role in the society of Archanea: it is bestowed by the nation's royalty upon a chosen hero who acts as the representative leader of Archanea's efforts to save the world from a dark force.[2] Two known hereos have borne the prestige of wielding it: Duke Cartas during the War of Liberation, having received it from Princess Artemis, and the Hero-King Marth of Altea during both the War of Shadows and the War of Heroes, having received it from Princess Nyna; both wielded it in opposition to the Shadow Dragon Medeus. During the War of Heroes, Marth recovered all five spheres and restored them to the Emblem, reforming the Binding Shield and re-establishing the seal over the Dragon's Table following his defeat of Medeus. In the war's conclusion the entirety of Archanea was united under Marth's rule, and both the Binding Shield and the Falchion were adopted as companion treasures of the realm.
Eventually, the Kingdom of Archanea became the smaller Halidom of Ylisse, still ruled by Marth's descendants, and the completed Binding Shield remained in their possession under the name "Fire Emblem". The Emblem was used by the first Exalt of Ylisse in the rite of Awakening, bestowing Naga's power upon him to combat the Fell Dragon Grima. Some time afterward, an unidentified event known as the Schism caused the Emblem to lose its gemstones again, with four of them being scattered across the various nations of the realm while one of them, Argent, remained affixed to the Emblem. Eventually, the Emblem was re-completed by Prince Chrom as he sought to prepare to oppose the revival of Grima by Validar of the Grimleal, during which time Validar briefly stole it to use for himself, and was used by Chrom to perform another Awakening for Naga.
Powers
The original purpose of the Binding Shield was to seal the earth dragons in the Dragon's Table, and so as long it remains intact, the seal upon the Earth Dragons remains intact; if even one sphere is removed from it, the seal is weakened. Additionally, its existence prevented manakete children such as Tiki from degenerating as all other dragons did, and the removal of the spheres inhibited this protection as well.[3] In its complete form, the Shield has a repelling effect against earth dragons escaped from imprisonment, banishing them. Additionally, in both of its forms the Emblem allows its bearer to open any treasure chest they desire.
In the era of Ylisse, the Fire Emblem is used primarily for the rite of Awakening, described by Emmeryn as saving the world at its hour of most desperate need. The Emblem is to be used in conjunction with a sacred site in which Naga's power is strongest - traditionally Mount Prism in Ylisse's east - in order to perform the Awakening, whereupon Naga would confer her power upon the worthy. Legends abound of its power among the nations of the era, one of which is attested by Gangrel to claim that the Emblem can be used to fulfil all of the wishes of an individual.[4]
Gameplay
First appearing as an actual, usable item in Mystery of the Emblem, the Fire Emblem grants Marth the ability to open treasure chests; in this regard, it acts as an infinite-usage Chest Key. When awakened as the Binding Shield in Mystery of the Emblem Book 2 and its remake, it also grants Marth the ability to banish Earth Dragons; in New Mystery of the Emblem, this ability is also accompanied by a +2 boost to every visible non-HP stat. The Binding Shield is also critical to the ending received by the player: if the player fails to obtain it at the appointed time, then the game ends there with the bad ending.
In all of its appearances as a usable item as well as its non-usable appearance in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Marth is the sole wielder of the Fire Emblem. Chrom, Marth's distant descendant, is the Fire Emblem's wielder in Awakening; however, he is unable to utilize it as a usable item.
The gemstones
The Emblem's power is dependent on the five gemstones which were embedded in it at the time of its forging. Each gemstone contains great power in and of itself, and the shield's powers depend on having all five mounted upon it. Finding the five gemstones and restoring the Emblem to its full power was central to both Marth and Chrom's quests.

Other appearances
Monster Hunter: Frontier G
In the Wii U version of Monster Hunter: Frontier G, the Fire Emblem is usable as a shield as part of the crossover promotion involving Chrom and Lucina armor sets. The Fire Emblem is paired with the Falchion (Chrom's)/Parallel Falchion (Lucina's) as part of a combined shield and single-handed sword set.
Trivia
- In Awakening, the Fire Emblem is wielded as a shield by Chrom in his Great Lord battle model. Its appearance changes depending on the game: the gemstones appear on it as they are obtained, and during the periods in which Chrom does not hold it, it is not present on his battle model at all.
