Nohr

This article is about the country from Fates. For the chapter, see Nohr (chapter).

Nohr (pronounced /⁠nɔɹ⁠/^[key]; Japanese: 暗夜王国 Kingdom of Anya) is a powerful "glory-seeking" kingdom present in Fire Emblem Fates. It is ruled by Garon. This kingdom has many qualities that are opposite to its counterpart, Hoshido. Hoshido is a peace loving kingdom, while Nohr thirsts for glory. Nohr also looks aesthetically different from Hoshido, Nohr's architecture resembles a European influence, instead of Hoshido's Japanese influence. Their color preferences also seem to be at odds, Hoshido generally features red and white colors, while Nohr has blue and black as their corresponding colors.

Mount Garou

A mount located in Nohr territory where the Wolfskin live. Corrin's army crosses through it in Birthright.

Woods of the Forlorn

The Woods of the Forlorn is a heavily forested area in central Nohr, where the thick canopy causes no light to enter the woods. The forest is - or was - also used as a graveyard to members of Nohr, as many graves can be spotted around the woods. According to Camilla, there is also a mansion within the woods, known to be "more terrifying" than the haunted mountain in the Boo Camp DLC. The woods also contain marsh puddles frequently around the forest, causing harm towards people not raised in Nohr.

In Birthright, Corrin's army head from the Ice Tribe village to the capital of Nohr - Windmire - with the quickest route being the Woods of the Forlorn. Whilst heading deep into the forest, they are ambushed by Leo and his retainers, by summoning Faceless and using the marsh to his advantage. Despite this, Corrin's Army were able to defeat Leo, and granted the army a Warp Book to warp once from the Woods of the Forlorn to Notre Sagesse.
