“	May the blessings of Mila above be with you...	”	— Nomah

Nomah (Japanese: ノーマ Norma) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Gaiden. He is Celica's mentor and protector. He resides at Novis Monastery, performing the duties of a priest of Mila.

Fire Emblem Gaiden

Role

Nomah appears early in the game, despite this he is the very last character to join Celica's group. This makes him Celica's lategame pre-promoted magic user, though he is not particularly strong.

Nomah is the guardian of Celica. Celica was put under his care by Mycen after Dozer murdered the Zofian royal family. Nomah dislikes that Celica wants to travel to the temple of Mila, as the Zofian government has ceased to perform its protective duties and monsters have begun to appear, but allows her to go in the end. Nomah is aware of Celica's status as princess of Zofia, and does not want the bloodline to be lost.

Nomah's worries end up getting to him, so he follows Celica on her travels, though not quite able to catch up. He eventually arrives at the temple of Mila, Celica's destination, but ends up falling into a part of the temple that controls the flow of water. Celica finds him down there, and he is somewhat embarrassed to have been the one ending up in such a foolish situation. He laughs it off, and joins Celica on the last stretch of her journey, through Rigel.

Skill set

Like all male bonus units in Awakening, Nomah has access to all base class and advanced class skills available to standard male units.

Personality and character

As with many characters in Gaiden, Nomah does not have particularly detailed characterization. Nomah's most evident trait is his devotion to his goddess, Mila. He often mentions her, wishing for her blessing on himself or others.

He clearly worries for Celica's safety, and even journeys out after her.

Ending

Gaiden

He became the high priest of the unified faiths of Mila and Duma.
