- This article is about the items. For game, see Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.
The Sacred Stones are five stones of much magical power, after which said game is named. While the stones never appear as usable items, nor do they have sprites, they play an integral part in the storyline.
Characteristics
The Sacred Stones' source of power is human will.[1] Every Sacred Stone holds magical power, presumably, the stones keep the monsters born in Darkling Woods at bay, as more and more stones are destroyed more awash in monster hordes Magvel becomes. Grado's Sacred Stone is special in the respect that it is the stone that houses the Demon King, Lyon speculated this was why that particular Sacred Stone was resopnsive to dark magic.[2]
While Lyon's experimentation with Grado's stone ended in tragedy, there were several impressive discoveries made. While the distinction between the Demon King's influence and the Stone's power is blurry, Lyon was able to reanimate corpses after his experiments, as demonstrated by Vigarde. Lyon was also able to perform incredible healing feats, healing a child that had been burned in a fire.[3]
History
Original conflict
Long ago, the legendary heroes used the Sacred Stones to seal away the soul of the Demon King. The five stones were then distributed to the rulers of what became the five great kingdoms of Magvel: Renais, Frelia, Jehanna, Rausten, and Grado. Each country hid its Sacred Stone in a secure location so that they would be protected should the Demon King ever again pose a threat to Magvel.
Magvel, year 802-803
Some time in the the year 802 Lyon created the Dark Stone by separating the Demon King from the Sacred Stone's holy elements. In a disastrous series of event Fomortiis and his new puppet-prince set off on a conquest to overwhelm the entirety of Magvel and snuff out every last Sacred Stone. The first stone destroyed was Grado's, Frelia and Jehanna's stones followed after. The Sacred Stones of Renais and Rausten remained safe, until Lyon took the stone from Eirika and Ephraim and destroyed it, leaving Rausten's stone the sole remainder. Rausten's stone was successful in sealing the Demon King once again.
Aftermath
After the War of the Stones only one Sacred stone, the stone of Rausten, remains on Magvel. While problematic, chances of the Demon King returning to complete power are low, as his true body was destroyed in the conflict. Curiously, the stone belongs to Rausten, but dialogue seems to imply the Rausten's stone ended up sealed within Renais.[4]
The Dark Stone
The Dark Stone was created before the events of the game. The Dark Stone is said to grant Lyon strange powers,[5] though its true nature is that of a vessel for the Demon King's soul in which his powers are not restrained. Through Lyon having the stone the Demon King has control over him. The Demon King is allowed to channel his power through Lyon, presumably giving Lyon some of his necromantic abilities.
Trivia
- In pre-release materials for The Sacred Stones there are images of monsters using a weapon called stone shard, the item remains in the final release, though unused.

not even healing staves were able to cure her injuries. But just a sliver of the stone’s power restored her life and healed her wounds. We saved that girl’s life, Ephraim! Oh, if you could have seen the tears of joy in her mother’s eyes!" — Lyon, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones - ↑ "That would be nice… But first we must seal this away… This stone banished the Demon King." — Eirika, in the ending talking to Ephraim in Renais, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
