It is situated to the east of the continent [[Valentia]]/[[Valm]], also existing in the same world as [[Jugdral]]. Archanea's history stretches across thousands of years, passing from an ancient dragon rule into the hands of countless human nations which have risen and fallen over the millennia, the most enduring of which is [[Archanea (country)|a mighty, holy kingdom]] which bears the continent's name as its own. | ||

Roughly four thousand years prior to the rise of [[Archanea ( | Roughly four thousand years prior to the rise of [[Archanea (country)|the human nation bearing the continent's name]], Archanea was dominated by an advanced and enlightened [[dragon]] civilization prior to the rise of humanity, one overseen by the wisdom of the [[divine dragon]]s. The dragon civilization reigned supreme and uncontested for at least three thousand years, until the species entered a period of decline: a mysterious wave of deteriorating health struck them, rendering them infertile and slowly driving them mad. In response, the dragonkin learned that the only way to survive the condition was to take the forms of humans, and so sought to convince all dragons to do so. While some refused to accept this and eventually devolved into mindless beasts, others accepted the word of the dragon elders and took human forms, thus becoming the first [[Manakete]]s.<ref>{{Cite|If you really wanna know... Tens of thousands of years ago, the dragon tribe settled down on this continent, and created a civilization. They possessed intellect and abilities far exceedin' those of humans. But suddenly, outta nowhere, their day of destruction came. At first, they couldn't bear children. Then they began to lose their minds, goin' berserk one after the next. The elders warned that the end of dragons as a species was approachin'. There was no longer any way to prevent it. However, there was one way they could survive: to discard their identities as dragons and live on as humans. The dragons fell into a panic. Those who believed the elders sealed their forms within stones and became humans. But those who couldn't throw away their pride as a dragon; those who adamantly refused to become human... They eventually lost their minds and became naught but beasts...|Xane|New Mystery of the Emblem}}</ref> 260 years afterward, the degenerated earth dragon clans engaged humanity in an aggressive war, only to be repelled and defeated by [[Naga]] and the divine dragons; at this war's conclusion the defeated earth dragons were sealed away by Naga in the [[Dragon Altar]] and remained there for millennia under the watch of one of their own kind, the Manakete [[Medeus]]. | ||

Human populations steadily increased as the dragonkin waned, giving rise to humanity as the dominant race of Archanea. | ||

Ninety-nine years after his original demise, Medeus was resurrected through the machinations of [[Gharnef]], a bitter sorcerer who soon came to be known as the Dark Pontifex.

At first, the marriage of Hardin and Nyna, and Hardin's new Archanean Empire, greatly accelerated the restoration process, but soon Hardin fell victim to Gharnef's machinations and was twisted into a malevolent ruler, waging holy war on the rest of Archanea. Having tricked Marth into leaving Altea to perform a mission for him, his army conquered Altea and pursued Marth, but were unable to catch him as he embarked on a long quest north for Gotoh: to gather the five gemstones and re-assemble the Fire Emblem back into the Binding Shield. On his return, he took back Altea and led a final assault on the Archanean capital, defeating Hardin, claiming [[Darksphere|the last gemstone]] and restoring the Shield, only to learn that while he had been distracted by Hardin, Gharnef had abducted Empress Nyna and three other priestesses for the purpose of resurrecting Medeus. On Gotoh's counsel, he traveled to the [[Dragon Altar]] in Dolhr, defeated Gharnef to reclaim the stolen Falchion, and slew Medeus a second time. | ||
