'''Pherae''' (Japanese: {{hl|フェレ|Fere}} ''Pherae'') is one of the marches of [[Lycia]] in {{FE6}} and {{FE7}}. Located in the southeast corner of Lycia, sharing its eastern border with [[Bern]], it is one of the best known marches. It is also bordered by the sea to the south and by [[Santaruz]] to the north and west.

According to ''The Blazing Blade'', Pherae has been at peace for a long time. It is shown to maintain a good relationship with the other members of the Lycian League, especially [[Ostia]] and Santaruz.

As seen in the maps, Pherae's landscape mostly features grass and some forests; it is also bordered by the sea to the south and some mountains to the east.

Most of the characters who come from this march use [[sword]]s, [[lance]]s or [[bow]]s, as they are part of the Pheraen army. The notable exceptions are [[Eleanora]], who is pictured as a [[bishop]] in-game, and [[Dart|Dan]], whose class is unknown.

Known rulers of Pherae are [[Elbert]] in ''The Blazing Blade'', [[Eliwood]] in ''The Binding Blade'', and [[Roy]] after the events of ''The Binding Blade''.
