Located in the east side of Elibe, and sharing borders with [[Sacae]] and [[Lycia]], Bern is one of the two most powerful countries in the continent. It was founded by [[Hartmut]], one of the [[Eight Legends]], and is a monarchy. Its capital city is also called Bern. | |||
According to the maps, Bern's most prominent geographical feature are its mountains, which surround the coast of the country. The [[Shrine of Seals]] and the [[Dragon Sanctuary]] are located there. The Shrine of Seals is where two of the Divine Weapons, [[Apocalypse]] and the [[Binding Blade]], rest, and was also the home of [[Bramimond]] until his death, where he maintained the seal upon all the Divine Weapons. | |||

The Kingdom of Bern (Japanese: ベルン王国 Kingdom of Bern) is one of the countries of Elibe in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.

It was founded by Hartmut, one of the Eight Legends, and is a monarchy. Its capital city is also called Bern.
According to the maps, Bern's most prominent geographical feature are its mountains, which surround the coast of the country. The Shrine of Seals and the Dragon Sanctuary are located there. The Shrine of Seals is where two of the Divine Weapons, Apocalypse and the Binding Blade, rest, and was also the home of Bramimond until his death, where he maintained the seal upon all the Divine Weapons.
