Astral Shards: Difference between revisions

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.
m (Ran into four shards in my run of the current DLC dungeon (and yes, Cancer was one of them), and a key discovery prompted 36 file moves, this edit, and a series of follow-up edits...)
(I was going to keep the current name chart, but space limitations turned ugly very quickly... https://i.imgur.com/u0I5kHB.png I compromised by flipping it around and cutting en-fan, span-la, and fren-ca. They most likely aren't different anyway.)

The '''star shards''' are a collection of twelve plot-important [[item]]s that appear in Book 2 of {{FE3}} and its [[Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]] remake, {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}}, as well as in {{title|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}.  They are the pieces of the broken [[Starsphere]], and in ''Mystery of the Emblem'' and ''New Mystery of the Emblem'', collecting all twelve to restore the Starsphere to its original state is one of [[Marth]]'s primary goals during the first part of the story.

All twelve star shards must be collected in order to assemble and obtain the Starsphere, at which point they will all be removed from the player's inventories. In ''Mystery of the Emblem'' and ''New Mystery of the Emblem'', if the player fails to obtain even one star shard, the Starsphere cannot be assembled in [[A Mystery Revealed|Chapter 14]], and as the Starsphere is necessary to obtain the [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Binding Shield]], this will eventually guarantee that the player gets the game's bad ending.
Before being restored into the Starsphere, the individual star shards each have an effect on the stats of a unit who holds them, with the effect being a fraction of what the complete Starsphere does in its respective game. In ''Mystery of the Emblem'' and ''Echoes'', the shards affect the [[growth rate]]s of units who [[Inventory|carry them]], with each giving a total 40% boost to growth rates distributed across one or several stats (or less in ''Echoes'' if [[resistance]] is involved). Some shards reduce one growth rate to allow for a much larger boost. In ''New Mystery of the Emblem'', the star shards give temporary boosts to the stats of units when held in a unit's inventory, with each shard giving a total +2 stat boost distributed across one or two stats. In both versions of ''Mystery'', the boosts stack with each other, allowing a single unit to have the stat benefits of multiple shards at the same time; this is not possible in ''Echoes'', since units are only able to carry one item at a time.

In ''New Mystery of the Emblem'', the star shards give temporary boosts the stats of units when held in a unit's inventory, with each shard giving a total +2 stat boost distributed across one or two stats.

In ''Echoes'', collecting star shards and assembling Starspheres out of them is the focus of the [[Downloadable content in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia|DLC]] episodes ''[[The Astral Temple]]'' and ''[[The Inner Sanctum]]'', and is unrelated to the main story.

==Etymology and other languages==
==Etymology and other languages==
===English and Japanese===
The twelve star shards are named after the twelve [[wikipedia:Constellation|constellations]]/[[wikipedia:Astrological sign|astrological sign]]s of the [[wikipedia:Zodiac|Zodiac]]. The English and Japanese versions use the Latin names of the signs, while other localizations use their native terms for them. In ''Mystery'' and ''New Mystery'', the matching constellations are depicted on the surfaces of the respective items.

The twelve star shards in New Mystery of the Emblem.

The star shards are a collection of twelve plot-important items that appear in Book 2 of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, its remake New Mystery of the Emblem, and Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. They are the pieces of the broken Starsphere, and in Mystery of the Emblem and New Mystery of the Emblem, collecting all twelve to restore the Starsphere to its original state is one of Marth's primary goals during the first part of the story.

Before being restored into the Starsphere, the individual star shards each have an effect on the stats of a unit who holds them, with the effect being a fraction of what the complete Starsphere does in its respective game. In Mystery of the Emblem and Echoes, the shards affect the growth rates of units who carry them, with each giving a total 40% boost to growth rates distributed across one or several stats (or less in Echoes if resistance is involved). Some shards reduce one growth rate to allow for a much larger boost. In New Mystery of the Emblem, the star shards give temporary boosts to the stats of units when held in a unit's inventory, with each shard giving a total +2 stat boost distributed across one or two stats. In both versions of Mystery, the boosts stack with each other, allowing a single unit to have the stat benefits of multiple shards at the same time; this is not possible in Echoes, since units are only able to carry one item at a time.

All twelve star shards must be collected in order to assemble and obtain the Starsphere, at which point they will all be removed from the player's inventories. In Mystery of the Emblem and New Mystery of the Emblem, if the player fails to obtain even one star shard, the Starsphere cannot be assembled in Chapter 14, and as the Starsphere is necessary to obtain the Binding Shield, this will eventually guarantee that the player gets the game's bad ending. In Echoes, collecting star shards and assembling Starspheres out of them is the focus of the DLC episodes The Astral Temple and The Inner Sanctum, and is unrelated to the main story.

History

The star shards were inadvertently created during the War of Shadows, when Gotoh used the Starsphere to forge the Starlight tome. The creation of Starlight put a great strain on the Starsphere and caused it to shatter into twelve pieces, which were blown away and scattered by the force of Starlight's creation.[1] After the war, Gotoh entrusted his disciple Wendell with searching Archanea to find all twelve shards so that the Starsphere could be restored, warning him that the world would fall to ruin without the restoration of the Starsphere.[2] During this mission, however, he was captured by Archanean soldiers serving Lang and held prisoner in Olbern Keep.

After Lang's defeat, Marth and the Altean army found and released Wendell, who told Marth of his mission. Marth, having already inadvertently collected a few shards himself, volunteered to help Wendell on his mission after sorting out the Archanean invasion of Altea. Though his plan was derailed when the arrival of Hardin forced his army to flee to Khadein, Marth continued to search for the shards after Gotoh instructed him to come to the Ice Dragon Temple. When he arrived, having collected all twelve on his voyage, Gotoh restored them into the Starsphere and entrusted it to Marth, intending the sphere to be restored to the Binding Shield once Marth found the other spheres.

Etymology and other languages

The twelve star shards are named after the twelve constellations/astrological signs of the Zodiac. The English and Japanese versions use the Latin names of the signs, while other localizations use their native terms for them. In Mystery and New Mystery, the matching constellations are depicted on the surfaces of the respective items.

References

  1. "You have seen the "Starsphere"–the holy orb with the twelve constellations etched on its surface. In order to pierce Gharnef's shadowy veil, Lord Gotoh created a sacred spell named "Starlight" from that orb. Unfortunately, the strain on the Starsphere was so severe that it shattered into twelve shards, which scattered into the sky." — Wendell, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
  2. "Lord Gotoh told me that this world has long been guarded by five orbs of mysterious arcane power, and that if even one of them is lost, the world will fall into irreparable ruin. By any means possible, we must gather the twelve star shards and restore the Starsphere." — Wendell, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
