'''Edain''' (Japanese: {{hl|エーディン|Ēdin}} ''Adean'') is a nun and noblewoman from [[Grannvale]]'s [[Yngvi]] dukedom, a descendant of the Crusader [[Ullr]], the daughter of Lord [[Ring]] and the sister of [[Brigid]] and [[Andrey]]. While the bulk of Grannvale's army was off to war in [[Isaach]], [[Verdane]] launched a small-scale invasion, successfully seizing Castle Yngvi and kidnapping Edain, with the kingdom's Prince [[Munnir]] taking her back to Verdane. While her childhood friend [[Sigurd]] led his few remaining knights into Verdane to rescue her, she was released from their imprisonment by Prince [[Jamke]] to travel to meet up with Sigurd's forces, with which she remains throughout Sigurd's troubles with Grannvale until the [[Battle of Belhalla]], which she survived. | '''Edain''' (Japanese: {{hl|エーディン|Ēdin}} ''Adean'') is a nun and noblewoman from [[Grannvale]]'s [[Yngvi]] dukedom, a descendant of the Crusader [[Ullr]], the daughter of Lord [[Ring]] and the sister of [[Brigid]] and [[Andrey]].

==Biography== | |||
Despite their determination to protect Edain when the forces of Verdane surrounded Castle Yngvi, [[Midir]] and the other Yngvi knights fell to Prince [[Munnir]] and his army. Munnir took Edain with him back to Yngvi, mentioning to his subordinate [[Gerrard]] that he intended to marry her. Edain was imprisoned in Castle Marpha, Munnir's castle, awaiting his attention following the suppression of the invading [[Chalphy]] forces; during her imprisonment, she met [[Deirdre]] and told her about Sigurd.<ref>{{Cite|'''Sigurd:''' Er? You know who I am?<br>'''Deirdre:''' Yes, I met a woman here in the castle a little while ago named Edain.<br>'''Sigurd:''' Edain said something about me?<br>'''Deirdre:''' She did. You're just how I imagined you to be.|[[Sigurd]] and [[Deirdre]]|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref> Prince [[Jamke]] came to Marpha to free her, along with the arrested thief [[Dew]] at her request; he instructed the two to flee while he returned to the capital to attempt to persuade his father, King [[Batu]], to stop the conflict.<ref>{{Cite|'''Jamke:''' Edain, grab the kid and get out of here!

Now move it!<br>'''Edain:''' Prince Jamke, you're not joining us? <br>'''Jamke:''' No. I can't go against my father... even with all the mayhem my brothers are causing.

Upon reuniting with Sigurd, she refused his request to head back to Yngvi, determined to help others with her healing abilities. She mentioned that she was motivated to join the nunnery to help her find her lost twin sister [[Brigid]] and give her, the major-blooded descendant of [[Ullr]], the [[Yewfelle]] to wield. The two did indeed eventually reunite [[Eldigan, the Lionheart|during the fight with the pirates of Orgahil]] which Brigid had led until very recently; while Brigid initially disbelieved her, Edain confirmed her identity by giving her the Yewfelle and having her successfully attempt to use it.<ref>{{Cite|'''Edain:''' Hey, you're... Yes, I knew it! Brigid! I'm your sister, Edain! Please, try to remember!<br>'''Brigid:''' How come you know my name? ...Wow, you look just like me. ...Edain, you say?

Wow! Now that's a nice bow! Just draw it, right? Whoa! W, what is going on! Some strange power is bubbling up inside me. I... I have some recollection... Ah... my heart is burning... Edain. You are my sister, Edain!<br>'''Edain:''' Wonderful! You remember! That bow is the holy Yewfelle... It's been handed down through our family for generations. It is said that only one direct descendant of a crusader is able to handle their divine weapon. And in our family, that appears to be you! Now is that enough proof for you?|Edain and [[Brigid]]|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref> | |||
Edain was one of the few known survivors of the [[Battle of Belhalla]]. At some point after the battle, she travelled to [[Tirnanog]], a village in [[Isaach]], and became an abbess at its convent.<ref>{{cite|'''Lester:''' ...So where is mother now?<br>'''Lana:''' She's working at the convent in Tirnanog.<br>'''Lester:''' I see. Lana, we need to do our best out here for mother and our missing father.

===Analysis=== | |||
{{analysis}} | |||
====As a unit==== | |||
Edain joins the army in Chapter 1 of the first generation. Her only weapon rank is a B in staves, so while her base magic is high, she cannot fight until promotion. With a B rank in staves, she can use most staves in the game, such as [[Warp]] and [[Return (staff)|Return]]. After promotion, Edain can use every staff except [[Valkyrie (staff)|Valkyrie]]. Edain's primary issue is her very low movement; she can never keep up with the mounted units dominating ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', which makes it difficult for her to contribute. | |||
By repeatedly using Warp or Return to send a unit to the home castle while at the home castle, Edain can gain [[experience]] very quickly, and can reliably reach level 20 by the end of [[Crisis in Agustria|Chapter 2]]. Edain's promotion gives her a C rank in fire, thunder and wind magic, allowing her to fight; however, she has no skills and cannot use high-rank tomes, making her combat lackluster. Edain's promotion also increases her staff rank to A, but does not increase her movement, so she will continue to fall behind. | |||
Given her low movement, Edain's most significant use is to move units around the map with Warp. She will not be able to keep up with cavalry and her magic is so high that her [[Mend]] staff would likely fully heal an ally due to how it works in this game, so it's best to give it to [[Ethlyn]], who could make more use of it with her higher movement; she can use the [[Physic]] staff, but 10-range will likely not be enough later in a chapter, considering how low her movement is. If the player chooses to play slowly, Edain will be able to contribute much more, but in fast playthroughs, her usefulness is extremely limited. As such, it may be best to leave Edain inside the home castle so she can gain experience and have some use by Warping units who enter it. | |||
==Battle quotes== | ====As a mother==== | ||
{{Quote|Andrey... you' | Edain's most notable pairing options are [[Midir]], [[Jamke]], [[Claud]], and [[Azelle]]. Midir and Jamke will strengthen [[Lester]] at the cost of weakening [[Lana]], while the other two cripple Lester's offense for Lana's magic and staff utility. Midir and Jamke can both pass down bows and [[Accost]] to Lester, while Midir passes down [[Follow-Up]] and better skill and speed growths and Jamke passes down [[Adept]] and better growths in strength, HP, and luck. As Lester will not have Follow-Up without inheriting it or the [[Follow-Up Ring]], Midir will sire a stronger Lester, and as strong as Adept is, it does not stack with the Brave Bow, which will be Lester's main weapon with either pairing. The downside to Midir is that Edain's inferior movement means he will have to stay away from combat to build love points with her; Jamke does not have this problem, as he has much closer movement to Edain. | ||
Claud and Azelle significantly limit Lester's combat potential, but in return provide much earlier access to [[Rescue (staff)|Rescue]], which is otherwise inaccessible until [[Light and Dark|Chapter 10]]. Rescue can make traversing ''Genealogy''{{'}}s large maps much faster; additionally, there is [[Glitch#Rescue a guarding unit into the home castle|a glitch involving Rescue]] that allows a unit to have infinite turns. Azelle provides the Rescue staff in [[Dance in the Skies|Chapter 4]], but it cannot be inherited; Claud provides Rescue in [[Doorway to Destiny|Chapter 5]] (which in faster playthroughs can only be obtained by the end of the chapter), but a Lana fathered by Claud will have a high enough staff rank to inherit the Rescue staff. Claud also gives Lana the ability to use [[Fortify]]. | |||
