Eight Legends: Difference between revisions

The '''Eight Generals''' (八神将, ''Eight Divine Generals'') were eight powerful warriors who fought in [[The Scouring]] in [[Elibe]].  Late in the conflict, when the [[Divine Weapons]] were created to efficiently combat the [[dragon]]s, eight of the warriors judged to be the most powerful in the human forces were chosen to wield them; these eight came to be known as the "Eight Generals"<ref>{{Cite|'''Jahn:''' However, the humans soon found out about the [[Idenn|Demon Dragon]]. They concluded that their numbers alone would not be enough to defeat us. Therefore, they put their efforts into constructing powerful weapons that would pierce our scales. They are what you call the Divine Weapons.<br>'''Roy:''' That part is the same as our legends...<br>'''Jahn:''' The most powerful and potent were chosen out of the humans to wield their newly crafted weapons.|[[Jahn]] and [[Roy]]|Fuuin no Tsurugi}}</ref>.

Led by [[Hartmut]], the Generals travelled to the [[Dragon Temple]] in what would later become Bern and launched an assault upon it and its dragon occupants, wielding the Divine Weapons.  In this battle, the immense power of the Divine Weapons and of the dragons reacted to each other and caused the [[Ending Winter]], forcing the dragons to take [[Manakete]] form<ref>{{Cite|'''Jahn:''' They came and charged this temple. However, when the immense power of the weapons and our power clashed near Bern, something unexpected happened.<br>'''Roy:''' What happened?<br>'''Jahn:''' The laws of nature started to collapse. Snow began to fall in mid summer. Stars shone in the middle of day...<br>'''Roy:''' Is that the Ending Winter?|[[Jahn]] and [[Roy]]|Fuuin no Tsurugi}}</ref>.  Even with the dragons forced into the weaker forms and rendered helpless, the Generals nonetheless pressed the assault, mercilessly slaughtering the Manakete; [[Jahn]] was among these Manakete and escaped with only a deep wound inflicted by one of the Generals<ref>{{Cite|In the new order of nature, the human was the form that required the least amount of energy to transform into. The Eight Heroes mercilessly crushed us, helpless in our human form. I, too, suffered a deep wound.|[[Jahn]]|Fuuin no Tsurugi}}</ref>. When they ventured into the Temple, they found [[Idenn]] in Manakete form, who transformed into her [[Demon Dragon]] form and engaged them in battle; she was struck down by Hartmut wielding the [[Binding Blade]], which reacted to Hartmut's hesitance and failed to kill her.  Afterward, at Hartmut's insistence, the Generals created a temple in which to seal her away using the Binding Blade and [[Fire Emblem (item)|Fire Emblem]].
