'''Falchion''' (Japanese: {{hover|ファルシオン|Farushion}} ''Falchion''), often referred to in dialogue as the '''Divine Falchion''' (Japanese: {{hover|聖剣ファルシオン|Seiken farushion}} ''Holy Sword Falchion''), and also known as the '''Kingsfang'''<!-- (Japanese: {{hover|ファルシオン|Farushion}} ''Falchion'')-->, is a [[regalia]] [[sword]] introduced in {{FE2}}. It was originally given to [[Duma]] by [[Naga]] upon his departure from [[Archanea (continent)|Archanea]], so that the people of [[Valentia]] would have a means to lay Duma and [[Mila]] to rest once they degenerated into madness, a fate faced by all dragons. Duma would later give the sword to Emperor [[Rudolf]] of [[Rigel]] in order to seal Mila away, setting into motion Rudolf's plan to free Valentia from the grip of the sibling gods once and for all.

In the ancient past, [[Duma]], a member of the [[Divine Dragon]] clan of [[Archanea (continent)|Archanea]], fought with the clan's ruler, [[Naga]]. Duma was defeated, and, alongside his sister [[Mila]], chose to depart Archanea. Naga knew that Mila and Duma would one day fall victim to the process of degeneration and become but mindless shadows of their true selves, a fate shared by all dragons, and so she chose to bestow one of her fangs upon Duma, in the form of Falchion, so that Duma and Mila's people would have a means to lay them to rest once they had degenerated.<ref>{{Cite|See well Falchion, which you now hold. It was carved from the fang of Naga, ruler of dragons, to sever the gods. For Naga knew there was but a creeping madness waiting at eternity's end. It is a ruin all dragons share. And the only end is one of total destruction. Thus it was that Naga bestowed Falchion upon Duma. She did so to prepare for the day our madness would drive the land to ruin, that the people might have a means to destroy us. That Falchion might become the fangs they lack... and the hope they deserve.|Mila|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia{{!}}Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> Duma and Mila left Archanea, eventually settling in [[Valentia]]. The two fought over how the people of Valentia should be treated, with Duma believing in forcing them to become strong through hardship, and Mila believing that they should be free to pursue lives of pleasure and comfort. Mila and Duma's long dispute ended with the formation of the Divine Accord, which split Valentia into [[Rigel]], ruled by Duma, and [[Zofia]], ruled by Mila, with Duma retaining possession of Falchion.

Centuries later, [[Rudolf]], the emperor of [[Rigel]], sought to end Mila and Duma's control over Valentia, having witnessed the descent of the Zofian people into hedonism, while his own people in Rigel knew only hardship and toil. He obtained Falchion from Duma, and used it to seal Mila away. Mila's corpse, with Falchion embedded in her skull, was brought to the [[Duma Temple]], which lay deep beneath Rigel Castle. Mila, knowing that the end was near for her and Duma, chose to seal Falchion away along with herself, hoping to prevent her brother from meeting the same fate.<ref>{{cite|And yet, in my foolishness, I sealed the blade away. I did it to protect my brother... I loved my brother, even as we loved mankind.|Mila|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia{{!}}Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> Rudolf then launched an invasion of Zofia, the next stage of his scheme.
