The fire dragons (Japanese: 火竜 fire dragon; 古の火竜 Ancient Fire Dragon in The Blazing Blade) are one of the dragon tribes of Archanea and Elibe. Fire dragons are the most commonly seen type of dragon in the series, and any manakete can take this form using a firestone.

History

Archanea

Millennia before the foundation of the Kingdom of Archanea, the dragons were the dominant race of the land, presiding over an enlightened and advanced civilization covering the entire continent. This changed one thousand years before Archanea's formation, as the dragons began to show signs of deterioration. When the Divine Dragon elders recommended that dragons seal their power into dragonstones and take a human form to ensure their survival, the majority of fire dragons presumably complied, among them Bantu. Some fire dragons either failed to comply or refused and thus degenerated into wild beasts as predicted; most of these fire dragons tended to dwell near the Flame Barrel, awaiting their death, thus earning the location the nickname "fire dragon boneyard".[1]

A number of fire dragons also found their way to the lower floors of the Thabes Labyrinth, where they were encountered by a party led by Alm and Celica.

Elibe

Fire dragons also once lived on Elibe in the era preceding the Scouring, with Jahn being one of their number; the artificial War Dragons created by Idunn were all fire dragon manaketes as well. As with their fellow dragons, they were ultimately banished from Elibe through the Dragon's Gate and were forced to seek refuge elsewhere at the Scouring's conclusion; however, 980 years (Elibe time) after the Scouring, four total fire dragons were summoned by the sorcerer Nergal through the Dragon's Gate to blight Elibe; the first one failed to make the full crossing and was destroyed by the gate; the next three were summoned after Nergal's death as revenge for his defeat. Two of the latter were killed by the ice dragon Ninian, while the third was confronted and eventually slain by Eliwood, Hector, Lyn, Athos and their allies.

Class data

The Fire Dragon exists as a separate class from the Manakete in Mystery of the Emblem, The Blazing Blade, New Mystery of the Emblem and Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, almost entirely exclusive to enemies. In Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Mystery of the Emblem, Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem, any playable or enemy Manaketes can temporarily become Fire Dragons in battle through the use of a Firestone; however, in Mystery of the Emblem, the Firestone is used from the items menu to transform a Manakete into a Fire Dragon both on the field and in battle for five turns, giving them access to Fire Breath.

In The Blazing Blade, the sole Fire Dragon in the game is an enemy: an unnamed dragon who acts as the boss of the Final Chapter.

In Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Fire Dragons appear exclusively in Act 6, in the depths of the Thabes Labyrinth. One Fire Dragon must be fought at the end of B5F in order to obtain the Sage's Shield, and gain access to the lowest floors of the dungeon. From B6F on, they may appear more commonly.
