Hermit's Tome

A reference to Niime, Hugh's grandmother, who is known as the Mountain Hermit. In Hugh's support conversation with Raigh in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, Raigh steals a Nosferatu tome from Hugh that belonged to Niime.[1][2] This tome is possibly in reference to that, since it is in Raigh's possession in Heroes.
