Elibe

The Lycian League, commonly known as Lycia (Japanese: リキア Lycia), is one of the countries of Elibe appearing in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. Located in the center of Elibe, it shares borders with Etruria, Ilia, Sacae and Bern. Lycia was founded by Roland, one of the Eight Legends.

Known leaders of Lycia are Roland, after The Scouring; Uther, in Fire Emblem; Hector, after Fire Emblem; Eliwood, in The Binding Blade, and Lilina, after the events of The Binding Blade.

History

For more context see the timeline of Elibe.

Founding

Lycia was founded after the Scouring by the hero Roland. Eventually, Lycia became the third most prominent country on Elibe, behind the second, Etruria, and the most powerful, Bern.

Lycia's makeup of many houses has led to many imbalances of power over the years.

Darin's Lycian rebellion plot

One of the more prominent plots, though this one did not break out into a full blown rebellion.

In 980, or possibly somewhat earlier, Nergal set his sights on Lycia as a possible source of quintessence. Nergal, using his Black Fang and other political infiltrations, contacts several Lycian lords with the idea of a rebellion to overthrow Ostia.

Ephidel, one of Nergal's morph servants, contacts Darin, the marquess of Laus at the time, whom takes the offer readily. Darin and the Laus forces at his disposal become a valuable piece to instigating a rebellion in the region. Helman is also known to have agreed to the plot, and was also in contact with Ephidel. Elbert also involves himself, though it is likely he involved himself to nip the rebellion plot at the bud, rather than join it. Helman is killed by Ephidel after expressing doubts about the rebellion, and Elbert ends up kidnapped and confined on Valor.

Elbert's son, Eliwood, is concerned by the disappearance of his father. Eliwood leaves Pherae in search of his father, which eventually leads him to Valor. At Valor Eliwood and his friends Hector and Lyn kill Darin, ending the Lycian rebellion plot. Unfortunately, Elbert is killed by Nergal, whom flees after being injured. With the death of Darin the rebellion is over, and Nergal moves on to other endeavors.

It is unknown how the rest of Lycia takes Darin's disappearance, as the rebellion plot had not yet erupted into widespread armed conflict, but this short-lived rebellion resulted in the death of at least three marquesses.

Disturbance of Bern

Main article: Disturbance of Bern

Lycians played a key role during the Disturbance of Bern. Lycia as a country was also heavily affected by the conflict. During the war Lycia lost many of its lords, to Bern in an ambush. The massive loss of leadership caused instability in Lycia, with Ostia being forced to deal with yet another rebellion. This leads to the remaining Lycian leaders contacting Etruria for assistance.

After Bern is defeated, Lady Lilina of House Ostia becomes the queen of a unified Lycian League and changes its name to Kingdom of Lycia. The only explicitly named marquesses known to be alive when this happens are Eliwood[1] and Roy of House Pherae. If Roy has an A support with Lilina, he becomes King of Lycia.

Marches of Lycia

Lycia is composed of several small territories knows as marches. Each march is ruled by a house. House Ostia is the most powerful march, and its lord acts as a head figure for Lycia.

As mentioned above, after the Disturbance of Bern, many of the houses of Lycia lost prominent leaders and were unified under queen Lilina.

Araphen

Main article: Araphen

Araphen is the second most powerful march of Lycia, second to only Ostia. Only one ruler is known, and, frustratingly, his name is never given. Said ruler was alive in the year 979, though his status in the year 1000, during the Disturbance of Bern, is unknown.

Caelin

Main article: Caelin

Caelin is the homeland of Lyn. It ceased to exist as a march in the year 980, when Ostia assimilated Caelin. It's last true marquess was Hausen, Lyn's grandfather, as Lyn herself refused the throne. In 979 there was a murder plot against Hausen instigated by Lundgren for the throne, though it resulted in failure.

Cornwell

Main article: Cornwell

Cornwell is a march that lost its standing after stealing funds from the Lycian alliance. The marquess and his wife committed suicide shortly after abandoning their children as orphans so they would not face charges related to the theft.

Kathalet

Kathalet is a little featured march, Lyn passes through here in 979 and encounters the Black Fang attacking Ninian and Nils. Little is known of this march.

Laus

Main article: Laus

Laus features two known marquesses. Darin died in the year 980 at the hands of Eliwood's group in retaliation for the Lycian rebellion. His son, Erik, succeed the throne, and is marquess until the year 1000, where he is killed by Roy after siding with Bern.

Laus' two known leaders were not particularly liked by the populace.

Ostia

Main article: Ostia

Ostia is the head march of Lycia, and has three known leaders. Uther, Hector's elder brother, ascended the throne sometime in 979 or 980, but unfortunately died from illness very soon after his ascention, being marquess for possibly less than a year. Hector takes up the title in 980, and rules as marquess until his death in 1000. He is succeed by his daughter Lilina whom then unifies the marches into the kingdom of Lycia.

Ostia, alongside Pherae, plays a prominent role in both Darin's rebellion and the disturbance of Bern.

Pherae

Main article: Pherae

Pherae is is a prominent march plotwise, Eliwood hails from here. The oldest known marquess is lord Elbert, father of Eliwood. The duration of his reign is unknown, though his reign ended in the year 980 when he was killed by the madman Nergal. Eliwood takes the throne the same year, and his reign extends into the Disturbance of Bern, being one of the few Lycian marquesses not killed by the conflict.

Pherae, alongside Ostia, plays a prominent role in both Darin's rebellion and the disturbance of Bern.

Ryerde

Ryerde only appears on the Elibe's map, nothing is known about it.

Santaruz

Main article: Santaruz

Santaruz is one of the marches that participated in Darin's failed rebellion. It's marquess, lord Helman, died at the hands of Ephidel in 980. Hausen had his doubts, and wished to back out of the rebellion, but Ephidel thought him too deep in the plot to leave alive.

Helman is stated to have had no heirs.

Tania

Not to be confused with Tanya, a bow fighter from Thracia 776.

A march with very little story presence in any game and little information, the Fire Emblem: Hasha no Tsurugi character Tiena is from this march. Tania is one of the marches that agreed not to interfere with Caelin during the inheritance issues involving Lundgren and Hausen.[2]

Thria

Main article: Thria

Thria is a fairly, plot wise, minor march. It is somewhat notable as being ruled by a relative of Hector named Orun. Unfortunately, Orun is killed by his advisor Wagner in 1000.

Tsucana

A very little-known march, mentioned by Eliwood. Tuscana's only known action is refraining from interfering with Caelin's inheritance issues when Lyn appeared.[2]

Worde

Another, storywise, minor march that makes an appearance in Hasha no Tsurugi.
