Mercurius (Japanese: メリクル Mercury) is a regalia sword introduced in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. It is one of the Three Regalia of the holy kingdom of Archanea, known by the epithet "the spectral sword",[1] and is the sister weapon of Gradivus and Parthia. In its original appearance in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Mercurius was a personal weapon usable only by Marth, but from Mystery of the Emblem onward it lost this association and became available for use by any sword-wielding unit.
History
Along with Gradivus and Parthia, Mercurius was stolen from its unidentified origin by the thief Adrah, and was a valuable asset in his conquering of the land.[2] When Adrah formed the kingdom of Archanea, Mercurius was named one of its three Regalia, and was passed down through the generations of Archanean royalty.
Following the fall of Archanea at the onset of the War of Shadows, Mercurius was stolen by the army of Grust. Late in the war, when Minerva of the Whitewings allies with Marth's liberation army, her subordinate Est heard of Grust's possession of the sword and flew there to retrieve it from them, then gave the blade to Marth as she joined his forces at Chiasmir.[3] After the war, Mercurius was returned to the possession of House Archanea, and was given to Astram in his role as the captain of the newly-formed Archanean Free Company.[4] Astram continued to wield it in the intervening years and in the War of Heroes, taking it with him when he was convinced by Jeorge to defect to Marth's army in the face of Emperor Hardin's corruption.
