===Jugdral and the Miracle of Darna===
===Jugdral and the Miracle of Dahna===
Unbeknownst to Naga, a single earth dragon escaped the war: [[Loptyr (dragon)|Loptyr]], who had undergone blood rites with the bishop [[Galle (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Galle]], possessed him, traveled to [[Jugdral]] and there established [[Loptyr Empire|a malevolent empire]]. Nearly two hundred years after the Loptyr Empire's foundation, Naga learned of its existence and the role of Loptyr in its abuse of humanity. In response she recruited eleven other dragons, including [[Forseti (dragon)|Forseti]] and [[Salamand]], and with them travelled to Jugdral.

Nearly two hundred years after the Loptrian Empire's foundation, Naga learned of its existence and the role of Loptous in its abuse of humanity. In response she recruited eleven other dragons, including [[Forseti (character)|Forseti]] and [[Salamander]], and with them travelled to Jugdral.


Naga and the eleven dragons descended upon [[Darna]] Fortress, the last stronghold of the rebellion against the Loptyr Empire, in an event which came to be known as the [[Miracle of Darna]]. She underwent blood rites with [[Heim]], transforming him into the leader of the [[Twelve Crusaders]] and granting him her power through their blood bond, in the form of [[Holy Blood]] and the [[Naga (tome)|Book of Naga]], the tome channeling her power.

Thousands of years after her "death", [[Marth]] encountered a Manakete called [[Nagi]] who is strongly hinted to be some form of reincarnation or avatar of Naga; Nagi assisted Marth in the defeat of Medeus.

===Ylisse===
===Ylisse===
At the height of [[Grima (character)|Grima]]'s first reign of terror, Naga was awakened by [[Founder of Ylisse|an unnamed man descended from Marth]] through the rite of [[Awakening (rite)|Awakening]]. She conferred her power upon this man in a second blood bond, enabling him to defeat Grima and return him to slumber using the Falchion. This man went on to become the first Exalt of [[Ylisse]], and as with Heim's descendants, his descendants also bear Naga's Holy Blood as made manifest by the Brand of the Exalt present on all of their bodies.

One thousand years later, following Grima's revival by [[Validar]] of the [[Grimleal]], Naga's assistance was sought by [[Chrom]], descendant of Ylisse's founder and wielder of a Falchion whose divine power had faded (or possibly was sealed) with time. Using the [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Fire Emblem]], he performed the Awakening rite at [[Mount Prism]], and Naga provided both advice on Grima's downfall and granted her power to Chrom, restoring to Falchion the mighty power it had during the era of Marth, as well as the title it had during Marth's time: "{{hover|Exalted Falchion|Note: this term was translated as &quot;the divine blade Falchion&quot; in Shadow Dragon.}}".
 
In an alternate future in which Chrom was slain by the Grima-possessed [[Robin]] and Grima's reign became absolute, his daughter [[Lucina]] and the children of Chrom's allies sought Naga's assistance. She granted them passage to the past through the [[Outrealm Gate]], in order to avert the disastrous future; however, Grima caught wind and followed them back in time.

===Role===

* Naga's gender has historically been a subject of ambiguity and confusion. When [[Lewyn]] talks about her role in the [[Holy War]], he describes her as being male in older fan translations (in spite of the "little girl" guise she took during the Miracle of Darna) despite being possessed by [[Forseti (dragon)|Forseti]], who as someone who actually knew Naga would know better. This is, however, a mistranslation; she is referred to ambiguously by Lewyn in the Japanese text, thus his usage of male pronouns is a translation error. Her appearance in {{title|Awakening}} has her as distinctly female, and {{FE11}} suggests her to be female through [[Nagi]]. {{FE15}} establishes her to have been considered female by Valentia during the era of Marth, while referencing her title of Divine Dragon King via the [[Falchion (Valentia)|"Kingsfang"]], suggesting Archanea considers her to be a King, while acknowledging her as female. Thus, it seems to ultimately be the case that Naga has always consistently been considered female canonically, in spite of her status as a "King", according to both English and Japanese canon, with fan translation error muddling this fact.
* Naga is referred to with the masculine pronoun {{lang|ja|彼}} ''{{lang|ja-Latn|kare}}'' "he" in ''Mystery of the Emblem'', specifically in the legend shown over the tapestry in the game's opening, where Naga is described as an avatar of a god in the form of a giant. However, from ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' onward, Naga has been portrayed as female, described as taking the avatar form of a "little girl" during the Miracle of Dahna by [[Lewyn]], though gender neutral pronouns are still used to refer to Naga on most occasions in Japan.
* The character [[Kurthnaga]] in {{title|Path of Radiance}} and {{title|Radiant Dawn}} derives his name from both Naga herself and [[Kurth]], a bearer of Naga's [[Holy Blood]].

*Naga's title of "god of light" (Japanese: {{hover|光神|Kōjin}}) is shared with [[Baldr]]. [[Fjalar]] and [[Salamand]] similarly share the title of fire god, but Salamand was the dragon who blood bonded with Fjalar, but there is no such relationship between Baldr and Naga.
*Naga's title of "god of light" (Japanese: {{hl|光神|Kōjin}}) is shared with [[Baldr]].
*Naga's title of "guardian god" (Japanese: {{hover|守護神|Shugoshin}}) is shared with [[God#Minor gods|Salamander]] from ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', the god whom [[Mannu]] wishes to sacrifice the Archanean League to. Like Naga, Salamander shares his or her name with that of the dragon tribe he or she is associated with, so it is likely Salamander is the fire dragon king. It is also one of the two names of the unused [[Guardian (Mystery of the Emblem)|Guardian]] class from ''Mystery of the Emblem''.
*Naga's title of "guardian deity" (Japanese: {{hl|守護神|Shugoshin}}) is shared with [[Salamander]] from ''Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light'' in the Japanese version, the god whom [[Mannu]] wishes to sacrifice the Archanean League to. Like Naga, Salamander shares their name with that of the dragon tribe they are associated with, so it is likely Salamander is the fire dragon ruler. "Guardian deity" is also one of the two names of the unused [[Guardian (Mystery of the Emblem)|Guardian]] class from {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}.
