It was introduced as an [[item]] in {{FE1}}, where in addition to having several unique effects of its own when held in a unit's [[inventory]], finding it was required as one of two components to create the [[Starlight]] [[tome]]. In {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}} and [[Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem|its remake]], one of [[Marth]]'s goals was to find the [[Astral Shards|twelve lost shards]] of the broken Starsphere to reassemble it. | ||

In [[Timeline of Archanea, Valentia and Jugdral|the year -10]], the Starsphere was separated from the Binding Shield by the thief [[Adrah]] and sold off to raise funds for his eventual conquest of the continent and foundation of the [[Archanea (country)|Kingdom of Archanea]]. Eventually, as part of his quest to recover the gemstones, [[Gotoh]] found the Starsphere,<ref>{{Cite|Gotoh scoured the lands searchin' for the shield, hopin' to get it back.

During the [[War of Shadows]], Gotoh commanded [[Marth]] of the Archanean League to bring him the Starsphere and Lightsphere so that he could create the [[Starlight]] tome, in order to allow Marth to defeat [[Gharnef]] and take [[Falchion]] back from him. After retrieving the two spheres from Raman, Marth gave them to Gotoh in a [[Macedon]] village, who used them to create Starlight. However, the force of Starlight's creation broke the Starsphere and caused it to shatter into [[Star Shards|twelve pieces]], which were scattered across Archanea.<ref name="wendell">{{Cite|You have seen the "Starsphere"–the holy orb with the twelve constellations etched on its surface.

The | The Starsphere is known by the name '''Azure''' in modern day Ylisse and Valm in {{FE13}}. Azure is given to the party by [[Tiki]] at the end of [[Naga's Voice|Chapter 16]]. In ''Awakening'', Azure is not an item that appears in any units inventory, and is simply a plot item, and is immediately placed into [[Chrom]]'s [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Fire Emblem]] upon acquisition. It has none of the uses or effects the Starsphere previously had. | ||

* According to Wendell, the Starsphere has the twelve constellations seen in the Archanean sky etched on its surface.<ref name="wendell" /> Judging by how its shards are all named for the real-life constellations of the Western Zodiac, and have these constellations depicted on their surfaces, this suggests that these twelve constellations all exist and are seen in Archanea as well. | * According to Wendell, the Starsphere has the twelve constellations seen in the Archanean sky etched on its surface.<ref name="wendell" /> Judging by how its shards are all named for the real-life constellations of the Western Zodiac, and have these constellations depicted on their surfaces, this suggests that these twelve constellations all exist and are seen in Archanea as well. | ||
* The colors of the Starsphere and Geosphere were swapped in the DS remakes; in {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}, the Starsphere is blue and the Geosphere is green, while the Geosphere is blue and the Starsphere is green in {{title|Shadow Dragon}} and {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}}. However, the [[Star Shards]] retain the original dull-blue color of the SNES version, and Awakening reverts their colors. Additionally, the [[Star Jacinth]] item from {{Title|Shadows of Valentia}}, which is very similar to the Starsphere, is blue. | * The colors of the Starsphere and Geosphere were swapped in the DS remakes; in {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}, the Starsphere is blue and the Geosphere is green, while the Geosphere is blue and the Starsphere is green in {{title|Shadow Dragon}} and {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}}.
