|
|
Eldigan, the Lionheart (Japanese: 獅子王エルトシャン Eltshan the Lion King) is the third chapter of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. After six months of negotiations between Agustria and the occupying forces of Grannvale, Chagall decides to launch an attack on Castle Agusti in an attempt to reclaim it from Sigurd, and the Orgahil pirates take advantage of the chaos to raid villages.
Plot
- Main article: Eldigan, the Lionheart/Script
After six months of Grannvale administration in the southern half of Agustria, the citizens are fed up with governance from Belhalla, and so is King Chagall. Chagall raises an army in Madino, his temporary capital, and tries to retake Agusti from Sigurd, who had made it his temporary residence. The pirates of Orgahil take advantage of the situation and raid northern villages against the wishes of Brigid, who is among them. Sigurd successfully defends Agusti and launches a counterattack, which ends with him conquering Madino and clashing with Eldigan's Cross Knights against his wishes. Eldigan is either slain in battle or slain pleading to his king to stop the war, then Sigurd seizes Sylvale and Orgahil, thus conquering the entirety of Agustria and beyond. During the battle, Claud of Edda and his companion Tailtiu join Sigurd's army, as does Brigid, who is revealed to be the long-lost twin sister of Edain.

Castle Madino
Eldigan
Castle Sylvale
Brigid, Claude, and Tailtiu
Castle Orgahil
Quan, Ethlyn, and Finn leaving
Note that this is the final chapter of the first generation in which Quan, Ethlyn, and Finn are playable. Before seizing Orgahil Castle, check their inventories to see if there are any desirable items you either want them to keep or if you still need them for your other units. Once the next chapter starts, all three of them will automatically leave Sigurd's party and take whatever items they have with them; Quan and Ethlyn will pass their inventories on to their children Altena and Leif, respectively.
Finn's case is more complex compared to Quan and Ethlyn; unlike every other unit in the first generation, Finn is the only one who is also playable in the second generation. As a result, he will retain his level and stats when he reappears in Chapter 7. Provided he's not married, he will also keep whatever weapons and items he has on him, otherwise he will only have a single Iron Lance due to the inheritance system forcing him to relinquish his inventory to his son (daughter, if he married Brigid). If Finn has been trained and used regularly since the prologue, it is recommended to try and have him promoted into a Duke Knight before the end of this chapter. This is because in his join chapter of the second generation, he will be placed in a situation where he needs to defend Leif and Nanna/Jeanne—two units who do not have the bulk to survive an extended enemy phase—for a significant portion of the chapter until Seliph's army reunites with the trio; prior to that point, Finn needs to rely on his raw stats and whatever he has on hand to prevail, especially if he loses his inventory.
