The Fire Emblem in Awakening with all five spheres in place.

“	There are many relics known as the Fire Emblem across the different worlds... Could this be coincidence?	”	— Marth

In most Fire Emblem series games, the Fire Emblem (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム Fire Emblem, or 炎の紋章 Fire Emblem) is an item or object central to the plot of the game, and is the namesake of the series as a whole. Each representation differs from each other, and typically each has a different name with "Fire Emblem" being another name applied to it.

Archanea/Ylisse

The Archanean Fire Emblem in New Mystery of the Emblem.

Main article: Fire Emblem (Archanean item)

In Archanea, the Binding Shield was renamed the "Fire Emblem" in its weakened, sphere-stripped form. Originally the seal placed upon the Earth Dragons by Naga, it was stolen from the Fane of Raman by Adrah and adopted as a national treasure of his new nation, Archanea. Its true name resumed use following its restoration by Marth, but changed by the era of Ylisse—in Japanese it is known as the Flame Pedestal (Japanese: 炎の台座); in localizations, it is known again as the Fire Emblem.

Valentia

Valentia does not have a Fire Emblem of its own; as it co-exists with Archanea, the Binding Shield is technically the Fire Emblem of Valentia.

Jugdral

In the game's ending, the inheritor of Velthomer (Azelle's child) mentions that the crest of Velthomer is also known as the "Fire Emblem" and, prior to the events of the game, was regarded as a symbol of justice.

Elibe

In Elibe, the Fire Emblem is a gem and one of the national treasures of Bern, kept under heavy guard. It serves two purposes: a functional purpose in unlocking the Binding Blade from the Shrine of Seals, and a ceremonial purpose in the coming-of-age ceremonies of members of the Bern royal family.

In The Binding Blade, the Fire Emblem was stolen by Guinivere as she fled Bern at the beginning of the Disturbance of Bern, as she travelled to Lycia to find a peaceful resolution to the war, and she later gave it to Roy to use to obtain the Binding Blade.

In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, as part of his plans to stop Prince Zephiel from having a legitimate path to ascending the throne, King Desmond had the Black Fang steal the Fire Emblem before Zephiel's coming-of-age ceremony. In response, Queen Hellene tasked Eliwood, Hector, Lyn, Louise, and Pent with its recovery from the Black Fang, in exchange for directions and free passage to the Shrine of Seals.

This Fire Emblem was not explicitly identified as being seen in the games themselves. In the opening of The Binding Blade, however, a crest of some kind appears in the opening sequence on the scene where the narration describes "a sacred emblem of burning light, born of flames..."; this same crest also appears on Roy's cape in the Super Smash Bros. series. This may be the Elibean Fire Emblem; however, the manga Fire Emblem: Hasha no Tsurugi depicts this Fire Emblem with a very different appearance.

Magvel

Lyon's experiments with the Fire Emblem turned it into the Dark Stone.

Main article: Sacred Stone (object)

The Sacred Stone of Grado, containing the soul of Fomortiis sealed within, is also referred to as the "Fire Emblem". Prior to the start of the game, its energy was studied by Grado's Prince Lyon and a team of mages. After his father Emperor Vigarde died, Lyon split the Fire Emblem into two parts: the Sacred Stone, and a Dark Stone containing the soul of the Demon King. Lyon revived his father with the Dark Stone, then destroyed the Sacred Stone. The Dark Stone corrupted him, leading him to command his resurrected father to start a war against Renais in order to destroy the other stones, which starts the conflict of the game.^{[citation needed]}

Tellius

Main article: Lehran's Medallion

In Tellius, the Fire Emblem is known as Lehran's Medallion and was created 800 years prior to Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn for the sole purpose of imprisoning the goddess of chaos, Yune. It was created by Lehran of the Heron tribe, and so for most of its history was kept by the Heron royal family, who had the ability to keep Yune calm through their Galdr. Additionally, Lehran and his decendents, the Apostles of Begnion, possessed the ability to sing the Galdr of Release to free her from the Medallion if necessary.

Hoshido and Nohr

Main article: Yato

In Fates, the Yato is known as the "Seal of Flames" in its Shadow and Blazing forms and the "Fire Emblem" in its Omega form. Two divine weapons unlock the Seal of Flames (Brynhildr and Siegfried in Conquest, the Fujin Yumi and Raijinto in Birthright) while all four unlock the Fire Emblem.

In Three Houses, the Fire Emblem is the flag bearing the Crest of Flames used by the Resistance Army in Silver Snow and Verdant Wind. This flag represents everyone joining forces to fight, even if it means putting their lives on the line.

Elyos

Main article: Alear

In Engage, after Alear sacrificed themselves to save Veyle from an attack by Sombron and a brief revival into a Corrupted, the twelve Emblems used their powers to resurrect Alear as the thirteenth Emblem, the Connector, known simply as the "Fire Emblem". Their Emblem Ring is the same ring given to them by Lumera on their Birthday. As an Emblem, Alear's hair and eyes are completely blue, and unlike other Emblems, has a physical body.

In game, they will only engage if they are adjacent to an ally. They also have an unusual way of leveling up their bond, as it only increases if they unlock a support level with another ally.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE

In Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE, the "Opera of Light: Fire Emblem" is a performance that can summon the Divine Dragon's power. Written as a theater piece, it tells the story of the heroes who rose up against the Shadow Dragon in the Mirages' original world. Only those capable of saving the world are able to perform the Opera. It acts as a counter-ritual to the Opera of Shadows, which was used to revive the Shadow Dragon five years prior to the story.

Aytolis and Gristonne

Main article: Shield of Flames

In Fire Emblem Warriors, the Fire Emblem is an item from Aytolis; it is nearly identical to the Binding Shield from Archanea, containing five orbs that are called Gleamstones and an image of a dragon in the center. It is known as the Shield of Flames (Japanese: 炎の盾 Shield of Flames).
