“	But know this: I am no god. [...] So do sons of man name me. But I am no creator. I possess not the powers of making or unmaking.	”	— Naga

Naga (Japanese: ナーガ Naga) is a powerful divine dragon, and was once the King of the divine dragon clan which bears her name. She has historically played a strong role as an ally and defender of mankind in conflicts with earth dragons, and is worshipped as a god in the cultures of Archanea/Ylisse and Jugdral, and she is acknowledged in the lore of Valentia due to her connection to Mila, Duma, and Valentia's Falchion. Her Holy Blood is carried through generations of two dynasties – the Belhalla family of Grannvale, and the Ylisse royal family – and she is the creator of numerous holy weapons and items used and revered by mankind, including both the Archanean and Valentian Falchions, the Binding Shield, and the Book of Naga. Her daughter Tiki is also a prominent ally of the Hero-King Marth and his descendant Chrom.

Ancient Archanea

Naga presided over the divine dragon tribe at the end of the golden era of the dragons of Archanea, and willingly became a Manakete along with the majority of other dragons in order to survive the degeneration of the dragons. When the earth dragons turned feral and attacked the fledgling human population after refusing to become Manaketes, Naga led the divine dragons in a war against the earth dragon in order to protect mankind. The divine dragons emerged victorious from the war, and Naga sealed the earth dragons in the Dragon's Table using the Binding Shield, forged from one of her fangs. She entrusted the guardianship of the Table to Medeus, the sole earth dragon manakete.

Jugdral and the Miracle of Dahna

Unbeknownst to Naga, a single earth dragon escaped the war: Loptous, who had undergone blood rites with the bishop Gair, possessed him, traveled to Jugdral and there established the Loptrian Empire. 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 and Salamander, and with them travelled to Jugdral.

Naga and the eleven dragons descended upon Dahna Fortress, the last stronghold of the rebellion against the Loptrian Empire, in an event which came to be known as the Miracle of Dahna. Under the guise of a little girl, she underwent blood rites with Heim, transforming him into the leader of the Twelve Crusaders and granting him her power through their blood pact, in the form of Holy Blood and the Book of Naga, the tome channeling her power. Heim and the Book of Naga would prove to be crucial in the defeat of Loptous and his then-present host, Gair XVII, with her power being the only hope of truly piercing that of Loptous. Naga's holy blood was passed on through the descendants of Heim, the ruling Belhalla dynasty of Grannvale.

"Death"

In order to grant humans a way to protect themselves from other dragons who wish them harm, Naga forged Falchion from another of her fangs. She placed Falchion and the Binding Shield in the Fane of Raman, put her infant daughter Tiki to sleep in the Ice Dragon Temple, and commanded Gotoh and the other manaketes to observe and protect humanity. With these last acts accomplished, Naga "died", with the location of her death said to be Thabes.

Thousands of years after her "death", near the conclusion of the War of Heroes, 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

At the height of Grima's first reign of terror, Naga was awakened by an unnamed man descended from Marth through the rite of Awakening. She conferred her power upon this man in a second blood pact, enabling him to defeat Grima and return him to slumber using 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, 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: "Exalted Falchion".

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.

Trivia

• Naga is referred to with the masculine pronoun 彼 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 form of a "little girl" during the Miracle of Dahna by Lewyn.
• The character Kurthnaga in Path of Radiance and 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: 光神) is shared with Baldr.
• Naga's title of "guardian deity" (Japanese: 守護神) 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 class from Mystery of the Emblem.
