Type Sword Wielder(s) Baldr* Byron Sigurd Seliph First game Genealogy of the Holy War

Tyrfing (Japanese: ティルフィング Tyrhung), often referred to in dialogue as the sacred sword Tyrfing (Japanese: 聖剣ティルフィング holy sword Tyrhung), is a regalia sword introduced in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. It is the holy weapon once wielded by Baldr of the Twelve Crusaders, bestowed upon him at the Miracle of Dahna after his blood pact with a dragon. The blade is the property of Baldr's descendants, the heirs of Grannvale's House Chalphy, and can only be wielded by those in possession of major Baldr Holy Blood.

History

Bestowed upon Baldr by an unidentified dragon at the Miracle of Dahna, Tyrfing was used by Baldr in the Holy War to put an end to Loptous and his empire alongside the rest of the 12 Crusaders. Following the downfall of the Loptrian Empire, Baldr founded Chalphy in Grannvale, and the sword was passed down through each succeeding Duke of the duchy. In Grann 757, at the onset of Grannvale's war with Isaach, the then duke of Chalphy, Byron, took the blade with him and used it in the war. It was broken after his betrayal by Reptor and Lombard; though badly wounded, Byron nonetheless eluded capture to bring the weapon's remains to his son Sigurd, dying after handing it over. Sigurd had the remains repaired, then used the blade in his confrontation with Lombard, Reptor and Andrey. After Sigurd's death in the Battle of Belhalla, his killer Lord Arvis took possession of Tyrfing, where it remained unused for seventeen years.

As Seliph's liberation army made its way through the Miletos district, Arvis arrived at Chalphy and entrusted the blade to its Bishop Palmarch, encouraging him to flee with children captured by the empire. Seliph's army soon rescued Palmarch's group as they fled to the north, and Palmarch passed Tyrfing on to Seliph, who then used it in the final confrontation with the Grannvale Empire and its Prince Julius.

Fire Emblem Cipher

Tyrfing is present as two different skills on two cards in Fire Emblem Cipher:

• Sigurd (B06-001SR The Warrior of Light's Heir) possesses Sacred Sword Tyrfing, which enhances his power if his player currently has at least eight bond cards. If so, Sigurd gains a 10-point boost to his attack power, and if he attacks defeats the opponent's lord, two of the opponent's orbs are destroyed instead of one.
• Seliph (B08-051SR Savior of Light) possesses Radiant Tyrfing, which gives a boost of 10 points to the attack power of all of his allies during their turn if his player currently has at least three face-up Jugdral-affiliation bond card.

Trivia

• Tyrfing's English name was leaked in the source code of the Awakening official website's page on SpotPass when it was updated on February 4, long before the sword itself was available in the game.
• Tyrfing bears a strong resemblance to Falchion in its design from Genealogy of the Holy War and Heroes (matching Falchion's original design).
  • Concept notes in The Art of Fire Emblem Awakening confirm this is intentional; the Awakening redesign is also intended to parallel the Awakening redesign of Falchion.
