[slumberinglabyrinth]

I started drafting this like. over three years ago? Lol.

Anyway, I had seen some tweets a while back about how Giffca and Skrimir would be difficult to add to the gacha because powercreep dictates new units strong but Gallian culture dictates the king (in this case, it's supposed to still be Caineghis) is the strongest, and god forbid heroes be lore-inaccurate.

Putting aside established canon, since they don’t care about it, and putting aside ‘stats aren’t entirely diegetic’, which solves this ‘problem’ but is 1) unprovable and more importantly 2) a boring answer, I had arrived at the simple and elegant conclusion that Giffca, at the very least in their youth if not also in the present, is simply stronger than Caineghis.

Some history/context before I talk about Caineghis and Giffca’s experience. Most of what we know comes from the first few pages of Tellius Recollections Vol 1, so I’d recommend reading through those if you want to learn more (not that there's much more to be learned 😔).

On page 11 of Tellius Recollection Volume One, we’re told that Gallia is mostly “a collection of scattered tribal groups of various sizes” (Zarzi, the capital, is stated to be a city, and is probably where most of the Crimean immigrants (which make up a fifth of the country’s population) can be found), and that “from time to time, these groups acknowledge the most powerful of them all as king”.

So, Gallia has the strongest person become king. This is common knowledge and what has driven the concerned posts about the viability of Giffca and Skirmir in heroes, but it's always good to check to see if these things are stated in the text. I’ve touched on it before but this concept probably mostly comes from the country having to fight for its independence, and having a leader that can return from the battlefield alive and not have to be replaced every few months is generally a good idea.

In the roughly 300 years between when the peace treaty with Begnoin was signed following the end of the Second Gallian War and the formation of the Laguz Alliance, Gallia was not at war. Regardless of the exact amount, they had to have gone through a decent number of kings by the time the games roll around, and it would be expected for the King Selection Process to have drifted a little bit from its origins.

Among other things, this means that the exact reasons for the whole The Strongest Becomes King thing has started to fade from public consciousness. It’s a tradition, sure, and they’ll continue to carry it on, sure, but because the reason for the tradition went away it’s not like people fully remember why they’re doing it anymore. It’s become more of a spectacle or festival than a necessary part of the nation’s survival, so it’s a lot less serious than it used to be.

So, what is it? How do these cats strut their stuff and prove they’ve got it?

It’s probably wrestling. I’m open to it being some other combat sport thing so much as that it’s clear that it’s some kind of competition of physical strength, but I like the idea of it being wrestling over, say, mma or boxing because it’s something where 1) you use your whole body (where they show off all of what they’ve got) and 2) isn’t about breaking your opponent’s face open or otherwise knocking them unconscious (giving your next king brain damage is probably bad). It could be judo or something similar, I guess. Don’t really have that much of a preference so long as it fills those two conditions. Either way, it’s become a literal (non-lethal, all-in-good-fun) battle for the throne.

On paper, but I’ll get to that.

And when I likened it to a festival earlier? It has absolutely turned into a festival, because who doesn’t love to grab some good food with their friends and sit down and watch the most muscular people in Gallia rub their steamy, sweaty bodies together as they try to pin each other to the ground?

*ahem*

Everyone loves a good festival is what I’m saying. It happens a couple times in their lifetime, so since it’s not a life-or-death situation anymore, you might as well go all out.

The basic chain of events is

1) The current monarch announces their intent to step down in the near future

2) Whenever it’s next reasonably possible (ie. not in the middle of a war), the country shifts into festival mode

3) Zarzi hosts the competition, though people take the chance to celebrate all across the land

4) Someone wins and they do the whole ascend-to-the-throne ceremony stuff, though the previous monarch probably sticks around in an advisor role to make sure they can like. not burn everything down

“Okay but Skrimir is considered to be next in line for the throne during RD despite Caineghis retiring after RD???”

I think this is a reflection of things Caineghis and Giffca sought to change after their own experience, but I’ll get to that closer to the end.

Skrimir is well-known because he’s the king’s nephew, very popular, and his strength is readily apparent (remember: numbers aren’t real unless they suit the argument you’re trying to make). While people could (and will) try to beat him at Extreme Gallian Wrestling, basically nobody expects anyone to pose a serious threat to his chances at the throne. Which isn’t to say that he’s now suddenly literally the strongest person in Gallia (Giffca, for example, could totally still launch him into orbit), it’s just that none of the people who could beat him have any interest in the throne.

(Incidentally, this also addresses the concerns mentioned in the tweets that drove me to write this, but I'm not done quite yet)

On paper anyone can sign up for the wrestling competition, and a lot of people do, but in the years leading up to a monarch’s retirement there become clear favorites to win, and like how that happened with Skrimir, it likewise happened with Giffca and Caineghis.

Caineghis appealed more to the younger crowd, like Skrimir. He was hotheaded, passionate, and spoke to their hearts, and is described as having been somehow even less controllable than his nephew. We don’t really know much about Giffca in the past or the present 😩 but he’s shown to be very serious and grounded, which would likely have attracted the attention of Gallia’s ruling class instead.

“There’s a ruling class?” you may ask.

Perhaps that’s not the perfect term, but yes. In Chapter 9 of PoR, Caineghis mentions the “elder statesman” of Gallia being an obstacle to him offering Elincia his full support. Though still a monarch, Gallia’s king is evidently far from an autocrat, and there is some equivalent to a noble class (likely the leaders of the “scattered tribal groups”, though given what Gallians value, war heroes or their equivalent are probably included too) that maintains some amount of sway in the country’s politics.

That brief aside aside, I think the ruling class (king included) of contemporary Gallia, would generally agree that simply having the strongest person in Gallia become king would be both impractical for governance (letting literally anybody walk up and claim the throne sounds like a great way for your country to crash and burn) and very impractical to actually figure out. Are you going to test every single person in the country? How much time would that take? How many resources? It’d be like herding cats!

So, while random people can still join and throw down if they wanted in on the fun, I think that the outcome (read: intended victor) is a thing that the ruling class determines ahead of time, with the tournament used to settle any disagreements should they not be in majority support of any one individual. There’s no way they’d believe their country could survive if they let any random guy run it, so, while the matches weren’t outright rigged (they'd likely be choosing someone strong anyway, so there wasn't a huge need for match-fixing), the tourney was more of an exhibition match that served as a way for the new king to win the approval of the citizens and show that he had the strength they were looking for in a leader.

The intended outcome would also be an open secret among anyone who would make it close to the top, since any runners-up would be prime picks for advisors or similar positions (such as succeeding tribal leaders that are also looking to retire) and as a result, be recognized by those currently in power and approached about their future job prospects.

EDIT: I'm very smart and totally know how to both read and retain information from the two whole paragraphs TR1 gives us. They flat out say that Solhaut (Gallia's first king) was elected, which is more or less what I'm saying the ruling class still does. Gallia has never been genuinely threatened since its independence, so I don't think there's much of a reason for this system to have fallen out of practice.

With all that in mind, I can finally start getting to the point.

Between a younger Caineghis and a younger Giffca, it’s pretty clear to me that Giffca would be selected to be the next king. We don’t really know anything about him. At all. But that’s a clear step up from “worse than Skrimir”, so. Yeah. I think it’s fairly easy for us to envision his younger self to be something like a more grumpy or gruff Ranulf and the ruling class could easily see someone like that being able to grow into a good king capable of making good decisions and leading Gallia in a good direction.

Sounds pretty great, right? Well... I think that an adolescent Giffca noticed that the people around him were rolling out the red carpet for him to be next in line for the throne after the current king retired, and he just didn’t want any of that.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to serve Gallia, but couldn’t someone else sit on the throne? Being king sounded like it would suck. You’d have to sit around leading a country, you’d have no real vacation days to speak of, you'd become a target for entities that sought to harm Gallia… aside from living in the spotlight —if that was even something you wanted— there were no real perks to the job, especially in a country like Gallia where it gave you less power than it did basically anywhere else.

He liked his current job a lot (assistant to the head archivist, which he didn’t realize he was set up with so he could interact with a lot of ministers in preparation for his time on the throne (headcanon alert btw, though since I’m giving him any sort of characterization, I guess that should be a given :P)), and it’s not like anyone ever told him he had to win, had they? He did run a bit cooler than most Gallians, but he liked his freedom all the same.

And so, not realizing the ways in which he had been told to play along (not that anybody expected him not to, since he had never openly said anything close to “hey I don’t really want to do this”), he made it to the finals, put on a good show, and in front of the whole country, in front of their country’s patron (Dheginsea, who was invited as a guest of honor), he threw his match against Caineghis.

And why wouldn’t he? Caineghis was a naturally popular person, and he seemed plenty eager to lead (two traits Giffca sorely lacked), so he’d make a great king, and Giffca could go on with his life, and they’d both be happy.

...Right?

Problem was, Giffca and Caineghis had clashed plenty of times already (Caineghis was the second choice, so they crossed paths plenty of times) so on top of knowing what the plan was, Caineghis also knew that he shouldn’t be able to win against Giffca. They were fairly closely matched in raw strength, but Giffca was much smarter about the way he used it (not to mention that Caineghis was very prone to letting the blood rush to his head). He knew the throne was being forced upon him, and, while he was hotheaded, he had enough self-awareness to know that he wasn’t prepared for this job, which made it all the more baffling that Giffca, of all people, would think him fit for it.

If you had asked Caineghis, he honestly thought that Giffca was a great choice to be king, a far better one than he was. Giffca had everything Caineghis lacked and everything a king needed: he was intelligent, he spoke with clarity, he held is head high, and, until now, he was always just. He was firm in his convictions but knew when he needed to bend a little lest he break, and, in their only similarity, he clearly loved Gallia above all else, so... why? He couldn’t understand why Giffca would push the throne onto someone so unfitting for it. Caineghis knew he was hotheaded, he knew he couldn’t keep his cool, and, even before it was decided that it should be Giffca, he didn’t feel like he was the right person for the job.

They both believed themselves unfit for the throne, and Giffca had acted faster than Caineghis and was able to run away from it. Up until that point, Caineghis had honestly liked Giffca a lot, he held a lot of respect for him, and he... couldn’t understand. He couldn’t understand why Giffca would go so far to avoid the throne. As he stood there, declared victor, declared king in front of the whole world, he knew he had lost to Giffca. At what, he didn’t know, but he had undeniably lost.

He couldn’t abdicate. He couldn’t walk away. And in the coming months, strangled by his own authority and responsibilities, he started to understand at least a little why Giffca hadn’t wanted this, but he was never able to understand why he didn’t just say so.

Giffca was able to escape notice in the bureaucratic mess around Caineghis’ sudden and unexpected ascent, but Caineghis never forgot. In the back of his mind, as he was busy with learning the ins and outs of being a monarch, he was always thinking of a way to find out why.

After a year or two, using Giffca’s second-place finish as a pretense, his authority as a king as a cudgel, and Giffca’s match-throwing as blackmail for good measure, Caineghis appointed Giffca as his right-hand man.

Their relationship from then on was rocky, to say the least. Giffca felt some guilt over what he did to Caineghis, but also felt that forcing him into a job he had been actively trying to avoid was excessive, and Caineghis still felt personally betrayed by Giffca’s actions during the finals match. They were civil with each other for the purposes of not sending the country they both loved so much down a path of destruction, but it took considerable time for them to come to understand each other and stop baring their fangs behind closed doors.

By the time they realized their anxieties about sitting on the throne (which is what lied at the core of their disputes) had been the same, they had both grown into their roles in the government very, very well, and while it still wasn’t something either could do alone, they weren’t really doing it alone anymore, were they?

Since the experience was so miserable for the two of them, it’s only natural that they resolved to do better for whoever was next (as we know, it ended up being Skrimir). I don’t think that they sought to completely upend the whole Fun Wrestling Get Together Festival thing, but with the benefit of hindsight they were able to see that most of their problems were caused by a lack of communication. They made sure that Skrimir actually 100% wanted to lead a country and, while they were at it, made sure Ranulf actually wanted to be his advisor/babysitter as well; they were openly given the freedom of choice instead of being expected to play along like good little kittens.

There wasn’t much beyond that that needed to be changed, though I think that it’s fair to assume that choosing to have Skrimir lead the military campaign in RD Act 3 was a way to have him prove his worth to those who cared (of course, this also included Caineghis and Giffca) before they progressed to the wrestling thing and couldn’t back out. It wasn’t necessarily as a way to manufacture a hero, but it’s not like it’d hurt for him to be one either, y’know?

I guess one last thing to talk about (since I’m in the general neighborhood of the topic) is how, like how the campaign in Act 3 was a humbling experience for Skrimir and a key point in his life where he realized he needed to change course one way or another, the shitshow surrounding Caineghis becoming king was an equally humbling experience for him (and eventually led to him becoming the kind of person capable of having “behaving rationally” listed as their talent in their Tellius Recollection Vol 1 profile).

It wasn’t as if his life was free of conflict before, but it’s easy to imagine that it was mostly smooth sailing. People liked him, he liked them back, and that usually stopped any problems before they started, but with Giffca throwing the match and everything that followed, Caineghis had hit a wall he couldn’t even begin to grasp the shape of.

I’ll repeat myself a little, but from Caineghis’ perspective, Giffca had done a total 180. The people of Gallia (and especially those who approached him) were generally a very straightforward bunch and whenever someone had a problem with Caineghis, they would use their words or their fists to figure it out. Giffca never gave him the chance, and that was a massive wakeup call.

Taking everything at face value got him into this situation, and if he hoped to stand up to those who (unlike Giffca) actually sought to bring harm to Gallia, he’d need to adapt to a world of deceit, lies, and half-truths. He had never needed to stop and analyze someone’s actions, words, or intentions to the degree which he had to with Giffca, but now that he was king, now that he was responsible for an entire nation of people, could he ever afford to be that careless again?

Kishuna gets very little characterization by virtue of being completely mute. On the other hand, I am extremely unwell and find this to be a very attractive trait, and have devoted my tormented yet beautiful mind to the noble pursuit of filling in every blank left behind by the vile and neglectful intelligent systems writing team.

While he shows up in a variety of situations and usually disappears without seeming to have done anything, I like to think that he is deliberately leading the party towards eliminating morphs and foiling Nergal's plans. This isn't out of resentment towards his creator for casting him aside (if anything, he appreciates being given the chance to experience life), but rather because he fundamentally objects to the use of living things as weapons and can't see any future for his siblings but to be forced to fight to the last breath. All he wants is for them to be happy, but as the only morph that naturally feels emotion that's a future he can't give them. The best he can do is give them a peaceful rest in death by bringing a premature end to their fate as tools of war.

And even that horrible excuse of a 'good ending' is something he can't bring about himself. With no combat skills, he has no hope of standing against morphs created for war, and with no words, he can never hope to convey his wish to those able (or willing) to fulfill it. He must instead give those who would stand against Nergal a nudge in the right direction.

He first appears in chapter 19x, where he seals the magic of Aion (the map boss), helping the party avoid having to face his formidable magic prowess. Aion gets pissy and calls him 'that good-for-nothing', clearly indicating that Nergal's forces are at least passingly familiar with Kishuna, and I think it's a very easy leap in logic to assume that this is because he's been a thorn in their side for a while. Why else would Aion, who is obsessed with Nergal's greatness, instantly recognize what Nergal considers to be his greatest failure? Because Kishuna has done this before, perhaps even to Aion himself.

23x is the next time he appears, and Pent provides a tiny bit of context for what a magic seal is (really he just tells us that it's an actual thing, and has a name, which... sure. he's mage general, not mage 'specialized knowledge of freaks of nature'). The party speculates that he's summoning the morphs in the ruins to fight back (and that he had even "created this place"), but here's the thing: in every encounter, even though he always comes as a package deal with some morphs that are ready and raring to go, Kishuna himself never defends himself. Surely, if he wanted to, he could at least flail about with a sword or dagger or something, right?

If we proceed under the assumption that his end goal is the extinction of all morphs (which also entails Nergal's eventual defeat since he'd just keep making more), it's almost effortless to reframe him summoning morphs to fight in every encounter to him leading his siblings to slaughter. It's unclear exactly how he tells morphs where to go (also unclear how anyone else does, for that matter), but that leads me to talking about my next vision of the truth assumption.

The places that Kishuna shows up are either old workshops of Nergal's (23x and 32x) or otherwise places where he stores morphs when they're not deployed (19x, though I think the building Aion is standing at is probably a workshop). Nergal would have commanded them to fight back should they be besieged, and, recognizing Kishuna as their kin and thus misidentifying him as an ally, they only attack the humans that approach. In all three cases shown, this group of humans ends up being the party, though I wouldn't rule out Kishuna directing other groups in the past or even simultaneously (he's shown to be able to warp, and while it's unclear how that works due to the whole magic seal thing, it is pretty undeniably something he is capable of, so travel time is nowhere close to being a problem).

Going back to 23x for a moment, while Hector merely muses that "it didn't seem human", at the end of Eliwood's version of the chapter (22x) we see another reason why Kishuna has to resort to luring people to these locations:

The mere presence of Kishuna being nearby is enough to make even the normally soft-spoken Ninian reject his humanity. Ignore that he's not human for a moment; he's still clearly a person from our perspective, but nobody in the party is willing to ever entertain that he's anything more than a mere creature, a beast that upends the natural order and can only bite when provoked. Aion, scornful man that he is, at least acknowledges that Kishuna is capable of intent, but if the people Kishuna wishes to ally himself with can only see him as a pest to be exterminated, what option does he have but to lead them around? To use his ability as a magic seal, which can act as a signal that permeates walls and spreads across battlefields, to beckon them towards that which must be destroyed? To use their primal sense of disgust towards his mere existence to his advantage?

Rejected by your father, ignored by your siblings (though it is by no fault of theirs), and deemed unworthy of life by everyone else... how unbearably lonely that must be.

32x is Kishuna's final appearance. It goes about the same as all the others. He appears, you kill morphs on the way to him, and then you fight him. The only difference is that this time he doesn't run away. He simply sits there, on his throne, and awaits death.

He had done all that he could. Perhaps he could instead flee and return to seal Nergal's magic but... would our heroes be able to strike Nergal in that moment? Or would his presence muddy the waters, distracting them long enough for Nergal to regain the upper hand?

He couldn't risk it. This was the closest anyone had gotten to stopping Nergal, and if he blew it now, who knew what future would come to pass?

It was time. He stood resolute, read for the blades that would come down on him. He had prepared centuries for this moment, and he couldn't let any nagging sense of self-preservation get in his way.

And yet...

As his body was pierced by swords and sabers and spears, he couldn't help but wonder.

Could things have been any different?

Was there an ending for him, an ending for his siblings that didn't hurt so much?

With his last breath, as his body crumbled to dust, he found the strength to ask himself one final question:

Were he and Nergal destined to be opposed until the bitter end, or could they have found a different path? Was there an ending for him, his siblings, and his father that wasn't so miserable? Or were they always going to be doomed to this fate of conflict, war, and annihilation?

No matter how badly you want it, you can't fuck Giffca. It's just not happening, buddy.

I think fuckability mainly takes three things into account:

Could it actually happen? (their willingness to have sex with you (your ability to obtain their consent))

How badly do you want it to happen? (the ability (desire) to have sex with them (important for when someone's hot but they suck) (this is subjective and I will be ignoring it for the purposes of this post))

Would the sex actually be good? (the ability (skill) to have sex (if it sucks, are they really that fuckable?))

Giffca does not let you past point number one.

Even if he wasn't monogamous*, even if he wasn't already in a committed relationship**, you have no chance. His standards are high and you're not going to meet them. He's been walking around Tellius for over a century*** and you are but a child to him. At best.

Giffca's life is dedicated to Gallia. You think you can weasel your way into his heart? You think there's room for you in there? He knows all your tricks and he's never going to reciprocate. The most you could possibly accomplish in your quest to sleep with him is being an annoyance.

Now, this isn't to say that Mordecai is the most fuckable Gallian either. He's sweet, he's captured the hearts of a wider audience through feh, and, of course, gets points for being a large cat with an even larger heart but like. And I say this with love in my heart. Bro has not fucked. He's in his early 20s****, has the social skills of a brick, and you cannot tell me he has ever been in a relationship. He has no experience, so he'll fall short on point three.

But! You actually have a shot. You'd start as friends, or perhaps just as acquaintances, but he'd give you a chance. You learn more about him, he learns more about you, and gradually grow closer together. As your worlds overlap more and more, eventually, together, you both understand that you're ready to not just overlap, but perhaps even become one. And as you keep going steady and understand each others bodies more, you'll both get better and better, but that's Mordy after years of knowing you both inside and out. That's not the Mordy this bracket is asking about.

Anyway, if you try to pull any of that shit with Giffca you're gonna die.

The oldest tweet mentioning Caineghis says that "aside from his sandals caineghis is probably one of the best-designed FE characters." I understand the sentiment, but I think the sandals are a nice accent to the rest of his design and help cap off how it all ties into who he is.

Caineghis knows his position and his strength and the strength granted to him by his position, and several times throughout the games he throws his weight around in a manner that could be described as either reckless or crass and faces no real consequences because, yknow, he’s the biggest of the big cats.

When he more or less explains his relationship with Elincia to Nailah as "someone who I love as I would a daughter, and you shall do the same", he knows she isn’t going to push back on him being heavy-handed about it. During the summit with all the Laguz leaders in por he’s a wall none of the other leaders (Dheginsea aside) dare not try to move. Tibarn even comments on this in rd by saying that Skrimir of all people is easier to control than him. Skrimir! The meathead who let off the gas for the first time in his life like a week before!

So, let’s go back to his design. Imagine you’re to meet the king of a country. And he walks in wearing a robe. And sandals. Loungewear, basically. Bro is comfy as hell. It’s like if you walked into a job interview and your boss was wearing a tshirt and sweatpants and flipflops.

But he’s the king. Could you say anything? He’s 400 pounds of muscle. Could you object to his dress? He can turn into a massive lion at will. Could you suggest that he’s not taking his position seriously? Everyone in this country respects him tremendously. Are you going to dare comment on it? And there’s a glint in his eyes, a slight smile on his face, telling you that he knows exactly what you’ve been thinking, and you realize with some fear that this is all on purpose. He’s not dressed like this just for his own comfort.

No, he’s dressed like this so you know from the moment that he walks in that he’s in control. He always has been, and you have no chance of challenging that. No chance of challenging him.

This isn’t even getting into his body language and expression. Scroll back up. Look at him. Look him in the eyes. Even if every day is pajama day in Zarzi castle, he clearly carries himself with dignity. Looking at him, you know without a doubt that he’s a king. The king.

Hoshidan Monk Gets Resplendent Instead Of Your Favourite

Azama, of renown for having the lowest attack stat known to Askr and generally being kind of an ass, has been chosen to receive a new outfit in recognition of his long service with the Order of Heroes.

Pictured: Azama savouring his resplendent outfit, knowing he has caused torment for delaying anyone else's.

Reception to this development has been seemingly negative, with the man himself having low approval compared to others in the running for a new outfit.

Furthermore, his selection means, at the very least, others are now delayed by at least two weeks in receiving a new outfit.

Reports indicate he has stated his opinion as being aware of this fact, and that it was, in fact, what he wanted all along in receiving his resplendent outfit; several people irritated at his presence. What a legend.

More to come as one day, surely, his daughter gets summoned. Surely one day.
