FE Engage Pre Release Theory: Which Kingdom has which rings

Almost all of this is just guess work, but it’s fun to do lol.

Marth’s ring has already been confirmed to be with Alear during his 1,000 year sleep. We can consider Marth a “Lythos owned” emblem then, since Alear is asleep on Lythos, the holy land in the center of Elios. Probably obvious that he’s the first one you get, and from this screenshot of an early map, Marth’s probably the tutorial emblem. 

More under the cut!

Sigurd’s ring is actually given to Alear by Lumera as she lay wounded, so Sigurd can be considered a Lythos emblem too. Him being showed off a lot in promo likely was due to being an early game emblem.

Celica’s ring is an early game one too since it’s been seen alongside Sigurd and Marth alone. It’s probably owned by Firene due to Celine being very associated with her and Firene looking to be Alear’s first ally.

Micaiah’s and Roy’s emblems were seen all the way back in Engage’s first trailer.

I also noticed that in a recent trailer that there’s an instance where Micaiah is there, but Roy isn’t.

So I think either Firene has Micaiah’s ring as well, or Brodia has both Micaiah and Roy and you just get them at different times.

I’m leaning a bit towards the former, since the as yet unseen Queen Eve of Firene says they has another emblem ring in their possession, so going by word choice if we assume she’s referring offhand to already having Celica, then Micaiah could be the other.

Next, most likely I think towards the end of the first fourth of the game, Elusia’s king-who I think is named Hyacinth?-will kill Brodia’s king Morion. 

This will probably give advantage to Elusia and spur them to launch an attack on Brodia, and judging from the above pic and the following: 

Lyn and Lucina are owned by Elusia. Recent cutscenes with Hortensia and Ivy also kind of support my theory of them invading Brodia. At some point, Ivy and Hortensia will be playable as shown in videos of them, but I don’t know if Lyn and Lucina will be gotten before them (as in we take the rings after a failed Elusian attack) or if we get the rings when we get them.

Corrin and Byleth are tricky to place. Corrin’s ring I still think has something to do with that Veyle girl as their color schemes and aesthetics are too similar. Maybe she gifts Alear the ring after saving them in Firene?

Maybe Alear will awaken Corrin from her emblem during the attack on Brodia? Byleth meanwhile, I think is an emblem that Brodia owns, but it gets stolen during Elusia’s attack, mostly because of this line in the recent trailer: 

This could just be a reference to Sothis, but I think Byleth will be used as an example of Emblem’s being used by enemies alongside Lyn and Lucina. And judging by his affinity with Alcryst, that supports my thinking that he’s a Brodia emblem. Then again, the place Byleth is in could be Solm and not Brodia, idk enough about each place’s aesthetics yet.

Ike is probably owned by Solm, given Ike’s association with Timera, but that’s all I got: 

Leif has been spotted in recent screen shots (art by racecarart on Twitter): 

The following pic I got from Serenes, showing Leif equipped on Alear (as well as Ike in the top left equipped on Alfred, and Sigurd, Lucina, Lyn and Byleth):

Leif I think is also owned by Solm, but the only reasoning I have for that is that Timera’s ring in her intro cutscene...

...isn’t in her character portrait...

...but does look similar to Leif’s emblem ring.

The other rings have prominent colored gems on them (Ike’s for example has a big blue one) and they match their in-game look. Leif’s is the only one ring that matches Timera’s in the cutscene.

Lastly, Eirika is the only emblem that has straight up not been seen at all. We only have her mural painting and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it glimpse at a statue that all emblems have in Lythos’ tower.

So unfortunately I have no idea where Eirika’s ring would be or who would own it. Maybe Solm or Elusia again? Maybe I was wrong about Firene and Eve was talking about Eirika’s ring? Or was it taken by the Four Hounds? No clue.

Guess we’ll have to wait for the rest to be revealed.

Revising A Tale of Star-Crossed Knights: Chapter 1

Link to Chapter 1: https://archiveofourown.org/works/39015690/chapters/97592907/

This is going to be a series of posts which is part Author's Notes, part retrospective. I've been wanting to revise my novel-length story for a while now, both to make it read better and to eventually reformat it into a good eBook format (AO3's ebook downloads unfortunately are not what I want). The first part of that was actually commissioning a lovely cover art by @racecarart; the second part is going through each chapter, revising it, and uploading the new parts to AO3.

Chapter 1 was the very first part of the story that I wrote. The first scene with the armory meeting was actually written in May 2021, over a year before the actual work on this fic began. I think my motivation for it came back in April 2022 which meant that it took about a month to produce 3000 words. This was back in a time when I had no idea what the finalized product was going to look like; I thought that I would only have eight chapters and it would be 15k-20k words (not too much longer than Divine Wind, Earth Lance). I did not have a handle on pacing and it shows.

I would estimate that the new Chapter 1 is about 35% original writing. The original plotline where Finn and Erinys go from 0 to 100 in the span of a chapter is meant to be contrived, firstly because the pairing is contrived in of itself (it's very hard to get in-game) and secondly because the plot relies on a sort of Kent/Fiora moment. But the original piece was contrived in a bad way. I especially didn't feel that there was much chemistry between the two prior to the dance. The solution to that was simple: expand on the first two scenes so they would actually show chemistry! They meet for the first time, they get to know each other and realize they're similar, and then they start becoming attracted to each other. On the other hand, I cut a short scene where Finn saves Erinys from an arrow because it didn't add much other than clichés.

The dance scene was my favorite part of the chapter so it was unchanged. I do like writing ballroom dances, perhaps to the point of leaning on it as a crutch, so I kept that. The very last scene at the end, however, did go some revision. The idea that Erinys tripped over a pebble and accidentally kissed Finn comes across as too contrived to the point of being immature. I changed it so that it's just that passion gets the better of them. I think this version of the scene also makes it more obvious that they did The Funny with each other outdoors - of course, I don't want to write anything explicit or even something that would make it rated M.

One last thing is that I'm cutting out a worldbuilding thing where real-world European languages like French filtered into the fic. That got dropped after around Chapter 9 and I don't want to leave a vestige of something that gets dropped out. A couple OCs will probably face a similar fate...Ah well, editing does mean you have to cut things you like.

---

For posterity's sake, here are the original author's notes:

Welcome to my Finn/Erinys longform fic. I'm finally getting around to doing this journey, charting the relationship from when they first meet to the end of the game when Finn is with his kids. I don't intend to novelize the entire thing but I want to try to get as much as I can think of on paper, from start to finish. I'm going to incorporate the four previous fics I've made so far as well. At the moment my outline has eight chapters, but I might add more if I feel a need to split up chapters or add more content. Targeting for one chapter a week but I'm not completely sure, depends on my motivation ebbing and flowing.

This chapter is basically an introduction; a fluff if you will. There's not really that much development because it's just Finn and Erinys falling in love. Probably rushed but that's okay because the idea is that they let their emotions take over eventually - they have a Kent/Fiora moment, if you will. At first they deny they're in love even though Lewyn and to a lesser extent Quan are egging them on, but later on they go from 0 to 100 because they're young. I refuse to write them doing the actual act but yes, they do the thing at the end of the chapter. We'll see that it has consequences in the next couple chapters, and it's not going to be completely clean. But I can promise that there will be a bit more fluff in the next chapter with a proper date or two.

Also if you're curious, the currencies are real life references. *Denier* is French for denarius and it was the currency used by the Franks in the early Middle Ages. *Marka* was an obscure currency used by Poland during the first years of the II Rzeczpospolita before it was replaced by the złoty. I didn't want to be too on the nose with those.

Inktober Week #3

Man, making a sketch each day is kicking my butt – finding the time is tough. Here’s this past week’s postings:

Day #13 – “Ash”

For this one, I thought I’d draw the Oldsmobile that Ash drives in the Evil Dead – this car was director Sam Raimi’s high school car and it shows up in all of his films. This was a quick sketch, but I think it came out pretty cool.

Day # 14 – “Overgrown”

Herbie the Love Bug

Herbie the Love Bug

Today’s Inktober prompt is “Misfit,” which makes me think of a very unconventional race car, Herbie the Love Bug.

I chose to make this drawing on Toned Tan paper to get the white reflections and side numbers to pop.

I started with just pencil outlines and filled it in with Copic markers. I really like the way the wheels turned out – big meaty race slicks on deep black gloss rims.
