The Fire Emblem is used by Marth to open chests without a key. Ferox held the red jewel, Gules, Tiki held the blue jewel, Azure, in the Mila Tree, Chon'sin held the green jewel, Vert, until it was taken to Valm after Walhart conquered Chon'sin, and the black gem, Sable, was stolen by the Grimleal in Plegia, who viewed the Emblem as sacrilegious due to its role in defeating Grima. Ylisse held onto the shield itself as well as the the silver gem, Argent.

The five gems of the shield were distributed across the world in the various countries during a time known as the Schism. However the change of function is never explained. Its alternate appearance in this title is explained by Lucina in a support conversation both the Fire Emblem and the Falchion were broken and reforged some time before the game. The Fire Emblem is also used as a shield by Chrom when he is promoted to Great Lord, similar to how Marth uses it in Mystery of the Emblem. When all five jewels ( Argent, Sable, Gules, Azure, and Vert) are placed on the Emblem, the Awakening Ceremony can be initiated. The Fire Emblem was used by the First Exalt of Ylisse to defeat Grima, but due to the Emblem's overwhelming power, four of the jewels were removed from it afterwards. For reasons unknown, the Fire Emblem now functions much differently then before. The Fire Emblem is one of the national treasures of Ylisse, alongside the Falchion. Finally, despite the return of Camus, under the alias of Sirius, her chance of love with him was no longer possible as he not only was already in love with a Valentian woman named Tatiana (who nursed him back to health after he was washed ashore in Valentia after his battle against Marth), but he had come to believe that he would never bring Nyna anything but disgrace and sadness. Then she was forced into a loveless marriage with Hardin who was corrupted by Gharnef soon after and was killed by Marth's army in the end. First, she was forced to watch as Camus, leader of the Sable Knights fought against Marth's army due to his undying loyalty to Grust and supposedly die. The curse on the Binding Shield affected Nyna the most heavily during the events of the War of Shadows. During his defeat, Medeus taunted Marth that the complete shield would be eventually lost due to humanity's greed, but Marth resolved to keep it together. With the Binding Shield and the Falchion, Marth was able to slay a revived Medeus, and put the Earth Dragons back into the seal. With the Binding Shield complete, Gotoh allowed Marth to awaken Tiki so long as the shield remained complete. He would eventually find the missing orbs and have Gotoh restore the Fire Emblem to its true form, the Binding Shield. In Mystery of the Emblem, Marth would obtain the shield once again, this time from Linde, when he began his battle against the possessed Hardin. The shield remained in Archanea until Medeus's revival, where the surviving member of the Archanea royal family, Nyna, entrusted it to Marth to use in his battle against Medeus. This became known as Artemis' Curse (アルテミスの定め, Arutemis no Sadame lit. Though she loved the hero Anri, she was never able to marry him due to his commoner status.

There are two different origins given for the curse: Mystery of the Emblem implies the curse began when Adrah stole the shield and removed the orbs, while Shadow Dragon implies that the curse originated with Artemis, who cursed it in order to guarantee Cartas victory against Medeus. Sometime after the Binding Shield became the Fire Emblem, a curse was put on it, dooming its wielders, who for most of its history was the Archanea royal family, to misery. During the battle against Medeus and the Dolhr Empire, the Fire Emblem was wielded by Duke Cartas, leader of the rebellion against Medeus, although it was ultimately the peasant-born Anri, wielding the Falchion, who would slay Medeus. The thief would later go on to found the kingdom of Archanea and kept the shield, now renamed the Fire Emblem, as a royal treasure. The shield also helped prevent Manaketes from Degeneration.Īfter their death, the shield was stolen by a thief named Adrah, who removed and sold the gemstones placed in it, thus unknowingly weakening the seal over the Earth Dragons. Originally forged by Naga from one of their fangs, they used it to seal away the Earth Dragons, who had turned feral and were threatening to destroy humanity. 17 February 2016 Profile Origin and Early Use
