I'm alright with them existing if you are. It could also make the cast way more interesting as a whole. Would we be going with the Dragon Age approach — where it's strictly humans/elves/dorfs — or the D&D approach — where there are also others — I mean either way, exempting manaketes and lycans and the like.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna like him.

Fire Emblem: The Motes of Light [Powerpeon & Light]

I do hope we run into a cool dark magic user of Canas's temperament~.

Edit: because nerdy dark mages are my jam.

Edit no 2: Well, not just nerdy dark mages. Henry was amazing, and with a little bit of rewriting Tharja would have been amazing.

Although now that I look at the spell lists, I think dark magic might be the key, since the majority of it seems modeled more after FE7's rendition of Dark Magic —which is to say, the kind incessantly called "ancient magic" and sort of implied to be a Deal With the Devil kind of scenario.

FemCorrin here.

Oh yes, I saw the spell list too; nice on adding frost spells, and bringing back Bolting and Purge and not making Eclipse suck as much; Swarm and Mire are such boooooooring Seige spells, after all, and we've been plagued with them for three games now.

A little disappointed with Luna, but then it's one of those tomes that's either the most broken thing in the game (I mean, 1/2 resistance ignored at 0 MT means that it's kind of permanently bad, even with FE7-levels of hit, but not quite Sacred Stones-level of bad because at least you can hit things with 75 hit) or kind if mediocre. I'm nonetheless now officially undecided if I wanna pick up Dark Magic on Catherin when she promotes.

I think I'll leave that up to her character arc, when it unfolds.

Queen Ylonda de Rochefort

Formerly, Lady Ylonda of Londium

"Your father and I simply thought a miracle could be repeated twice. Oh, how foolish a thought that is, I know."

-- a little heart-to-heart with Catherin about marriage.

Appearance

Queen Ylonda has aged far more gracefully than her husband. Her long, straight hair still has its chestnut-brown color, after all, and her eyes, despite a cataract starting to form in the left one, are still radiantly amber-colored. She has a sharp face, and an even sharper sense of fashion -- even at her age she dresses with as splendor as she can manage.

The king's detractors often call her "the brains" of the royal operation. They aren't entirely wrong, as Queen Ylonda is a very practically-minded queen, even helping her husband with the majority of his edicts. She is far more serious a person than her husband outwardly, though, and somewhat more aggressive at her and her husband's detractors. They aren't wrong in guessing that she is also Ashkandi's Master of Whispers either, as she is the kind of person who knows in and out how to manage court intrigue far better than her husband. There are rumors as well that she is far more strict with the children than her husband ... such rumors are only half-true, as she views her self-tutoring of her daughters in matters of the court as doing anything it takes to ensure the survival of the kingdom, and does not participate in the training of her sons as much, though it is perceived that she coddles Hauchefort a little more so than she did with Martin.

She is a blunt queen. She won't mince words with anyone. She is critical and intellectual on top of that.

Biography
Ylonda of Londium was the youngest of three daughters in a kingdom in the Riverlands to the North. She was always the best of the three at keeping a secret, a skill that would follow her even through her marriage with King Ardias. She was the frankest of her sisters with commoners and servants, and more or less blunt enough for her to be a liability to the Londium court. It wasn't a very eventful life from her view. The Darkness was so far away from Londium at the time, and the king of Ashkandi was effective at stemming it in spite of the costs in lives. There was a feeling in the back of her mind throughout her life that there was something wrong with his efforts.

It was a rocky marriage. She had gotten the news of her betrothal not a month before she planned on eloping with a commoner to see the world outside of Londium, to adventure elsewhere as far away as possible. Thus was the reason why she viewed Ardias with a lot of resentment at first, and what made their marriage so difficult in its first years. Such resentment only remains in jokes she makes at the king's expense, but it took her observations of the king for her to agree to work their marriage out in the long run. It was the look on his face as couriers brought him the news of the Border Disaster against the Darkness, the look on his face as Ser Nikalos returned with a throbbing wound from the fangs of a Bael, and the news of his brothers dying in battle reaching his ears that got her to change her mind about him. Over the course of a single evening, she and he hammered out a plan for their future.

Ever since, most of that plan has ... gone well. Martin's part certainly did. Her frustrations began with Catherin especially; given how her marriage worked out so well with Ardias, she expected to impart the same lesson to Catherin.

This would normally be the part where their relationship is patched up and everything is perfectly happy. Only half of the latter occured; their relationship is fine. So long as the subject of marriage and suitors and true love never comes up, and it's a sore spot that has made any visitation from the academy awkward. It had gotten to the point where even Martin, the idealist, would strongly encourage the other siblings to never bring up the subject of boyfriends at the dinner table in front the two of them if Catherin happened to be at the dinner table. It is a sore spot that has remained untouched ever since Catherin went to the academy.

She fears the pattern might repeat with Elin, even if she views Delia as a miracle by comparison. It's the lessons from four children before her that she takes to raising Hauchefort. Thusfar the results remain to be seen, even if she seems to be coddling him a lot more than her other children.

I'm not expecting it to be Thracia 776-hard, mostly because the engine isn't built for the sort of dick moves that Thracia had, but if it's as challenging as FE7 or FE9/10, I'd dig it a lot.

I mean, the main difference already is that Hoshido just has open-wandering and grinding.

But hey, we're both Nohr—now the question remains: Male Corrin or Fem Corrin? >=3

Edit: Oh my god I was looking through your items list and you have status effect staves. Ohhhh boy this is gonna be fuun!

Fire Emblem: The Motes of Light [Powerpeon & Light]

Yeah. That's essentially what I plan on doing. The premise behind the Nohr campaign makes more sense to me though—without going into too much detail why, it boils down to Corrin knowing his Nohr family a lot more closely—too close to just up and abandon them, asshole dad or not.

Fire Emblem: The Motes of Light [Powerpeon & Light]

Nah, it'll be fine. I hear Fates basically has online multiplayer; I'm going the Nohr route, for a preference of characterization. Also because I don't get Takumi's appeal.
