The Syndicate

After you beat the game you can cross the ocean to Archanea which is where the first and third games take place. Remind you that FE:SoVE is a remake of the second game and the 16th in the series I believe. So this bonus dungeon is tough. 10 floors of max level enemies and dragons. And as you go there’s these tablets that describe this dude named Forneus and the dungeon itself is the ruined city of Thabes. So long story short, Forneus makes these masks out of these weird insects in pursuit of a life form and he tries to do just that with an Earth Dragon that he somehow obtained. He becomes possessed and it leads to the creation of this Crazy strong dragon who can in turn control the zombies called “Masks” in the game.

Here’s where we connect the story. The Creation as it’s called is classed as a Fell Dragon. And to even access it you have to remove this shield acting as a seal to the second part of the dungeon. For those of you who played FE Awakening. Youll recognize this bonus dungeon boss as the big bad: Grima. And the masks you fight with Alm/Celica turn out to be the Risen enemy archetype from awakening as well. Still not convinced? Archanea is the entire continent that Awakening takes place on. Just having new provinces. In turn, Valentia becomes Valm since Awakening takes place some couple hundred years after FE: Echoes.

My only question left is the time between the end of Echoes and the Start of Awakening. There’s gotta be some more content that can be made somewhere aside from Alm/Celica killing Grima with Falchion. Then Grima suddenly has a cult and stuff. Not to mention how the Falchion moves around between heroes all the time. I didn’t see this in the wikis either but the seal used on Grimas/Forneus’ lab resembles the Fire Emblem.


But yeah fun stuff I learned tonight
