History

Isaach's landscape

In Grann 757, Grannvale declared war on Isaach following an assault on the sacred site of Darna, attributed to Isaach's army; in reality, the Darna offensive was solely the work of Isaach's Rivough nobility, whose leader was promptly executed by Isaach's King Mananan for his belligerence. Mananan attempted to negotiate with Grannvale over the situation's reality, head of Rivough's leader in hand, but was assassinated before his news could reach Grannvale's Prince Kurth. In retaliation, Mananan's son Mariccle engaged Grannvale in a full-scale war; knowing of his imminent demise, he tasked his half-sister Ayra with escorting his son Shanan to safety outside Isaach. By Grann 759, Grannvale had won the war and seized Isaach as its own territory, administered by the Grannvale's Dozel noble family under Danan.

Two years later, when Sigurd of Chalphy - branded a traitor by Grannvale - sought to return home to clear his name, he entrusted Shanan and Oifey with the care of his infant son Seliph; accurately guessing that Danan's occupation would not have full control over Isaach yet, he tasked the two with seeking refuge in Isaach's most remote regions, along with other children from their army: Ayra's children Larcei and Ulster, and Raquesis's son Delmud. They settled in Tirnanog, a far-flung village in the northwest of Isaach; some time after the Battle of Belhalla, they were joined by Adean of Jungby and her children, Lana and Lester. During their seventeen years in hiding, Shanan worked quietly to establish a revolution army against Grannvale; in Grann 777, however, Danan finally learned of their presence in Tirnanog and ordered a strike while Shanan and Oifey were out of the country on other errands. In response, Seliph emerged to lead the charge against the Dozel occupation, soon defeating it and freeing Isaach from Grannvale control. Following the liberation war's conclusion, Shanan succeeded the Isaachian throne.

Notable locations in Isaach

Isaach Castle

The capital city of Isaach and the seat of power of its royal family. During the Grannvale occupation, it was held by Johan, Danan's middle son.

Rivough

Rivough was home to one of the two known noble families of Isaach. Its army was responsible for the assault on Darna, inciting the war with Grannvale; its king was executed by Mananan for this act, and its prince Galzus fled. Following Isaach's defeat, Rivough was occupied by "King" Danan as his seat of power over Isaach as a whole.

Sophara

Sophara was the home of another Isaach noble family, whose only known scion is Holyn. During the Grannvale occupation, it was held by Johalva, Danan's youngest son.

Ganeishire

A remote castle in Isaach's north. In Grannvale's occupation, it was administered by Harold, a general and confidante to Danan.

Tirnanog

Main article: Tirnanog

The far-flung village of Tirnanog is located in the remote reaches of Isaach's north-west. Mostly avoiding the scrutiny of Danan's occupation, it was the birthplace of Seliph's revolution.

Gameplay

Isaach as a whole is the subject of Chapter 6 of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, with Tirnanog as the home castle and Rivough as the final target of the chapter. Rivough also serves as the home castle of the following chapter.
