Appearance(s)

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Aenir (Japanese: ???, ???) was the wife of Nergal,[1] and the mother of Ninian and Nils. She only serves a background role in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, being only mentioned.

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Role

Aenir was an Illian ice dragon who went missing during the Scouring. Her husband, Nergal, left their children on Valor, instructing them to depart through the Dragon's Gate if he did not return, in search of her. He presumably never found her, as the activities of Nergal in the 500 years before he met Athos and after the Scouring are never elaborated, and he never retrieved his children.

After Nergal failed to locate Aenir, and Ninian and Nils went through the gate, Nergal no longer had a means of getting his children back. This series of events is what led to the events of Blazing Sword.

Personality and character

Aenir never appears, and she isn't even described. Nothing is known about her personality.

Florina does mention a particularly friendly ice dragon helping the Illian people survive winter, with a mountain, Ice Dragon Mountain, being where the dragon lived.[2] Ninian mentions she was born near this mountain,[3] which may imply that the dragon was Aenir.

Trivia

  • In the English version of Blazing Sword pretty much every line mentioning her is mistranslated, leading to much confusion to the name of Ninian's mother, with many people thinking Ninis's Grace is named after her mother.
    • The mistranslated lines are:
“ Daddy has to go to Aenir…I’m going to get Mommy ”
— Nergal


The line refers to Aenir as if it were a location, when Aenir is actually a person.[4]

“ [...] More power... I must be...stronger... I... Why? Why did I... want power? ......Quintessence? ”
— Nergal


In the Japanese version Nergal refers to Aenir instead of Quintessence. The words are similar in the Japanese version, as Quintessence is called "Aegir".[5]

But a war broke out between dragons and people… And the kind dragons, not wanting to hurt the humans, went off to a faraway place." — Florina, Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword

    Florina: You mean the mountain of the Ice Dragon?
    Ninian: …Ice Dragon?
    Florina: Yes. A long time ago, there was a tall mountain where an ice dragon lived. Don’t you know the story?    " — Florina and Ninian, Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword
  4. ↑ "In Chapter 19xx there is a flashback scene featuring a man and two children, who look suspiciously like younger versions of Nergal, Nils and Ninian. The man says “Daddy has to go to Aenir…I’m going to get Mommy”. This line was mistranslated and is supposed to read “Daddy has to go and get Aenir… Mommy”. In other words, Aenir is not the name of a place, but their mother." — VincentASM, Issues (webpage), Serenesforest.net, Published: ?, Retrieved: May 5th, 2015
  5. ↑ "Related to the above, if Chapter 19xx was visited, Nergal says “Why did I… want power? ……Quintessence? …Don’t…under…stand…” when he dies. Sounds innocent enough for Nergal, until you realise Quintessence was mistranslated and in its place should have been Aenir’s name instead- Quintessence was called Aegir in the Japanese version, so it’s not surprising they got the two mixed up." — VincentASM, Issues (webpage), Serenesforest.net, Published: ?, Retrieved: May 5th, 2015
