'''Falchion''' (Japanese: {{hover|ファルシオン|Farushion}} ''Falchion''), often referred to in dialogue as the '''Divine Falchion''' (Japanese: {{hover|聖剣ファルシオン|Seiken farushion}} ''Holy Sword Falchion''), and also known as the '''Kingsfang'''<!-- (Japanese: {{hover|ファルシオン|Farushion}} ''Falchion'')-->, is a [[regalia]] [[sword]] introduced in {{FE2}}. It was originally given to [[Duma]] by [[Naga]] upon his departure from [[Archanea (continent)|Archanea]], so that the people of [[Valentia]] would have a means to lay Duma and [[Mila]] to rest once they degenerated into madness, a fate faced by all dragons. Duma would later give the sword to Emperor [[Rudolf]] of [[Rigel]] in order to seal Mila away, setting into motion Rudolf's plan to free Valentia from the grip of the sibling gods once and for all.

==History==
==History==
In the ancient past, [[Duma]], a member of the [[Divine Dragon]] clan of [[Archanea (continent)|Archanea]], fought with the clan's ruler, [[Naga]]. Duma was defeated, and, alongside his sister [[Mila]], chose to depart Archanea. Naga knew that Mila and Duma would one day fall victim to the process of degeneration and become but mindless shadows of their true selves, a fate shared by all dragons, and so she chose to bestow one of her fangs upon Duma, in the form of Falchion, so that Duma and Mila's people would have a means to lay them to rest once they had degenerated.<ref>{{Cite|See well Falchion, which you now hold. It was carved from the fang of Naga, ruler of dragons, to sever the gods. For Naga knew there was but a creeping madness waiting at eternity's end. It is a ruin all dragons share. And the only end is one of total destruction. Thus it was that Naga bestowed Falchion upon Duma. She did so to prepare for the day our madness would drive the land to ruin, that the people might have a means to destroy us. That Falchion might become the fangs they lack... and the hope they deserve.|Mila|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia{{!}}Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> Duma and Mila left Archanea, eventually settling in [[Valentia]]. The two fought over how the people of Valentia should be treated, with Duma believing in forcing them to become strong through hardship, and Mila believing that they should be free to pursue lives of pleasure and comfort. Mila and Duma's long dispute ended with the formation of the Divine Accord, which split Valentia into [[Rigel]], ruled by Duma, and [[Zofia]], ruled by Mila, with Duma retaining possession of Falchion.

Mila and Duma's long dispute ended with the formation of the Divine Accord, which split Valentia into the nations that would come to be called [[Rigel]], ruled by Duma, and [[Zofia]], ruled by Mila, with Duma retaining possession of Falchion.


Centuries later, [[Rudolf]], the emperor of [[Rigel]], sought to end Mila and Duma's control over Valentia, having witnessed the descent of the Zofian people into hedonism, while his own people in Rigel knew only hardship and toil. He obtained Falchion from Duma, and used it to seal Mila away. Mila's corpse, with Falchion embedded in her skull, was brought to the [[Duma Temple]], which lay deep beneath Rigel Castle. Mila, knowing that the end was near for her and Duma, chose to seal Falchion away along with herself, hoping to prevent her brother from meeting the same fate.<ref>{{cite|And yet, in my foolishness, I sealed the blade away. I did it to protect my brother... I loved my brother, even as we loved mankind.|Mila|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia{{!}}Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> Rudolf then launched an invasion of Zofia, the next stage of his scheme.
Centuries later, when a pirate nation threatened Valentia, Duma formed a blood pact with a human known as [[Rigel (character)|Rigel]] and granted Falchion to him. Rigel returned Falchion after the war, but his bloodline retained the ability to use Falchion.

Seeking to end the war with Rigel, the [[Deliverance]] of Zofia, led by [[Alm]], invaded Rigel, finally clashing with Emperor Rudolf at Rigel Castle. Rudolf was defeated, and as he lay dying, he revealed the truth to Alm—that Alm was, in fact, his own son—and implored Alm to find Falchion, and use it to lay Duma, who had by then degenerated into total madness, to rest once and for all.

First game

Fire Emblem Gaiden

“ Thus it was that Naga bestowed Falchion upon Duma. She did so to prepare for the day our madness would drive the land to ruin, that the people might have a means to destroy us. That Falchion might become the fangs they lack... and the hope they deserve. ”
— Mila

Falchion (Japanese: ファルシオン Falchion), often referred to in dialogue as the Divine Falchion (Japanese: 聖剣ファルシオン Holy Sword Falchion), and also known as the Kingsfang (Japanese: ファルシオン Falchion), is a regalia sword introduced in Fire Emblem Gaiden. It was originally given to Duma by Naga upon his departure from Archanea, so that the people of Valentia would have a means to lay Duma and Mila to rest once they degenerated into madness, a fate faced by all dragons. Duma would later give the sword to Emperor Rudolf of Rigel in order to seal Mila away, setting into motion Rudolf's plan to free Valentia from the grip of the sibling gods once and for all.

History

In the ancient past, Duma, a member of the Divine Dragon clan of Archanea, fought with the clan's ruler, Naga. Duma was defeated, and, alongside his sister Mila, chose to depart Archanea. Naga knew that Mila and Duma would one day fall victim to the process of degeneration and become but mindless shadows of their true selves, a fate shared by all dragons, and so she chose to bestow one of her fangs upon Duma, in the form of Falchion, so that Duma and Mila's people would have a means to lay them to rest once they had degenerated.[1] Duma and Mila left Archanea, eventually settling in Valentia. The two fought over how the people of Valentia should be treated, with Duma believing in forcing them to become strong through hardship, and Mila believing that they should be free to pursue lives of pleasure and comfort. Mila and Duma's long dispute ended with the formation of the Divine Accord, which split Valentia into the nations that would come to be called Rigel, ruled by Duma, and Zofia, ruled by Mila, with Duma retaining possession of Falchion.

Centuries later, when a pirate nation threatened Valentia, Duma formed a blood pact with a human known as Rigel and granted Falchion to him. Rigel returned Falchion after the war, but his bloodline retained the ability to use Falchion.

Later, Rudolf, the emperor of Rigel, sought to end Mila and Duma's control over Valentia, having witnessed the descent of the Zofian people into hedonism, while his own people in Rigel knew only hardship and toil. He obtained Falchion from Duma, and used it to seal Mila away. Mila's corpse, with Falchion embedded in her skull, was brought to the Duma Temple, which lay deep beneath Rigel Castle. Mila, knowing that the end was near for her and Duma, chose to seal Falchion away along with herself, hoping to prevent her brother from meeting the same fate.[2] Rudolf then launched an invasion of Zofia, the next stage of his scheme.

Seeking to end the war with Rigel, the Deliverance of Zofia, led by Alm, invaded Rigel, finally clashing with Emperor Rudolf at Rigel Castle. Rudolf was defeated, and as he lay dying, he revealed the truth to Alm—that Alm was, in fact, his own son—and implored Alm to find Falchion, and use it to lay Duma, who had by then degenerated into total madness, to rest once and for all.

Deep within Duma Temple, in a room which could only be accessed by Rigelian royalty, Alm came across the petrified skull of Mila, with Falchion protruding from her forehead. However, he was confronted by Celica, who had been forced by Jedah to surrender her soul to Duma and become a witch, and, now under Jedah's control, she attacked Alm. Mila spoke to Alm, and told him to grasp Falchion. As soon as Alm laid hands on the sacred blade, it freed itself from Mila's skull. Mila told Alm to trust in Falchion, and Alm thrust the blade into Celica's soulless body, seemingly killing her. Mila, however, used the last of her power to revive Celica, and spoke to the two brand-bearers, telling them to use Falchion to free Duma from his madness, and to take the future of Valentia into their own hands.

At the end of Duma Temple lay the Altar of Duma, where the fell god awaited Alm with his army of followers. Alm used the sacred blade to defeat Duma, fulfilling Rudolf's final request. Duma entrusted Valentia to the care of its people, and entered into eternal rest.

It is unknown what became of the Valentian Falchion in the millennia that followed, as it does not feature in any form, nor is it mentioned at any point, in Fire Emblem Awakening.

It is a ruin all dragons share. And the only end is one of total destruction. Thus it was that Naga bestowed Falchion upon Duma.
