Seliph's Holy Blood chart, marking his major Baldo and minor Naga blood.

The Holy Blood system is a gameplay mechanic of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and a story element of both it and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. It deals with the genealogy of the descendants of the Twelve Crusaders and the ability to inherit their "holy blood", the connection with the dragon gods bestowed upon the Crusaders at the Miracle of Darna. Possession of holy blood increases the combat abilities of an individual and allows them to wield the holy weapon of their ancestors.

There are thirteen lines of holy blood: the twelve of the Crusaders themselves, and that of their enemy Loptous, passed on through the emperors of the Lopt Empire and linked into the modern day by Saint Maira. The lineages of the Crusaders were preserved through their assembly of various kingdoms and noble houses across Jugdral, while the descendants of Maira secluded themselves into Verdane's Spirit Forest to prevent the Loptous bloodline from influencing the world. Most of the lines are simply named for their Crusader originator, for example "Baldo blood" for the lineage of Baldo; the exceptions are Heim and Sety's lineages, which are instead named for the dragons with whom they blood-bonded, Naga and Holsety.

Holy blood manifests in two distinct forms: minor blood and major blood. While both carry power, minor blood carries signficantly less. Possession of major blood grants an individual the ability to wield the holy weapon of their Crusader ancestor, whereas minor blood does not. Generally, even in direct lineage, major blood is significantly rarer and, in groups of children of a given bearer of major blood, will often only manifest in just one of the children, with no criteria as to on which child it will manifest[1]. Major holy blood in children will manifest either if one parent possessed major blood themselves, or if both parents possessed the same type of minor blood; Manfroy of the Lopt Sect used the latter to his advantage in the sect's scheme to revive the Loptous lineage, by having two bearers of minor Loptous blood reproduce to produce a child bearing major Loptous blood, able to wield the tome and become a vessel for the dark god.

Possession of holy blood manifests physically by the appearance of "holy markings" on the bodies of their possessors, appearing at a varying point in their life[2]. Diadora, who possessed major Naga blood, bore a mark on her forehead which was typically hidden by her circlet; Galzus and Mareeta, who possess major Odo blood, bear marks on their backs. The people of some countries, like Agustria, have historically taken advantage of this in witch hunts to find and burn bearers of Loptous blood, though generally unsuccessfully[3]; for this reason, Alvis was always careful of hiding his Loptous mark.

Mechanics

Inheritance

For the second generation, a child unit will, unlike the lore might suggest, inherit all of the holy blood types held by both of their parents. A child will always inherit at least minor holy blood of these blood types; to inherit major holy blood, one of a handful of circumstances will allow them to do so:

  • If parent of the same sex as the child has major blood, the child will also have it.
    • Exeption to this rule are the children of Brigid and Ethlin. Former's son will always inherit her major Ulir blood and if her husband has major blood, it will be inherited by her daughter instead. As for Ethlin, her daughter will always inherit her husband's major Noba blood while her son will only have minor Noba.
  • If both of their parents possessed the same type of minor holy blood, the child will have major holy blood.
  • Aless and Shanan are fixed characters, completely independent of the love and inheritance system, and will always have major Hezul and Odo blood respectively. From a story perspective, both fit the first criteria: Aless's father was Eltshan (major Hezul), while Shanan's father was Mariccle (major Odo), and neither of their mothers had any holy blood of their own.
  • The parents of Seliph and Yuria are fixed, and so they will always inherit from their parents the major holy blood matching their weapon type (Baldo and Naga respectively). Additionally, neither will inherit Loptous blood from their mother or, in Yuria's case, her father.

With major holy blood, there is some inconsistency in the ability to use their matching holy weapon Lakche and Skasaher are both Swordfighters, and if Holyn (who has minor Odo just like their mother) is their father, both will inherit major Odo blood. However only their cousin Shanan is allowed to use the matching holy weapon). Also even if character had the needed major blood to wield a holy weapon, they can't wield it unless their class is able to use its weapon type.

While all holy blood types except Dain are available in playable units, there are five where it is impossible for a player unit to have major holy blood. No playable unit can have major Tordo, Fala, Neir, Dain or Loptous holy blood, as there is either no access to parent units who possess major holy blood of these types or because there is no access to two parent units of different genders who both possess minor holy blood of these types.

Substitute units, of course, do not inherit anything as they are static characters who are not the product of playable parent units being paired up. Linda and Amid are the only substitute units to possess any holy blood at all (both have minor Tordo), for story reasons to adequately fulfill their role as substitutes for Teeny and Arthur.

Growth rates

Each type of holy blood is associated with a set of growth rate bonuses, with each totalling up to a 50% overall bonus. A unit in possession of minor holy blood in a bloodline will have these growth rates added to their own base growth rates; for example, Ira possesses minor Odo holy blood, so she gains a further 20% HP growth and 30% Skill growth added on top of her own base growth rates of 50% HP and 30 % Skill.

The same principle applies for units in possession of major holy blood; however, the growth rate bonuses are doubled for such units. For example: Lakche, Ira's daughter, will by default inherit minor Odo holy blood from her mother and will gain the +20% HP and +30% Skill bonuses. However, if Holyn (minor Odo) is her father, she will instead inherit major Odo holy blood, doubling the bonuses given to +40% HP and +60% Skill.

The growth rate bonuses will stack, so units in possession of multiple holy blood types will gain the growth bonuses from both types. For example: if Lakche's father is Lex, Lakche will inherit minor Neir as well as minor Odo, giving her the stacked bonuses of +40 HP, +30 Skill and +30 Defence.

Weapon ranks

As a general rule, a unit in possession of a line of holy blood will receive an increased weapon rank in the line's matching weapon type if they are capable of using said matching weapon type in their base class. For example: Patty (minor Ulir blood by default) will receive an increase in her sword rank if Holyn (minor Odo) is her father as she, a Thief, is capable of using swords, but she will not receive an increase in her wind magic rank if Levn (major Holsety) is her father because she is not capable of using Wind magic to begin with.

If this criteria is met, a unit in possession of minor holy blood will have their matching weapon rank increased one rank from its base value, and a unit in possession of major holy blood will possess a ★ rank in their matching weapon type, granting them access to the matching holy weapon. For example: Teeny and Arthur both normally possess a C rank in wind magic. If Levn is their father, both will inherit his Holsety blood, but only Arthur will receive major blood while Teeny will receive minor blood, as above. If this is the case, Teeny will possess a B rank in wind magic because of her minor blood, while Arthur will receive a ★ rank because of his major blood, allowing him to use the Holsety tome.

If children obtain new weapon types upon promoting, they will also gain their rank boosts. Also if character's already existing weapon rank changes when promoting, their rank boost will added to their new base rank. So if Arthur with Holyn as dad (resulting minor Odo and Tordo bloods) who normally have C rank in Fire, Wind and Thunder magic, would now have B rank in Thunder magic instead (base rank C + 1 from minor Tordo) before promotion. After promotion he would normally have B rank in Swords, Thunder, Fire and WInd but now has A in swords and Thunder instead.

Note: A bold name means that character possesses major blood, while an italics name marks a nonplayable character, or a character unseen in the gameplay of Seisen no Keifu who has been confirmed to possess that holy blood by other material like Thracia 776 or official artbooks explaining backstory.

References

  1. "Additionally, it doesn't matter if the person is the eldest child or if they're male, there is no rule, so often there are occasions where the direct family has no successors of the holy weapons. For instance, the Nodion Royal Family are all branch descendants of Black Knight Hezul (the direct descendants are the Agusty Royal Family), but they are the sole inheritors of the pact-forming blood (of Hezul who formed a patch with the dragon tribe) that allows them to wield Mistolteen." - Designers' notes from a Seisen no Keifu playing guide, as translated by Serenes Forest
  2. "A mark known as a "holy marking" surfaces on their bodies, which is the proof of forming a blood pact with the dragon tribe. Although, the time of appearance of the holy markings differs wildly for each person, sometimes appearing during their youth or even when they're in their old age." - Designers' notes from a Seisen no Keifu playing guide, as translated by Serenes Forest
  3. "I wonder if there still are any blood relatives of the Dark Lord Loptous around... Each year big towns like Agusty and Mackily hold witch hunts and arrest a ton of people. Then they burn 'em at the stake for doin' what? Absolutely nothin'! Is that nuts or what!?" — A villager, Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu
