Legacy of Archanea
| ||||||||
|
Legacy of Archanea is a book included in the 30th Anniversary Edition of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light; it is not available to purchase separately. Text in the book is in both English and French.
Overview
The book is primarily an art book, though two sections ("The World of Shadow Dragon" and "Fire Emblem: Archanea Saga") contain text beyond just an introduction.
The first section, "The World of Shadow Dragon", features a timeline of Archanea, an overview of the games' backstory, a page describing the different countries, and several pages summarizing the plot of Shadow Dragon with images of each battle map, images of the route Marth took, and CG images from Shadow Dragon.
The Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Mystery of the Emblem sections feature brief introductions of the games and a few pages with collages of the game's manual artwork on solid color backgrounds. The Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light part divides characters by place of origin and labels each character, while the Mystery of the Emblem section does not.
The Archanea Saga section has text explaining what the Satellaview is and some basic information about the game with artwork by Rika Suzuki. It also features summaries of each chapter's plot with the CG images from the game.
The Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem sections feature brief introductions of the games and about one to three pieces of character artwork per page.
The "Beyond Archanea" section begins by showing every Fire Emblem video game released up to that point with images of their main characters, their Japanese logos, their Japanese and American release dates, and what console they released on. Then, it explains that some characters from the Archanean games appeared in other titles: namely Gaiden, Echoes, Awakening, and Fates.
The Trading Card Game section features a short introduction to the card game along with one to three pieces of character artwork per page, with each character being given an epithet; most of these epithets are taken from Shadow Dragon or Heroes when applicable.
The Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. section has a brief introduction and one page with artwork of Marth, Lucina, Robin, and Ike from the game, featuring their main artwork along with various expressions.
The Fire Emblem Heroes section features a brief introduction with artwork of many Archanean characters with one character per page. These pages feature their main art, their attacking artwork, and their special activation artwork.
The final section, the Cipher section, features a brief introduction along with one character per page. One of the pages folds out so that all three Whitewings (Palla, Catria, and Est) and all three Fighters (Bord, Barst, and Cord) can be seen at once on either side of that page.
