Type Item (The Sacred Stones) Type B Skill (Heroes) Skill (sync) (Engage) First game Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

The Solar Brace (Japanese: 太陽の腕輪 Sun Bracelet) is a class change item exclusive to Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. It is used to promote the lord character Ephraim, and prior to this point is worn by him throughout the game's events and plays a relatively large role in the game's plot.

Rather than an item, in Fire Emblem Heroes it appears as the B-slot skill for Ephraim's "Legendary Lord" variation. In Fire Emblem Engage, it is a skill granted by Emblem Ephraim.

History

The Solar Brace is one of two keys to the seal which protected the Sacred Stone of Renais and the country's Sacred Twin weapons, Siegmund and Sieglinde; the other key is the Solar Brace's twin, the Lunar Brace worn by his sister Eirika. The Solar Brace was worn by Ephraim as a gift from his father, King Fado, who never told him or Eirika of the bracelets' significance; unlike Eirika, Ephraim would not learn the truth about it from Seth until much later. When the war with Grado began, one of the missions of Grado's army was to seize the bracelets from Eirika and Ephraim so they could steal the Stone. After recapturing Renais from the traitor Orson, Eirika and Ephraim used the two braces to unlock the Sacred Stone and weapons, and the light of the Stone empowered the bracelets to allow the two to change class.
