Module:ChapChars

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.

Contains three functions for use with {{ChapChars}}: newunits manages the new unit tables, and oldunits manages the required, available, and undeployable character sections; additionally, returning is a deprecated function that is no longer used.
