“Sweet courtesy is ever the herald of hospitality. Will this suffice to explain my actions?”
— Kurthnaga to Ike on Nasir's ship en route to Begnion.

Kurthnaga (クルトナーガ, Kurutonāga) is the prince of Goldoa and Dheginsea's youngest child. His siblings are Rajaion and Almedha. Despite his young appearance in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Nasir told Ike that Prince Kurthnaga was possibly 100 years old, so in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, he is likely older than a century.

PersonalityEdit

Kurthnaga is a soft-spoken, well-mannered and a shy character. He is also seemingly gentle, and became frightened after seeing blood on Ike's sword.

Character HistoryEdit

Path of RadianceEdit

Ike's group meets him first in Path of Radiance while stranded in Goldoa. He assists the mercenaries by freeing the ship and sending them on their way. He is the first dragon to change the mercenaries' minds about the dragons. His kind character convinced them that dragons were actually a great species.

Radiant DawnEdit

In Radiant Dawn, he leaves Goldoa, along with Ena, to stop the war between Begnion and the laguz, and to find his sister. He first appears in Daein, as a pilgrim named Kurth who has been detained by the Begnion Occupational Army. Micaiah also calls him Kurth when he meets her outside of her Daein Base. He becomes Goldoa's new king following Dheginsea's death in the Tower of Guidance at the end of the game and helps to foster peace between the nations. It is revealed in Part IV Chapter 1 that he is hemophobic, meaning that he is afraid of blood. This is largely shown in chapter 4-1, where he refuses to fight, and cowers from Ike when he sees blood on his sword.

After the death of Dheginsea, he becomes the new king of Goldoa, and thus gains the ability Formshift for the rest of the game.

During the epilogue (when certain conditions are met), he is the only person besides Almedha to know the truth about her son.

In the end, he opens Goldoa to the rest of the continent, so that everyone can thrive in peace and Ashunera can come back to Tellius.

Death QuotesEdit

Kurthnaga:: Ugh... Gh... Im-impossible! I wasn't... This can't... Guh...

Kurthnaga:: Ugh...
Ike:: Prince Kurthnaga! Don't be a fool! Stay back!
Kurthnaga:: I... I'm sorry... I thought I could...

Kurthnaga: I am... King Deghinsea's heir! I cannot die! I have to return home... I must survive... No matter the cost...

“For..forgive me... I'll hold you back in this condition... I don't want to be hindrance. I'll rely on my own strengths...from this point on. I hope to see you again someday.”
—Kurthnaga's death quote as a NPC in chapter 3.

TriviaEdit

• Kurthnaga's name is a combination of the names of recurring character Naga and the Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War NPC Kurth.
• During A Faint Light, when Kurthnaga is given the Pilgrim class, his stats page states he is a Beorc.
• In Kurthnaga's Radiant Dawn Portrait, he is shown holding a dagger, which he has never used during the game.
• In Rebirth: 3, Kurthnaga will never be attacked by the enemy Dragon Laguz, even in retaliation to one of his attacks. Ena also cannot be attacked by the other dragons in this level. Using this as a strategy can significantly decrease the difficulty of the level, as Kurth and Ena have the ability to effortlessly defeat nearly every enemy all by themselves, especially if one of them is given the Dragonslayer skill.
• In the cutscene where he attacks Fort Nox in Part 3: Chapter 13, he is shown as large as a tower, but in battle, he is much smaller, being barely taller than a beorc. Another thing that makes this strange is the fact Ulki says Kurthnaga is far too big to be a wyvern, yet in battle, wyverns are bigger than Kurthnaga, although this could be simply to have Kurth reasonably fit in the battle screen.
