Lycia
From Fire Emblem Wiki
Lycia, or the Lycian League, is a region in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken and Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi. It was founded by one of the Eight Legends: Roland the Champion, wielder of Durandal, the Blazing Sword. Lycia is a federation of various territories ruled by powerful marquesses. Important houses like house Ostia, house Caelin and house Pherae are found in Lycia.
[edit] Lycian Territories
Lycia consists of over 15 noble houses, each of which ruled over a certain area within Lycia, thus its title of the Lycian League. These noble houses are: Ostia, Pherae, Laus, Cornwell, Badon, Worde, Ryerde, Caelin, Santaruz, Tania, Thria, Khathelet, Tuscana, and Araphen.
Sometime before the events of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, House Cornwell was destroyed and its land divided up among other nearby Lycian Territories. This was due to suspected corruption within House Cornwell, although this was later shown to have been untrue.
Also, upon the end of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, House Caelin was merged with house Ostia. This was due to (depending on Lyn's ending) either Lyn marrying Hector or Eliwood and living with them in their territory, or when she returned to the Sacae plains in her normal ending.
If Roy and Lilina marry at the end of Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi, Lycia will be united into a powerful kingdom with the union of House Pherae and House Ostia
[edit] Geography
Being centrally located, Lycia is found west of Bern. Bandits from the mountains of western Bern rarely enter into Lycian territory. West of Lycia is the kingdom of Etruria, the country of origin of characters like Pent and Louise. The southern part of Lycia finds itself along a long lateral region. Lycia is located to the far south of Ilia and to the immediate south of Sacae. Lycia is north of Valor, the Dread Isle. Within Lycia itself, Ostia is found to the north-west and Pherae, to southeast.
[edit] Etymology
The Lycian league was the world's first federation, and is located in present day Turkey. Many European languages are based off of Lycian.
