Who Should I Give the Spear of Assal?
In the world of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the Spear of Assal is a powerful artifact that holds significant importance for the members of the Scarlet Blade and the Black Eagle House. As the Lord of Nifl of the Loyalists and the Spear of Assal’s descendant, Seteth is closely tied to this legendary artifact. However, the spear’s true owner is believed to be Ferdinant, the Lord of Verdigris and another descendant of the Spear’s original owner.
Why the Spear Matters
The Spear of Assal is not just a decorative item but a powerful force that serves as a focus for regeneration abilities and magical energy. As Ferdinand’s birthright, it is integral to his lineage and, by extension, the continuation of the Crest of Verdigris line. Ferdinand’s bond to the Crest of Verdigris further solidifies the connection to the Spear and its potency.
A Brief Look at the Crimson Blade’s History
Understanding the origins of the Scarlet Blade’s history and significance is vital in determining the Spear of Assal’s rightful owner. Three Houses introduces the concept of Crests, which serves as hereditary symbols associated with an individual’s innate abilities or talents. With this new understanding, let’s delve into the story behind the Sword of Assal. The sword serves as a sacred vessel channeling the god’s divine wrath during the war-torn history of the Grannvale Empire.
The Inheritance of Ferdinant’s Crest
Within the novel, Ferdinant’s line is said to be carrying the Crest of Verdigris, demonstrating a closer connection to the origin of the Scarleit. To further explain, the Crescents embody the elemental bonds of its respective House, such as the Sacred Flame for Aegyl and the Blue Flame of the Goddess in the Fódlan region.
Why Should I Not Give the Spear to the Black Eagle?
Upon closer examination of the two Houses, a clear bias towards the Crimson Blade becomes apparent: Nifl stands as the birthright of Verdigris within the sacred lands of Sothisa. As heir to Assal’s family, both Seteth’s and Nifl being the crest of the loyalists suggest a connection rooted in trust and protection given to allies. Considering the Crimson Bladde’s bond between the lineages, passing the Spear’s power from Seteth, the noble Lord of Nifl, it is obvious that only Ferdinant has true claim for the Spear due to it being a piece of inheritance from the ancestral line connected to the blade.
By understanding the interplay of Crests within the Sacred Flame and connecting the legacy of Verdigris (the crest linked to its lineage) a clear explanation for why Nifl and Verdigris holds a strong emphasis on regenerative powers given the ancestral line and Verdigris’ direct ownership of Seteth, indicating that these are unbreakable bonds (the scarlet blade for the Blue Flame). Considering the shared bond between Sets and Loyalists ties to Fódlan, providing the spear without a further understanding of a connection beyond loyalty will overlook the weight of Ferdinands’ birthright.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Spear of Assal does not fall under the claim of a single House and should not be given to the Black Eagle House without knowing the direct connection to either Seteth or Ferdinands’ lineage. The Spear and its true worth lie within, as you have come to understand during this exploration; the question now remains- with whom should the precious artifact be?
