Fire Emblem Heroes | The Characters of Book III

A month before the Nintendo Switch could even make its long awaited debut, Fire Emblem made the leap to mobile devices in the form of Fire Emblem Heroes. Just two months shy of the apps seventh anniversary, the game has changed in a number of ways, and its story is far from over. Book VII has not long since concluded and Book VIII has now commenced.

In celebration of the mobile application’s ongoing achievements, we’re spending seven days looking back on the books that came before it and remembering some of the main characters that were introduced in each book. Today, we’re revisiting Book III:

Fire Emblem Heroes | Book III:

The fierce battle with Múspell has ended and the Order of Heroes has returned to Askr. Not long after the party’s return, however, they were attacked by soldiers from Hel, the realm of the dead.

As Alfonse and the others struggle to repel the forces of Hel, they encounter generals of the dead plucked from history—warriors who proclaim themselves the legendary rulers Líf and Thrasir.

Meanwhile, Hel, the sovereign who rules the realm of the dead, delivers a chilling order to her daughter, the princess Eir, regarding the Order of Heroes: “Join their army. Obey them, body and soul. Give yourself to them completely. Once you earn their trust…you can slaughter them at my command.”

And thus Eir joined the Order. In her eyes, sorrow dwells deep, as she contemplates Hel’s command…
