The World & FE3H

The World represents completion and fulfilment. The bright blue skies represent a feeling of optimism and triumph. It is arriving at exactly where one is meant to be after a long journey. The laurel in a circular shape shows the cycle of life, and how arriving at the end of one cycle means the beginning of another. The figure is once again surrounded by the four angelic beings, looking on with contented expressions in the Rider-Waite Smith deck. 

This crest has a special place in the world of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, as only four people have had this crest before. Sothis, Nemesis, Byleth, and Edelgard. I will focus on all except Edelgard, and try to figure out what their names mean and how they relate to The World card. (I’m excluding Edelgard only because I have already covered her in The Devil card) 

Sothis’ name is a god’s name. It is the personification of Sirius, the Dog Star, in Egyptian mythology. This star rises in the new year, when the plantings are meant to begin, and is a goddess of fertility. 

Considering Sothis in the game can heal lands and her rebirth heralds the start of a new year, we can see how the game took direct inspiration from her namesake. In terms of The World, Sothis looks to be utterly content in her abilities, mirroring the confidence of The World card. I do wish more parallels could be drawn between Sothis and Anna, considering The Fool and The World are sister cards. 

Nemesis is a goddess of revenge (how I wish they had stuck with that, and made the Nemesis in game a woman too). She represents jealousy, envy, and anger. She gave rewards for noble acts and punishment for evil ones, sometimes reserving them for future generations. Strangely, she will also punish those who have undeserved good fortune or those who showed hubris before the gods. 

This makes the name very strange in FE3H, as Nemesis the character does evil acts, and shows hubris before the gods (Sothis). Perhaps this name really should have belonged to Seiros. Or perhaps Nemesis is meant to evoke in us the archnemesis of a character. 

Finally, Byleth’s name is based off of Beleth, a king of Hell. He has legions of demons under his command and likely also helped with maths proofs? (I don’t really understand demons that much). 

Byleth’s connections to The World is the strongest, as at the end of each route, they find where they belong in the world. If they save Rhea and take their rightful place at the helm of the church or a country, they achieve fulfilment and harmony. However, if they choose to follow The Devil card, the ending of the game and their own personal ending is filled with disharmony and a sense of incompleteness -- Byleth goes back to where they started, instead of coming to a new level of understanding. 

Byleth can also connect to both Sothis and Nemesis. In the majority of routes, Byleth becomes a god, and signals the beginning of a new era. They can heal the people and the land through their leadership, just like Sothis. Just like Nemesis, Byleth can enact judgement and revenge upon either Rhea or Edelgard.

So that’s it! That’s all the major arcana and their associated crest & dragon names. I really enjoyed making all these connections, and it brought me closer to the Major Arcana deck as well!

I didn’t originally plan on it, but I will be doing the minor arcana at some point in the future. I think there are actually four factions in FE3H, so I will pair each suit with a faction, then pair each card in the suit with an event, character, or emotion from the faction/route. So if your favourite character hasn’t come up yet, they probably will in the minor arcana discussion!

As far as crests go, I do consider miracles Daisuke's crest and fate as Wallace's crest. As far as that goes, it's in part because the symbols appear only to those two even if they are summoned the same way.

#digimon adventure 02 #the symbol of miracles appears for daisuke and the symbol of fate appears for wallace #crests #crest of miracles #crest of fate #kindness -> miracles #the re-created digimental of miracles has a different symbol from the digimental of fate so the creation isn't what decides the symbol #but rather imo who's using it #digimon #motomiya daisuke #daisuke motomiya #wallace

The Futuristic Four/Modern Four Crests

Here are the crests of the four members of the modern four (aka the Futuristic Four). Violet and Wilbur were easy as they wear their icons, while for Hiro and Penny I (and a few others of the crossover) had to be creative. Before the Big Hero 6 TV series came out and gave Hiro his own icon crest, people had used his BH6 helmet as his crest in the crossover. As for Penny, some have used her binoculars as her icon, but I decided to use Bolt's mark of power from how it was also the icon of the TV show they started in together.

Fodlan “Humans”, Nabatean crests and Agarthans.

This is a theory that may be insta-debunked by 3Hopes (since I have only played the demo as of now), but I’ve just connected the dots on something: why do agarthans not give themselves crests with their magitech? 

Also, if I’m totally wrong due to new info in Hopes, I would appreciate you not telling me in comments or reblogs, because I’m trying to avoid Three Hopes spoilers.

I think that it’s related to their disdain for Fodlan surface people, whom they call “beasts” the same way the do to the Nabateans. According to the lore we got on Sothis and the original Agarthans, Sothis is a space dragon who arrived to the world of Fodlan in ancient times, spawned the Nabatean race as minor dragons, and pretty much took over the continent from the original human society, the Agarthans.  The lore is somewhat vague about the whys and hows, but the Nabateans and the Agarthans ended up going to a war that the Nabateans won, Sothis flooded the world, and the surviving Agarthans hid underground. 

And, after that happened, Sothis repopulated the continent by creating the “humans” of Fodlan. Who would actually have been dragon-created homunculi, much like Sitri was. Artificial creations made by a dragon trying to imitate a human being. That’s why only humans who are ethnically Fodlani or have Fodlani blood can have crests. And it’s also the reason why the Agarthans don’t treat them as human beings, but as “beasts” created by Sothis, the Fell Star. 

If you look at who has crests and who doesn’t, everyone who has a natural crest or has acquired a crest is ethnically Fodlani or has Fodlani blood. Crest are likely a genetic trait derived from dragons. Sothis is the original Major Dragon, the Nabateans are Minor Dragons with less powerful but still natural and unique crests, and I think that humans from Fodlan (homunculi), at base level, don’t have crests, but if they come into contact with purer draconic blood, they have some kind of dormant “crest factor” that activates the Major Crest of the Nabatean whose blood they entered in contact with. And once a homunculi has gained a major crest through contact, said crest is inherited through the homunculi’s bloodline, but “weaker” and more diluted with each generation. 

So dragons are born naturally with one major crest, and Fodlan humans can acquire any crest through contact with Nabatean blood. But that can usually only happen once, it’s impossible for them to naturally gain more than one crest. Nemesis and the Elites were likely an experiment on whether a Fodlan human could take a crest by force from a dying or dead dragon. Lysithea was an experiment on whether humans could acquire a second crest if they already had inherited one. And the Hresvelgs were likely chosen to be the Crest of Flames experiments because they are the descendants of Wilhelm von Hresvelg and Seiros (as Rhea confirms in the Hopes demo in Edelgard’s route), which would have made them more compatible with THE original Crest, the Crest of Flames, than other crest-carrying bloodlines. 

Shez is also most likely related to Agartha in some way, most likely as an Agarthan equivalent of either Byleth or Robin from Awakening. And the interesting thing about Shez is that both Linhardt and Hanneman initially believe that Shez most likely has a crest, but Hanneman thoroughly checked and the result still came negative. Which means that Arval, who is most likely an Agarthan “god” does not have a crest connected to him the way Sothis and the Crest of Flames are. 

Because crests are biologically incompatible with original humans like the Agarthans, you need to be a major dragon (Sothis) a minor dragon (the nabateans) or a dragon made-homunculi (the Fodlan “humans”) to be compatible with crests.

The Nega-Destined

So, some time ago, I had an idea for a version of Digimon Adventure (and tangentially 02) where everything was inverted. The antagonists were all holy Digimon (Angemon, HolyAngemon, the Sovereigns; except Etemon, because he’s Etemon), while the Chosen were evil.

And part of doing this was I reversed the Crests and the way they worked. Instead of having to embody the Crest’s virtue, they have to make others feel the Crest’s... sin? It’s not a virtue anymore, but it’s also not a vice for most of them. I dunno, there’s no clean word.

It was a ways after I came up with the idea that I also decided that I should age up the Chosen for this just because of one of these Dark Crests.

So, the Dark Crests are:

The Crest of Fear

The Crest of Loneliness

The Crest of Ignorance

The Crest of Lust (this is the one that requires the age-up)

The Crest of Hate

The Crest of Faithlessness

The Crest of Despair (and that is just the Black Mana symbol)

The Crest of Darkness

And then the two Crests that appear in Adventure 02:

The Crest of Cruelty

The Crest of Tragedy

I also have images on my computer for the altered evolution lines of the Chosen Partners in this Mirror Universe thing. Might add that as a reblog at some point.

Strixhaven Crest by Phillasaur

The Devil & FE3H

Contrary to how the card looks, The Devil is not actually about the devil sitting upon a stool in the back of the card, but about the two figures in front of it. A foil to The Lovers card, The Devil symbolises forced restraint and perceived powerlessness -- in other words, a lack of choice. 

The chains upon the two people’s heads are fitted loosely around their necks, showing that it’s a trick. The Devil tricks them into thinking they are stuck, but they can easily slip the chains from over their heads and escape. The problem is that both of them have succumbed to their basest instincts, shown by the horns upon their heads, and have fallen to addictions of pleasure and power, as symbolised by the tails of fruit and fire respectively. 

The crest associated with this card is the Crest of Maurice. The name itself likely belongs to the last Byzantine Emperor. His reign was troubled by constant warfare, most likely because that was the only thing he was good at. By keeping his people focused on wars, which he excelled at, they would ignore his other shortcomings. 

During battles, he was fierce and brilliant. He united a fractured Byzantine Empire. However, during peacetime, he was a poor ruler and his reign struggled financially. He made policies that did not keep the people’s needs in mind, leading to his citizens and military rebelling against him. 

The dragon associated with this crest is the Storm Dragon. This name could be alluding to the god of thunder, lightning, and storms. The problem with storms is that they are often necessary to bring rain. However, in their wake they can leave chaos and destruction. So storms can be balanced out in terms of the good and bad they bring to the world. 

In my mind, the Storm Dragon would be a cloudlike being that flies through the sky. Maybe its most prominent features would be its large black wings that darken the sky when an oncoming storm is near. 

Instead of connecting all these things to a bearer of the crest, I actually think Edelgard von Hresvelg is a better fit. Edelgard frequently alludes to herself as being trapped by Agarthan forces, being forced to do things she would never do. However, she actually has all the power to strike back against them. She is simply too focused on the power they bring her to do so. On the other hand, Edelgard is like the devil herself, tempting or manipulating others to her side with the promise of power (as she does for Ferdinand) or the promise of her love (as she does for Byleth). 

Maurice is also a good fit for the type of reign that Edelgard has on Adrestia. She brought harmony to Adrestia by taking the power of the nobles. And if she succeeds in her war of conquest, she will be seen as bringing Fòdlan back together in the history books. However, Edelgard gives little thought to the state of the world in peacetime. She does not consider the common citizen, starving them and using them in Agarthan experiments. She does not consider how a meritocracy could ever be fair, leaving Ferdinand to point out that free education must be necessary, otherwise the meritocracy would be nothing but a joke. Not only that, but her new weapon bears the Crest of Maurice, giving an indication that the writers may have meant for her to be connected to these ideas. 

Finally, the Storm Dragon seems to suggest Edelgard’s violent rule. While some may consider her conquest necessary or inevitable, it is destructive and the echoes of chaos will be felt for many generations. 

Personally, I think the writers did a fantastic job linking Edelgard to The Devil card, even more so than a reversed The High Priestess card. But what do you think? Could Marianne have filled these tough breeches as well as Edelgard?
