Summary
Fire Emblem is a tactical RPG which takes place in multiple medieval fantasy settings. Most of the games feature different characters and locations, but all still exist in the same multiverse.
Most Fire Emblem games take place in the Archanean timeline or Marth's timeline; this includes the FE 1-5 for the Famicom/Super Famicom games and FE 11-15 for the Nintendo DS/3DS, with notes that some of those are remakes. It consists of the two Continents Archanea and Valentia, later renamed Ylisse and Valm respectively. It is also home to Jugdral, but it is unclear whether it is a past self of Archanea or another Continent altogether. Chronologically, it begins with Naga, the Queen of the Divine Dragons, being the first ruler of the world. She carved the Falchion with her fangs, which later becomes in important plot point throughout this timeline as it's the occuring weapon used to slay Dark Dragons such as Medeus, Duma, and Grima.
FE 6-7 for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance have their own timeline, often called the Elibean timeline or Roy's timeline; taking place on the Continent of Elibe. This is home to Fire Dragons and humans who once lived in harmony a thousand years ago, before war broke out between them; and the dangerous used of the Divine Weapons brought the Dragons to ruin. However, there is given new hope that Dragons and humans can one day live together again in harmony.
FE 8 for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance is the first game in the series to be a stand-alone game. Known simply as the Magvel timeline or Sacred Stones, it features a Demon King who was sealed away by the Sacred Stones 800 years prior to the main games events. The Demon King later manages to possess a Prince, Lyon of Grado, and later plans to destroy the Sacred Stones and resurrect himself.
FE 9-10 for the Gamecube/Wii are often referred to as Ike's timeline or the Tellian timeline; it takes place on Tellius. It was created by a Goddess named Ashunera and was once global, but the Chaos within her began to cause a massive flood that destroyed all but one Continent. She later split into the two goddesses Yune and Ashera. They are sister goddesses equal in power, but opposites in every other way. Yune was a free-spirited goddess who loved both Beorc and Laguz, but had little to no self-control over her powers. Ashera on the other hand was a Goddess of Order, who valued perfection and discipline above all else, and had no love for any life due to being the primary cause of chaos. This has caused numerous continental wars until they one day reunited and became Ashunera.
The more recent Three Houses for the Nintendo Switch takes place on the Continent of Fodlan. Thousands of years before the events of the game, the Goddess of Fodlan, Sothis descended from a faraway place. She shared her knowledge with the people of the land, the Agarthans, and gave her blood to birth her own children. However, the Agarthans eventually began to think of themselves as gods, and turned against Sothis. The ensuing war caused most of the humans to die off, with a group of survivors escaping underground. Eventually, Sothis was able to heal the war-torn planet, and having fulfilled her duty, she fell into a deep slumber in the Holy Tomb.
Power of the Verse
While the power of the verse can greatly vary, the verse is much more powerful than one would expect. Fodder characters in most Fire Emblem games have been known to withstand the Meteor tome, which packs Town levels of destruction. Except for the GBA characters fodder, who should still be Large Building level due to being able to cast Fimbulvetr and trade blows with enemies on similar power levels.
There are many large dragons in the games like Anankos which have been shown destroying large castle towers, and destroying islands, and the stronger endgame bosses such as Fomortiis are seen as threats to casually destroy entire countries.
In the Tellius games, most characters are Small City level via Rexbolt. The most powerful character in the Tellius timeline, Ashunera is Multi-Continent level via flooding the entire world except for one continent. However, Yune, one half of Ashunera, seems to be capable of replicating this feat as well. Characters such as Ike and Micaiah both have the power of Yune, and thus scale to this rating. Similarly, in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Sothis performs a similar feat of flooding the world, and thus, also scales to Multi-Continent level.
Fire Emblem Heroes features the most powerful characters in any of the mainline entries, with characters reaching Multiverse level+ via scaling to the Tempest and Freyja, both being able to destroy, merge, or manipulate infinite worlds. The most powerful entity in Fire Emblem, Alfaðör, supposedly created all of the existence. However, he has yet to make an appearance.
The spinoff games also feature very powerful characters. In Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, characters reach Low Multiverse level via scaling to Medeus, who could create an earthquake that affected two universes. Fire Emblem Warriors has Velezark the Chaos Dragon, a being who can bend all time and space, distort the fabric of reality, and consume entire worlds and dimensions.
A typical Fire Emblem character should have Massively Hypersonic combat speed and reactions as many of them can dodge arrows, cloud to ground lightning attacks, and meteors on a regular basis. Also, the sword master attack animations in some games show them moving faster than the eye can see and casting several after images. In Three Houses, the god tiers even have Faster than Light showings.
