Chapter Text

Robin: Deliverer King
Chrom: Exalted King

As the rulers of Plegia, Robin and Chrom ushered in a new era of prosperity for the nation. The people were at first suspicious of their new Ylissean leader, but Chrom’s genuine efforts to work with everyday citizens soon won the country over. Robin became known as both a just ruler and a merciless one. Through his strength and determination, he made Plegia into a place where all people could follow their ideals. However, those who threatened, exploited, and betrayed others would quickly find themselves dead.

Emmeryn: Beloved Exalt

Emmeryn had a long, peaceful reign as the exalt of Ylisse. She often visited other nations across the world, although she could never bring herself to keep away from her own country for very long. Her people adored her, and she inspired many of them in both artistic and philosophical pursuits.

Frederick: Polite Knight
Lissa: Sprightly Cleric

Frederick and Lissa were married in Ylisstol shortly after Robin and Chrom’s wedding. Frederick spent his life serving Emmeryn as a knight, eventually becoming knight captain. Lissa often visited her husband’s charges in town. This was ostensibly for his sake, but in truth she simply loved being among the people. She regaled Emmeryn with tales from around town, and sent more than a few anecdote-filled letters to Chrom as well.

Gaius: Candy Stealer
Maribelle: Dire Damsel

Gaius never lost his love for sweets, though most sources agree that he did in fact love his wife more. Maribelle became a magistrate and worked tirelessly for justice, eventually moving to Plegia when Robin requested her aid in reforming the court system. Gaius fell in with the rough crowd but was a surprisingly decent influence, often convincing would-be criminals to abandon their plans in favor of his own half-baked shenanigans.

Miriel: Rapier Intellect
Vaike: Zero to Hero

Vaike returned to the streets, where he was welcomed as a hero and brother to all. Once a year, he would visit Chrom and Robin in Plegia to challenge them to a fight, though he lost every time. Miriel appreciated these trips as an opportunity to expand her research. Any time she could not get her findings accepted in Ylisse, she sent them to Plegia, where no one ever had any qualms about publishing them.

Cordelia: Knight Paragon
Sumia: Maid of Flowers

Cordelia continued to serve as a Pegasus Knight, and she became a figurehead for all Ylissean warriors. Sumia, on the other hand, no longer desired to spend her days fighting. Instead, she stayed home raising pegasi—many of whom would go on to work with the Pegasus Knights— and found great success telling flower fortunes.

Sully: Crimson Knight

Sully remained a knight in Emmeryn’s service, though she was always the first to volunteer if a knight was needed to go to Plegia. Her dashing figure and significant skills made her a hero to women everywhere.

Stahl: Viridian Knight

Stahl continued his service as an Ylissean knight. Despite his scatterbrained nature, he led many crucial missions—though not in Plegia, as Robin refused to entrust him with anything that could be lost or broken.

Ricken: Upcoming Mage

Fighting a war forced Ricken to mature quickly. He was mortified at how childish some of his pre-war behavior had been, and he ended up following Robin to Plegia in an attempt to distance himself from some of it. He eventually became a mage of the highest order, renowned even in the country known for producing powerful magic users.

Kellam: Forgotten Hero

Legends tell of an Ylissean spy so skilled that even his allies could not recognize him. Though he supposedly served with the Shepherds during both the conflict with Gangrel and the war with Valm, neither Chrom nor Robin could ever confirm his existence. Robin admitted, however, that he had occasionally known information that he could not remember discovering himself.

Lon’qu: Steady Blade
Olivia: Blushing Beauty

Lon’qu and Olivia returned to Regna Ferox and eventually wed. Lon’qu served as Basilio’s right hand man until the older man died, leaving Lon’qu to take over the position of West Khan. Olivia often went on missions abroad, and Lon’qu always accompanied her. Their hearts strengthened during their travels, and they began to overcome the fears that had gripped them in their youth.

Panne: Proud Taguel

Panne set out to search for other taguel survivors. She was never seen again, but nearly fifty years after the end of Emmeryn’s reign, a group of taguel appeared in Ylisstol proclaiming loyalty to the exalt.

Gregor: Swell Sword

Gregor travelled the world in search of work. There was plenty of demand for a former member of the Ylissean League, though none of his future contracts ever brought him as much excitement.

Nowi: Eternal Youth
Tharja: Dark Shadow

Nowi and Tharja settled down in Plegia, both of them finding fulfillment in Robin’s court. Nowi treated Robin as an older brother and would constantly cajole him and Chrom to lighten up and play with her. Tharja stopped her constant trailing of Robin after marrying Nowi, but she always remained devoted to him in her capacity as a sorceress. She occasionally worked with him on some dark ritual or another, though Nowi was her more usual partner.

Libra: Fetching Friar

Libra stayed in Plegia in order to remain close to Tharja, Nowi, and Henry—the dear friends he had made during the war. He established an orphanage and brought joy to many children who had nowhere else to turn. He continued to preach Naga’s word until the day he died, but more people found inspiration in Libra himself than in his goddess.

Henry: Twisted Mind

Henry spent his life in Plegia continuing to study magic. He mellowed out over the years, even becoming a surprisingly good mentor to many of Libra’s orphans. However, whenever he and Nowi spent time together, his wild side would come back out. Robin was apparently the only one who could cut their reigns of terror short.

Cherche: Wyvern Friend
Virion: Boldest Bow Knight

Cherche and Virion spent a few years in Ylisse, where they were eventually wed. When they discovered that several citizens of Rosanne were living as refugees in other Valmese nations, they returned to their old territory and began to rebuild. Through their efforts as well as those of their remaining people, the country became stronger than ever before.

Tiki: Divine Voice

Tiki remained near the Divine Dragon Grounds, though she came down to visit the people regularly. She still insisted on cultivating a friendship with Robin, and she never allowed him to use their distance or his new title as an excuse to weasel out of it

Say’ri: Blade Princess

As Queen of Chon’sin, Say’ri worked tirelessly with the other dynasts to secure a peaceful future for the continent. She visited her friends on the Ylissean continent as well, truly believing that strengthening the bonds between them would keep the world at peace.
