Biography
In the year−10 AC, millennia after the collapse of thedragonkin civilization, Adrah entered theFane of Raman and stole four items: theBinding Shield,Gradivus,Mercurius, andParthia.[1] Adrah removed the five spheres from the Binding Shield and sold them, using the funds to raise an army.[1] Wielding the three weapons which would later become theThree Regalia of Archanea, within ten years[2] he had conquered the entire region and unified the city-states which were set among the dragon's ruins under his rule, declaring himself king.[3] He kept the orbless remains of the Binding Shield as the crest of the kingdom,[1] now known as theFire Emblem.
Trivia
- Any mention of Adrah being a thief was removed fromNew Mystery of the Emblem for unknown reasons.
- Prior to being corrected,[when?] the Meet the Heroes entry onMedeus: Earth-Dragon King incorrectly attributed the start of theWar of Liberation directly to Adrah robbing the Fane of Raman.[4]
