History

History of the Fane of Raman in this section is kept to a minimum. For more information regarding it specifically, seeFane of Raman § History.

During theWar of Shadows, theArchanean League, in followingGotoh's words, set off for Chiasmir's Fane of Raman after reclaimingAltea. Blocking their path was theSable Order at Chiasmir Bridge and the land below; led bySternlin, who guarded the fane.Marth's forces prevailed to then make their way into the temple.

During the outbreak of theWar of Heroes in A.C. 607,^[4] the Altean army made their move back to their homeland afterArchanea seized Altea by force during their absence. FromGrust, they traveled to Chiasmir along with plans to visit the Fane of Raman atWendell's behest. Upon reaching Chiasmir, spotted were various thieves in the forest evacuating with good stolen from the fane, as well as Archanea'sfree company who were occupying Chiasmir Bridge's entrance near some fortresses. Prior to Altea's arrival,Phina was also separated from her troupe and got lost in the forest. Those same bandits then attacked her, but she was saved byNavarre around when Marth's army appeared.

After their detour at the Fane of Raman, the Altean army makes for Chiasmir Bridge but was then found surrounded by Archanean forces. To the bridges' north was Archanea's emperorHardin commanding the opposing forces, readying them to attack Marth's army. From the north also approachedCain, who informed Marth of a boat to the north: ready to take him away from Hardin's trap toKhadein. Altea succeeds in passing the rest of Chiasmir Bridge and reaching the boat, leaving Hardin behind.
