Trivia

• The map ofParalogue 2 ofFire Emblem Awakening is a recreation of the area around the second-westernmost village in this chapter.
• As an armored unit,Arden is entirely unable to cross the mountainterrain on the path to Silesse castle altogether. As a result, it is impossible for him to fight the Zaxon forces without seizing Silesse castle first and warping him there, or makingAzelle andEdain lovers and using theRescue staff to get him past the mountains.
