Elusia (Japanese:イルシオンIllusion) is a kingdom inFire Emblem Engage, located at the northeast of the continent ofElyos. It's a religious and sorcerous nation ruled by a wise king who pursues knowledge and wisdom.^[1]

History

Elusia, known as the kingdom of knowledge, is ruled by KingHyacinth. Elusia was given the ring of theLady of the Plains afterSombron was sealed. Although the people of Elusia were once followers of theDivine Dragon like all other countries ofElyos, in the years leading up to the events ofEngage, many Elusians have come to worship theFell Dragon instead.

In the present-day Elyos, Elusia is subject to invasions from the neighboring kingdom ofBrodia. According toAlcryst, the reason for the invasions is the perceived unpredictability of Elusia.

Firene is described as having no significant ties to Elusia due to the distance between the countries. According toBunet, Elusia has exported food toSolm before the events ofEngage.

Notable locations in Elusia

Elusia Castle

Elusia Castle

Elusia Castle is the capital of Elusia, and the home of King Hyacinth, Crown PrincessIvy, and PrincessHortensia. After the death of King Hyacinth, the castle was taken over by theFour Hounds, who would use it as their bast of operations.

After their battle, Sombron would also consume King Hyacinth to regain even more of his power. This would lead to the hooded figure, now revealed to beVeyle, stealing the six Emblem Rings Alear had managed to collect thus far, along with theDraconic Time Crystal. Despite being severely outnumbered, Alear's forces would manage to escape with the Four Hounds in hot pursuit.
