For the skill fromEngage, seeGeosphere (skill).

TheGeosphere (Japanese:大地のオーブEarth Orb), later known asVert (Japanese:碧炎Green Flame) in the era of Ylisse,^[1] is one of the fiveorbs of theBinding Shield fromArchanea. It's original usage was to deal damage to every unit on the map excluding its wielder.Mystery of the Emblem gave the Geosphere an additional usage, to boost theaccuracy andcritical rate of units nearby its wielder even when broken and unable to utilize its primary usage. Book 2 ofMystery of the Emblem has it already broken when obtained, andNew Mystery of the Emblem similarly has it only boost the critical rate of units near its wielder.

At some time after the Schism and the breakage of the Fire Emblem, the Geosphere—now called Vert—entered the possession of theChon'sin royal family and remained with them until it was looted by the forces of theValmese Empire underWalhart.^[2] Vert was recovered from Valm after Walhart's defeat, andSay'ri entrusted it toChrom ofYlisse for his mission to restore the Fire Emblem.
