TheHeaven seal (Japanese:天の刻印Heaven Seal) is aclass change item which, in legitimate gameplay, is exclusive toFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. It is used to promote the game's threeLord characters,Lyn,Eliwood, andHector. Two are made available in every playthrough of Eliwood's and Hector's tales, and can be used at any time to promote the mode's two secondary Lords. The story's primary Lord is not allowed to use these two, and will instead use a third one as part of a cutscene to automatically promote at the end ofChapter 27 (29 in Hector's tale) regardless of their level.
Heaven seals also play a minor role in the story of the game.
History
Only three Heaven seals are known to have existed in Elibe. Two of them originally belonged toAthos, while the third belonged to his apprentice,Pent. Pent gave his Heaven seal to QueenHellene ofBern, a cousin of his own wifeLouise, as a wedding gift when she married KingDesmond. Hellene originally intended to save it for her son,Zephiel.[1]
WhenEliwood,Hector, andLyn approached Athos for help to defeatNergal, Athos left one of the Heaven Seals with his servant,Hawkeye, as he accompanied them to Bern to find theShrine of Seals. Hawkeye was instructed to present it to the group when he felt the time was right, but instead gave it to Pent and Louise, as he felt he could not tell when the right time occurs.[2] Pent later presented the seal to the trio at Bern Keep, when they fought off aBlack Fang band led byVaida. After saving Zephiel from assassination by the Black Fang, Hellene presented her Heaven Seal to the group as well, along with the route to the Shrine of Seals.[1]
The party's leader, Eliwood*/Hector*, tried to use these first two seals themselves, but found that the seals did not respond to him. His belief was that the seals did not find him worthy. After taking the Shrine of Seals andNinian's abduction by Nergal, Athos presented the third Heaven seal to Eliwood/Hector and insisted that he take it despite his protestations. This time, the seal responded to Eliwood/Hector and granted him power.[3][4]
