|
Laus (Japanese:ラウスLaus) is one of the marches ofLycia inFire Emblem: The Binding Blade andFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. Known by its vast meadows and clear streams, it is located in the central zone of the country, next toCaelin.
InThe Blazing Blade, LordDarin allies himself with theBlack Fang in an attempt to overthrowOstia's rule and conquer Lycia. WhenEliwood andHector approach the castle in search of explanations, Darin orders his son,Erik, to launch a full attack on them, while he, onEphidel's suggestion, leaves to invade Caelin. The people of Laus are not happy with their lord's decision, prompting one of the villages to even grant asylum toa young troubadour who is being pursued by Darin. Eventually, Erik is defeated and Darin is killed, but the Lycian League does not punish Erik and allows him to become Marquess Laus.
InThe Binding Blade, Erik has betrayed the Lycian League again, this time to side withBern. WhenRoy's army passes through Laus, Erik readily attacks them, but the Laus army proves to be no match, and Erik is finally killed.
