Trivia
- InAwakening, the Lodestar shares its battle model and map sprite withLucina's version of theLord class, which itself is meant to be dressed as Marth in the first place.
- The card gameFire Emblem Cipher andFire Emblem Warriors both use the Lodestar as Marth'spromoted class, since he was unable to promote in his own games but the mechanics ofCipher andWarriors require that he is able to promote.
Etymology and other languages

| Language | Name | Definition, etymology, and notes |
| English | Lodestar | Literally speaking, a lodestar is an actual star used as a navigational reference. Metaphorically speaking, a lodestar is a guiding principle, like Marth's influence on the future ofArchanea. Additionally, "lodestar" is phonetically similar to an inversion of the syllables of "Star Lord", the class's Japanese name. |
| Japanese | スターロード | Star Lord. From "Star Lord", an affectionate title given to Marth by the people ofAltea; prior toAwakening, the closest English equivalent to this term was "star and savior", the English translation of the term "Star Lord Marth" inShadow Dragon. |
| Spanish | Polaris | FromPolaris, the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor, which was historically used as a literal lodestar in world navigation. |
