Naesala (Japanese:ネサラNeasala) is the king of the ravenlaguz, in the kingdom ofKilvas. He andTibarn both protect the Heron siblings,Reyson andLeanne. He and Tibarn often disagree as Naesala seems to care more about money and himself than his people. His assistant,Nealuchi, is an older raven who treats him like a son.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Role

Naesala is introduced in Chapter 13:A Guiding Wind, as the king ofKilvas, and of theRaven laguz tribe, though his subjects appear in the prior chapter. His kingdom is well-known for their pillaging of ships, and Naesala in particular is a crafty swindler, charging outrageous fees for his services, which usually put his clients in bad positions. In Chapter 13 in particular, he 'helps' a team of soldiers fromDaein to disguise themselves as common pirates and pursue the ship carrying theGreil Mercenaries, but ends up leading them into aBegnion envoy carrying the ApostleSanaki and herPegasus Knights instead. Once the ships clash, Naesala offers to help the disguised Daein soldiers fight them off, but only if they pay an extortionate fee. After they refuse, he simply watches the fight from a distance, then sends in troops to steal from the ships while their armies are distracted.

Later on, a meeting takes place between all of the laguz kings, which Naesala attends. There, he explains his intention to expand his kingdom by any means necessary, including deals with thebeorc, which upsets the hawk clan, and heron princeReyson, who despise all beorc for their role in theSerenes Massacre. Meanwhile, dragon kingDheginsea warns Naesala about the dangers of ruthless expansion, and reminds him ofLehran's Medallion, which could be disturbed if full-scale conflict were to erupt.

After the meeting, Reyson visitsKilvas unannounced to find Naesala and try to dissuade him from further deals with the beorc. Naesala informs him that while he shares no good will toward beorc either, his goals require further deals with them, which leaves Reyson bemused. At the same time, one of the high senators fromBegnion,Oliver, Duke ofTanas, appears in Kilvas to pay Naesala for prior services involving the theft of art from one ofLekain's ships. However, upon spotting Reyson, Oliver wishes Naesala to deliver the heron prince to him, in exchange for doubling his normal fee, and they draw their plans without Reyson's knowhow.

Eventually, Naesala takes Reyson to the burned remains ofSerenes Forest to initiate his plan to sell him. When Reyson sees what is left of his homeland, he despairs, and Naesala uses it as an opportunity to regain Reyson's trust, playing into the narrative of how the beorc were unworthy of respect, and how he planned to undo them for their destruction of the forest. At the same time, he convinces Reyson to hide for the night in a nearby mansion, which happens to be Oliver's residence. There, Naesala leaves Reyson for Oliver to capture.

After Ike's troops begin their march into Daein, having gained Reyson and the hawks as allies, they run into Naesala again, who has allied with the Daein army in exchange for large sums of gold. In Chapter 19:Entrusted, Naesala himself takes to the field, posing a great threat to the invading forces. However, after seeing Reyson on the battlefield, he goes to speak with him, trying to make amends for what he did earlier. Reyson only forgives him because the situation of being captured lead him to eventually find his sisterLeanne in the forest and find allies in Ike and his associates. After that point, Naesala and his army leave Daein behind, effectively betraying them again.

Naesala does not appear again until near the end of the story, in Chapter 28:Twisted Tower. There, he disguises himself as a common soldier in Daein's army in order to rescueLeanne, who had been captured by theBlack Knight and kept byIzuka. Upon seeing what Izuka had done to laguz captives in the tower's basement, he formally joins with Ike and the other laguz nations in order to finally put an end to Daein's army.

In the final chapter,Repatriation, Naesala is one of the three units that Ike can choose as backup to help defeat Mad KingAshnard. This is the only point in the game when he is playable. Once Daein is finally defeated, Naesala and the other laguz forces return to their respective nations, not playing a major role again until the events ofRadiant Dawn.

Analysis

Naesala is a laguz royal that the player can pick out of three during the last chapter and is one of few units able to damage Ashnard. He can equip the Laguz Band, so he can always stay transformed. He is the fastest playable unit in the game with extremely high avoid, and his transformed durability is above average. However, his attack power is relatively low for an endgame unit. He has high movement and flight, though no canto. Due to his status, enemy units cannot land any crits on him without Wrath.

Among the mutually exclusive endgame laguz, Naesala is the fastest and weakest, and is only capable of dealing 4 damage per hit to Ashnard at base. However, Naesala is the only one who doubles Ashnard at base, even on harder difficulties. As Naesala joins mid-chapter, the player cannot remove or assign skills. Naesala also has no support partners. In spite of his high Speed, however,Tibarn still out-damages him as an Ashnard killer unless Naesala manages to gain two points of Strength during the Endgame. He is most valuable for cleaning up generic enemies or helping defeat Ashnard, especially if the player's Ike is weak. Note that on Difficult and Maniac Mode, Naesala will not be available for Ashnard's first form, so the player will still need to rely on Ike, Ena, or Nasir.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Role

Naesala does not appear in the story until the beginning of Part III:Intersecting Vows. He joins withGallia andPhoenicis as part of theLaguz Alliance againstBegnion, after the murder of their emissary, and the realization that the Senators were responsible for theSerenes Massacre. However, Naesala betrays the alliance, by leading Phoenicis's troops directly into a trap, then massacring their homeland. In doing so, he once again earns the wrath of hawk kingTibarn and heron princeReyson, though Naesala himself does not appear again for quite some time.

By the end of Part III, Naesala appears again to aidSanaki while her troops try to push throughDaein's desperate blockade. He, along with the rest of the major characters in that battle, witness the awakening of the 'dark god'Yune fromLehran's Medallion, and the subsequent judgement ofAshera, turning almost everyone in the world to stone. Naesala is threatened by Tibarn while there, but does not attack him outright, due to their circumstances.

During Part IV:Gods and Men, Naesala accompaniesMicaiah's troop toward theTower of Guidance inSienne, capitol city ofBegnion. Along the way, he is threatened by lion princeSkrimir, but defended by heron princessLeanne, who has strong feelings for Naesala, and can see trouble in his heart. By the time the group makes it to the tower, and reunites with the others, they invade the tower, under the control of theDisciples of Order, who had been brought back from the stone to serve Ashera. When Vice MinisterLekain is finally slain, it is revealed that, in addition to having theblood pact for Daein, he also had one forKilvas, explaining Naesala's betrayal, and allowing everyone to finally forgive him for his actions.

After Ashera is defeated, and the world restored, Naesala returns home to Kilvas, and becomes a diplomat for other nations inTellius. If Leanne had a strong support relationship with him during the game, she ends up marrying him, and raising two children, a heron girl and raven boy.

Note: The above stats are Naesala's default stats. If aRadiant Dawn game was started via adata transfer fromPath of Radiance and Naesala managed to reach level 20 in his highest possible class in thePath of Radiance save file, any stat Naesala capped inPath of Radiance will result in a boost to his base in the stat in question inRadiant Dawn. The boost is a +5 formax HP, and +2 forstrength,magic,skill,speed,luck,defense orresistance. SeeData transfer §Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn for more information.

Naesala cannot gain enough points via level-up and stat-boosting items to cap magic, luck, or resistance, and thus cannot legitimately obtain a boost in those stats.

Availability

Analysis

Naesala is a laguz royal available starting Part IV and is forced into Micaiah's team, chapters 4-P and 4-3. He has formshift so he can always stay transformed without relying on items. As a raven, he has high mobility, having high 9 move, flight, and canto. This is especially helpful on chapter 4-3, which is a desert chapter. He has the highest base speed in the game, so he will double every enemy unit unless rescuing another unit. He has enough attack power to one-round most enemy units, but compared to other laguz royals, he struggles with bulkier units on higher difficulties due to his lower strength and strike rank. He has high health and average defense and resistance. As he has consistently high avoid, Naesala's durability is overall excellent, only weak to crossbows. Naesala is limited on rout chapters by his lack of 2-range combat. His base stats are enough for him to contribute to endgame, though his lower power will limit him with generals and auras compared to the other laguz royals.

Naesala has a relatively low base level of 27 for his join time, meaning his growth rates allow him to improve more. For a laguz unit, he has high growths in strength, speed, and luck, which improves his offense and avoid. He can easily cap strength and speed, so BEXP can fix his lower growths in defense and resistance. Naesala has time to max his strike rank before endgame, giving him a significant +5 attack boost. Due to being able to double all enemy units, he can take full advantage of Ena and Gareth's Blood Tide skills in the last chapter.

Naesala has Vantage, which will have an extremely high activation rate; this means with a crit or Tear (both common with his good skill and speed), he can kill enemy units before they have a chance to attack. Adept and Cancel complement Vantage, as each can all have up to a 50% chance of activating at neutral biorhythm, improving his dodge-tank capabilities. Nullify is a useful skill, as Naesala can easily die to crossbows. Naesala also has Maelstrom which lets him sometimes counter units at 2-range, though this is unreliable and does not compensate for his lack of 2-range combat.

Naesala has a dark affinity which gives a valuable attack and avoid boost. Naesala values extra attack the most, so a partner with a fire, dark, or water affinity on the same team is most valuable, like Leanne or Sigrun. Extra avoid boosts from a dark or earth partner helps his durability even more, albeit it can be considered overkill especially on easier difficulties.

Personality

It has been requested that references(s) be placed in this page or section. Please submit references to help improve this page and talk on this page's talk page about what references are needed. Remove this when this has been fixed.

Naesala is characterized as being sly and a swindler, good at tricking people for his own gains. He appears to be very self-centered, and only seems to want to expand his own kingdom ofKilvas by any means necessary. To this end, he frequently betrays good friends, as well as his other clients.

He was childhood friends with bothReyson andLeanne, having known them since long before theSerenes Massacre. He is also doted on by his vassal,Nealuchi, who affectionately refers to Naesala as 'nestling', despite his complaints.

Though Naesala appears to care for little more than wealth and power, this is largely a facade, an attempt to protect his people from utter destruction at the hands of the Blood Pact. Near the end ofFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, this is made apparent, as he finally gets revenge on the Senators of Begnion for what they'd been doing to him and his nation.

Naesala: Sky's Shadow
Naesala is the king of Kilvas, the land of the raven clan of laguz. I'm told he has an aloof personality that makes it hard to get a handle on him.	Kilvas was a starved, impoverished nation. Perhaps it's because of this that Naesala was personally involved in acts of piracy against beorc ships, and even sold his childhood friend Reyson to a beorc slaver… Things must have been REALLY desperate.	When Naesala transforms, he takes on the form of a great raven with jet black wings. Ravens are well known to be particularly clever birds, and that might be where Naesala gets his cunning from.	During the war between the Laguz Alliance and Begnion, Naesala was forced against his will to fight alongside Begnion. Even though it appeared that he betrayed them, Naesala was still acting in the best interest of his people, even if it meant being branded a villain.

Well, well! Here comes Naesala, the Raven King of Kilvas, and he's dressed as a pirate! I have to say, the swashbuckling look really does suit him!	Naesala is right at home in his new role as a pirate captain. The black-feathered design decorating his captain's hat makes it clear who's calling the shots around here!	Naesala has a reputation for being a quick-thinking man of action, and I see he's already managed to get his hands on some treasure! I'll bet that chest is packed with all sorts of loot!	And yet, even these riches aren't enough to satisfy the Raven King! There he goes, back to the vast expanse of the ocean, off to plunder some even greater loot!
