Parthia (Japanese:パルティアParthia) is a regaliabow introduced inFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. It is one of theThree Regalia of theHoly Kingdom of Archanea, known by the epithet "bow of flame",[1] and is the sister weapon ofGradivus andMercurius.
History
Parthia was stolen from its unidentified origin by the thiefAdrah, and in conjunction with Mercurius and Gradivus was a valuable asset in his conquering of the land, allowing him to ultimately establish the Kingdom of Archanea. Upon the kingdom's foundation and Adrah's appointment as its first king, Parthia was named one of its Three Regalia, and was passed down through the generations of Archanean royalty; with the other Regalia, it took on a mythical status in Archanean culture, claimed by some to be usable only by those blessed by the gods.[1]
Centuries later in theWar of Shadows, Parthia was the only Regalia to not be lost to theDolhr Empire following their invasion of Archanea, and upon reclaiming the Archanean capital, PrincessNyna found it and granted it toMarth, the current wielder of theFire Emblem and therefore her champion, for use in the war. After the War of Shadows, Marth returned Parthia to Nyna, who then bestowed it toJeorge on appointing the new archer-captain of Archanea's knights. Jeorge wielded it in the intervening years until theWar of Heroes, when EmperorHardin assigned him toLang, once the latter is killed, to protect Chiasmir Bridge. At Chiasmir, Jeorge was convinced by his pupilGordin and Marth to defect to theAltean army, whereupon he used Parthia to oppose Hardin.
On the continent ofFódlan, a rusted bow bearing the name Parthia could be found in the clutches of roaming monsters, taken into the possession of the mercenaryByleth, and used in the war plaguing the continent. What connection this Parthia bears to the Archanean regalia, if one exists, is unclear.
