|
Sreng (pronounced /ʃɹɛŋ/[key]; Japanese:スレンSreng) is a large peninsula that is located in the northern part ofFódlan. It has a long history of invading the bordering Holy Kingdom of Faerghus; one of these invasions resulted in the southern half of Sreng being annexed by the kingdom.
Geography
Sreng is described as an infertile wasteland.[1] A large part of the peninsula is covered in ice, while other parts of it are made up by a large desert. As a result, the people of Sreng begun to invade the borderingHoly Kingdom of Faerghus in the hopes of conquering a more fertile region.
History
For over 200 years, intrusions from Sreng into the Holy Kingdom ofFaerghus have been fended off by House Gautier.[2] One of their invasions resulted in the death ofMargrave Gautier's wife.[3]
Approximately twelve years prior to the start ofThree Houses (around Imperial Year 1168), Faerghus invaded Sreng.[4]Rodrigue served as the king's right hand during the campaign and was known as the "Shield of Faerghus".[4] Eventually, the southern half of Sreng was annexed as a territory of the Kingdom.[5] When Faerghus won, the Sreng leader offered up his youngest son as a prisoner of war.[6] While he was held captive by Margrave Gautier, he was taught the language and customs of Fódlan in the hopes of improving the relationship between the two peoples.[7] However, he fled and returned to Sreng, where he was accepted back for unknown reasons.[8] It is mentioned thatLambert had hoped to eventually make peace with the people of Sreng.[9]
InThree Houses, Sreng appears as the location ofClaude's paralogue,The Sleeping Sand Legend. During the battle, it is revealed that SaintMacuil had retreated to the Sreng desert following theWar of Heroes, and had brought theSword of Moralta with him. The Sreng Desert is also available as a possible map duringauxiliary battles. It frequently featuresGiant Crawlers as enemies.
InWarriors: Three Hopes, an invasion by Sreng forces occurs during the paralogueRaiders from the North. The invasion is lead by the Sreng leader's youngest son who had been taken captive by house Gautier. After the kingdom army had fended off the invasion, they reflect on their motivations, and express hope for peace with the people of Sreng.[10]A battalion affiliated with Sreng appears inWarriors: Three Hopes.
