Lehran's Medallion constantly radiates Yune's chaotic energies which manifest as blue flame-like light, the reason it is also known as the "Fire Emblem". Leanne is overwhelmed by the medallion's radiant power and has fainted as a result. The medallion served no other purpose after Yune's release and was likely abandoned. In order to prevent the consequences of awakening the "dark god" through war, Micaiah followed Yune's voice and performed the galdr of release to undo the medallion's seal and set her free, triggering Ashera's judgement. Eventually, at the final battle between the Alliance and Daein at Castle Nox, the medallion's radiant chaos energy grew so great that it began to cripple those with a high sense of order. The Serenes herons attempted to calm Yune to lessen the crisis, but as the war grew fiercer, it became more and more futile. Three years later, during the war between Begnion and the Laguz Alliance, the medallion began to stir as a result of the chaotic violence. Following his defeat at Melior, Mist took back the medallion and gave it to the surviving Serenes royals Reyson and Leanne, with whom she felt it belonged. During Ike's travels to reclaim Crimea, the medallion was stolen from Mist by Nasir and turned over to Ashnard, who sought to release the "dark god" from the medallion by instigating a war against Crimea. On the orders of Lehran, the Black Knight hunted Greil down to take back the medallion, and killed him when he refused to surrender it. The medallion was still in Mist's possession, along with knowledge of the lyrics to the galdr of release, when the Mad King's War broke out and the Greil Mercenaries became involved as protectors of the Crimean princess Elincia. Afterward, having moved his mercenary operation to Crimea, Greil strictly forbade Ike from ever touching it, and maimed himself drastically in case he ever touched it again. Mist picked up the medallion despite Sephiran's warnings, and proved to be unaffected by its chaos, so Sephiran left it in her possession. Shortly after, Sephiran and Zelgius arrived on the scene and found Greil, his children, and his countless victims.
Under its influence he slaughtered everybody in sight until Elena sacrificed itself to seize it back from him.
Elena protected the medallion from others until, when Ike and Mist were young, Greil claimed it and was driven mad by its power. Įlena and Gawain-the latter now calling himself Greil-settled in Gallia and set up a mercenary corps, and eventually had two children, Ike and Mist. At Lillia's request, Elena fled Daein along with her husband, General Gawain, to protect the medallion from the Daein forces who sought to unlock the dark god. Eventually, before her death, she befriended a Daein cleric who attended to her named Elena, and entrusted her with both the medallion and the lyrics to the galdr of release. King Ashnard himself -although Lillia did not know his identity-repeatedly tried to force her to perform the galdr of release on the medallion, which she was not able to do. Since he no longer had that ability himself, he let both the medallion and Lillia enter the possession of the Daein army, which imprisoned her in Palmeni Temple. The medallion was left abandoned on an altar in Serenes, along with the surviving heron princess Lillia, and the two were found by Lehran who, in his grief over the destruction of the herons, resolved to awaken Yune and hasten the judgement of the world. In the year 625, the Serenes Massacre occurred and wiped out most of the heron tribe, including much of the royal family. Throughout this time, she was regularly serenaded by heron galdrar which soothed her and kept her at peace. Yune-now reviled as a "dark god" whose release from the medallion should be averted at all costs-remained asleep in the medallion for the following 780 years, unable to do anything except let the energies of her chaos radiate from the medallion. Lehran kept the medallion in his possession for a time, and after his disappearance it was inherited through generations of the heron laguz royalty of Serenes. Using the power of his galdrar, Lehran sealed Yune within a medallion he possessed, with the promise that she would be released and reunited with Ashera in the event that the laguz and beorc lived in peace for a millennium. The advice and pleas of her servants, Altina and Lehran, convinced her to allow Yune to just be imprisoned. Greil, driven to madness by the medallion's power, slays his own wife and countless others.įollowing the Great Flood and Ashunera casting away her emotions, her new form Ashera wished to destroy her emotions, in the form of the chaos goddess Yune, to permanently prevent a catastrophe like the Great Flood from ever happening again.
