A few questions look at the world itself and at how the game was made. It is written for fans at every level, from players who know Roy only from his cameos to those who have finished every route. Each answer comes with a short explanation, so you can play it straight through or print it for a group.

Q 01Which crossover fighting game made Roy playable before Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade was even released?
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Roy's own game had slipped behind schedule. Super Smash Bros. Melee beat it to shops by four months, so Western players met him before any Fire Emblem was sold outside Japan.
Q 02Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade was the first entry in the series made for which handheld console?
Game Boy Advance
Game Boy Advance hardware beat the Super Famicom that hosted the previous entry, so the series could finally go portable. Earlier handhelds had been judged too weak for it.
Q 03Which ailing Marquess of Pherae, hero of the prequel, sends his son Roy to war in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Eliwood
Eliwood is too ill to fight, so his young son takes command of Pherae's knights in his place. The prequel shows him twenty years earlier, as the hero of his own adventure.
Q 04Which king of Bern starts the continent-wide war that Roy must end in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Zephiel
Zephiel was once a gifted prince, the hope of Bern's people. Surviving a poisoning by his own jealous father convinced him that humanity should hand the world back to dragons.
Q 05Which mage, the daughter of Ostia's marquess, is Roy's childhood friend in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Lilina
Lilina is taken hostage twice in the first eight chapters, and Roy frees her both times. If the two grow close enough during the war, she ends the game as queen of a united Lycia with Roy as king.
Q 06Which series staple did Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade introduce to give its many minor soldiers personalities?
Support conversations
Support conversations let pairs who fight side by side talk on the battlefield, revealing backstories the plot has no room for. Earlier games tracked such bonds only behind the scenes.
Q 07What is the true name of the Dark Priestess, the final boss of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Idunn
Idunn was a divine dragon whose soul was destroyed to turn her into a living weapon. In the game's best ending Roy spares her, and her soul slowly begins to return.
Q 08On which continent, shared with the prequel The Blazing Blade, is Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade set?
Elibe
Elibe was a brand-new world for the series, unconnected to earlier games. A war between humans and dragons a thousand years earlier still shapes its politics.
Q 09Which princess of Bern steals the Fire Emblem and flees to Roy's army in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Guinivere
Guinivere hopes to end her half-brother's war without bloodshed. The royal crest she carries off turns out to be the key that unseals the game's title sword.
Q 10Which childlike divine dragon sneaks away from her desert village to join Roy in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Fae
Fae is forbidden to leave home, so she runs after the army on her own, gets captured, and has to be rescued before Roy lets her join. She is one of the last pure-blooded dragons alive.
Q 11Which studio developed Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade after scrapping an earlier version planned for a home console?
Intelligent Systems
Intelligent Systems rebuilt the game in about a year, keeping almost nothing from the abandoned version beyond the hero Roy and one wandering swordsman.
Q 12Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade began as Maiden of Darkness, a project planned for which home console?
Nintendo 64
Nintendo 64 players never got their Fire Emblem: poor sales of the console's disk-drive add-on helped end the project, and very little of it survived the move to a handheld.
Q 13Which Marquess of Ostia, a hero of the prequel, dies after dueling Bern's king early in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Hector
Q 21Which youngest of three pegasus knight sisters joins Roy with a band of mercenaries in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Shanna
Shanna was raised by her eldest sister after their parents died in battle. During the war she persuades her other sister, hired by the enemy, to change sides.
Q 22Which mercenary captain, a former gladiator, is hired to reinforce Roy's army in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Dieck
Dieck once served a noble Etrurian family as a bodyguard and saved the life of its young heir. The heir's little sister grew up on stories about him.
Q 23Which swordsman hired by Marquess Laus is the first enemy who can be recruited in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Rutger
Rutger changes sides the moment he hears that Roy's army is fighting Bern. The girl he freed from Laus's cells tells him so in the middle of the battle.
Hector uses his last words to warn Roy that Bern has dragons in its ranks, and to send him toward a dragon-slaying sword hidden near his castle.
Q 14Which ageing paladin, also playable in the prequel, guards Roy from chapter one of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Marcus
Marcus knows he is past his prime and spends the war looking for a successor, a role he can hand to one of Pherae's younger knights. He retires as soon as the fighting ends.
Q 15Which adviser hauls the army's item convoy and cannot be permanently killed in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Merlinus
Merlinus is the only convoy in the game: leave him behind and nobody can withdraw stored items mid-battle. If he falls, he simply returns in a later chapter.
Q 16What name is given to the ancient war between humans and dragons in the backstory of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
The Scouring
The Scouring ended a thousand years before the game with the dragons beaten and driven out. The popular version of events blames them, yet it was humanity that declared war.
Q 17Which blazing sword of the hero Roland does Roy recover from a cave near Ostia in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?

Durandal was forged a thousand years earlier to cut down dragons, then sealed away by its owner. Legend says a war-scarred land bloomed again when he held it aloft.
Q 18Which thunder axe of the berserker Durban lies hidden in the Western Isles in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Armads
Armads was so huge that ordinary warriors could not wield it, and its owner came to see himself and the axe as one. His spirit still haunts the cave where it rests.
Q 19Which archer of Pherae, the son of Roy's wet nurse, grew up as his milk brother in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?

Q 20Which hot-headed cavalier of Pherae joins in chapter one beside his partner Lance in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Alen
Alen suggests plans without a thought for his own safety, which earns him regular criticism from his partner. His family has served Pherae for generations.
Q 24Which noble troubadour, the younger sister of the archer Klein, joins Roy in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?

Q 26Which half-dragon shaman guides Roy across the Nabata desert to her hidden village in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?

Q 27Which Mage General of Etruria, Roy's former teacher, hosts the tutorial of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?

Q 28Which Knight General of Etruria changes sides on learning Prince Myrddin is alive in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Perceval
Perceval obeys the coup's leaders only to keep his captive king alive. His deepest loyalty is to the prince he believed dead, so one meeting is enough to turn him.
Q 29Which bard of the Western Isles resistance is secretly Etruria's lost Prince Myrddin in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?
Elffin
Elffin was believed dead, and his father's grief left the throne open to traitors. Which village the player visits decides whether he or a dancer joins the army.
Q 30Which swordmaster, once feared as the Sword Demon, is the last character to join in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade?

Karel waits in the only village of chapter 23, by now honoured as the Saint of Swords. In the prequel, twenty years earlier, he roamed the land hunting worthy opponents.
