Fire Emblem Heros: Timeline
Kiran is dismissed from Edo's military on her 20th birthday in favour of one of her relatives. As she heads home after visiting her parents' graves, she is transported to the Kingdom of Askr.
Commander Anna greets her as "Summoner Éclaire" but before Kiran can correct her, they are ambushed. Kiran, thinking the Breidablik is a gun, takes it and shoots. The orbs accidentally hits the ruins and summons Virion and Takumi.
They rendezvous with Prince Alfonse, who also calls Kiran Éclaire. The tactician reveals she is not Éclaire, but her great-great-granddaughter. Despite claiming she has no powers, Anna says that is impossible as Kiran is able to use the Breidablik.
Realizing the implications, Kiran asks Anna and Alfonse to see if her eyes turn gold when she is using the Breidablik. After the fight, they informed her they did, a sign that Kiran's powers have awakened.
After aiding the Askr trio and impressing them with her skills as a tactician, Kiran remembers the stories told to her by her mother, Ayako, about Éclaire's time in another world.
Turns out, Kiran has inherited Éclaire magical abilities, making her compatible to wield the Breidablik. They were dormant within her until Anna used the Breidablik to summon her.
With this newfound information and all that has happened in Edo, Kiran agrees to help the Order of Heroes and decides to stay in Askr permanently.
Sharena support: Kiran gets used to her new reality in Askr. Sharena gifts her new clothes, styles her hair, and gives her a tour of the Order of Heros.
Alfonse support: Kiran heads to the library, hoping to find anything related to the summoning of Heroes or Éclaire. Eventually, with Alfonse's help, they find a book about the Breidablik written by Éclaire herself. Using it, Kiran successfully summons more Heroes (Lissa, Soren, Camilla, Jagen and Seliph)
(World of Mystery and Conquest happens)
Alfonse support: Kiran summons more Heroes (Eliwood, Frederick, Reinhardt, Astrid, and Azura) and also spares with Alfonse for the first time. She loses, but the prince is impressed by her hand-to-hand combat skills. She shares more about Edo and her life in the military. Alfonse asks Kiran to teach him about the other worlds and military tactics. She agrees, and in return, Alfonse offers to give her horseriding lessons.
Heroes support: Kiran learns how to control her new found powers. Azura offers to help her in controlling water. Kiran apologies for how she reacted the other day, revealing that her mother would sing Azura's song to help her sleep. Azura is flattered and is glad her song is used for other purposes.
(World of Binding and Awakening happens)
Sharena support: Kiran confides in Sharena about her like in Edo as they prepare dinner. The tactician reveals her age, which shocked Sharena as she thought Kiran was older. She later panics when she finds out Kiran was summoned on her birthday and makes an impromptu cake with a few bread slices and chocolate, which Kiran found amusing.
Anna support: Kiran reveals to Anna about her counterpart in the World of Steel. Edo!Anna works at a sushi bar Kiran frequently goes to and would often save her extra salmon to take home.
Heroes support: Kiran spends time with Soren and discusses different tactics on the battlefield. Frederick and Lissa join in and joke that Robin should be included in their conversation. Kiran mentions that Soren and Robin were her two inspirations growing up, which flatters the former.

Anna support: Kiran has summoned another group of heroes (M!Morgan, Celica, Eirika, F!Corrin, and Roy). Anna drags her, Sharena and a few other female heroes to shop for clothes for the upcoming Spring festival.
Paralogue: Spring Festival. Kiran spends majority of her time reading up about Éclaire. Alfonse gets her to relax and assures Kiran that she is doing a good job as summoner and tactician. As they watch the fireworks together, Kiran smiles brightly for the first time. Alfonse develops a crush on her.
(World of Birthright and Blazing, Back to Awakening)
Sharena support: Kiran stays up all night finding clues about Zacharias' whereabouts but couldn't find anything. Sharena tells her to relax and not overly stress herself about it. However, Kiran couldn't. Realizing that she was doing it because she was feeling insecure about her place, Sharena assured Kiran that they considered her a dear friend.
Heroes support: As the next battle with Embla grows closer, Kiran summons two batches of heroes (First round: Caeda, Lyndis, Leo, Sakura, and Stahl). It is there she finds out that there are three other worlds that Éclaire has yet to explore. After further research, Kiran successfully summons heroes from the World of Crests (Second round: F!Byleth, Dimitri, Edelgard, Claude Academy ver.). She also successfully summons F!Robin.
Heroes Support: Kiran summons new heros (L'Arachel, Alm, Mist, Julia, Lucina). She watches as the couple (Alm and Celica), siblings (Seliph and Julia) and family (Robin, Lissa, Morgan and Lucina) are reunited.
Alfonse support: Alfonse teaches Kiran how to ride a horse for the first time. He takes her to his secret spot, which is a colourful flower field. Kiran experiences a vision showing Éclaire lying down on the flower field with a mysterious man.
(World of Radiance, Rite of Shadows, Bitter Enemies, Diabolical Bloodline)
Alfonse and Sharena support: Kiran attempts to comfort the royal siblings after the revelation of Zacharias's true identity. She swears her complete loyalty to them, promising that she would never leave their side.

Xenologue: Veronica and Xander questions Loki about her connection with Kiran.
Paralogue: Harvest festival. With Kiran's help, Anna sets up a sweets shop to earn extra money. The sweets are a big hit, but Kiran insists on working on the food by herself. Eventually, she allows Alfonse, Sharena and some of the other Heroes to help out.
Order of Heroes aids Princess Fjorm in regaining Nifl and saving her family. Kiran comes face to face with Loki for the first time. The god comments how much she resembles her favorite student, which Kiran figure out is Éclaire. Gunnthra transfers her abilities to Kiran, granting her the ability to see people's memories.
Heroes Support: Kiran falls ill due to her time between Nifl and Muspell. The heroes band together to help her heal. Loki, disguised as Anna, secretly visits her, giving Kiran the chance to ask her questions about Éclaire.
Paralogue: Kiran summons another group of Heroes (Lilina, Niles, Sully, Olivia and Ephraim). As the new year roles around the corner, Kiran and the Hoshidians introduces the Order of Heroes to some new year traditions.
Sharena and Anna Support: Kiran spares with the two ladies. They are surprised by how strong she has gotten in a few months. Kiran admits that during her time in Edo's military, she was never given any motivation to improve herself. Her tactics are always near flawless. However, ever since coming to Askr, she has found new motivation to better herself, physically and emotionally.
Xenologue: During one of their tutoring sessions, Alfonse and Kiran discover a book on the Vaskr family, the ruling family of Vaskrheim before it fell into ruins. They read that one night, the family were performing a ritual. However, it failed and a fire broke out, destroying everything and killing every single member of the Vaskr family.
Alfonse support: New Heroes arrived a week earlier (Micaiah, Conrad, Tiki, Elise and Mareeta). Kiran asks Alfonse to accompany her to Edo to visit her parents' graves. It is also Kiran's birthday and the one year anniversary of her arrival.
Paralogue: Day of Devotion. Alm and Celica decide to use this opportunity to renew their vows. Kiran is gifted a dress to wear to the festival and purposefully set up with Alfonse by Anna so the prince can spend time with her. Kiran realizes she has developed feelings for Alfonse.
Kiran meets King Gustav and Queen Henriette for the first time. She leaves a good impression on the Queen, but the King is sceptical of her due to her awkward nature.
Hel's army attacks Askr. The Order of Heroes encounters Líf, Thrasir, and Princess Eir. Eir deflects and joins the Order of Heros.
When Alfonse gets cursed by Hel, Kiran makes it her personal mission to find a cure. While searching, she discovers Éclaire's notes about her encounters with Hel, saying that she would never want to make an enemy out of death. King Gustav takes notice of her behaviour and questions why Kiran is so determined to defy death. Kiran speaks fondly of her time with Alfonse, Sharena and Anna, that the prince was the first person to truly make her feel that she has a purpose in life.
Gustav realizes that Kiran has feelings for Alfonse, but Kiran insists that all she feel about him is loyalty and admiration. The King tells Kiran to look out for his children.
After King Gustav's death, the Order of Heroes make their way to Hel. While in that realm, they encounter many undead, including Gustav. They also encounter the dragon serpent guarding the area, Jörmungandr. Kiran is shocked as she read that Jörmungandr was killed more than 1000 years ago.
Eir mentions that Jörmungandr is a fearsome creature that yearns for revenge and destroys anything it touches. It only abides to Hel's control and was probably ordered by her to slow them down. The Order of Heroes battles it and manages to slow the dragon down. However, before Alfonse could deliver his final blow, Líf intercepts his attack and teleports away with Jörmungandr.
When they arrived at Alt!Askr, Kiran began to have visions of Sharena being killed by Hel and her suffering a breakdown because of it. While investing, Líf attempts to ambush Alfonse, but Kiran blocks him and gets wounded herself. It was at that moment she realized who Líf is. Her emotions cause her to transform, and she turns to Jörmungandr, much to everybody's shock.
As they struggle to calm Kiran down, Loki appears and manages to subdue the dragon, allowing Kiran to return to her regular form, though heavily injured and unconscious.
After bringing Kiran to one of the rooms to recover, Alfonse confronts Eir, asking if she knew that Jörmungandr is Kiran. He also realizes that Líf is not his ancestor but him from another world. Eir says she did not, but an old memory appears in her mind, where she witnessed Kiran turning into Jörmungandr and being killed by Hel.
Kiran eventually wakes up, dazed by what has happened. Her comrades reveal what happened, sending Kiran into a panic. Turns out, what she experienced was not a vision of her future, but Jörmungandr's memories. She apologizes for the mess she caused and is more than determined to defeat Hel.
Anna also tells her that Loki was the one who subdued her, leading Kiran to speculate if there is more to Éclaire that she does not know.
Upon coming face to face with Líf, Kiran questions what happened to her in the alternate timeline. Líf reveals that after transforming into a dragon, Kiran was killed by Hel, who immediately took control of her, branding her the name Jörmungandr after the deceased serpent. Since then, Hel used Jörmungandr to defend her domain.
After his defeat, Líf apologies to Kiran for not being able to free her. The Order of Heroes promises to defeat Hel and free Jörmungandr. Líf also tells Alfonse to be true to his feelings, hinting that even after all these years, Líf loves Kiran.
During their final battle, Jörmungandr is let lose and is sent on a rampage to defeat the the Order of Heroes after Eir betrays Hel. Kiran successfully holds her down, giving them the opportunity to perform the Rite and defeat Hel. However, Jörmungandr is still out of control. Remembering what Loki did to subdue Kiran, Alfonse replicates it.
Jörmungandr is successfully subdued and Kiran talks sense into her, telling the dragon to remember who she truly is. After casting a spell to properly calm her down and humming "Lost in thoughts all alone", Jörmungandr transforms back into Kiran. As she laid in Kiran’s arms, Alt!Kiran thanks the Order of Heroes for freeing her and Alfonse before disappearing peacefully with a smile on her face.
Xenologue: Líf wakes to Kiran calling out to him. At first, he thought it was the Summoner from the other Askr, but soon realizes it's his Kiran.
He tearfully hugs her, happy to see her again. Kiran informs him that the Order of Heroes successfully defeated Hel, allowing peace to return to the World of Zenith. Líf holds Kiran tightly, begging her to never leave him. Unfortunately, she informs him that their time together is limited.
She recounts the times Líf visited her while she was Jörmungandr, especially the time he said he loved her. She thanks him for loving her and confessing her own feelings for Alfonse. Kiran kisses him before disappearing once more, promising they would reunite in a better life.
Alfonse and Heroes support: Remembering Líf's advice, Alfonse reveals his feelings for Kiran, though indirectly. Kiran seemingly does not pick up on it, which disappoints him. Robin overhears the confession and approaches Kiran after Alfonse walks away. Kiran admits to her that she is aware that Alfonse has confessed to her but does not feel worthy for his feelings. She needed more time to sort out her feelings.
Paralogue: Kiran becomes more eager to find more information about Éclaire and the reason behind her dragon blood. All the talk about dragons causes Kiran to summon a bunch of dragon heroes (Nowi, Lilith, Seteth, Ninian) and a hero from the World of Rings, M!Alear.
Sharena and Anna Support: While training and attempting to get used to her dragon form, Kiran reveals she has a deep fear of the dark and is severely claustrophobic. She starts to understand why Jörmungandr loss her sanity and fears the same might happen. Sharena and Anna assures her, promising to look out for her and interfere if needed.
Xenologue: Kiran secretly meets Loki and thanks her for helping her regain her human form. She questions her about Éclaire, but Loki reveals she is sworn to full secrecy. She also tells Kiran to be careful as her arrival to the World of Zenith has attracted the attention of an old friend of hers. Kiran does not understand what Loki meant and returns to the Order of Heroes, unaware someone has been watching her.
(Whole thing goes as usual)
When in the World of Steel, The Order of Heroes stumbles upon the Mesuda family's Manor. Alfonse hears a young girl crying and goes to investigate. He encounters 7 year old Kiran being dragged into the garden and locked inside the tool shed by her family members. Alfonse attempts to stop them, but his hand passes through Kiran's.
Kiran was locked inside for two weeks, majority of it she spend sobbing and sleeping. The Order enters Child Kiran's mind and watch as she interacts with a motherly figure. They watched as figure looked after Kiran, going as far as to give her a new name. She eventually tries to get Kiran to remain in the dream, promising to love and care for her. Before the Heroes find out what happens next, they are forced out of the memory.
When its revealed that Alfonse is actually Kiran, Freyja appears before the Order of Heroes. She reveals that the memory they witness was one that Kiran lost and that she was the motherly figure who watched over her.
Before Freyja could take Kiran with her, Ayako returns from her mission. Kiran is brought back to reality and her family members quickly took her out of the shed, acting like everything is normal. Despite the abuse she faced, Kiran kept quiet. As she grew up, Kiran's memories of those days were blocked. However, she developed a fear of being in dark tight spaces.
Freyja laments that she was never able to bring Kiran back to her domain with her. She finally saw a chance when Alfonse was ordered by Alfaðör to be erased from existence. In a fit of despair, Freyja ceased the opportunity to enter Kiran's dream. The goddess attempts to keep Kiran from leaving the dream, that she would be happier and can be with Alfonse again.
Kiran quickly calls Freyja out on her bluff, as she was the one who killed Hel, not Alfonse. She remembers when Freyja attempted to keep her in her dream, claiming her mother has abandoned her. That lie was what caused Kiran to wake up, as she knew Ayako loved her too much to abandon her. The reason why Freyja was able to keep her in a dream this time was because of her feelings for Alfonse and her struggle to accept them.
The summoner fully accepts the fact that she is in love with Alfonse, and that if Alfaðör truly ordered his execution, she would not hesitate to follow him. During their final battle, Kiran shifts into her dragon form to fight Freyja, overcoming her fear of being in dark tight spaces. Fortunately, she is able to return back to her true human form.
With Freyja defeated, the goddess grants the Order of Heroes their freedom. She still thinks that Kiran's life would be better has she not leave her behind. However, Kiran informs her that had Freyja taken her away that day, she would not have become the woman she is today. Kiran thanks Freyja for taking care of her during her time of loneliness, but despite what she endured, Kiran loves how her life turned out.
Before blowing the horn, Kiran approaches Alfonse's unconscious form, apologizing for dragging him to her mess. Fearing that she would lose all memory and confidence once she wakes up, Kiran confesses her love for him and kisses him. After thanking Peony for helping her, Kiran blows the horn.
Upon waking up, Kiran is shocked that her memories remain in tacked while Alfonse, Sharena and Anna's memories of their time in her dream are gone. Loki is also the only other person who knows what happened.
During the fight, Kiran confidently shifts into her dragon form, shocking everybody. After defeating the goddess in battle, Kiran questions Loki if Éclaire is truly from the World of Steel. Loki tell her that she already knew the answer, confirming Kiran's suspicions about her ancestor.
Xenologue: After returning to the Order of Heroes castle with Peony, Kiran struggles to tell him how she truly feels, still feeling insecure about her position. She instead thanks Alfonse for being a great friend and that her loyalty would always be with him. Alfonse hugs Kiran tightly, thanking her for staying in Askr. Without her, he would have been lost. Alfonse now knows how Kiran truly feels about him, but decides to wait until she is confident enough to tell him properly.
Eitri casts a spell on Kiran after kidnapping her, preventing her from turning to her dragon form. The sage reveals she was curious about Kiran's lineage as she seemed to possess trades of the Vaskr family. Kiran tells Eitri she is already aware of Éclaire's connection to the Vaskr family, but Eitri reminds her that only members of the Vaskr family are capable of inheriting and controlling such powers. This leads to Kiran realizing that Éclaire herself is a member of the Vaskr family.
