Alright this is my biggest unanswered question in Fire Emblem lore that I've been thinking about for like 8 years
Things that we know:
• Chrom and Lucina are Marth's descendants
• Priam is Ike's descendant
• Panne and Yarne are basically laguz
• They're all on Ylisse, previously Archanea
• Priam can't learn Aether
• Chrom and Lucina can learn Aether
• Ike can only S support with males
What does it mean?!?!?! What exactly are they implying with all this? Priam looks like Ike, acts fairly similar to Ike, has Ragnell for crying out loud, yet can't inherit his ancestor's trademark skill, yet Chrom and Lucina can!!
At the end of Tellius Series Ike disappears never to be seen again, it can easily be assumed that he went to Archanea considering all the evidence that we have, but how did laguz species end up there? And how does Ike even have descendants in the first place? Mist and Boyd could be an explanation, but if he never saw them again, how would their descendant get to Archanea??
After Awakening, Fates and Heroes, I'm assuming some sort of gateway exists between Tellius and Archanea that Ike discovered and then their worlds continued to use it to be in contact with each other (?) It makes a fair amount of sense, but I still don't know about the whole Aether business... I do believe Priam comes from Mist and Boyd's line which is why he can't inherit it, but why can Chrom and Lucina?!?! What.. what are the implications....
