I love mount names

As someone whose entire personality is being wrapped around Tellius' pinky, I was sad it didn't give mount names.

Being 'Murican, when FE9/10 came out the only prior FE games I had played were 7 and 8. Both of those games name a few of the wyverns and pegasi. I LOVE animals so I was over the moon when I was graced with some of their names. Something as simple as a name encourages what FE is known for: creating an individual that I MUST PROTEC. Suddenly I don't only care about Cormag, because Generog is my favorite wvvern in the whole world and I will commit war crimes for his safety.

Tellius doesn't entirely ignore the mounts. Haar arguing with his wyvern, and Kieran calling his horse his "brother-in-arms" (even if that is the same tier granted to his canteen) brings me significant joy. But I wish I could call them more than "X's mount."

All that to premise: I have a headcanon. See this horse?

Mist's horse is named Boots.

Ngl, I had named him that before realizing it was a clever FE stat boost item reference. My friends thought I was a genius naming this horse, I definitely just wanted to give him a name I thought Mist would name something.

Anyway, in my headcanon: Boots is a Daein warhorse that Soren stole during the clusterfuck that is Melior 9/11 to make it back to the Greil Mercenaries fort.

No the stirrups aren't short enough. And Soren is not friendly to the horse. To him, the horse is a mode of transportation. He did his best to remove Daein insignia and that is it. Go horse go.

Which is why when he jumps down from the saddle and asks:

"Where is the Commander?"

And Mist, not yet knowing the gravity of the situation, be like:

"But WHERE is my souvenir?" ***

He drops the reins in her hands and slips past her.

***

(You know she demanded this of Soren too.)

I'd think Greil wouldn't be pleased at having to afford another horse if there weren't bigger things to be concerned about.

Boots is also the horse referenced here:

Because hey, we now have three horses.

(It's stupid but I love that Ike knows how to tack a horse even if he doesn't fight on one. I think people forget about this sometimes.)

Thank you for your time and allowing me to spread the word about Boots.

Tellius Recollection's timeline mentions that Goldoa backed the founding of Gallia. It doesn't say what that support was, but I think Dheginsea may have taught Solhaut how to obtain Formshift.

At that point Goldoa and Begnion were the only two independent states in Tellius; Phoenicis and Crimea came relatively shortly after so it's likely that they already existed as ideas people wanted to bring into reality, but Gallia was the first state to successfully appear in Tellius after Begnion transitioned to a theocracy. There's no mention of Begnion ever aggressing Goldoa despite it's general beorc-supremacist stance; given that Begnion society was able to reverse its entire social structure because a beorc was able to claim a connection to Ashera, it seems likely that one of the reasons why Goldoa was left alone (in addition to its geographic and political isolation, of course) was because Dheginsea was besties* with Ashera. If Gallia could also claim divine justification for its presence, Begnion would have less justification for trying to get rid of it and even if someone doesn't approve of laguz they would have to try to reconcile that with their spiritual beliefs (which would likely prevent more moderate beorc from acting against Gallia and at least delay the more radical beorc as they try to sort through all of that).

I've talked about Formshift possibly being a blessing from Ashera before** but it doesn't really matter if that's actually the case because either way Dheginsea (as someone who has it) likely knows how to get it if there is a way to directly obtain it. He effectively has full control over the narrative; we only see Formshift on one person per state at any given a time in RD so if we extrapolate backwards we can pretty safely assume that at this point Dheginsea is the only person who has it. If it looks like a blessing and he says it's a blessing, could anyone really say otherwise?
