The Combat of Nuada and Indech, King of Fomor by Jim FitzPatrick.

[t0bey]

made me really happy to see people liking my harvest moon x Fe3h au the other day! so here’s an extra rhea and the sprites/saints :]

[latenitewaffles]

hm. If this isn't Seteth/Cichol, then I wonder if it's Macuil or Indech

[starmeleph]

IntSys pls

Give me Macuil and Indech.

Let me know what they look like

Let me know what the other two Nabataen brothers look like

Do they look similar?

Are Indech and Macuil more blond since they can still transform?

Macuil gives heavy middle child, done-with-everyones-shit energy.

Indech feels like the eldest that left to wander around the world because what do you mean that one paralogue is the first time he's ever met Flayn in person? You didn't even see her during the war, my guy?

Seteth is supposed to be like, a 26 year old man from some data mine of 3H. Is he the youngest?

THERE'S SO MUCH I WANT TO KNOW!

Currently thinking about how Flayn has her own unique Crest despite being a second generation Nabataen.

That means any child born of a Nabatean would have their own unique Crest as well.

So… potentially, if Flayn had a child, or any other surviving Nabataen did (Seteth, Rhea, Macuil, Indech, and an argument could be made for Byleth), there'd be a brand new Crest in the world.

Hanneman is foaming at the mouth rn.

This is not meant to be discourse…

…but it does have to do with Leonie and Linhardt’s paralogue from FE3H. Promise I’m fair and friendly towards all of these characters because I actually love them all. Rant below the cut.

So the paralogue really should have been Bernadetta’s. The Inexhaustible ought to be her bow, not Leonie’s. It is Bernadetta who bears the crest of Indech and it should have been Bernadetta who had a dialogue with The Immovable, not Linhardt or Leonie. This was a missed opportunity for the writers to show actual character development for Bernie in the war phase and not just have her end as essentially the same character, only taller.

Suppose Indech senses that Bernie is his heir and he makes the entire map just a trial for her to overcome her fears? The fog? The phantom soldiers? The crazy shit that a turtle kaiju throws at them? All a trial made just for Bernie. It would have made the whole “Bernie’s unstoppable” line make so much more sense after she overcomes Indech’s trial.

Linhardt is still there as a scholar and as her friend, but Leonie has practically nothing to do with this. Even as a unit in the gameplay, Leonie is better off using a silver bow while Bernadetta can fire a potential four times in one move with The Inexhaustible. That’s why I always give that bow to Bernie.

I say this with genuine love in my heart for all of these characters. I actually ship Bernadetta with Leonie just because I love their supports. It is they who would be the cutest, not forcing Linhardt into the dynamic. I am not a Leonie hater, far from it. You might as well have had her get involved in Mercedes’ paralogue instead of Caspar. Leonie would have wanted to prove herself against the Death Knight as much as Caspar does and she has just as many supports with Mercedes as Caspar, which is zero.

Petra’s paralogue would have benefitted more from having Caspar in it, since most of their supports are about Caspar’s guilt over how the empire treated Brigid. It would have helped Caspar feel as though they were even now. Having that paralogue end with Bernadetta geeking out over carnivorous plants was cute but how much does it really develop her as a character? If anything, her admiration of a plant that waits for food to land in its mouth just makes her seem more passive.

Yes I am picking on one of my favorite games, but I pick on it because these are some of my favorite characters. As Bernie’s professor, I would much rather see her develop into a unit who doesn’t need to be protected, quite the opposite. I want her to be unstoppable!

The thing about Nabatean timeline in 3H lore is that it's some "Cleopatra lived closer to our time than the construction of the Great Pyramids" stuff. Everything we get about them seems to imply that rather than being "as old as recorded history" old, they're "the majority of their civilization and lifespans came before recorded history" old.

Rhea is sort of the face of the Nabateans so I think it's easy for people to think of Nabatean history by her standard, but she's actually the youngest (at least the ones Sothis directly made, depending on when/how Flayn was born exactly), so you have to add +however many millennia when you're thinking of the other Nabateans.

And according to the latest alt, Rhea was old enough to remember interactions with her mother before she went to sleep, so the absolute youngest she could be is that she was born + grew up while Sothis was restoring the continent after the war with the Agarthans.

Personally what I think this implies for the median Nabatean is that they 1. had direct memories of the old human civilizations before the big war and reset, and 2. spent more of their lives in the pre-reset era than the post-reset era. The second one is important because for the median Nabatean, "human history/civilization" would not be what happened after the reset, it would be what came before that.

To reiterate, this means that Seteth, Macuil, Indech, etc might actually know about skyscrapers and computers and fighter jets firsthand. Also for Rhea, the current day Fódlan humans seems to be the only iteration of humans she's had firsthand interactions with, but for the other Nabateans, it's probably not (which imo would explain a lot about Macuil's cynicism)

Tl;dr Rhea is an outlier among Nabateans because she probably hasn't seen human-built skycrapers
