Okay, time for friday speculations about Fodlan 3 :
aka lizards bad
...
At least the translation goes with SaRamis and not Salamis, so that's that, but the "likes fighting and the well-being of her people" was just too predictable...
During battle, she can strike down foes with “Mahadu’s Spear”, once wielded by a legendary hero.
Dark Magician : FE version? lol
Mahad was a legendary hero (a nab? Or a regular human?) most likely tied to the nation of Saramis, but his spear isn't a Relic.
One, Mahadu’s Spear doesn’t resemble a Heroes’ Relic, nor is it called a Heroes’ Relic, but it’s still a weapon belonging to a legendary hero. I mean, there’s no rule saying all heroes need a Heroes’ Relic.
The guy who was writting this on SF didn't get the memo about what Relics are lol
So, what if, when she meets Divine Sovereign :
(this scene?)
Theodora asks him for a Relic, bcs Alucard was kicking ass right and left. Theodora wants that power to help guide/protect her people and... Divine Sovereign, of course, refuses because hey, unlike the guy who made the SF article, we know what are Relics lol
Theo's legit pissed - bcs she doesn't know - and either starts a war, or opposes lizard man, and then the plot happens.
But for this to make sense, either Theo doesn't recruit any nabatean character (tfw no pointy ears) or it's more or less revealed that Dagda's Nabateans, and humans, don't know what Relics are or how they were made of, because of obvious reasons. To them, it's just a kickass weapon Alucard brought from some barbarian land, and DS might know because he is older, or actually comes from Fodlan, or Sothis for once did something useful and told her son/grandson what those weapons are.
As for Leda...
What if Leda is akshually a survivor from a Thabes like place?
She plays "enchanting" melodies and likes playing songs from her hometown, but then, in the previous trailer, we see what are those "songs" :
A song to summon a demonic beast, who exactly looks like the ones we see in FE16
That are the result of human experimentation, aka, embedding crusts stones in people (or artificial crest stones) transforming them in mindless creatures!
Song of Madness might be a ref to the Berserk status - that was, iirc, absent from FE Fodlan? - and given how it has the same HP cost as the "summon Waldi!" song, I'm pretty sure it's the case, aka, "create another unit to launch at your enemies".
So, if those "songs" are her hometown songs... meaning her hometown was full of people (?) who designed songs to manipulate people's minds or at worst turn them into mindless beasts, what if Divine Sovereign, or another Nabatean, borrowing a page from Duma's book, destroyed that village to get rid of those spells - or sent people to do it?
Leda survived, and wants revenge against them.
--
It feels too easy to be their plot, and yet, I wonder how Cai's story is going to fit in this "lizards BaD" potential narrative (dad was an agarthan who harvested crest stones and was elimiated and gave one to his son as a pendant bcs why not?).
Still, I suppose all routes will converge at one point and the lords will fight alongside each other against evil lizard lady, with the help of Avatar-kun/chan, and the world will be saved.
