Dagsion is the capital of the Dagdan Empire and the city where most of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave takes place. Nintendo's description gives it bustling markets, ports teeming with trading ships, temples to the gods, and other establishments lining crowded streets. It stages the Heroic Games, and it doubles as the hub the four Heroes return to between matches.
Dagsion sits near the middle of the continent of Dagda, built around a giant lake in the territory of Amalthea, and its population runs well over a million. The city is layered: several of its temples stand in what the game calls upper Dagsion, above the streets and markets below. Hands-on previews describe it as a fully three-dimensional hub that you walk around, rather than a menu of destinations.
These are the places confirmed ahead of launch. Nintendo has said that more facilities open up as a Hero's journey continues, so the list is not final.
Place | What Happens There |
|---|---|
Grand Arena | The colosseum that stages the Heroic Games. Gladiator bouts run there day and night, and on match days you can watch rival teams fight to research them. |
Arena plaza | Training grounds usable once per week between matches. Improving your skills there teaches new moves and unlocks heavier weapons. |
Shopping arcade | A sprawling market for weapons and tools, with a blacksmith who upgrades gear using materials you have gathered. |
Temple row | Seven temples in the upper city, watched over by a bronze statue of the Divine Sovereign. Volunteering at one earns a blessing for the next battle. |
Exam Proctor | The official who administers certification exams for new classes. |
Inns | Lodgings where units share meals, hold support conversations, and let time pass to gain experience and gather materials automatically. |
A perch where a mysterious white bird rests. From here the player swaps to a different Hero. |
Temple row runs through the upper city beneath a bronze statue of the Divine Sovereign, Solel, and holds seven temples devoted to the gods of the Dagdan pantheon. Which temple you volunteer at decides the blessing you carry into battle, with effects that include a temporary stat buff and halving the damage you take. Temple service is one of the activities capped to a set number of uses each week, alongside arena training and meals.
The Games are held at Dagsion in tribute to Dagda, the empire's first and founding king, and the Divine Sovereign opens them in person with a promise to grant one wish to whoever wins. Every competing clan gathers in the city, and its streets are also where the Heroes find new fighters to bring aboard, which is covered on Recruitment. The activity loop between rounds is covered on Between-Match Preparation.
The city is where the story of Cai starts. On his fifteenth birthday his father Castor is imprisoned beneath Dagsion for crimes committed years before Cai was born, and winning the Games is how Cai hopes to free him.
By the year 1454 of the Dagdan Calendar, five years on from the Games, the capital has fallen. An Underworld Gate has opened in the city, the ruins are overrun, and Eshmel arrives to find survivors fighting the risen dead among the wreckage. Statues of the four Heroes are shown standing outside the walls. Beneath the temple of Fortuna lies the Obelisk Chamber, the room that reaches back into 1449; Story and Plot Structure covers what follows.
Leaving the capital opens the continental map, where every move costs time and roaming enemies trigger skirmishes. World Map and Exploration covers travel, and Dungeons and Clashes covers the material-gathering runs found out there.
