Here’s Edelgard, emperor of the Adrestian Empire, and Lysithea, daughter of Count Ordelia and noble of the Leicester Alliance. Both suffered ill fortunes at the hands of Those Who Slither in the Dark, a group that works in the shadows of Fódlan, but now they’re making an appearance here as a team!

Implanted with the Crest of Flames by Those Who Slither in the Dark, Edelgard chose to take advantage of its power in order to unify Fódlan and defy the shadowy group.

Meanwhile, Lysithea was subjected to Those Who Slither in the Dark’s cruel experiments, and was left with a greatly shortened lifespan as a side effect. She confronted this awful fate by devoting herself to her studies to an incredible level.

Though their lives were changed irreversibly by the machinations of Those Who Slither in the Dark, Edelgard’s and Lysithea’s actions have been driven by their determination to carve out their own future. That strength of will is sure to give the Order of Heroes a great boost!
