Fire Emblem

The Fire Emblem
The Fire Emblem is an amber, incandescent orb. It looks somewhat like the sun, and its glow paints patterns of all the slight imperfections on its surface onto the walls around it.

History
Found in ~15, the Fire Emblem granted Augustus fantastic powers when he beseeched it for aid against the Demon King. The Emblem heard the Gaulitian's cry for help and answered it--it shattered into a million pieces, and granted Augustus the blade Gallahas as well as fantastic powers.

Thus the first God-King was born, and using the Emblem's powers and its incarnation as a blade, Augustus drove the Demon hordes back. It was thought the Emblem would never be seen again, inherited from God-King to God-King.

Resurfacing of the Shards
In the year 815, however, the Emblem had been sighted once more--or at least, sizable shards of it. It had been split into 5 sizable chunks, and this event kickstarted the Crisis of the Ninth century--featuring the Aurelian wars, the Khartedaic wars on Cyme as well as Colossae's usurpation and the Numean Gathering.

It wasn't reformed until the Battle at the God-King's Palace, wherein Barton, Bryce Elchesis, Adalgar and Angus McFife had all brought the shards together unintentionally.

The Emblem's Journey
After the events at the God-King's Palace, the Emblem came to be in the posession of Alzak Sividus and his companion-group Hoofstomp, minus Barton who split from the group to bury the fallen Adalgar. Now bearing the Emblem, a magnet for monsters wishing to resurrect their demonic master, the group came under heavy attack from all manner of beast and lost Cheno on their path back to Elchesia.

In Elchesia, Hoofstomp would permanently splinter. Alzak, Gruz and Anouk were headed to the Jen'zah marshes to consult with the cult-divinity Jen'zah while Lorym went to greet her son, Oalei. Angus and Barton had a brief encounter but split thereafter.

On the path to the marshes, the Tiberian group briefly turned back and found Lorym under attack by monsters. Joining back up with the warrior, they decided to continue on together. They were told by Jen'zah, upon arrival, that they ought to take the Emblem to Chief Koen, for he would know better. He also granted them his full blessing, bestowing upon them the power of the Summoner.
