#vander fire emblem

FE Engage redesign series: Vander

Design notes:

For the Elyos characters I decided to lean into the white and gold color schemes and give them a theme that really emphasizes divinity and godliness.

My main gripe with Vander is his generic knight-ness. I really wanted to emphasize he's Lumera's knight specifically, so I matched his color palette and shapes to match hers.

I also thought it would be cute to make braided hair an Elyos/stuart thing; since Clanne, Framme, F!Alear and Lumera all have braids in some form! I also added a little bow as an extra nod to Clanne and Framme.

Alear's Animal Sanctuary

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

I just realized the main reason that Vander looks older than he's supposed to be (45) is because his hair is meant to be the same platinum blonde color as Clanne and Framme, not the gray or white that it more easily reads as. The beard obscuring his face doesn't help either since we can't really see any indicators from it.

Can't say the same for Saphir though, who is apparently supposed to be 35. That number is just wrong. Some club penguin logic right there.

Humiliating that old man is a full time job

FE Engage wasn't even an option for player's voice for the game awards? Scam. Rigged. If Mauvier and Vander showed their hairy tits, then Engage would get 5 Sommillion votes 😤

Translation of Fire Emblem Engage's Soundtrack's Short Story

Short Story

A Feast for the Anniversary of the Coronation 

Early in the morning a feast was made with ingredients from all over Elyso. It is almost ready. There are spoilers of the  main game’s storyline. Please enjoy after clearing the main game. 

Veyle: Welcome back!

Fogado: Bunet is in command of the kitchen, so Solm's very own Prince gets to be in charge of tasting the food. Alcryst, since we're best friends you can also help, right?.

Alcryst: Well, my best friend…! I still can't get used to the sound of that, but yeah, I'll take the time to… I'll choose an unreasonable dish only I can eat. 

Vander: We have been waiting for you Divine One.

Alear: Veyle, Vander; Thank you for making the celebration happen.

Today the Somniel has a different atmosphere. There are decorations everywhere. 

Celine: The smell of the food is making me hungry. Princess Hortensia was right in front of me and I started to imagine that her cute belly was delicious pork.

It's been one year since Alear's coronation ceremony. All of their allies who fought in the war, as well as the Royal families, are in attendance.

Hortensia: Hey, it is forbidden to poke me there! If you think my skin looks delicious, it is nothing compared to yours.

Veyle: Here! Here! Everything is in Cafe Terrace!

Sommie: Yip! Yip!

Alear: Veyle, please don't pull me! Aha, Sommie is having fun too. 

Timerra: Here we come Divine One!

Framme: Awww, Sommie, you're so precious! You're so precious!

Alfred: Sommie runs like a rock.

Ivy: I have missed you Divine One. 

Clanne: Now that the fighting is over, we, the 33rd Stewards of the Dragon, have moved to the Holy Land of Lythos with the Divine One and Lady Veyle. This place is nostalgic, so let's do this!

Diamant:It is great that you are doing well Divine One.

Alear: Clanne, Framme, Thank you for all you have done today. Everyone…! It's been a long time since we've been together like this.

Framme: Oh my god! It is an honour to be called by name on the Somniel.

Timerra: We used to talk until we were ready for battle. I remember that we all are here. If I remember correctly, I had dinner with Alfred and then camped out!.

Clanne: It's been a long time since I've had the chance to fall flat! But if I see Vander here, I will have to go to work. I will leave the humour for later, so please excuse me.

Alfred: See you later Divine One. That was fun! We talked with everyone and deepened our relationships. This also reflects the relationship between countries after the war. It's very emotional when you think about it.

Ivy: There was talk about Brodia and Elusia establishing a trade route in the future. Now that I think about it, it was here in the Somniel where talks began, Prince Diamant… no, King Diamant?

Vander: Good, Clanne returned to his post immediately. Well, it seems like those two are taking their roles seriously and are becoming full fledged stewards. Maybe it is time for me to appoint them as guardians, hand over my dutues, and retire.

Diamant: We're not used to calling each other by our titles, Queen Ivy.

Ivy: We have only just ascended to the throne and there is a lot of work for both of us to do, but that promise we made will come true someday, for the same of both of our countries.

Vander: I am talking to myself. I am going to check the kitchen.

Veyle: Is Vander going to retire? When he does, you will still have me. Would you like me to stay at the Somniel even after everyone's gone back to their countries? I could stay and manage things

Alear: Thank you Veyle, I am grateful that you are staying to take care of things, but are there any inconveniences with that? If you get lonely don't hesitate to join us in Lythos.

Veyle: Thank you but don't worry, Mauvier will be with me, and Sommie can help me. I have the future to think about. There is so much I want to do. I want to travel and help people. Also…I am wondering if it is okay for me to return to Gradlon. 

Alear: To Gradlon? 

Alear: It is like the Somniel in the good old days. I want to show the Emblem Rings as well.

Veyle: Is that the ring of the Hero King?

Alear: Has Vander gone? Don't tell him, I should have kept the ring in the vault, but I have been with Marth for so long. 

Veyle: Is that why you were holding it? I would be afraid that I would drop it if I held it. 

Alear: Next time I will make something to keep it in, I am good with my hands.

Veyle: I keep thinking about Gradlon being called a cursed place, but the place itself is not guilty. I wish the land could be reborn as a place filled with greenery.

Clanne: Excuse me, Divine One. The feast is ready.

Framme: Please go and say hi to everyone!

Alear: That is Veyle's new dream.

Veyle: My new dream? Maybe you are right. I wonder if that is possible?

All the familiar faces are gathered together but something is missing. It feels lonely…

Alear: Yes, I am sure you can make it come true because you made your first dream come true. You became a dragon that saved the world.

Celine: There is something missing. Perhaps it is the music.

Fogado: Those words make me very happy. After all, there's always music at a party! Yay! Divine Dragon, I'll ask you like before.

Timerra: Look! Look! Divine One, Veyle, Jean brought us some rare fruit and vegetables. Saphira caught a big fish in the pond too. I wonder if I could cook it in time?

Diamant: I am feeling nostalgic.

Alear: Which song should we play? All of them are so memorable that I get lost.

Hortensia: Just play them all. We have plenty of time to enjoy them. Even then we were fighting, Divine One many to obtain fresh ingredients.

Alfred: Today we all fought over who would be in charge of eating. Speaking of being in charge, someone was always in charge of waking up the Divine One. I would run up the stairs and open that door.

Ivy: I wonder how other people woke up the Divine One? When Yunaka was on duty, I heard the sounds of birds, and when Linden was on duty, I heard explosions. I thought it was terrifying at the time…

Veyle: I woke him up normally…? 

That's right, I was at Anna's and heard that the owners were opening up. Seadall was also thinking about opening the fortune telling hut.

Alcryst: The food is coming. I am feeling strangely excited. I'm sorry.

Alear: Let's start with my favourite song.

Vander: I understand, let me start the music.

The music started to play. 

Alear: Somewhere the Emblems can hear this music. Let us toast to the days where we laughed, cried, shared opinions and ran together. Until we meet again, please remember me, forever. I will remember you. It is a promise. Now let us celebrate and pray for eternal peace in the whole of Elyso.

You can find close ups and better quality pictures on the wiki!

[ID: Five screenshots Vander from Fire Emblem: Engage from his pages in the ally notebook. In the first screenshot, the left page is a polaroid of Vander, looking to his left with his right hand on his hip. He wears thick armors that are colored silver, gold, and blue. The page directly next to it reads:

'Vander. Initial Class: Paladin. Birthday: November 26th. Basic Info: 32nd Steward of the Dragon. Watches over Krym (Alear), who sleeps on a floating island, the Somniel.'

The second screenshot is of the next few pages of the ally notebook. On the left page, there is a polaroid of Vander riding into battle on his white horse, his axe in his right hand raised high into the air. The page to the right of it reads:

'Likes: Knitting, cleaning, fruit, quiet places, balls of yarn, writing. Dislikes: Distractions from his work, parties, strong odors, oversleeping, folk food.'

In the third screenshot, there is a polaroid of Vander in the Stark Set on the left page, a set of white robes with gold vine details. He has his hand on his chest, looking towards his left. The page on the right reads:

'Hobbies: Enjoying the quiet. Talents: Knitting, making jam. Background: Vander's family has served the Divine Dragon for centuries as clerics living in Lythos Castle. Due to his skills, Vander was appointed 32nd Steward of the Dragon.'

In the fourth screenshot, there is a polaroid of Vander picking oranges from a tree on the left page. He has a basket of oranges, cradled in his right arm, reaching up with his left towards more. He has a determined look on his face. The page on the right reads:

'Height: 6'3". Ring Size" 10.5. | U 1/2. Personality: Serious, strict, yet warm. Puts his steward duties above all else. Devotes his life to the Divine Dragon. Applies sealing wax more beautifully than anyone else.'

In the fifth screenshot, there's a polaroid of Vander on the left page. He is kneeling before the Divine Dragon, the picture being taken from their point of view. The glove on his right hand has been removed, the Pact Ring sitting beautifully on his ring finger, sparkling blue. The page next to it reads:

'Life with Vander: Does not mix public and private affairs, though some say he looks more softly on the Divine Dragon. Rarely wears the Pact Ring so as not to damage it, and is meticulous in caring for it each night.'

End ID.]

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

there is not a single fire emblem character with facial hair that could be considered decent, and no Vander "I am a 20-year-old man who glued a broom onto my face" Engage does not count
