Lycia

Lycia, or the Lycian League, is a region in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken and Fire Emblem:Fūin no Tsurugi. Important houses like house Ostia, house Caelin and house Pherae are found in Lycia. It is a federation of various territories ruled by powerful marquesses.

Lycian Territories
Lycia originally consisted of 15 noble houses, each of which ruled over a certain area within Lycia, thus the title The Lycian League. These noble houses were: Ostia, Pherae, Laus, Cornwell, Badon, Worde, Ryerde, Caelin, Santaruz, Tania, Thria, Khathelet, Tuscana, and Araphen.

However, sometime before the events of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, House Cornwell was destroyed and its land divided up among other nearby Lycian Territories. This was due to suspected corruption within House Cornwell, although this was later shown to have been untrue.

Also, upon the end of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, House Caelin was merged with house Ostia. This was due to (depending on Lyn's ending) either Lyn marrying in Hector, or Eliwood and living with them in their territory, or when she returned to the Sacae plains in her normal ending.

Finally, depending on If Roy and Lilina marry at the end of Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi, Lycia will be united into a powerful kingdom with the union of House Pherae and House Ostia. Although the geographical effect of the two houses merging are somewhat unclear.

History
Lycia was founded by one of the Eight Legends: Sir Roland, wielder of Durandal, the Blazing Sword.

In Relation to Other Regions
Lycia is found west of Bern. Bandits from the mountains of western Bern, though, rarely enter into Lycian territory. North of Lycia is Etruria, the country of origin of characters like Lord Pent, Louise, etc. The southern part of Lycia finds itself along a long lateral region.

Inside of Lycia
Ostia is found to the north-west and Pherae, to south.

Etymology
The Lycian league was the world's first federation, and is located in present day Turkey. Many European languages are based off of Lycian.
