Child Hunt



The Child Hunts are a practice by the Loputo Sect and the Loputo Empire in the past of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu in which all children between the ages of 7 and 13 are rounded up and are either sacrificed to the Dark God Loputousu, or they are forced to fight amongst themselves in arenas, and the surviving children are promoted into nobles in what Yurius and Manfroy hopes will be the new Loputo Empire. It is extremely prevalent in the second generation of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776.

In Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, the child hunts are discussed first, and from Chapter 10 onward, Celice's army rushes to otherthrow the Grandbell Empire in order to save the children recently collected which are about to all be killed in a mass sacrifice to the Dark God Loputousu by Yurius himself.

In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, the child hunts are revealed to be extremely prevalent in the Manster District, and when Olwen is faced with the child hunts in Chapter 11x, she can no longer remain on the side of the Grandbell Empire and the Freege's. They are also explained more in depth during the begining of Chapter 6.
