Laus

Laus is a territory of the Lycian League, a country made up of such territories in Fire Emblem: Rekka No Ken. Lycia exsists amoung other countries on the continent of Elibe.

Laus is the territory most central to Lycia, meaning it is the closest geographically to being in the middle of the country, as can be seen on a map of the Lycian League. However this was not true until the disastblishment of Caelin after the events of Fire Emblem: Rekka No Ken. Before the mergeing of Caelin with Ostia, Caelin was most central to Lycia.

Laus is also realitively large only compareable in size to the other major Lycian territories of Otsia and Pherae. Laus is geographically surronded by other Lycian territories, although like most Lycian territories, it's borders are sketchy at best. To the north of Laus is area occupied by the Lycian territories of Tuscana and Thria, to the east is the Ostisian controled land that was formerly Caelin, to the south is Bandon and to the west is Ryerde and Worde.

Laus has no particularly outstanding role in the Lycian League, although it is belived that most of it's land is devoted to agricultural use. During the events of the two games involving it, Laus did not have particularly good law enforement. This is useually attributed to the Marquess's devotion to military power.

That said, Laus is known amoung Lycian for it's exceptional military. Although greatly depleted during both games, Laus's military was origanally a match for any other Lycian province. However, the Laus Army was almost completely destrioded twice, once in both games.

Laus is also known for having traitorous Marquesses. In both games, the Marquess of Laus (first Darin, then later his son Erik) betrayed Lycia. This however, is suspected to have been solved when a new Marquess was apointed to Laus following both games.

Fire Emblem: Rekka No Ken
In Fire Emblem: Rekka No Ken, Nergal, the main protagonist, convinces Laus's marquess Darin to join in his plans through his morph, Ehipdel. When Eliwood, and Hector arrive in Laus to question the Marquess they are attacked near Castle Laus by a Luas force lead by Darin's son Erik.

After Erik's force begins to lose Darin escapes with the majority of his forces. The battle soon after ends, and after gathering information from Erik, the group gives chase to Marquess Laus. Darin then captures Castle Caelin to use as a temporary stronghold, until Eliwood, Hector and company arrive and more fighting ensues.
