Chrom and Robin look out across the Border Wastes.

The Border Wastes is a desert that lies in along the border of Ferox and Plegia. Formerly an island, it is now a wasteland crawling with Plegian soldiers and thieves. It is here where the final battle between Chrom and Gangrel takes place, thus ending the first arc of Fire Emblem Awakening.

Located west of the Border Sands, it can be assumed the Border Wastes are part of the same desert. To the south of the Border Wastes, there is a lake, and to the northeast, there is a river. That said, the Border Wastes are practically barren except for copses of trees that struggle to grow from the sand. The Border Wastes appears to be a rain-shadow desert, situated north of towering mountains. During Chapter 11 of Awakening, the area is covered in Plegian forts. Beyond these defensive structures, the Border Wastes consist of scrub grass, boulders, and sand.

This is the first location where Olivia is able to be deployed.

Trivia[]

  • If one compares the maps of Archanea and Ylisse, they can see that the Border Wastes is set exactly where Altea, Marth's homeland, used to be.
  • If Chrom is not married before the start of Chapter 11, he will propose here to whoever he has the highest support level with out of Sumia, Sully, Maribelle, female Robin, and Olivia, provided they are not paired off either.
