—Lukas about the origins of the Deliverance
Symbol of the Deliverance
The Deliverance (ソフィア解放軍, Sofia Kaihōgun lit. Sofia Liberation Army in the Japanese version) is an organization from Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake.
Overview[]
The Deliverance is a resistance army that was founded by Clive, Mathilda, and Fernand shortly after Desaix's coup with the goal of resisting Desaix and restoring proper rule to the kingdom of Zofia. They are led by Clive, and are prominently featured in Alm's route.
The aim of The Deliverance is to recapture Zofia Castle from Desaix's army during Chapter 1. The organization is introduced when one of its members, Lukas, arrives at Ram Village hoping to convince Mycen to lend his aid, but Mycen declines, citing his age. Alm volunteers to join the Deliverance in his grandfather's place.
Alm travels to meet with the leader, Clive, and his men Python and Forsyth at the Deliverance Hideout after rescuing Clive's sister Clair at the Southern Fortress. Later, Alm and his forces rescue Mathilda, a captured knight of Zofia, from execution, and she rejoins the Deliverance, as well. Through his exploits, Alm is soon chosen to be the organization's new leader. Fernand, however, refuses to accept Alm as leader and leaves the Deliverance, betraying them.
The headquarters of the Deliverance is located in a haunted graveyard in order to hide from Desaix's superior numbers and dissuade anyone from looking there.
