Valm Castle
Valm Castle is a location from Fire Emblem Awakening. From this northern stronghold, Walhart rules the continent of Valm. Valm Castle is the site of Chapter 20 of Awakening, where Chrom fights Walhart for the second time.
Profile[]
It is uncertain whether Valm Castle is located in the original territory of Valm, or merely became the seat of power after Walhart the Conqueror started his imperialist expansion. Regardless, by the time Ylisse declares war on Valm, Valm Castle is well established as Walhart's main fortress.
The castle encompasses a large territory in the northwest of the continent of Valm. It consists of two major parts, called the Castle Approach and the castle proper. The Castle Approach is the site of Chapter 19 of Awakening, where Chrom fights Walhart for the first time.
Once Walhart retreats to the throne room of Valm Castle to make his final stand, the Shepherds defeat him, his general, Cervantes, and his tactician, Excellus. From Walhart's corpse, Say'ri recovers the gemstone Vert, which Chrom adds to the Binding Shield.
Geography[]
Valm Castle rises from the center of a strath, otherwise known as a wide, flat river valley. Surrounding the strath and subsequently, the castle, is a semicircle of mountains. This mountain range separates Valm Castle from the eastern and northern coasts; however, the large river the castle is next to leads directly to the western ocean and also provides access to southern ports.
Valm Castle is naturally connected to the main continent of Valm by an isthmus to the south. The geography of the area places Valm Castle in a highly defensible position.
Trivia[]
- Valm Castle may be a reconstruction of Rigel Castle, as they both share the same general location on the world maps of Gaiden and Awakening.
