So from what I understand; the motivations of the Slithers involved basically moving in the shadows and using their influences to make moves against the Church of Seiros and Children of the Goddess to wipe them out. I liked that Volkhard's plan was to implant the Crest of Flames into one of Ionius' kids to give them the power to eventually challenge the church; and indirectly make Edelgard the Champion of the Slithers; I guess that he made the experiences traumatic enough for Edelgard where she would have a strong hatered for the Crest system after her experiences. A couple of questions regarding the motivations of the Slithers at other points in the story though:
- Why did they require Flayn's blood particularly? I guess that out of the 3 available Children of the Goddess Flayn was the most accessible/vulnerable to kidnap and I guess her blood was just used to give people the Major Crest of Cethleann.
- What exactly was Cornelia's goal being a Slither? I feel like given Cornelia's ranking during the war phase she had a significant amount of strength that she could very easily turn on the Church; but she defends Arianrhod alongside the Faerghus army during Crimson Flower; who are allied with the Church.
- What does Arundel hope to achieve in the War Phase of Blue Lions? I guess her just sitting back and watching as his champion(Edelgard) clashes with the Church?
- Is there a reason why the Slithers didn't just nuke Garreg Mach with the Javelins of Light? That would obliterate the remaining Children of the Goddess right?(since Rhea is injured by one).
A lot of stuff regarding the Slithers is very deeply entrenched in the story and I really wanna find out more about them and if they are that bad as villains.
-
On another note I highly doubt how them being unnatural forms would work story wise; as unlike the Elites; the Saints and Seiros are the original bearers of their respective hearts; so turning into a bestial form wouldn't work as the Crest Stone belongs to them to start with; meanwhile the Crests and Crest Stones of the Elites were stolen from deceased Children of the Goddess.

They really don't add anything of value. The plot of the game would actually work better if Rhea were the one who ordered the experiments on Edelgard (in an attempt to create potential hosts for Sothis through the Crest of Flames). Edelgard's motivation would make more sense, Rhea would make a more interesting and sympathetic villain, and Jeralt wouldn't have died a pathetic death to Peri-bot 2.0 - now with underboob.
That could actually potentially remove Byleth's relevance from the plot(which could be beneficial for the plot). If Rhea did the experiments on Edelgard and her siblings that would allow the whole Progenitor God storyline to play out with Edelgard; allowing her eventual betrayal to hit Rhea harder; and allow history to sort of repeat itself with the bearer of the Crest Stone of Sothis wanting to put an end to the Children of the Goddess(first with Nemesis; then with Edelgard).

So in regards to the Children of the Goddess; specifically Macuil and Indech; are the forms they are fought in their respective paralogues their "dragon forms" that they all seem to have? It makes sense for Macuil since that form looks quite draconic but Indech's big turtle form isn't the most dragony thing out there. I like that the designs of Fódlan's dragons have more variety anyhow and I hope we get some form of manakete in the DLC or a sequel.

I'll point out a few connections because I'm bored:
'Yet still I hide, behind this mask that I have become' -
SpoilerShe's the Flame Emperor, yeah. She's hiding her true intentions and feelings about the world behind the Flame Emperor's mask, 'hide'ing those intentions behind her Flame Emperor persona.
'Here in cherished halls, in peaceful days' -
SpoilerShe knows fine well that after the 'peaceful days' of the academy she will be thrown into her duty as Emperor; and knows what she must do.
'My blackened heart, scorched by flames' -
SpoilerShe was experimented on and given the Crest of Flames; which was 'scorched' upon her being as the Crest was forced upon her.

So I'm playing NG+ now; Black Eagles Chapter 10; and I was wanting to see my support level with Annette but lo and behold; she wasn't there. I definitely recruited her earlier on and had used her for a few chapters; the most likely scenario is me forgetting to Divine Pulse at this point but just wondering if she isn't gone/there is a plot related reason behind this.
-
Flexible class systems should be kept if it makes sense in the narrative; I fear it will become a Children 2.0 where they keep it in the next game but it makes a lot less sense in the narrative; but if they find a unique way of implementing it again I'd love to see it return.
Battalions should stay; but the gambit system could maybe change a bit; there's a lot of unique gameplay stuff they could do with the battalion system moving forward.

Timotheos crest is used to send Blyeth into the graveyard. While I believe Noa and Timotheos is one one of relics. Not sure if that is the sword of the creator.
Even more reason why there's DEFINITELY more to it.
I guess since Nemesis has a new sword and was reanimated by TWSITD; that sword was made by them using crest stones they had lying around(probably from the raiding of the Holy Tomb); in a similar way to how they supposedly made Aymr for Edelgard; using a Maurice Crest stone then modifying it for Edelgard's use; so TWSITD did a similar thing for Nemesis even though he didn't bear either Crest of Noa or Timotheos.

Well we know that the 11 Elites were on Nemesis' side meanwhile the Saints were on the side of the Children of the Goddess. I don't see why the goddess would bless 12 bandits only to be killed by them and her bones used to form their new weapons.
Speaking of; does anyone want to summarise what happened between the Red Canyon; Nemesis and Seiros? I've played 2 routes so I know the majority of it but I just want to know the full detail now lol.

So we know most of the Crests from in game dialogue and who they're descended from:
SpoilerThe Goddess {Crest of Flames}
5 Saints {Crests of Seiros; Macuil; Indech; Cethleann and Cichol}
10(11) Elites {Crests of Blaidydd; Fraldarius; Gautier; Dominic; Lamine; Charon; Daphnel; Riegan; Goneril; Gloucester and *unofficially* the Beast}
But there are 5 more Crests that we have no clue where they came from; not tied to any sort of group or faction from the War of Heroes. These being the Crests of Noa; Chevalier; Aubin; Timotheos and Ernest. Does anyone have any sort of ideas where these crests come from or why they're absent in the game(at least so far; the Story DLC could shed some light on these crests and their bearers).
-
But then that begs the question; why was The Beast's Crest Stone used? I guess TWSITD just had a lot of those Crest Stones lying around; still if it was made for her specifically surely they would've used a Crest Stone that she actually resonates with .
-
I haven't played either Black Eagles route so I don't know yet but I'm curious; why is Edelgard able to wield Aymr? Because as far as I'm aware she doesn't bear the
SpoilerCrest of the Beast; only the Minor Crest of Seiros and Major Crest of Flames.

Cyril is actually very good if you give him the time; he has aptitude which is good for anyone - and if you give him levels and tutor him he's good; just as anyone else is.
-
Hot take: the Story DLC will show us that the 4 bearers of the Crests lost through history were the true Heroes of Fódlan; and the DLC will follow those 4.
-
Are there any consequences for a character without the corresponding Crest wielding a Hero's Relic? Because I've seen gameplay of Seteth wielding the Gautier Hero's Relic and it seems like it doesn't negatively impact the unit which is what I've heard from previous reports.

Because I've just seen gameplay from the Church path where Seteth mentions that both Dimitri and Regent Rufus were killed in the ongoing civil conflict in Faerghus.
It must just be a Church route thing then.
-
Wait so if the Church path is picked...
SpoilerDimitri is killed off screen within the 5 year jump? Is it the same way with Edelgard's other path?
-
Interesting how Aymr's description says it resonates with the Crest of Seiros despite literally having the Crest of
Spoilerthe Beast
present on the axe.

Does anyone know what the remaining 2 forging options are below the + variants of each weapon?
-
Has anyone managed to get the learnsets/hidden talent skills for each character?

Do we know how many chapters are in the game?
I've heard that there's a prologue; 12 chapters before and 12 chapters after the timeskip; with maybe an endgame chapter too.
-
Do we know what the name of Edelgard's bone axe is called? I thought that was what the Blutgang was but apparently that's a Sword?

Rhea is 28, height 17, also has Crest of Seiros
Sothis is 9 (by appearance), height 135, has Crest of Flames
Kronya is 18, height 157
Solon is 73, height 176
Thales is 48, height 186
Cornelia is 30, height 168

Crest Stones
in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Posted · Edited by HappyHawlucha.
So, by this point we should all know that, and I'm putting it in spoiler tags JUST in case::
The Crest Stones are the hearts of the Nabateans.
With the introduction of the Heroes Relics for Balthus(Chevalier), and Yuri(Aubin *from the datamine*), we now have every crest stone represented in a Hero's Relic apart from the 5 Divines who still live - Seiros; Cethleann; Cichol; Macuil & Indech, Ernest, who is likely dead but their stone hasn't appeared anywhere, and the stones of Noa and Timotheos, who were used instead to make a sort of super relic in the form of the Dark Creator Sword.
Buttt, one thing we don't really know about, or at least that I don't know about, is why there is more than one Crest Stone of Maurice(The Beast). Despite Aymr being used by Edelgard, who has the Crests of Seiros & Flames, Aymr contains the Crest Stone of Maurice. It works perfectly fine for Edelgard as she bears the Crest of Flames and can therefore tap into the power of all Hero's Relics due to her link to the Goddess, but where did the second crest stone come from all of a sudden, as the Blutgang also has this stone? Unless Maurice somehow had 2 hearts, wouldn't it have made more sense for Aymr to have the Crest of Ernest in it to round out the Hero's Relics out and call it a day? Although I'm probably thinking way too much into things.
