Overview
Valentia is a continent located in the same world as the continent of Archanea in the Fire Emblem series. The continent serves as the setting of Fire Emblem Gaiden, and though the story of Gaiden is separate from the tales in both the original Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryu to Hikari no Tsurugi and the following Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo, several characters from the other games make appearances in Gaiden's storyline.
In Fire Emblem: Awakening, the continent is known as Valm.
History
In the early days of man, Valentia was ruled by two gods, Doma and Mila. Doma, the god of Power and Mila the goddess of Earth, had a disagreement about the state of man, which led to war which devastated Valentia. After the time of darkness ended, the two gods signed a pact, and divided the land in two, Rigel to the north which was strong, but cruel, and Zofia in the south which was prosperous, but corrupt. For centuries, both kingdoms flourished, the Kingdom of Rigel, invaded Zofia in the year 604. A third minor country known as Geyse's Kingdom was created by the Bandit King Geyse, but neither Zofia nor Rigel recognized it.
Unification and Renaming
Following the events of Fire Emblem: Gaiden, the nations of Rigel and Zofia were united, creating one nation that spanned the continent. The continent itself would later be renamed Valm in honor of Alm.
