Nohr

Nohr is a fictional kingdom in the Fire Emblem series, first appearing in Fire Emblem Fates (2015). It is one of the two main political powers on the game's central continent, alongside Hoshido. Nohr is depicted as a western, mountainous realm with a centralized, hereditary monarchy and a tradition of strong military and strict social codes. The capital, Nohr Castle, serves as the seat of the ruling dynasty and the hub of political and military activity. The kingdom maintains a standing army and a network of noble houses that govern its territories, with policy emphasizing loyalty to the crown, discipline, and order. The government is frequently portrayed as secretive and formidable in safeguarding the realm.

Geography and economy are shaped by a rugged landscape that includes coastlines, forests, and mountains. This terrain supports a military-focused society and a diversified economy that encompasses agriculture, metalworking, and trade. The kingdom’s strategic position on the western part of the continent underpins its defensive posture and interactions with neighboring realms.

Culture and society in Nohr center on family loyalty, duty, and martial skill. The population includes soldiers, generals, mages, and artisans who contribute to a robust state apparatus. The royal family and aristocracy play dominant roles in governance and ceremony, while regional lords administer provincial affairs. Nohr’s portrayal in Fire Emblem Fates emphasizes themes of allegiance, power, and the moral ambiguities of statecraft.

In Fire Emblem Fates, the Nohr storyline presents routes in which players align with Nohr (Conquest), oppose it (Birthright), or uncover broader truths about both nations (Revelation), highlighting different perspectives on leadership and justice within the kingdom.
