anunculturedlittlepotato asked: Hey, do you think you can come up with anything even remotely referential to The Light of Zwei, the greatest mystery in the entire fire emblem canon?

Well, let’s see here…

Zwei obviously refers to two different things. First of all, “Zwei” is the name of the second Deadlord in the Japanese versions of Genealogy, Thracia, and Awakening.

Secondly, Zwei is German for two.

Now, in Awakening, Zwei appears in Chapter 22. In the Jugdral saga, Zwei appears twice.

So there’s certainly a theme here. The number 2 is damn important. Let’s take a look at the character himself, shall we?

This is Zwei’s portrait in Awakening. As you can see, he’s an archer. What do archers do? They draw their arrows back.

So so far, we have “Draw two”. As further support for this theory, his localized name is Bovis, which is Latin for “bull,” which sounds a lot like “pull”. Pull is another description for the act of “drawing” something, at least in this case.

Now, which character tells us about the Light of Zwei? That’s right; it’s Sleuf.

Sleuf uses magic, so, presumably, he knows magic tricks. Magic tricks involve cards, right? So now we have “Draw two cards”.

Obviously, his name is a bastardized form of “sleuth”. But Sleuf fights against Zwei. So what does a sleuth fight against? Thieves. Therefore, in spite of his class, we know that Zwei is a thief. Although this late in the game, he should be promoted, so he’s no thief. He’s a rogue.

Let’s take a look at rogues in Fire Emblem. There are only three pre-promoted rogues: Rennac, Sothe, and Heather. But we can count out Sothe and Heather because they’re from Tellius, so they started as thieves in Path of Radiance, or in Heather’s case, would have.

That leaves us with Rennac. A character known for his greed.

Therefore, the light of Zwei refers to the magic card “Pot of Greed,” which allows you to draw two new cards from your deck.

Presumably, had Leif ever mastered the Light of Zwei, he could have drawn two new cards from his deck.
