I like to think giving a loved one a weapon is a Faerghus tradition. Parents will gift their children small weapons when they begin training such as a dagger. Then as they grow into their weapons another will be given to them as their weapon choice when they reach adulthood or if they bear a crest then they are given the family holy relic.

The gifting of a weapon started out as a symbol of protection of your family as you cut your way through life. This can also be given between friends or lovers. Special ceremonial, yet still functional, daggers were made to pass between man and wife on their wedding day.

Jeralt followed this tradition when he gifted Byleth the dagger she wears on her belt and in true Jeralt fashion he did not tell Byleth the symbolism. Byleth didn’t know this was an old tradition from her father’s birthplace nor did she ever know the symbolism between different ceremonial weapons.

Byleth may or may not have accidentally proposed to Dimitri when she found a ceremonial wedding dagger she thought he might like when she was shopping for weapons for her students.

Thank the goddess Jeralt was nearby to save the poor prince who looked three seconds away from combustion with how red his face was. Jeralt finally explained to his kid the symbolism of certian weapons in Faerghus.

Byleth regifted the dagger to Dimitri years later on their actual wedding day. She was right, he did like the dagger.

#dimileth #holy kingdom of faerghus weapon tradition #dimitri alexandre blaiddyd #byleth eisner #jeralt eisner #jerlat is a good dad but man does he suck at actually explaining anything to byleth #i also like to think aloise and byleth exchanged the sibling equivalent of weapons to each other #fe3h #this is the kind of things i think of when i learned jeralt was from faerghus #fire emblem three houses #fire emblem 3 houses
