E Tome (FESOM)

The E Tome is a legendary tome appearing in Fire Emblem and the Seal of Memories.

The legends regarding it are ancient, and seem to indicate the tome's very age. In the most exaggerated legends, the E Tome is older than the very world, it being the source from which the "ether" was created from "unbound". (Per most of the same myths, the El Sword and then the Elm Staff "con-defied" ether into elements, and elements into life, respectively.)

In all reality the tome was probably created to represent this cosmology supposed in the universe, not being such a cosmology's agent. There are yet some more modest legends that posit it to in fact be the very first tome. One such legend says that an equal tome shall not be created until the very last tome.

When the tome is first seen in FESOM, it has a spell cast over it, such that its truest and greatest powers can only be accessed with a memoryspell that only the Tome's Ascetic can help impart.

The tome's true name is believed to be "Eaithruom".
