Also I think this was the start of them building up to something here. Because later in the Book IV ending movie, we see Lif and Thrasir recruiting Plumeria and Triandra. Also Rearmed Lif has a castle quote about how he made a contract with the powers that be and we might be enemies again soon. But that unit came out during Book 6. And since then I haven't seen any more hints to whatever they're building up to with this. Though since it seems pretty likely we're finally gonna meet Alfador in the newest book, maybe something about it might come up there.

To be continued...

I have never played the Xenologues.  I have no interest in the Xenologues.  To the best of my understanding, they’re nothing more than challenge battles with no actual story significance except the occasional nod to characters from other games in the franchise.  But as I have stated before, I DO NOT LIKE ANNA -- frankly my opinion of her lately has only been deteriorating thanks to her added presence in 3H and events in Heroes.  She’s not a god in any sense of the word: she’s capitalism personified, given that her focuses are solely on wealth gained at the expense and/or exploitation of others and commerce wherein she drives out competition to create a monopoly.  So I have absolutely no interest in this particular line of thought and would appreciate it if you would drop it here.

I love how Awakening kept showing how obsessed Tharja is with Robin through her pre-battle dialogues. Shows she wasn't joking...
