Orgahil

Orgahill

Orgahil is the name for a Pirate organization from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. It is also the name of their hideout; located on the eastern part of the island north of Agustria, it is the final fortress Sigurd's army has to capture in Chapter 3, even though it is not a territory of Agustria.

In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, during the ending of Chapter 14x, Lewyn meets up with August and says that he needs to go back to the Bragi Tower and to Orgahil, although the reason was not specified. It could be that the entire island is known as Orgahil, not just the bandit fortress. Like many of the locations in the Jugdral Series, the exact boundaries of Orgahil are unknown.

The Orgahil Pirates

History

Orgahil Castle shares a name with the pirate gang who made it their base, the Orgahil Pirates. This pirate gang had existed since before the events of the game.

The seas around Bragi Tower were home to many ruthless pirate gangs who would target ships on a pilgrimage to the tower. These pirates would often bribe the immoral Agustrian army to look the other way during pirate attacks. It is unknown whether the Orgahil Pirates ever engaged in this behavior, but nevertheless, they did profit from it. In exchange for a fee, the Orgahil pirates would protect ships from other pirates. While the Orgahil Pirates were the only protection against the other more ruthless pirate gangs, they were still a pirate gang and would rob ships that refused to hire them. They were also known for pillaging the northern coast of Agustria.

Over ten years before the start of Genealogy of the Holy War, Duke Ling of Jungby was heading toward the nearby Bragi Tower for a pilgrimage with his children, but the ship was caught in a storm. Lord Ling was able to escape the damaged ship with two of his children, Edain and Andrey, but was unable to find Brigid who was playing in the ship's storage room, so he had to evacuate without her. Even after his best efforts to find her, she was never found. In reality, the Duke was wrong about the ship: it didn't sink in the storm, and left no shipwreck to find Brigid by. Instead, it was taken over by the Orgahil Pirates, and when the captain of the pirates found Brigid, he decided to raise her like his own daughter. Eventually, she would grow up to be like her honorable foster-father. After his passing, she would become captain of the Orgahil Pirates.

Destruction

In Chapter 3, two pirates Dobarl and Pizarl, without the consent of their captain, Brigid, decide to take advantage of the war that is currently happening between army and the Agustrian force commanded by King Chagall by pillaging the coastal areas. After King Chagall is killed, Dobarl manages to raise a mutiny by revealing that Brigid was not the Captain's real daughter, and convince the pirates to try and kill Brigid. Under the new leadership of Dobarl and Pizarl, the Orgahil Pirates decide to invade Agustria, thinking nothing will stop them. Eventually, Sigurd's army manages to defeat the pirates, rescue Brigid, and capture Orgahil, only to have to retreat to Silesse after being branded a traitor by Grannvale.
