In the city of Cyrkensia, Zola uses his magic to disguise the songstress Azura as the singer Layla to cover for her only for the group to later be found out by Nohr tyrant Garon, who executes Zola for his cowardice in front of the team, as well as for Garon to spare the Avatar, believing he/she was brainwashed by the Hoshidans.

- Who: Elise
- Notes: The Avatar's youngest sister on the Nohrian side. In Chapter 26, she takes a sword slice from Xander to prevent him from killing the Avatar. She dies in Xander's arms as a result.

- Because you were my most precious pawn. I knew I could use you to get to Queen Mikoto. No matter. I feel at peace now. How long has it been since I felt like this? Perhaps this is what I wanted all along.. The sweet release of death... My... my body was destroyed. My mind... lost.. Ever since that moment, I became something...something...
- Who: King Garon
- Notes: The undead king of Nohr. In the Birthright route, he says the above as a response to the Avatar's question of why he didn't kill him when he should have after being defeated in the Endgame, where he starts regaining sense of his former pre-corpse self before evaporating into water.

- I serve the great Anankos! Of course I would come when called. It seems that Gunter proved a poor conduit for the Silent Dragon, however.

- Who: Garon
- Notes: After Anankos is first defeated, he summons Garon to Valla. Garon tries to become Anankos's vessel, but Anankos decides to eat Garon to regain his power. The last sound Garon makes as he's eaten is "Wha—GAAAAAAAAAAH!".

In the Echoes remake, Jedah has Duma steal her soul to make Duma stronger and be fully revived, resulting in her becoming a mindless minion of Duma. She ends up dying when Alm stabs her with the recently unbinded Valentian Falchion. Fortunately, she gets revived thanks to Mila (whose soul was in the blade) using the last of her powers to revive her.
- Alm, Anthiese, children of fate, you have overcome much to reach me here, and I thank you both. You have shown me the strength possesed by mankind. Perhaps men have long been walking on their own without our aid. Perhaps I simply refused to see it. And alas, Duma was no different. I entrust Falchion to your care. I pray you will use it to free my brother from the depths of his pain.
- Who: Mila
- Note: The Divine Dragon of Zofia, whose power was sealed in the Valentian Falchion. After using the last of her power to revive Celica, her soul tells Alm to put her brother, Duma, out of his misery, before fading away.
- Aah... This cannot be... It mustn't... Lord Duma... My Lord... Duma...
- Who: Jedah
- Note: The head of the Duma Faithful, seeking to revive Duma and make his religion the sole religion of the continent of Valentia. Says this after being killed by Alm and Celica's party.
- So be it, Alm. I leave Valentia's future to you, her hero. Take from us what lesssons you will and shape her into a land to remember. Make her strong like Duma, and fill her with Mila's love. Let our grave mistakesbe warnings of where not to tread as you lead her forth. Now, we shall sleep. And never shall you disturb our slumber.
- Who: Duma
- Note: The Divine Dragon of Rigel, who has gone mad with power. After Alm uses the Valentian Falchion to mercy kill Duma, he goes into an "eternal slumber". His remains would later be moved to another location which would become the Demon's Ingle a thousand years later during the events of Fire Emblem Awakening.

- Who: Duke Ludwig von Aegir
- Notes: Said in the Scarlet Blaze story while engaging those loyal to Edelgard. After a brutal fight, Ferdinand decrees "Father. No...you are just a traitor now. In light of your crimes against the Empire, the punishment is DEATH!" then beheads him with his spear.
- None for you. But tell me something, boy. does it trouble you to slay your own kin? What a surprise. I did not think you capable of sympathy, craven monster that you are. (Dimitri: (readies his sword) Yes. But either way, I do what I must.) Well. To perish by your hand... It is a fate that I much deserve.
- Who: Rufus Thierry Blaiddyd
