Yggdra Union Wiki Project at Wikia, Help us make an accurate plot analysis for Yggdra Union! Options

[tcaudilllg]

First of all, this is a plot analysis kinda deal, so there are spoilers everywhere. Unless you've either already played the game or don't mind having the plot completely spoiled for you, then stay away. This is a project for people who just can't get enough of the world of Yggdra Union.

The wiki is here:

I hope to see this wiki become a general Yggdra Union information resource like one sees elsewhere on Wikia. Let's work together to give precious closure to everyone who may have found themselves perplexed by the game's unusually deep themes.

From the script, these are all that I could find.



Silence! Selfish humans...

"Do not interfere, or you will
be next!

W-Why...?

They seem pretty dead set. I
don't think we have a choice.

I am Ishiene, and I carry out
the Queen's orders flawlessly!"


"General Ishiene! It's those
humans again!

Fie on them! Do they intend to
pass through here...?

Under no circumstances will we
let them through!

Queen Emelone is our last hope...

We shall protect her with our
lives!"

Ishiene's death was necessary to secure the bridge to Emelon's palace, and yet, it was also Emelone's rationale for refusing negotiations.


"The Undines have always
despised war.

Queen Emelone always said...

"If death is our destiny, we
must accept it gracefully."

But, some Undines refused to
settle for such a fate.

As their Queen, she couldn't
ignore the people's demands."

The question is, what side was Ishiene on? From her statements, she appears to have been a hawk, as opposed to a dove like Emelone.

Who among the Undines is the will to war? Where is the person who is, for all intents and purposes, Emelon's backbone? We are witness to only two leaders of the Undines, those being Emelone and Ishiene.

It's a really complicated affair. In the end, the Queen probably would have talked peace had Ishiene let them through. The Queen felt she had to die for Ishiene. It was Ishiene who, like Gulcasa, refused to compromise. It's one thing to protect a bridge, another to guard it against a white flag. Of all the available info, the finger points to Ishiene as the primary instigator.

And she IS a general, that much is plain.

One more point: Ishiene asserts that Emelone is the Undine's last hope, even as the people say she has resigned herself to a graceful death. On the one hand you have resignation, and on the other, hope. Two conflicting opinions. There, it is plain: Ishiene's heart is on the side opposite Ishiene's, whatever her official stance.
