Jamkedain

Jamkedain is the het ship between Jamke and Edain from the Fire Emblem fandom.

Canon
Jamke and Edain are two playable characters in Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War. Jamke is the prince of the kingdom of Verdan. Edain is the daughter of the Duke of Yngvi (a part of Grannvale kingdom near the frontier with Verdan).

On the begining of the game most Grannvale's forces are fighting the kingdom of Isaach. The neighbour's kingdom Verdan took advantage of the fact that most Grannvale's forces are away to attack the country. Led by Munnir (Jamke's brother) Verdan's forces invade Yngvi. Edain is captured by Munnir who take her to Verdan. Sigurd (the heir to the dukedom next to Yngvi and Edain childhood friend) go to fight Verdan to defend the country against the invasion and to save his friend. Jamke disagreed with the invasion and freed Edain alongside Dew ( a thief that he has caught some time before and to who he ask to protect Edain). Jamke don't go with them because he won't betray his father and hopes that he could convince him to stop the war.

Edain and Dew finally reach Sigurd's army. After Munnir's death, Jamke is sent by his father to fight Sigurd's army. Edain and Jamke meet on the battlefield. Edain convince him to joins her allies. She promise that they won't hurt Batu (Jamke's father). However Batu is killed by Sandima (a member of the Loptr Church) who reveals that he was manipulating him all along before that Jamke could speak to his father. Jamke decide to stay in Sigurd's army.

If Edain reaches enough love points with Jamke they will wed. If in chapter 4 they are married they will have a special conversation. In this conversation Edain has bought a brave bow to Jamke.

At the end of chapter 5, Sigurd is betrayed and killed by Arvis. Most of his army died with him. Jamke perish alongside several of his fellow comrades. Edain manage to escape and go to Isaach (where some members of the army has sent their children to safety). She becomes an abbess in Tirnanog. She raises her own children Lana and Lester, and acts as a mother figure to Seliph, Diarmuid/Tristan, Larcei/Creidne, and Scáthach/Dalvin. In the second generation her two children that she has with her husband are playables. Her daughter Lana inherit her class and inventory while her son Lester inherit his father's inventory. After the war Lester became the king of Verdan.

Fanon
Jamkedain is a popular ship for both Jamke and Edain. It's often chosen in game. It's principally shipped for strategiques purpose: Jamke will give decent stats to good Lana and Lester, he will give them the skills charge and adepts and will be able to pass weapons to Lester (including a killer bow). Marrying Jamke with Edain is also one of the two only way to obtain the powerful brave bow. However Jamke won't pass the useful skill pursuit, it's recommended to give him the pursuit ring during the first generation so that he could pass it to Lester.

Jamkedain's main rival is Midain. For strategic reasons some player prefer to pair Edain with Midir: like Jamke he can give bows to Lester, he gives to both children the useful skill pursuit. Marrying Midir with Edain is also only other way to get the brave bow. Midir also give better magic stat to Lana than Jamke. However Jamke give generally better stats than Midir to Lester.

The others mains rivals on Edain's side are Claudain and Azeldain. The players who choose to pair Edain with Azelle or Claud focuse on Lana. She will have great magic stats and a rapid access to the rescue staff. However Lester won't be very good with those pairings.

On Jamke's side side the main rival is Jamke x Brigid. Brigid is the only other love interest for Jamke that has special conversations with him. If Brigid marry Jamke both their kids will inherit the adept and charge skills. However Patty won't be able to inherit weapons from her father and will lack the pursuit skill.

Some players also pair Jamke with Ayra. Both kids possess automatically the skill pursuit skill no matter who is their father. From this pairing they will get adepts and charge. However, Scáthach won't be able to inherit weapons from his father.
