@antivanruffles: I'll probably bang a bear but, idk, that one guy got a glow up and now he's daddy
Me: Are you talking about Gale?
AR: Yes
Me: I'd be careful with that one. Something's hinky, there.
AR: So he's giving Hisoka vibes.
Me: Oh god, you're right.
AR: then he might not be evil, he might just be kinky.

FE Engage Pre Release Theory: Which Kingdom has which rings
Almost all of this is just guess work, but it’s fun to do lol.
Marth’s ring has already been confirmed to be with Alear during his 1,000 year sleep. We can consider Marth a “Lythos owned” emblem then, since Alear is asleep on Lythos, the holy land in the center of Elios. Probably obvious that he’s the first one you get, and from this screenshot of an early map, Marth’s probably the tutorial emblem.
More under the cut!
Sigurd’s ring is actually given to Alear by Lumera as she lay wounded, so Sigurd can be considered a Lythos emblem too. Him being showed off a lot in promo likely was due to being an early game emblem.
Celica’s ring is an early game one too since it’s been seen alongside Sigurd and Marth alone. It’s probably owned by Firene due to Celine being very associated with her and Firene looking to be Alear’s first ally.
Micaiah’s and Roy’s emblems were seen all the way back in Engage’s first trailer.
I also noticed that in a recent trailer that there’s an instance where Micaiah is there, but Roy isn’t.
So I think either Firene has Micaiah’s ring as well, or Brodia has both Micaiah and Roy and you just get them at different times.
I’m leaning a bit towards the former, since the as yet unseen Queen Eve of Firene says they has another emblem ring in their possession, so going by word choice if we assume she’s referring offhand to already having Celica, then Micaiah could be the other.
Next, most likely I think towards the end of the first fourth of the game, Elusia’s king-who I think is named Hyacinth?-will kill Brodia’s king Morion.
This will probably give advantage to Elusia and spur them to launch an attack on Brodia, and judging from the above pic and the following:
Lyn and Lucina are owned by Elusia. Recent cutscenes with Hortensia and Ivy also kind of support my theory of them invading Brodia. At some point, Ivy and Hortensia will be playable as shown in videos of them, but I don’t know if Lyn and Lucina will be gotten before them (as in we take the rings after a failed Elusian attack) or if we get the rings when we get them.
Corrin and Byleth are tricky to place. Corrin’s ring I still think has something to do with that Veyle girl as their color schemes and aesthetics are too similar. Maybe she gifts Alear the ring after saving them in Firene?
Maybe Alear will awaken Corrin from her emblem during the attack on Brodia? Byleth meanwhile, I think is an emblem that Brodia owns, but it gets stolen during Elusia’s attack, mostly because of this line in the recent trailer:
This could just be a reference to Sothis, but I think Byleth will be used as an example of Emblem’s being used by enemies alongside Lyn and Lucina. And judging by his affinity with Alcryst, that supports my thinking that he’s a Brodia emblem. Then again, the place Byleth is in could be Solm and not Brodia, idk enough about each place’s aesthetics yet.
Ike is probably owned by Solm, given Ike’s association with Timera, but that’s all I got:
Leif has been spotted in recent screen shots (art by racecarart on Twitter):
The following pic I got from Serenes, showing Leif equipped on Alear (as well as Ike in the top left equipped on Alfred, and Sigurd, Lucina, Lyn and Byleth):
Leif I think is also owned by Solm, but the only reasoning I have for that is that Timera’s ring in her intro cutscene...
...isn’t in her character portrait...
...but does look similar to Leif’s emblem ring.
The other rings have prominent colored gems on them (Ike’s for example has a big blue one) and they match their in-game look. Leif’s is the only one ring that matches Timera’s in the cutscene.
Lastly, Eirika is the only emblem that has straight up not been seen at all. We only have her mural painting and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it glimpse at a statue that all emblems have in Lythos’ tower.
So unfortunately I have no idea where Eirika’s ring would be or who would own it. Maybe Solm or Elusia again? Maybe I was wrong about Firene and Eve was talking about Eirika’s ring? Or was it taken by the Four Hounds? No clue.
Guess we’ll have to wait for the rest to be revealed.
