mark_asphodelIt's all one world, guys.
Rather, Tear Ring Saga is beyond a doubt on the same planet as Archanea, Valencia, and Judgral. And the common link? Manaketes! For real.
Tellius is so not on this planet no way no how.

shimizu_hitomi theorized as much during her TRS playthrough, but here we have proof. Says The Man Himself:
Kaga: I've made five games, which took place on three continents. Emblem Saga takes place on a fourth continent called "Forceria" and its atmosphere is the same.
[Note: name was changed in final game. Also "manakete" became "emiyu" for publication.]
Kaga: A certain shape-shifting youth will have an important role, in the guise of a mysterious bard and sage. Since this game occurs in the same time period as the first game, Dark Dragon and Sword of Light, more characters may return if the need arises.
In other words, TRS takes place simultaneously with FE1/2/3, and Xane was intended as a crossover character. So now we really know where those characters who "disappear" at the end of FE2 and FE3 were supposed to end up.
My mind isn't blown, exactly, but it's rather bubbly ATM.
