Grandeur is a fan zine dedicated to the character Camilla from the Fire Emblem Fates games.
About
Grandeur is a fanzine project celebrating Camilla from Fire Emblem Fates. Camilla is a muse to many, continuing to captivate fans and creators long after her initial appearance in Fates. Her ravishing purple locks, unparalleled beauty, deadly strength with which she protects those dear to her, and many more extraordinary qualities keep us coming back to her again and again. We want to create one book that will, for the first time, bring together everything that we love about Camilla, a compilation of love letters through art, a place we can keep coming back to to relive iconic memories from Fates and beyond.
We want to create and self-publish an artbook that depicts Camilla in all canon and alternate forms, including holiday and other alts introduced in FE Heroes. And why not even create some of your own? We can't wait to see which exciting new directions our shared muse will take you![1]

@CamillaFEzine my zine arrived! Prints are on the wall and I am wondering where to use the stickers. Love the bookmark too! Will get around to the zine itself at some point, maybe after I actually play the game lmao[19]
