That's amazing. I still have to compile an entire playlist of stuff for my campaign. Especially since this is basically the Dawn Brigade theme, I'll definitely use it now as well.
I'm not sure which translation is more accurate, but it could also mean "I am not lost," or more accurately, "I do not wander at all" Neutiquam could be an adverb describing erro, meaning "by no means" or "not at all," where erro can have multiple similar meanings from "I wander to "I get lost" to "I err/mess up." Since this is the Dawn Brigade's theme, it could mean any of these -- "I am not lost/I do not wander," the Dawn Brigade are sure of their cause in protecting Daein from Begnion even though such behavior is outlawed, and similarly "I do not err/mess up;" they know they are not wrong in defying Begnion to protect as many of the people of Daein as they can. I personally prefer the translation of "I am not lost," as to wander in a Latin context would usually mean to be lost or to not go the right way, either literally or morally. It's the most simple, and it's also nice for a fantasy setting -- reminds me of the J.R.R. Tolkien quote "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost." Not only does this echo the Dawn Brigade's defiance, but also that of any hardcore geek: our minds wander from reality, and we spend a great deal of our time focusing on heroes who wield mighty swords; on silver-haired maidens, on roguish, green-haired orphans. But we do not wander because we are lost, nor are we wrong in doing so. Rather we have seen beauty in something that most would dismiss, or worse, deride. It gives us strength, and insight, and appreciation, appreciation for people who never lived, whom we shall never speak to. But they have lived, as they have lived in our minds, as they have lived on in words in the same way people long dead live on through faded etchings in a crumbling stone tablet.
I usually read out my D&D Recaps to this particular soundtrack and everyone loves it. Nobody's figured out that this is from Fire Emblem though

Fun fact: the title of this track means "I ignorantly travel" in latin

Ike and the Lahguz Alliance.
I think of this theme from time to time. It's good for capturing the essence of the tension and anticipation before the next twist of a big journey.
The Laguz Alliance Travels Further into Begnion - but General Zelgius awaits them
