EmblemCon was first idealised by Mysti in April 2020 as a response to Fire Emblem Expo's cancellation due to Covid-19. Since then, Mysti and some close friends created a discord server with help from the IdolCon Discord moderator team. The EmblemCon team soon expanded with the help of Okke, who is well versed in the Fire Emblem community and event running.

The moderator team then joined forced with several voice actors and members of the community to create a sensational two-day convention in May 2020. This event was so successful, with over 2000 discord participants, that the next major event EmblemCon 2021 was announced shortly after.

The EmblemCon team have also hosted two mini-events for Halloween and Winter, as well as the occasional off season streaming sessions.

EmblemCon features a selection of digital Artist Alleys, several streamed events and panels, as well as Voice Actor and Community Creator interviews. We have featured guests in the past such as: Greg Chun, Jenny Yokobori, Sarah Blandy, Rena Strober, Allegra Clark, Christian La Monte, Sagemaster, Faerghast and Mekkah.

EmblemCon's very first mascot was named, Kohaku. She was designed to represent the lords of the Fire Emblem series, being reflected in her colour palette of black, gold, and red. Her class is a Kitsune and she was voiced by Rockybun in a special promotional video for EmblemCon.

In the year 2022, a contest was held to design a new mascot for the convention. While there were a lot of creative entries, the team announced the design made by RawrCanDraw would become the new mascot for EmblemCon. Being dubbed Emblem-Chan, with her sidekick Fe-chan, they have become a staple to the EmblemCon brand and inspired a plethora of fun and creative art from others, including the key art that was drawn by Toast and the icon for the server that was drawn by Fai.
