About This Game
Centuries after the legendary hero Anri vanquished the tyrannical Shadow Dragon Medeus using the divine Falchion and Fire Emblem, the sorcerer Gharnef orchestrates a dark resurrection, reviving the beast and enabling it to rebuild a sprawling empire of conquest. The peaceful kingdom of Altea—the ancestral seat of Anri's bloodline and home to the young prince Marth—crumbles under invasion, forcing the royal heir into exile across the sea in Talys. Years of exile end when Marth, bolstered by a growing contingent of loyal companions including the king's daughter Caeda, returns to reclaim his nation and confront the resurrected darkness that threatens the continent once more.
