Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, known in Japan as Fire Emblem: Shin Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Ken (ファイアーエムブレム 新・暗黒竜と光の剣?, literally Fire Emblem: New Shadow Dragons and the Blade of Light), is a tactical role-playing remake of the first Fire Emblem video game, Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi, developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. It is the eleventh installment in the Fire Emblem series, first for the Nintendo DS and first to feature online play.
Shadow Dragon is the second enhanced remake of the first Fire Emblem game'. An older enhanced remake, Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo, includes the original game as book one of two. The game offers a graphical enhancement from Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Ken as well as utilising the dual screens, touch screen controls and online capabilities of the Nintendo DS. The game's story centers on Marth as he embarks on a quest to win back his home kingdom and rescue his kidnapped sister. Characters and chapters that were not present in the original or were omitted for Monshō no Nazo have been introduced in this version. The artist of the character illustrations is Masamune Shirow.

But swift is gone whenever she veils her face.”
