Plot
See also: List of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon charactersLong ago, the continent of Archanea was invaded by the Dolhr Empire, led by the Shadow Dragon Medeus. The people lived in fear and despair. Anri, a youth from Altea, defeated the Shadow Dragon using the Falchion. The Kingdom of Archanea was restored and the world entered an age of peace. However, 100 years later, Medeus was resurrected.
Cornelius, the king of Altea and successor of Anri is left to battle Medeus with the Falchion in hand. Meanwhile, Cornelius's only son and the prince of Altea, Marth, awaits his father's return as he passes his days training himself in both sword and pen. Marth is forced to escape his kingdom to the island, Talys, with his most trusted knights when an allied country betrays Altea and seizes their throne. Marth's older sister stays behind, never to see Marth again, only hoping that Marth would one day return and take back what is rightfully his.
A few years have passed since Marth's stay at Talys when the small country is attacked by pirates. The princess, Caeda, informs Marth of the island's danger and that she is worried about the wellbeing of her father, the king. Marth and his men are quick to defeat the pirates. Afterward the king tells Marth that the time has come to retake his kingdom and that he should travel to Aurelis and speak with many so that they might join Marth's side. So with some of the king's most trusted men, Marth leaves for Aurelis.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
