Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Prologue
"Long ago, Medeus, king of the dragonkin, conquered the
continent
of
Akaneia, beginning an age of fear and despair for all its people. That
tyranny was broken, however, thanks to a miracle. A young man hailing
from the Altea region appeared with a divine blade in hand. He stood
against the Shadow Dragon, and struck him down. For some time after,
the land enjoyed an age of peace."
"However, after a century's passing, the Shadow Dragon returned. He
forged an alliance with a fiendish sorcerer who sought to rule the
world, and their combines might topple kingdom upon unsuspecting
kingdom. Again, darkness threatened to engulf the continent. It fell
upon the king of Altea, sole descendant of the dragon-slayer hero, to
sally forth with the divine blade and fulfill his blood destiny."
(If playing Normal Mode)
"His son, Prince Marth, remained at home with the boy's mother, his
elder sister, and a garrison manned by Altea's neighbor and ally, Gra.
Thus the boy applied himself to the ways of both pen and sword, until
one day..."
(If playing Hard Mode)
"But he was betrayed by his closest ally, Gra- and both king and
kingdom
fell. Altea's prince, Marth, escaped the castle and found refuge on the
isle of Talys, but at a dear cost: his sister stayed behind to buy his
freedom."
