Marth's battle with Durhua is over and the people of Akaneia begin to rebuild their homelands after the war. Hardin, the hero from Orleans, marries Akaneia's Princess Niena and restored Akaneia to a Holy Empire status. One year later, as Marth's wedding with Sheeda nears, the Empire orders Marth to vanquish the rebellious Grunian army. Marth, having sworn loyalty to the Empire, begins a new expedition, although he has doubts.
War is upon Akaneia once again, with this new episode ending the Akaneia saga. The gameplay has returned to those of Dark Dragon and Sword of Light, albeit with some slight differences and improvements. The first part of the story is, in fact, a remake of Dark Dragon and Sword of Light story and the second part contains an original story. The remake was intended for new players, as the story of the sequel follows straight from the original.
