One hundred years since Medeus was slain and the Kingdom Altea founded on the continent of Akaneia, Medeus is back, and it falls to exiled prince Marth to save the kingdom from ruin. Success for Marth and his comrades rests on finding his father's sacred sword, Falchion, and the Fire Emblem. Only when these are united in Marth's hands will he be able to destroy Medeus once and for all and win back the kingdom of Altea.
