With the Magi's assistance, Leif broke out of the dungeon into the main castle, where Nanna and Eyvel were fighting in an arena under the observation of Raydrik and his benefactor, [[Veld]] of the [[Loptr Church]]. Following Eyvel's successes in the arena, Raydrik introduced a new challenger: Mareeta, now controlled by the malevolent power of the [[Shadow Sword]]. By the time Leif and the Magi unlocked the arena's exit to free them, Eyvel had been [[Status effects#Petrification|turned to stone]] by Veld's [[Petrify (tome)|dark magic]], forcing them to leave her behind as they escaped Munster.

===Quest for Tahra===
===Quest for Tarrah===
Upon fleeing Munster Leif quickly moves south ahead of Raydrik's pursuing forces. Leif, begrudgingly accepting [[August]]'s advice to request aid from Thracia, flees to [[Meath]] and are placed under protection by [[Hannibal]], renowned general of Thracia. Coincidentally, several of Leif's allies who had been patrolling Munster's outskirts planning to rescue Leif, are captured by Hannibal's security due to their suspicious behavior. Leif gives Hannibal an alias and says that he and his allies were arrested for their opposition to the [[child hunts]].

Leif tells Hannibal that he is headed for [[Tahra]] and Hannibal frees his captured allies and sends [[Carrion]], a knight under his tutelage, with him. They make for Tahra through the mountains west of Meath. During their journey Leif regroups with [[Dagdar]]'s bandits and meets with Leonster refugees. Carrion also informs Leif that Hannibal did not fall for his alias and is aware of his status as the lost prince; Hannibal's wishes for liberation from the Empire are the same as the people's. Leif's journey to Tahra grows in importance when he learns from the refugees's contact at Tahra, [[Glade]], that the city will be under siege from the Empire soon.

The journey to Tahra is long; Leif has to pass through Dandrum Fortress, clashing with [[Kempf]] and meeting [[Reinhardt]]'s younger sister [[Olwen]]. Leif also encounters the [[Dandelion Bandits]] who subsequently ally themselves with the Fiana Freeblades.

Leif barely arrives before the Empire's full assault, and slips into the city among the fighting. He and his forces attempt to defend the city but they and the city's defenses are far outmatched. [[Arion]], the prince of Thracia, flies into the city and meets with [[Linoan]], the mayor. Arion convinces her and Leif's forces to flee the city under the promise that the city will come under Thracia's protection.

===Leonster's liberation and aftermath===
===Leonster's liberation and aftermath===
Having fled Tahra, Leif's forces come to the agreement to liberate Leonster and then head for Munster. However, there were two options to Leonster, one suggested by [[Dryas]] and one by [[August]]. Dryas claims it is important that they fight openly so that they may inspire the people, while August suggests they use guerilla tactics and stay hidden. It is up to Leif to decide; Dryas's path takes the groups along the coast and straight through the Empire's checkpoints while August's takes them through a [[Loptrian]]-infested forest.

Regardless, Leif's forces arrive at Munster and and proceed to attack it. Heading the oversight of Munster is [[Gustaf]]. Gustaf, using their families as bargaining chips for their loyalty, has a legion of Leonster knights attack Leif's forces. Leif is able to convince them to stand down after freeing their families and liberates Leonster.

Shortly after freeing the castle, a desperate woman from [[Ulster (location)|Ulster]] begs Leif to rescue the rebels that attempted to repel the Empire. Leif agrees to help Ulster, though he would soon come to learn that this was a grave error.

Both August and Dryas attempt to convince Leif to not intervene; they remind him that his current victories against the Empire were purely due to their mistakes and that they cannot face them head-on. Leif still insists on helping Ulster; Dryas offers to lead the opening forces and tells August to stay with Leif and to follow with their own assault in the morning.

Compared to ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', ''Thracia 776'' returns to a conventional {{FES}} mold in its gameplay, featuring a large number of smaller, more tightly-focused chapters and a broader cast. Among English-speaking ''Fire Emblem'' communities, ''Thracia 776'' is widely regarded as the most difficult and unforgiving title in the series, matched in its difficulty only by {{FE10}}, owing to both the pressure placed upon the player by several unique mechanics and its challenging map layouts.

''Thracia 776'' features a total of 35 [[chapter]]s in the game's entirety: 27 normal chapters and eight [[sidequest]]s, introducing the concept of sidequests to the series. In a single playthrough, the player will tackle between 25 and 33 chapters, as the game features a pair of [[Alternate route|branched routes]] midway through the game which comprise two chapters each before rejoining into a single story at [[The Liberation of Leonster|Chapter 18]]. Sidequests are accessed by completing secondary objectives in prior chapters, such as ensuring the safe escape of [[Unit#NPC units|non-player characters]] from the map, or preventing [[village]]s from being destroyed.

==Development==
''Thracia 776'' was released in two forms. Its first release was for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo Power (cartridge)|Nintendo Power]] service, as a digitally distributed game which could be downloaded onto a special flash memory Super Famicom cartridge, the "SF-Memory Cassette", for a lower price than a standard ROM cartridge. This initial Nintendo Power release was accompanied by the ''Thracia 776 Deluxe Pack'', a special-edition bundle containing a pre-written copy of the game, a cloth map of the Thracian Peninsula, a VHS short promotional film called ''The World of Fire Emblem'', and a set of two [[pegasus]] and [[wyvern]] plush toys.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hepokoknight.web.fc2.com/goods/776dx.html|title=ファイアーエムブレム　トラキア７７６　デラックスパック|site=hepokoknight|published=2010-07-07|retrieved=2015-03-30}}</ref> It was later released the next year as a proper Super Famicom cartridge release; in this form, it is sometimes mistaken for the last official Super Famicom game release in Japan, although this status actually belongs to ''[[wikipedia:Metal Slader Glory: Director's Cut|Metal Slader Glory: Director's Cut]]''.

Owing to its distribution through the Nintendo Power system and its release falling well into the [[wikipedia:Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]] era, ''Thracia 776'' holds the distinction of being the worst-selling ''Fire Emblem'' game in the Japanese market, having sold only 106,108 units as of 2002.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.translan.com/jucc/precedent-2002-11-14d.html|title=日本ユニ著作権センター／判例全文・2002/11/14d 3|author=University of Japan Copyright Center|site=Translan|published=2002-11-14|retrieved=2015-03-30}}</ref>

In December of 2019, another patch named ''Lil' Manster'', originally known as ''Project Exile - Editor's Cut'', was released. Headed by Miacis, one of the lead editors of ''Project Exile'', ''Lil' Manster'' uses ''Project Exile'' as a base but includes several tweaks such as a revised script that updated character names to match ''Heroes'', a fully translated sound room, and improved skill and item descriptions. The patch also includes some quality-of-life changes such as the ability to see what item a unit has equipped at a glance, a weapon experience display, and the ability to reposition units on the preparations menu, a feature that did not exist in the original version of ''Thracia 776''. ''Lil' Manster'' is currently under active development; the latest version, v1.07, was released on January 14, 2021.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://forums.serenesforest.net/index.php?/topic/90189-fe5-lil-manster-pe-based-english-translation-translations-to-es-fr-de-it-tr|author=Miacis|site=Serenes Forest|published=2021-01-14|retrieved=2021-04-01}}</ref>
