1000 years before the events of this game, the land of [[Elibe]] was the scene of [[The Scouring]], a brutal war between [[human]]s and [[dragon]]s over the control of the land. Late in this war, mankind forged nine powerful dragon-slaying weapons, the [[Legendary Weapons|Divine Weapons]] and the [[Binding Blade (weapon)|Binding Blade]], and gave them to eight powerful fighters who became known as the [[Eight Legends]] to use to finish the war.  However, the sheer power imbued in the weapons tore apart the world's balance and laws of physics when clashed with the dragon's own potent power, a phenomenon later called the [[Ending Winter]]. After the war, fearing the power of the weapons and the possibility of someone using them to cause a catastrophe, the Generals sealed the weapons away in hiding places across the continent, protected by a powerful seal established by one of their number, [[Bramimond]], and once guarded by the lingering spirits of warriors from the war.  Over the thousand years, the weapons remained ([[Fire Emblem (game)|mostly]]) undisturbed, and their power - while still formidable - depleted over time.

===Unreleased Chinese localization===

In late March 2019 an unreleased Chinese localization of ''The Binding Blade'' was released by a collector on the internet.<ref>https://serenesforest.net/2019/03/25/binding-blade-chinese-prototype-surfaces-thanks-hidden-palace/</ref> Aside from being translated into Chinese, the game is not known to have undergone any major modifications aside from some new splash screens. The translation modifies the game copyright screen to extend to 2007, implying that the translation was done at around that point. Judging by the added [[wikipedia:iQue|iQue]] splash screen, the translation was done by iQue, a Chinese company involved with [[Nintendo]] that handled the localization of several Nintendo titles for the Chinese-speaking market.

As the Chinese translation's credits remain unmodified from the Japanese release, the individuals behind the game translation itself remain uncredited.
