{{sectstub}}
A year has passed since [[Lyn]] reclaimed [[Caelin]] from her granduncle [[Lundgren]]. In that time, [[Elbert|Marquess Pherae]] has disappeared along with [[Pherae]]'s best knights. [[Eliwood]] believes his father is still alive and sets out to find him along with two of Pherae's remaining knights, [[Marcus]] and [[Lowen]]. While Lowen is scouting the nearby village for extra men to accompany Eliwood on his journey, a group of bandits led by [[Groznyi]] take over the village. Lowen manages to escape with the daughter of the village magistrate, [[Rebecca]], who pleads with Eliwood to save her village; Eliwood agrees to lend his aid. Rebecca insists that she help as well, given her skill with a bow. If [[Mark]] is present, Lowen reveals that he also received an offer of help from a tactician who was staying at a nearby inn. Eliwood is pleased to have a proven strategist by his side and asks that they lend their aid against the bandits. During the battle, [[Bartre]] and [[Dorcas]] emerge from a nearby village to see Eliwood's efforts to liberate Rebecca's village, and decide to aid him.
 
After Groznyi is defeated, the village elder thanks Eliwood and his group for their gracious help. The elder also reveals that [[Darin]], the Marquess of [[Laus]], is making preparations for war. Marcus speculates that Darin's war preparations might be related to Elbert's disappearance, and Eliwood decides to head towards Laus to seek out any leads on his father's whereabouts.


===Beginning log===
Outside of the village, if Mark is present, Eliwood requests that Mark accompany him on the rest of his journey, to which they accept. If Rebecca survived the battle, she begins to follow Eliwood once he leaves, but is stopped by her father; he tries to dissuade her from travelling with Eliwood, but Rebecca insists, both to repay Eliwood for saving her life and for the chance that she may encounter her brother. Her father relents and allows Rebecca to join Eliwood's group.
“Once, dragon fought man in a war called [[The Scouring|the Scouring]]... Mankind vanquished the dragons thanks to the efforts of [[Eight Generals|eight heroes]]. These eight mighty generals brought peace to [[Elibe]]. The continent was divided into nations, and the people enjoyed an easy prosperity. The hero [[Hartmut]] settled in the east and founded [[Bern]], famed for its military might. [[Elimine|St. Elimine]] moved west, and her sacred name flourished among the artisans of [[Etruria]]. The horseman [[Hanon|Hanon's]] legacy lived on with the nomads of his beloved plains of [[Sacae]]. The birthplace of the knight [[Barigan]] is now home to the renowned Knights of [[Ilia]]. The berserker [[Durban|Durban's]] final glory was to create a warrior's clan in the [[Western Isles]]. The archsage Athos is said to have retired to the barren wasteland of Nabata. The heirs of the champion [[Roland]] themselves became the lords of the [[Lycian League]]. Elibe has enjoyed a peace that spans 980 years... How much longer can this peace stand before its foundations begin to crumble? Deep within the Lycian League lies [[Pherae]], a land that has known no conflict for many generations, but which now finds itself touched by a shadow of unease. Its beloved and benevolent ruler, [[Elbert|Lord Elbert]], has mysteriously vanished... as have a number of his sworn men, loyal knights who serve at his side. A month has passed without word from the marquess. Rumors of his death abound. However, the marquess's son believes his father lives, and he has vowed to find him. Marquess Pherae's son, [[Eliwood]]: A red-haired youth who will one day become the finest knight in all of Lycia. His long journey begins here.”

{{strategy}}
The easiest way to clear this chapter is to charge forward with [[Marcus]] as he can one round every single enemy with the [[Steel Sword]]. By contrast, to secure a kill with your other units often requires that the [[Brigand]]s be weakened by two other units. If you decide to let Marcus take the majority of the kills, make sure [[Eliwood]] keeps pace with the rest of the group by rescuing him with [[Lowen]]. Such a strategy may seem like it will deprive your other units of experience, but Marcus will not be able to kill everything as he smashes his way to [[Groznyi]] so let your other units pick up experience from those units along the way. Even if you decide to focus on feeding experience and kills to your unpromoted units, do not be afraid to use Marcus. The ability to eliminate any enemy in a single turn is invaluable and can often save your weaker units from facing unnecessary risk.
 
Groznyi is barely stronger than the other [[Brigand]]s on the map, meaning Marcus can take him out in one round, and he gains a decent chunk of experience if you let him take the kill. You can give the kill to your weaker units but the non-[[sword]] wielders will have somewhat unreliable [[hit rate]]s; additionally, Eliwood and Lowen cannot double Groznyi, so expect to take at least an additional turn to finish the map.
 
As long as Eliwood uses his full movement range every turn or is [[rescue (command)|rescue]] dropped on turns he cannot, Eliwood should be able to seize the gate by turn 5 or 6.
 
The only difference in hard mode is that there are three extra [[Brigand]]s. None of them are particularly strong or threatening and can be taken out by Marcus in one round.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
{{sectstub}}
*There is a translation error present in the opening dialogue of this chapter. The wording of the narration makes it seem as though Elbert has only been gone for a month; however, [[Erik]] later reveals in [[False Friends|Chapter&nbsp;14]] that Elbert came to [[Laus]] to throw his support behind [[Darin]] and [[Nergal]] six months prior. Looking at the Japanese script, it becomes apparent that intended meaning of the line was that a month after Elbert disappeared, he was rumored to have died.<ref>{{Cite web|quote=In this case, the original Japanese Introduction to Eliwood's Story only states that within a month of Elbert's absence he was rumored to be dead; therefore, Erik is correct.|location=7:24|author=Mekkah|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDjJ61CVTt0|title=Fire Emblem 7 is the worst thing since my SON - Part 2: The rest of the game sucks too!?|site=YouTube|published=July 10, 2019|retrieved=July 10, 2019}}</ref>
