Plot

Main article: Dance in the Skies/Script

Sigurd and his companions take refuge in Silesse under the protection of Queen Lahna. During this time, Quan, Ethlyn, and Finn depart to raise an army in Leonster and properly help Sigurd. However, the king's brothers Myos and Daccar launch a rebellion to seize control of Silesse with the support of Andrey and the traitorous Grannvale dukes. Sigurd battles his way through Silesse and puts down the rebellion. In the aftermath, he learns that Lombard and his forces have conquered Lubeck Castle to the east and are preparing to invade Silesse. In order to prevent them from getting caught up in his conflict with Lombard, Sigurd decides to face the traitors head on.

Trivia

• The map of Paralogue 2 of Fire Emblem Awakening is a recreation of the area around the second-westernmost village in this chapter.
• As an armored unit, Arden is entirely unable to cross the mountain terrain on the path to Silesia castle altogether. As a result, it is impossible for him to fight the Zaxon forces unless the enemy Pegasus Knights fly over to him.
