Dark Emblem (Japanese: 闇の紋章士 Dark emblem person) is the seventh chapter of Fire Emblem Engage. In this chapter, Alear's journey to Brodia is halted by Hortensia—a princess of Elusia—and her own Emblem.

This chapter introduces Dark Emblems; enemy-exclusive variants of Emblems that cannot enter the engaged state, but grant their users access to their engage skills, attacks, and weapons even when only synced together. It also introduces smash weapons, which knock opponents backwards.

Plot

Main article: Dark Emblem/Script

Alear and Alfred cross the border into Brodia, when an arrow flies just past the former. Its shooter demands them to identify themselves, which Alear and Alfred oblige. Upon hearing this information, the archer jumps forward into a prostrating stance and apologizes profusely to them. Alfred recognizes the man as Alcryst, the younger prince of Brodia; he then introduces his retainers, Citrinne and Lapis, and explains that he was ordered to meet Alear and Alcryst at the border by his father, King Morion. On the way to the border, he and his retainers had only seen Corrupted and bandits, and had assumed Alear's group was among them. The retainers challenge their group to prove their worthiness further, but Alcryst rebukes the two, elaborating on Brodia's heavy valuation of strength.

Alcryst then takes the group to the Grand Crossing, intending to lead them to the castle. On the way there, he explains that his country has held the Ring of the Young Lion, which is currently in possession of Alcryst's older brother, Diamant. The group reaches the Grand Crossing, where they find Elusian soldiers led by Princess Hortensia waiting for them. Hortensia chastises Alcryst and Brodia, criticizing them for invading her country and harming her citizens. She then reveals that she has come by order of her father, King Hyacinth, to take the rings from Alear. Alear refuses, and Hortensia mutters under her breath that her older sister is busy attacking Brodia's castle. She then orders the soldiers to march forward, and a full-scale battle between the two forces erupts.

Midway through the battle, Hortensia taunts Alear with an Emblem Ring of her own. Alear is confused by her ability to summon the Emblem, and she explains that the ring was empowered by Sombron. She refers to it as the Ring of the Princess Exalt, which Alear recognizes as one of the rings that Lumera was guarding. Despite her newfound power, Alear manages to defeat her forces, and she orders her army to retreat. Afterwards, Vander deduces that Elusia possesses five rings, including the Ring of the Lady of the Plains. The group then prepares to leave for Brodia Castle. Meanwhile, Veyle fights off Corrupted within the village at the border, and reminisces about her lost sibling.
