Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem: Difference between revisions

'''''Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem''''' (Japanese: {{hl|ファイアーエムブレム　紋章の謎|Faiāemuburemu monshō no nazo}} ''Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem'') is a turn-based tactical role-playing game released in 1994 for the [[Super Famicom]], exclusively in Japan. It is the third game installment in the {{FES}}, the first for Super Famicom, and in part a direct continuation of the story of the original game, {{FE1}}, again set on the continent of [[Archanea (continent)|Archanea]] and following the adventures of [[Marth]] of [[Altea]].

During the Super Famicom's lifespan, ''Mystery of the Emblem'' was supported with the release of {{FEBS}}, a series of four chapters broadcast through the [[wikipedia:Satellaview|Satellaview]] satellite radio streaming service which told new stories featuring other members of the cast in adventures leading up to Marth's own. The first few chapters of Book 1 were also adapted into a short-lived [[wikipedia:Original video animation|original video animation]] series, ''[[Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (anime)|Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem]]'', which received an English-language dub long before the ''Fire Emblem'' games themselves began international releases.

Gotoh sent Marth's army back to Altea with his [[Warp (staff)|warp]] magic, and Marth once again fought to free Altea from Archanean conquest. At the battle's end, Gotoh contacted him again to warn him of Gharnef's return, and that Gharnef was responsible for abducting Elice, Maria, and Lena for reasons unknown, and that he likely sought to abduct Nyna next. Marth resolved to lead a march on the Archanean capital itself, to stop Hardin and get to Nyna before Gharnef abducted her; unbeknownst to him, Nyna had already been given away to Gharnef by Hardin himself. After a long campaign, Hardin fell to Marth's army, and as he died his mind returned to him and he begged Marth to save Nyna and stop Gharnef. Having collected the final sphere from Hardin, the Fire Emblem was restored to its true form, the Binding Shield; Marth was approached by the four missing clerics, but the Shield's power revealed it to be an illusion cast by Gharnef. Gotoh then arrived and told Marth of how Gharnef was preparing to revive Medeus himself using the four clerics.

With the War of Heroes finally over, most of Archanea's noble houses were left in ruins. Almost all of its surviving rulers ceded sovereignty over their territories to Marth himself, and so Marth united the continent as the Archanean Alliance, serving as its first king with Caeda as his queen. Under Marth's reign, the continent experienced a golden era of peace and its wounds began to heal.
