[[File:Cg fe11 evt 04.png|thumb|left|Nyna bestows upon Marth the Fire Emblem and names him leader of the Archanean League]] With Aurelis secured, Marth was given the sacred relic known as the [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Fire Emblem]], and the forces resisting Dolhr united under Marth's leadership, symbolized and granted by the shield. The united forces under Marth were dubbed "The Archanean League". The Archanean League traveled south to the Holy Kingdom of Archanea itself, with Marth at it's command.  After being attacked by Macedon's princess, [[Minerva]], and her subordinates, the [[Whitewings]], being forced to make a brief detour to [[Pyrathi]], and to defeat its [[Manakete]] King [[Mannu]], Marth was approached by [[Catria]] of Macedon's Whitewings squadron, who informed him of the plight of Minerva and more importantly her sister, [[Maria]], the latter held hostage by their cruel brother [[Michalis]] to force Minerva to serve Dolhr.  On this news, Marth led the League to [[Archanea (nation)|Castle Deil]] to free Maria, and the grateful Minerva joined with his forces to free Macedon, as did the three Whitewings later in the War.  From this victory, they marched on the Archanean capital [[Pales]] and liberated it from the Dolhr occupation under [[Volzhin]].
