===The fall of Renais=== | ===The fall of Renais=== | ||
In the castle of [[Renais]], troops from [[Grado]] have breached the castle. Fearing the safety of his daughter [[Eirika]], [[Fado|King Fado]] sends his paladin [[Seth]] to take Eirika to safety. On his way out, they are attacked by [[Valter]], a Grado soldier, and several bandits. Soon they meet [[Franz]] and [[Gilliam]] at Mulan, a border town of Renais and Frelia, and rescue Princess [[Tana]] of Frelia. In Frelia they meet [[Hayden|King Hayden]], who sends his vassals Gilliam, [[Vanessa]], and [[Moulder]] to help. Eirika decides to go to Grado and help her brother, despite Hayden's advice to stay safe. | In the castle of [[Renais]], troops from [[Grado (country)|Grado]] have breached the castle.

As they travel past the village of [[Ide]], where they meet retired war General [[Garcia (The Sacred Stones)|Garcia]] and his ambitious son [[Ross]], Eirika's bracelet is stolen, and Seth insists that they recover it. She retrieves it from [[Colm]], a snide young thief, with the help of his childhood friend, a tearful archer named [[Neimi]]. Colm had gone to the hideout of the Bandits of [name] to steal from them. With the help of Neimi, Eirika and her companions located the hideout and eliminated the bandits. Meanwhile, Generals [[Duessel]], [[Selena (The Sacred Stones)|Selena]], and [[Glen]] of Grado talk about the strange behavior of [[Vigarde]], the king of Grado. Normally, Grado would never attack Renais, a longtime ally. Vigarde introduces three new generals to help in the conquest of the continent: [[Riev]], [[Caellach]], and [[Valter]]. | As they travel past the village of [[Ide]], where they meet retired war General [[Garcia (The Sacred Stones)|Garcia]] and his ambitious son [[Ross]], Eirika's bracelet is stolen, and Seth insists that they recover it.

A prototype build of the Japanese version of ''The Sacred Stones'' was leaked to the public in 2008 and is available in patch form | A prototype build of the Japanese version of ''The Sacred Stones'' was leaked to the public in 2008 and is available in patch form [[:File:The Sacred Stones prototype 0513 Patch.zip|here]]. The prototype is dated at five months before the Japanese retail release of the game, and compared to the leaked {{title|Blazing Sword}} prototypes, it is vastly incomplete and prototypical. At this stage in development, the game is largely unmodified from ''Blazing Sword'' with most of that game's graphics and music. Only the first eight chapters are even remotely started on, with only the barest infrastructure existing for the rest of the game, and only a handful of characters have portraits, some of which are vastly different from the finished release. | ||
