'''''Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones''''' (ファイアーエムブレム 聖魔の光石, ''Faiā Emuburemu Seima no Kōseki'', literally "Fire Emblem: Shining Stones of Holiness and Evil") is the eighth game in the [[Fire Emblem (series)|Fire Emblem series]]. It is the third and last game released on the [[Game Boy Advance]], and the second game released outside of Japan, preceded by {{FE7}}.<ref>http://www.nindb.net/series/fire-emblem.html</ref> The game takes place on the continent of Magvel, which has not been featured in any other titles. ''The Sacred Stones'' features [[Eirika]] and [[Ephraim]]'s quest.
'''''Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones''''' (ファイアーエムブレム 聖魔の光石, ''Fire Emblem: Seima no Kōseki'', lit. ''Fire Emblem: Shining Stones of Holiness and Evil'') is a 2004 [[Game Boy Advance]] game. It is the eighth installment in the {{FES}}, the second installment to be released internationally, and the third and final installment released for the Game Boy Advance.<ref>http://www.nindb.net/series/fire-emblem.html</ref> The game is the only completely isolated title in the series, set in a completely separate world from all the others: [[Magvel]]. The game stars [[Eirika]] and [[Ephraim]], twin heirs to the kingdom of [[Renais]], as they combat the sudden aggression of their southern neighbour [[Grado]], and investigate the dark forces which caused their former ally to so swiftly turn on them and the rest of the world.
 
In 2011, ''The Sacred Stones'' was given a free limited reissue to early adopters of the [[Nintendo 3DS]], under the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program.  As with the other Game Boy Advance titles reissued under the program, Nintendo has stated that there are currently no plans to give them a wider release as a full Virtual Console set of titles.

==Magvel==
[[Magvel]] (known as '''Magi Val''' in Japan) is the continent that ''The Sacred Stones'' takes place on. It is divided into five kingdoms, each of which houses two Sacred Twin weapons that were used by the legendary heroes long before this game's events.
'''Renais''' is the kingdom ruled by King Fado and the home of Eirika and Ephraim. Its Sacred Twin weapons are Siegmund, the Thunder Sword, and Sieglinde, the Flame Lance.
<!--Seth:
Ah, here we go. This lance can only be one of the Sacred Twins of Renais. Please, Prince Ephraim, take this sacred relic and feel its weight.
Ephraim:
So this is one of our Sacred Twin relics, is it? I’ve never seen them. Look, there’s a name inscribed here. Siegmund, the Flame Lance.
Seth:
And this blade is sister to the lance, the other Sacred Twin of legend. Princess Eirika, if you would?
Eirika:
Of course. There’s a name carved here as well. Sieglinde, the Thunder Blade...-->
'''Frelia''' is the kingdom ruled by King Hayden and the home of Tana and Innes. Its Sacred Twin weapons are Nidhogg, the Serpent Bow, and Vidofnir, the Winged Lance.
<!--Innes:
Frelia’s Sacred Twins. Nidhogg, the Serpent Bow, and Vidofnir, the Winged Lance. I want you to take them.-->
'''Grado''' is the empire ruled by King Vigarde and the home of Lyon. Its Sacred Twin weapons are the dark magic tome Gleipnir and the black axe Garm.
<!--Ephraim:
These are called Sacred Twins. We took these relics from Grado. The dark tome Gleipnir and the black axe Garm... I doubt either of us can use them, but... Why not see if one of your companions can use them. They might have better luck.
So Gleipnir isn't really given a name...-->
'''Jehanna''' is the kingdom ruled by Queen Ismaire and the home of Joshua. Its Sacred Twin weapons are the wind blade Excalibur and the ice sword Audhulma.
<!--Eirika:
These are the Sacred Twin relics of Jehanna. The ice sword Audhulma and the wind blade Excalibur.-->
'''Rausten''' is the theocracy ruled by Pontifex Mansel and the home of L'Arachel. Its Sacred Twin weapons are the glorious light magic tome Ivaldi and the divine staff Latona.
<!--Mansel:
That's right, dear niece. These are the weapons of Saint Latona, most holy father of Rausten. Here, we have glorious Ivaldi, and its twin, the divine Staff of Latona. I will also spare some funding to feed and arm your forces. After all, these is much that you must do before you leave these halls.-->
'''Carcino''' is more recent country that has recently begun to rise in power. It is governed by a council of elders, making it different from the other countries; it seems to be an oligarchy (a country ruled by a small group of people) rather than a monarchy, as the other countries appear to be. It has no Sacred Twin weapons, since it was not founded by any of the legendary heroes.

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
The gameplay of the ''The Sacred Stones'' is, of course, turn-based strategy in the same vein as the whole {{FES}}. Specifically it is quite similar to {{title|Blazing Sword}} and {{title|Fuuin no Tsurugi}}, both also on the GBA.  
A turn-based strategy game as with the rest of the series, ''The Sacred Stones'' is built on the same engine as {{title|Blazing Sword}} and {{title|Fuuin no Tsurugi}}, but features a number of unique features which have only been seen before in {{FE2}} and since in {{FE13}}.

===World map===
===World map===
The main lord can travel around a world map to locations that usually are the sites of previous chapters. Sometimes monsters will appear in certain locations; traveling to these locations will result in a [[skirmish]], a brief battle with monsters. The player can retreat at any time, ending the battle. In addition to skirmishes, the lord can go to armories and shops in towns and buy weapons and supplies. However, [[secret shop]]s and [[arena]]s cannot be accessed from the world map. The next chapter's location is marked by a flag; after the chapter is cleared, another new point appears.
In this game, like in {{FE2}}, the game's world map is manually traversible by the player. Sometimes monsters will appear in certain locations; traveling to these locations will result in a [[skirmish]], a brief battle with monsters. The player can retreat at any time, ending the battle. In addition to skirmishes, the lord can go to armories and shops in towns and buy weapons and supplies. However, [[secret shop]]s and [[arena]]s cannot be accessed from the world map. The next chapter's location is marked by a flag; after the chapter is cleared, another new point appears.

After the game ends, a mode called the Creature Campaign is unlocked, in which the player can train the characters endlessly in the above methods. Special characters can be unlocked for use such as Fado, Ismaire, and Lyon. Skirmishes continue to appear, and in the Lagdou Ruins, many different rare items can be found.
{{main|Creature Campaign}}
The Creature Campaign is a post-game mode, similar in vein to the [[Trial Maps]] of earlier and later games, in which the player can train the characters endlessly in the above methods. Special characters can be unlocked for use such as Fado, Ismaire, and Lyon. Skirmishes continue to appear, and in the Lagdou Ruins, many different rare items can be found.

{{main|Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones prototype}}
A prototype build of the Japanese version of ''The Sacred Stones'' was leaked to the public in 2009 and is available in patch form via [http://www.serenesforest.net/fe8/prototype.html Serenes Forest].  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 all 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.
