''Thracia 776'' is a [[wikipedia:Midquel|midquel]] to its predecessor, {{FE4}}, set entirely in [[Jugdral]]'s [[Thracia]]n Peninsula during the year [[Timeline of Archanea, Valentia and Jugdral|Grann 776]]; this places it approximately before and during [[Heir of Light|the sixth]], [[Beyond the Desert|seventh]], and [[The Dracoknights of Thracia|eighth chapters]] of ''Genealogy of the Holy War''.  It stars [[Leif]], a playable character in the second generation of ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', and details his revolutionary struggle against the [[Grannvale]] Empire's occupation of the [[Manster District]].  While ''Thracia 776'' fundamentally tells the same story about Leif depicted in passing in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', there are some minor changes to the events of the prior game.

In the aftermath of the [[Battle of Belhalla]] in Grann 761, almost the entirety of the continent of [[Jugdral]] fell under the domination of [[Grannvale]], now an empire headed by Emperor [[Arvis]]. The [[Manster District]] was subjugated by [[Thracia]] following the deaths of  Prince [[Quan]] of [[Leonster]] and his wife [[Ethlyn]] in the [[Yied Massacre]], forcing the Leonster knight [[Finn]] and his wife [[Lachesis]] to flee Leonster with Quan's infant son [[Leif]]; however, shortly after its capture of the District, Thracia was defeated by Grannvale and forced to cede control of the Manster District to Grannvale's House [[Friege]], becoming a servant state to Grannvale.

===Captivity and escape===
===Captivity and escape===
Leif and Lifis were imprisoned in a dungeon in the bowels of Manster Castle, while Eyvel was taken by Raydrik to participate in gladiator battles. While in captivity, Leif met fellow captives [[Felgus]] and [[Karin]], while Lifis earned the loyalty of a small band of imprisoned bandits. The dungeon was soon invaded by the [[Magi]], a group of freedom fighters led by Prince [[Ced (character)|Ced]] of [[Silesse]], who set about freeing its many prisoners. Ced entrusted his four companions to assist Leif in escaping Manster and forming a liberation army, staying behind to continue the fight himself with his remaining Magi forces.

With the Magi's assistance, Leif broke out of the dungeon into the main castle, where Nanna and Eyvel were fighting in an arena under the observation of Raydrik and his benefactor, [[Veld]] of the [[Loptyrians]]. Following Eyvel's successes in the arena, Raydrik introduced a new challenger: Mareeta, now controlled by the malevolent power of the [[Shadow Sword]]. By the time Leif and the Magi unlocked the arena to free them, Eyvel had been [[Status conditions#Petrification|turned to stone]] by Veld's [[Stone (tome)|dark magic]], forcing them to leave her behind as they escaped Manster.

===Quest for Tahra===
===Quest for Tahra===
Upon fleeing Manster Leif quickly moves south ahead of Raydrik's pursuing forces. Leif, begrudgingly accepting [[August]]'s advice to request aid from Thracia, flees to [[Meath]] and are placed under protection by [[Hannibal]], renowned general of Thracia. Coincidentally, several of Leif's allies who had been patrolling Manster's outskirts planning to rescue Leif, are captured by Hannibal's security due to their suspicious behavior. Leif gives Hannibal an alias and says that he and his allies were arrested for their opposition to the [[child hunts]].
Leif tells Hannibal that he is headed for [[Tahra]] and Hannibal frees his captured allies and sends [[Carrion]], a knight under his tutelage, with him. They make for Tahra through the mountains west of Meath. During their journey Leif regroups with [[Dagdar]]'s bandits and meets with Leonster refugees. Carrion also informs Leif that Hannibal did not fall for his alias and is aware of his status as the lost prince; Hannibal's wishes for liberation from the Empire are the same as the people's. Leif's journey to Tahra grows in importance when he learns from the refugees's contact at Tahra, [[Glade]], that the city will be under siege from the Empire soon.
The journey to Tahra is long; Leif has to pass through Dandrum Fortress, clashing with [[Kempf]] and meeting [[Reinhardt]]'s younger sister [[Olwen]]. Leif also encounters the [[Dandelion Bandits]] who subsequently ally themselves with the Fiana Freeblades.
Leif barely arrives before the Empire's full assault, and slips into the city among the fighting. He and his forces attempt to defend the city but they and the city's defenses are far outmatched. [[Areone]], the prince of Thracia, flies into the city and meets with [[Linoan]], the mayor. Areone convinces her and Leif's forces to flee the city under the promise that the city will come under Thracia's protection.
===Leonster's liberation and aftermath===
===Leonster's liberation and aftermath===
Having fled Tahra, Leif's forces come to the agreement to liberate Leonster and then head for Manster. However, there were two options to Leonster, one suggested by [[Dorias]] and one by [[August]]. Dorias claims it is important that they fight openly so that they may inspire the people, while August suggests they use guerilla tactics and stay hidden. It is up to Leif to decide; Dorias's path takes the groups along the coast and straight through the Empire's checkpoints while August's takes them through a [[Loptyrian]]-infested forest.
Regardless, Leif's forces arrive at Manster and and proceed to attack it. Heading the oversight of Manster is [[Gustaf]]. Gustaf, using their families as bargaining chips for their loyalty, has a legion of Leonster knights attack Leif's forces. Leif is able to convince them to stand down after freeing their families and liberates Leonster.
Shortly after freeing the castle, a desperate woman from [[Alster]] begs Leif to rescue the rebels that attempted to repel the Empire. Leif agrees to help Alster, though he would soon come to learn that this was a grave error.
Both August and Dorias attempt to convince Leif to not intervene; they remind him that his current victories against the Empire were purely due to their mistakes and that they cannot face them head-on. Leif still insists on helping Alster; Dorias offers to lead the opening forces and tells August to stay with Leif and to follow with their own assault in the morning.
The next morning comes and Leif's half of the forces depart to assist Dorias's. However, they receive the grim news that Dorias fell in battle, his accompanying forces have scattered attempting to flee, and the Empire's full army is retaliating. Leif and his allies then retreat back to Leonster castle and are trapped in a siege for the next six months. They are barely able to hold out in time for [[Seliph]]'s liberation army to arrive and cause the Empire to flee. Leif and Seliph agree to regroup at Manster and part ways.

Compared to ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', ''Thracia 776'' returns to a conventional {{FES}} mold in its gameplay, featuring a large number of smaller, more tightly-focused chapters and a broader cast. Among English-speaking ''Fire Emblem'' communities, ''Thracia 776'' is widely regarded as the most difficult and unforgiving title in the series, matched in its difficulty only by {{FE10}}, owing to both the pressure placed upon the player by several unique mechanics and its challenging map layouts.

===Stat changes===
===Stat changes===
The [[resistance]] stat, which normally acts as a unit's defensive stat against magical attacks, is entirely absent in ''Thracia 776''; instead, a unit's magical defense is determined by their [[Magic (stat)|magic stat]] in addition to its usual role of determining offensive magical power. The game introduced the [[constitution]] stat to the series, providing units with a way to mitigate how much their weapons' [[Weight (weapon)|weight]] slows them down in battle; unlike later games, constitution has its own [[growth rate]], allowing it a chance to increase in [[level|Level Up]]s. Similarly, [[movement]] also has a growth rate exclusively in this game, albeit typically a unit's movement growth is very small.
''Thracia 776'' added some unique stats, many of which have not returned. The [[action]] stat, or "movement stars", gives units a chance of being able to move again after ending their turn, depending on how many stars they have.  The [[follow-up critical coefficient]] is a hidden value which multiplies a unit's [[critical hit]] chance on the second attack when they double-attack an enemy.  Both of these stats are set in stone and cannot be modified by the player in normal gameplay.  The [[fatigue]] stat is a value which increases for all units (except Leif) for performing actions in a battle. Once their fatigue exceeds their [[HP]], they are worn out and cannot participate in the next chapter. If a unit is not deployed in a chapter, their fatigue will reset to 0.  


Three other stats are unique to ''Thracia 776''. The [[action]] stat, or "movement stars", gives units a percentage chance at being allowed a fresh turn of movement after completing an action, depending on how many stars they have. The [[pursuit critical coefficient]] is a hidden value which gives units heightened chances of unleashing [[critical hit]]s when counter-attacking.  Both of these stats are set in stone and cannot be modified by the player in normal gameplay. The [[fatigue]] stat is a value which increases for all units except Leif for performing actions in a battle; once their fatigue exceeds their [[HP]], they are worn out and cannot participate in the next chapter, with their fatigue meter resetting to allow them to be used again afterward.
The game also made changes to stats seen in other games. [[Leadership]] makes a return here, but this time it gives a hit and avoid boost to all units in the same affiliation, depending on the total number of leadership stars from the units deployed in the map. The [[resistance]] stat, which normally acts as a unit's defensive stat against magical attacks, is entirely absent in ''Thracia 776''. Instead, this role is taken on by the [[Magic (stat)|magic stat]], in addition to the stat's usual role of determining offensive magical power. The game also introduced the [[constitution]] stat to the series, providing units with a way to mitigate how much their weapons' [[Weight (weapon)|weight]] slows them down in battle. Unlike later games, constitution has its own [[growth rate]], allowing it a chance to increase in [[level|Level Up]]s.  Similarly, units can also grow [[movement]] through leveling up in this game, although the growth rates are extremely low.

While ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' introduced lettered weapon levels themselves, ''Thracia 776'' implemented the form they would take for the rest of the series. Weapon levels are no longer static and pre-determined based on class and [[Holy Blood]], and instead increase through ongoing use of weapons and accumulation of [[weapon experience]].

The skills system remains mostly the same as in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', introducing no new skills; the [[Follow-Up]] and [[Critical (skill)|Critical]] skills have been removed, with the functions for determining double-attacking and critical hit execution now the same as the rest of the series as opposed to depending on the presence of the skills. ''Thracia 776'' introduced [[Skill items|a set of one-use items]] to teach a select collection of skills to any playable unit, replacing the skill rings of its predecessor.
