The game begins with [[Chrom]] and the avatar, [[Robin]], in a strange building, fighting a man named [[Validar]]. After defeating him, Validar attempts to kill Chrom, but Robin takes the blow instead. With the battle seemingly won, Robin's eyes glow red and they stab Chrom in the stomach, killing him. There is an ominous laugh as the scene fades.

=== Ylissian-Plegian War ===
=== Ylissian-Plegian War ===
During the time of Emmeryn's reign over [[Ylisse]], Chrom began a small militia called the [[Shepherds (group)|Shepherds]]. On route to [[Southtown]], they encounter a collapsed amnesiac, Robin, and help them, but find themselves heading to South Town in order to deal with [[Plegia]]n Barbarians. After disposing of the threat, the group rests in a nearby forest, only to find the earth collapsing under their feet and setting fire to the forest. Eerie undead beings appear from a portal and try to kill Chrom and [[Lissa]]. Chrom disposes of one and with the help of a [[Lucina|man]] who appears through the portal, disposes of the second one. After killing the remainder of the beings, the masked man asks to be referred to as [[Marth]] and quickly leaves after telling the royal family that tonight was just a prelude to the future.

Chrom returns to Ylisse's capital and has a discussion with his [[Emmeryn|sister]] and the rest of the council about the new threat, deciding to call the undead beings [[Risen]]. Chrom is tasked to seek aide from the northern country of [[Regna Ferox]] and its [[Basilio|Khan]]. On route, Chrom's Shepherds are attacked by Risen, but are able to defeat them. Chrom then arrives at Regna Ferox, but the border guard accuses him of lying about his noble birth. After winning the guards' trust after a long battle, the Shepherds arrive at Regna Ferox and talk to the East Khan, [[Flavia]]. While she is wiling to help, she requests the Shepherds' help to win ruling power from the East Khan in a tournament. The Shepherds fight for the East Khan against Marth and his warriors. Before battle, Chrom realizes Marth has a similar [[Parallel Falchion|Falchion]] to his own and the two clash in single combat, their battle skills and stances echoing one another. Marth lets a bit of his past slip, stating that his father taught him how to fight, before he continues the assault against Chrom. After Chrom wins, Marth disappears, leaving the prince to gain a new ally in Regna Ferox.

[[Gangrel]], the King of Plegia, then threatens Ylisse with war over the fact that Ylissean noblewoman [[Maribelle]] crossed the border. Plegian barbarians then attempt to take Emmeryn's life, but Chrom steps in and he kills one of them, giving Gangrel reason to declare war between Plegia and Ylisse. After saving Maribelle, the Shepherds and their Exalt return back to the capital. That night, Marth again returns to warn Chrom of the impending future and does so by drawing his blade. Speaking, he says, "I am about to save your life--from him", then quickly jumps into the air and slashes downwards, killing an assassin who sought to kill Chrom. Marth asks if this proves his claims, and Chrom answers in the affirmative just before a second assassin attempts to strike down Marth. The assassin is able to cut Marth's mask in two before Chrom kills the attacker. It is then revealed that Marth is actually a woman. Marth and Chrom then head into the castle to defend Emmeryn from more assassins, defeating their mysterious leader, [[Validar]]. Marth then leaves the royal family, as they are once more safe. However, in the darkness, something revives Validar.

Emmeryn is brought to a second castle, but along the way, the Shepherds are ambushed. Emmeryn decides to return to Ylisse, but not before handing the [[Fire Emblem (item)|Fire Emblem]] to Chrom, instructing him to take care of it. Chrom and the group ask Regna Ferox for aide as the two countries go to war against Plegia. At the height of the war, Emmeryn is taken hostage while Gangrel demands that Chrom give him the Fire Emblem in exchange for her return. Instead of allowing Chrom to save her by giving up the Fire Emblem, Emmeryn decides to sacrifice herself to protect her people. She walks off the edge of the cliff where she is held hostage, ending her life and severely damaging the morale of the Plegian army. Chrom and his shepherds then continue their assault on Plegia, eventually killing Gangrel and bringing peace back to the continent.

On the return route, Marth returns to protect Chrom from being killed by Risen, and inadvertently calls him her father. She reveals her true name, Lucina, and that she has traveled from ten years in the future to prevent [[Grima (character)|Grima's]] reawakening.

=== Grima's Return and the Ending ===
=== Grima's return and the ending ===
Searching for the last remaining gemstone for the Fire Emblem, Chrom heads to Plegia on the request of Validar. It is there that Validar ambushes Chrom and his troops. Before they can escape, Validar takes control of Robin, explaining that since Robin is actually his child, Validar can use Grima's blood between them to control them. After obtaining the Fire Emblem from Chrom, Validar escapes to the [[Dragon's Table]]. Thousands of mind controlled people arrive at the table and the Shepherds defeat Validar before he can revive Grima. However, the hierophant from before arrives and states that they are the Robin of the future and use the remaining energy and life force in Dragon's Table to refuel their energy, making the dragon form of Grima reappear.
