===Before the Decision===
===Before the Decision===
Corrin dreams of a battlefield where forces from [[Hoshido]] clash with the [[Nohr]] army, and both sides ask Corrin to fight with them. Corrin is then awoke by [[Felicia]] and [[Flora]] in the Northern Fortress, where Corrin grew in seclusion with the royal family of Nohr. After a training round with [[Xander]], Corrin is allowed to finally leave the castle and the royal family departs to Windmire to meet with King [[Garon]], their father. The king gives Corrin the sword [[Ganglari]] to kill two Hoshidan prisoners, [[Kaze]] and [[Rinkah]], as a test of loyalty and ability. Corrin defeats the prisoners but refuses to kill unarmed foes, enraging Garon. The king then decides to send Corrin on a simple mission to scout a fort near the Bottomless Canyon as a punishment. The fort proves to be occupied by Hoshidan forces, and while retreating Corrin falls into the canyon. [[Lilith]] then appears and takes Corrin to [[My Castle|a pocket dimension]], revealing herself to be an Astral Dragon. When sent back to the normal world, Corrin is captured by Rinkah and brought to Hoshido.

Corrin defeats the prisoners but refuses to kill unarmed foes, enraging Garon. The king then decides to send Corrin, their servant Felicia/Jakob (dependent on their gender), their mentor [[Gunter]], and a reformed criminal named [[Hans]] on a simple mission to scout a fort near the Bottomless Canyon as a punishment. The fort proves to be occupied by Hoshidan forces, and Hans betrays Corrin and knocks Gunter into the Canyon on Garon's orders. While retreating, Corrin also falls into the Canyon. [[Lilith]] then appears and takes Corrin to [[My Castle|a pocket dimension]], revealing herself to be an Astral Dragon. When sent back to the normal world, Corrin is captured by Rinkah and brought to Hoshido.


However, in place of being executed, Corrin is recognized as the lost member of the Hoshidan royal family, kidnapped by Garon during a previous war with Nohr. Corrin struggles to accept the Hoshidan as a family and Queen [[Mikoto]] as a mother until meeting [[Azura]], a Nohr princess kidnapped by the Hoshidan in the same manner as Corrin. During the ceremony where the return of Corrin was to be publicly announced, Mikoto is killed by ghastly warriors using Ganglari, revealing that Corrin served as a vessel for the sword to kill Mikoto and take down the barrier keeping Nohr forces out of Hoshido. Enraged and grieving, Corrin transforms into a [[Feral Dragon]], the attackers are killed and Azura manages to make Corrin return to human form. After receiving a [[dragonstone]] from Azura to help control the dragon form, Corrin is brought to a battlefield similar to the opening dream, where the royal families of Hoshido and Nohr will fight.

Corrin sides with Hoshido, refusing to serve King Garon, and the Hoshidan royals force their Nohr counterparts to retreat. Soon afterward, Corrin, along with [[Sakura]], helps in the defense of Fort Jinya against Nohr invaders, recruiting [[Silas|an old Nohr friend]] in the process, and learns about the disappearance of [[Ryoma]] and [[Takumi]] near [[Izumo]]. While passing through Wind Tribe territory, Corrin's soldiers and Wind Tribe combatants are tricked into attacking each others by [[Iago]], Garon's advisor. Corrin's army is then forced to fight the Wind Tribe to prove their innocence, but eventually reaches Izumo after recruiting [[Hayato|a young Wind Tribe diviner]] and [[Hinoka]]. In Izumo, they are ambushed by [[Zola]], a Nohr mage impersonating Duke [[Izana]]. At the end of the fight, Zola is taken as a prisoner and [[Leo (Fates)|Leo]], of the Nohr royal family, briefly appears, letting Corrin notice a change for the worst in his behavior. Heading for the Bottomless Canyon to investigate the site of a recent battle, Corrin's army is attacked by the [[Mokushu]] ninjas, who were promised lands if they sided with Nohr against Hoshido. During the battle, a entranced [[Takumi]] appears and is reasoned by Azura's chants. The prince tells about how he and Ryoma were attacked by overwhelming Nohr forces before falling in the Bottomless Canyon and losing memories of the next events. Corrin's forces also free [[Kagero]], one of Ryoma's retainers, who reports that the crown prince went for [[Cheve]] in Nohr after hearing about a civil strife. The party ships a boat to travel to Nohr, but they are attacked by the same warriors that killed Mikoto. Zola gains the trust of Takumi by taking a blow in his place.

In [[Cyrkensia]], Corrin meets [[Kaden]] and [[Layla]], a singer who must perform for Garon despite her mother dying. Azura sees an opportunity to use Zola's illusions to make her look like Layla while singing, letting the others set an ambush against the Nohr king. However, Garon reveals that he was prepared for the attack and Zola is revealed to be a spy. But the mage asks that Corrin be spared and Garon kills him, his show of cruelty shocking Corrin once again. Overwhelmed, Corrin must retreat and is briefly confronted by [[Xander]] until [[Elise]] interrupts him. Afterwards, Azura is shown collapsing of exhaustion for a short while, but assures Corrin she is fine. In Cheve, Corrin fights [[Camilla]] and her retainers.

Corrin is unable to betray their Nohrian kin, and together they repel the Hoshidan army. When they return to Castle Krakenburg, Garon and Iago accuse Corrin of being a Hoshidan spy. To test their loyalty, Garon sends them on a suicide mission to the Ice Tribe to quell a rebellion single-handedly. With the aid of Elise, who defies Garon's orders, Corrin successfully stops the rebellion without a single death. Afterwards, Garon sends them to conquer Notre Sagesse. Along the way, Corrin encounters Azura and rescues her from a group of Hoshidans who intend to kill her due to her Nohrian heritage. Realizing she has no more place in Hoshido, she joins Corrin. Corrin also gets into confrontations with Takumi, who is enraged over Corrin's betrayal, and Hinoka, who is bitterly resigned to their choice. During the battle with Takumi, Camilla returns and joins Corrin's forces. The group meets the Rainbow Sage, who advises Corrin to unlock the Seal of Flames to bring peace to the continent. He alters the Yato to become more receptive towards the power of the Divine Weapons. Afterwards, Iago appears and orders Corrin to kill the Sage; they are spared the pain of doing the deed when the Sage dies of natural causes.

On the way home to Nohr, Elise becomes severely ill, and Corrin is ambushed by Ryoma while trying to get her medicine. After repelling Ryoma, who still believes Corrin can be swayed back to Hoshido, Corrin is sent to put down another rebellion in Cheve. When they arrive, they discover Hoshidan forces led by Takumi are supporting the rebellion. After defeating the rebels, much to Corrin's horror, Garon's men massacre rebels and civilians alike. Azura also notes that Takumi is becoming increasingly hostile and that he has changed for the worse since Mikoto's death. The group goes to Cyrkensia to recuperate, and Leo joins them in beating back an assassination attempt against Garon. In the wake of the battle, Leo's [[Brynhildr]] powers up Corrin's Yato, transforming it into the Grim Yato. Afterwards, Azura disappears into a lake, and Corrin follows them into [[Valla|a strange, invisible realm]]. There, Azura explains that Garon has been killed and replaced with a horrific monster, and the two agree to conquer Hoshido, place Garon on the Hoshidan Throne of Truth to reveal his true form, and assassinate him.

Xander joins Corrin's group, and the reunited Nohrian siblings begin the invasion of Hoshido. They battle their way through several regions in the eastern half of the continent, including Mokushu, the Kitsune Hamlet, and the Wind Tribe village. Along the way, Lilith sacrifices herself to protect Corrin from a Faceless attack orchestrated by Iago. The group eventually arrives on the outskirts of Castle Shirasagi and battles Sakura and her forces. Sakura is defeated and captured, but Garon's men massacre her soldiers. The group next confronts and defeats Takumi at the Great Wall of Suzanoh; at the conclusion of the battle, his body begins to emit a noxious purple aura, and he jumps off the wall to his apparent death. However, the Nohrians are unable to recover a body, and Corrin maintains hope he may have survived. Afterwards, the group defeats Hinoka, but Corrin defies Garon's orders to execute her and convinces her to go into hiding until the war's conclusion. Finally, the party reaches the throne room entrance, where Ryoma, enraged by Hinoka's apparent murder, challenges Corrin to a duel to the death. Corrin emerges victorious, and Garon orders them to execute Ryoma or be considered a traitor. Upon learning that Hinoka's death was faked, Ryoma entrusts the future of the world to Corrin and commits seppuku.

Afterwards, Garon enters the throne room alone, and Iago confronts Corrin and exposes them for faking Hinoka's death. The two battle, and Corrin's forces defeat and kill Iago and the rest of Garon's loyalists. The group enters the throne room and discovers that Garon has been mutated into a monstrous slime creature. Garon attacks them, and Camilla, Leo, and Elise are initially unable to turn their weapons against their father, but Xander remains undaunted and rallies his siblings; his [[Siegfried]] empowers the Grim Yato and transforms it into the Shadow Yato. Corrin and their friends battle and destroy the false Garon. As they begin to celebrate, Corrin is nearly shot by a completely deranged Takumi. Azura quickly deduces he has fallen victim to the same corruption as Garon did, and all they can do for him is put him out of his misery. Corrin, hoping to sacrifice themself to quell Takumi's rage, allows him to attack them, sending them into a near-death state. There, Corrin meets the spirits of Mikoto, Ryoma, and the real Takumi, who explain that Takumi's heart and soul are dead and his corpse has been possessed and turned into a monster who will not stop until Nohr is razed to the ground. Takumi's soul entrusts Corrin with the power of the Fujin Yumi and revives them. Azura uses a forbidden, cursed song to weaken Takumi, and Corrin slays their brother; Takumi expresses his gratitude as he dies.

Afterwards, Azura disappears, and Corrin feels as if they will never see her again. They speculate with Xander as to what corrupted Garon and Takumi, but are unable to come to any conclusions. Xander is crowned King of Nohr, with the Hoshidan heir apparent Hinoka in attendance. Xander and Hinoka vow to maintain the newfound peace between Nohr and Hoshido. After the party, Corrin encounters Azura one last time, and she bids them farewell before vanishing.

Corrin cannot bear to choose one side over the other, and refuses to pick a side. Both Hoshido and Nohr brand him/her as a traitor, so Corrin runs away with [[Azura]] and [[Felicia]]/[[Jakob]]. Azura leads the way to the Bottomless Canyon, and tells Corrin to follow her and jump. They enter [[Valla]], and discover [[Gunter]], who is still alive. Azura explains that the dragon [[Anankos]] wishes to destroy humanity, and that due to a curse, they cannot speak about Valla outside of it; however, they must somehow get the Hoshidans and Nohrians to stop fighting each other and help destroy Anankos. A [[Arete|Vallite mage]] tells them to leave Valla, advice which Corrin heeds.
Faced with the hardest choice of their life, Corrin chickens out and refuses to pick a side. Hoshido and Nohr both randomly decide they are traitor and evil, and they are forced to follow Azura and jump off a cliff. Somehow, they don't die, and land in Valla, and [[Gunter]] appears and explains "JK, not dead." Azura then explains that there's a giant dragon named [[Anankos]] who wants to destroy humanity because they wouldn't worship him or something. She also says that they can't tell anyone because plot inconvenience, but they have to get the two countries who have hated each other since time immemorial for no adequately explained reason to stop killing each other and go kill the dragon.


Corrin runs around telling everyone to stop fighting, and somehow this works because Corrin is perfect and can do no wrong. Sakura is the first to come around. Then Izana sacrifices himself to guilt-trip Betrayal to join so he doesn't fall off a cliff and become betrayal. Then Camilla's boobs attack, and Corrin beats them up, so they join Corrin since Garon would kill them for their failure. (Why he didn't do this in Birthright is anyone's guess.) Then Elise randomly appears and joins you. Corrin tries to convince their older brothers to join, but while Ryoma considers it, Xander and Leo tell them to jump off a cliff. Fortunately for Corrin, this is the part where Garon decides now might be a good time to tell them he's totally going to destroy Nohr for giggles. Surprise, surprise, Xander and Leo bolt. Corrin meets the Rainbow Sage, who tells them to make all the Divine Weapons do it with the Yato to form the Fire Emblem. (Duuuuuuun-dun-dun-duuuuuuuuun-duuuuuuuuuuuuun!) Everyone goes to the cliff, Ryoma  shows up and help kill that jackass [[Hans]], and Xander, Leo, and the single worst unit in the game, Revelations [[Odin]], help kill that asshole Iago. (A king's adviser with a name like that, no-one in their right mind would trust him!) They all jump off a cliff, and some jackass shoots fire at them and kills [[Scarlet]]. (She's a rebel from Cheve. She's not really that important.)
Corrin attempts to convince people to stop fighting and join him; most are skeptical, but [[Sakura]] and [[Kaze]] believe Corrin and join him along with Sakura's retainers. While ascending the Eternal Stairway, Iago tricks them into killing Wind Tribe civilians, prompting them to meet their chief [[Fuga]] to apologize. After defeating him in battle, Fuga tells Corrin to go to Izumo to learn more about the Seal of Flames. There, [[Zola]] is impersonating the Archduke [[Izana]]. Zola claims to know nothing about the Seal of Flames, and Gunter calls Zola out on his lies. Zola then reveals himself and freezes the city. After Zola's defeat, he takes Sakura hostage, but [[Leo]] kills him for his cowardice. Corrin asks Leo to join him/her, and tells him that Garon is being controlled by someone else, but Leo refuses to listen to a traitor. Leo, however, reveals the path to where Izana was being imprisoned. They also find [[Takumi]] and his retainers, who join Corrin after Izana sacrifices himself to speak with the gods.


The group lands in Valla, and meets [[Anthony|Obviously Evil McBackstabby]]. McBackstabby guides them through Valla and nearly gets them killed a bunch of times, but it's OK because it was an accident! They also fight Zombeh Scarlet and lots of Zombeh parents. First, McBackstabby says "PLOT TWIST! I AM TRAITOR AND EVIL!" and it's a real big surprise and then you kill him. Then you kill Azura's mom, Zombeh [[Arete]]. Then Corrin kills Ryoma, Betrayal, and Sakura's mom Zombeh Mikoto. As she dies, she tells them Azura is their cousin, which causes a lot of problems if Corrin is a dude and married her, except nobody really cares. Then Ryoma, Betrayal, and Sakura's dad Zombeh [[Sumeragi]] appears and says "I KILLED YOUR MOTHER!!!" and then you kill him. Then Corrin realizes Scarlet had a flower nobody knew about, except Gunter knows about it for some reason. Gunter says "PLOT TWIST! I AM TRAITOR AND EVIL!" and everyone beats him up. Gunter says Garon killed all his guys, and that's why he turned evil, and everyone forgives him. Then Anankos appears. Ryoma, Xander, Betrayal, and Leo's Divine Weapons do it with the Yato and form the Omega Yato. Corrin beats up Anankos, who randomly summons Garon (he's a slime dude, BTW, if you didn't play Conquest or look up three paragraphs or so) and eats him to power up. Then everyone kills him to death. Azura and Lilith manage not to die, and everyone gives Corrin their own kingdom because they are so perfect... except it's a kingdom full of dead people and Zombehs. Congratulations...?
After freeing [[Kagero]] from the [[Mokushu]]jin, they go to Cheve to meet [[Ryoma]]. While at sea, [[Camilla]] and a group of knights attack on [[Garon]]'s orders. After Corrin's army defeats them, Corrin asks Camilla to join him. She agrees, as she would have been executed by Garon for failure if she returned home. When they arrive at Cyrkensia, they see that it is in ruins from a battle between Hoshidans and Nohrians. Each group believes the other is destroying the city, but it is actually the Vallites. After a battle against both, Azura calms [[Ryoma]] and [[Xander]] with her song. Corrin asks them to join him, but they refuse; Corrin then tells them to meet with him at the Bottomless Canyon when the skies change places. Corrin goes to meet the Rainbow Sage.


Oh, wait, I forgot Hinoka was there too. But no-one really cares.
Meanwhile, Xander returns to Nohr to discuss a matter with his father, and [[Hans]] and [[Iago]] discuss this, the latter believing Xander to have come under Corrin's influence. [[Elise]] overhears some of this, and believes that if Camilla is with Corrin, then Corrin must not be a traitor. Xander and Leo go to Garon, who is acting maniacally. Xander believes if they crush Hoshido, Garon will return to his former self, but Leo disagrees. Leo discusses how Garon might actually be controlled by someone else, as Corrin said, but Xander does not believe this. Xander mentions Corrin's request to meet him at the Bottomless Canyon.
 
Corrin and their army arrive at Port Dia. They are attacked by several Nohrians. Elise arrives to meet Corrin there. After beating the Nohrians in a fight, they go to Notre Sagesse to meet the [[Rainbow Sage (character)|Rainbow Sage]]. After passing his trial, he unlocks some of the Yato's power, transforming it into the Seal of Flames, the Alpha Yato. He says that it needs all five divine weapons together to become the Fire Emblem. The Rainbow Sage then dies of old age. They go to the Bottomless Canyon, and help Ryoma and [[Hinoka]] fight Hans's forces. They then go to defeat Iago, with the help of Xander and Leo. Then, they all enter Valla. On the way down, Chevois rebel leader [[Scarlet]] is killed by a mysterious figure, who claims to be a forgotten god. The others believe that there must have been a traitor.
 
They arrive in Valla, and are guided through by [[Anthony]], a Vallite boy. He appears to attempt to kill them numerous times, and several people agree that he is likely trying to kill them; however, Corrin says he/she believes in Anthony. Anthony leads Corrin alone through the back door of a fortress to prove he is not a traitor, and they are ambushed, Anthony revealing that he is a servant of Anankos. Corrin had planned for this, and the others come and rescue him. Anthony is then transformed into a Faceless by the fortress's magic, and killed by Corrin's army.
 
They fight [[Arete]], Azura's mother and the former queen of Valla, who is the mage from Corrin's first trip to Valla. She is now just a puppet with no memories of her life. After her death, she remembers her life, talks with Azura, and dies. In the castle, [[Mikoto]], Corrin's mother, attempts to trick Corrin into believing she is not a puppet. However, this is a lie which Corrin anticipated. They defeat her, and she regains her memories. She talks with Corrin, telling them she was Arete's sister, and dies. When Corrin is alone, he/she hears the same words from when Scarlet was killed, and is knocked out. He/she awakes to see Gunter, who suspects it may have been the same traitor discussed before. They meet up with Azura. They fight [[Sumeragi]], the father of the Hoshidan royals, who is revealed to be the cloaked swordsman who broke the Hoshidan barrier and killed Mikoto. After his defeat, he talks to Corrin about Mikoto, and then dies. Gunter reveals himself to be the traitor, controlled by Anankos. After Gunter's defeat, Corrin helps him overcome Anankos' control. He explains that Garon massacred his village and family after he refused an offer to directly serve him, causing a deep-seated grudge against the Nohrian royal family that Anankos took advantage of to control him. Anankos appears, and Ryoma's [[Raijinto]], Xander's [[Siegfried]], Takumi's [[Fujin Yumi]], and Leo's [[Brynhildr]] all power up Corrin's Alpha Yato, transforming it into the Omega Yato. Corrin and their companions wound Anankos, who summons Garon and eats him to restore his strength. However, Corrin is able to overcome him and finally slay him. Afterwards, Ryoma is crowned King of Hoshido, Xander is crowned King of Nohr, and the two grant some of their land to Corrin, who restores Valla as its new ruler. The three kingdoms finally forge an everlasting peace which Corrin and their families vow to uphold for the rest of their days.
