Corrin is then | 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 awoken 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, 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. | 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 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 other 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]], 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 brought to his senses 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. | In [[Cyrkensia]], Corrin meets [[Kaden]] and [[Layla]], a singer who must perform for Garon despite her mother dying.

After defeating Camilla, Corrin pushes through the Nohrian border and is accidentally drawn into a conflict with the wolfskin tribe led by [[Keaton]]. Afterwards, a rockslide occurs, potentially resulting in Kaze's death should he have not bonded with Corrin enough. As the group approaches Palace Macarath, Takumi contracts a deadly illness. With the aid of [[Flora]], the group finds medicine to treat him in Macarath and defeats an apparition of Iago, who warns Corrin that there is a traitor in their group. The group then reaches the Ice Tribe village, where Flora is forced to betray the group by Garon in order to protect the villagers. After her defeat, she commits suicide by self-immolation. | |||
Corrin next encounters Leo again, and defeats him in battle. However, Corrin refuses to slay the man they once called brother. Azura gives him a crystal that will reveal the true nature of the war to him, and Leo gives them a magic tome that transports them to Notre Sagesse. There, Corrin meets the Rainbow Sage, who blesses the Yato. The Yato resonates with Takumi's Fujin Yumi and transforms into the Noble Yato. Afterwards, the Hoshidans enter Fort Dragonfall, where Iago traps them inside using the power he got from Garon and summons Faceless against them. After the battle, with Azura's song power, the Hoshidans escape the fortress alive, and Azura sneaks away to hide the consequences of using her power. Corrin notices that it is getting worse, and she admits that the more powerful the target, the more energy she uses, and that using it too long would kill her. Corrin asks her not to use it too long again, fearing for her life. Azura complies but tells them that she will need to use it on Garon to end the war. Then, the Hoshidans push their way into Windmire and defeat Shura. There, they encounter Elise, who agrees to aid them in order to stop the fighting. | |||
After subduing Camilla one last time, the group encounters Hans once again. He kills Lilith with an attack meant for Corrin before being slain in battle. The Hoshidans next encounter Iago, who reveals that Takumi's brainwashing was not totally cured and that he has been unwittingly feeding intelligence to the Nohrians and used him to figure out their location each time throughout the entire war. Corrin manages to permanently break him free, and they defeat Iago once more, who then attempts to beg for his life, but he is interrupted by Leo, who calls him out for disgracing Nohr and Iago watches helplessly as Leo executes him, putting an end to his schemes for good. Leo gives them his blessing to proceed, but is unable to bring himself to battle his own father. The group then encounters Xander, the last person left guarding Garon, who challenges Corrin to a duel to the death. He initially overwhelms Corrin and prepares to strike them down, but Elise jumps in the way and is fatally wounded. Heartbroken at having accidentally killed his own sister, Xander forces Corrin to kill him. Before passing on forever, Xander tells Corrin to bring peace to the world as he could not and Xander says that Garon is not how he used to be, and Corrin promises to stop him for both of their sakes. | |||
With no one left in their way, Corrin finally reaches the throne room of Castle Krakenburg, and faces down Garon in battle. Ryoma's Raijinto resonates with the Noble Yato, transforming it into the Blazing Yato. While the Hoshidans initially gain the advantage, Garon transforms into a monstrous [[Blight Dragon]] and mortally wounds Corrin, destroying the Yato in the process. On the verge of death, Corrin has a vision of Xander, Elise, Flora and Lilith encouraging them to continue. Corrin returns from the brink, with the new restored Yato and Azura sings a forbidden cursed song to weaken Garon. The Hoshidans finally slay Garon once and for all, who then delivers some strange dying words that lead Corrin to wonder if he may have been dead all along. Afterwards, the power of the song drains all of Azura's life energy, killing her. | |||
In the aftermath, Ryoma is crowned King of Hoshido, with Leo and Camilla in attendance. Leo has taken over as the new King of Nohr when Camilla turns it down, not wanting to rule a kingdom. Ryoma vows to arrange a favorable peace treaty with Nohr to prevent another war in the future. Afterwards, Corrin briefly sees an apparition of Azura before reuniting with their beloved siblings. | |||

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. | Corrin is unable to betray their Nohrian kin, and together they repel the Hoshidan army.

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, accompanied by Hans. When they arrive, they discover Hoshidan forces led by Takumi are supporting the rebellion. After defeating the rebels, much to Corrin's horror, Hans massacres 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. | On the way home to Nohr, Elise becomes severely ill, and Corrin is ambushed by Ryoma while trying to get her medicine.

They battle their way through several regions in the eastern half of the continent, including Mokushu, Izumo, the Kitsune Hamlet, the Wind Tribe Village and the Eternal Stairway. Along the way, Lilith sacrifices herself to protect Corrin from a Faceless attack orchestrated by Iago. The group eventually arrives on the outskirts of Fort Jinya and battles Yukimura, Sakura and their forces. They are defeated and captured, but Garon's men massacre their 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 his body, and Corrin maintains hope he may have survived. Afterwards, the group reaches Castle Shirasagi and 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 they confront Ryoma and Iago throws Hinoka's lance to the ground, which Ryoma immediately recognizes, and Iago tells him that Corrin killed her. 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 and put to death. 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 and Hans confront Corrin and expose them for faking Hinoka's death. They battle, and Corrin's forces defeat and kill | Afterwards, Garon enters the throne room alone, and Iago and Hans confront Corrin and expose them for faking Hinoka's death and attempts to kill Corrin for treason, but Xander and the Nohrian royals betray Iago and Garon's loyalist, having had enough of their cruelty and disgraceful crimes, and without Garon to protect them any lonher, they challenge them to a duel to take back Nohr from them. They battle, and Corrin's forces defeat and kill Hans and the rest of Garon's loyalists and Leo personally executes Iago once and for all. With the death of Garon's loyalist, Corrin finally tells Xander and the others that the war is not over yet, as Garon is the only one yet to be slain and tells them he is no longer human and is controlled by someone or something truly unholy. The group enters the throne room and discovers that Garon, upon sitting on the throne, has been mutated into a monstrous slime creature, exposing his true form. Garon curses Corrin for tricking him and attacks the Nohrian royals, and Camilla, Leo and Elise are initially unable to turn their weapons against their father, but Xander remains undaunted and calls out Garon, telling him he is no longer his father and tells Corrin he will fight for them, then his [[Siegfried]] empowers the Grim Yato and transforms it into the Shadow Yato. Xander rallies his siblings to help fight Garon and Corrin and their friends battle and destroy the false Garon, putting an end to his reign of terror for good. | ||
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 put 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. | Afterwards, Azura disappears, and Corrin feels as if they will never see her again.

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. | Corrin cannot bear to choose one side over the other, and refuses to pick a side.

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]].

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. | 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 at sea, [[Camilla]], [[Flora]] and a group of Ice Tribe members 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, while Flora goes into hiding with the Ice Tribe. 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.

==Fan translation== | |||
{{main|Fan translation#Fire Emblem Fates}} | |||
Owing to the long window between Japanese and English release a group calling themselves "Team If"<ref>https://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?/topic/56220-team-if-fire-emblem-if-fanslation-all-chapters-and-paralogues-done/</ref> began work on a full text fan-translation of the game. The translation effort was bolstered when international previews and footage revealed the removal of the face petting [[My Castle]] minigame from international releases. | |||
The initial project was cancelled in March 2016,<ref>http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/03/fire_emblem_fates_fan_translation_project_shuts_up_shop</ref> but the patch received an update by a different team in December 2016 who used the same name.<ref>https://github.com/TeamIf/FireEmblemIf-FanTranslation</ref><ref>https://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?/topic/67613-fire-emblem-if-fan-translation-under-new-management/</ref> | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*In English ''Fates'' has the shortest subtitle in the ''Fire Emblem'' series, coming to a single word with five characters in English. In Japanese it ties with {{title|Awakening}} as the shortest subtitle, with both being single word subtitles comprised of two characters; [[wikipedia:Mora (linguistics)#Japanese|mora]]-wise, it is the shortest, however, with ''Awakening''{{'}}s Japanese subtitle being comprised of four morae (かくせい), with ''Fates'' only having two (イフ). | |||
*The Korean version of Fire Emblem Fates features both the Conquest and Birthright paths on one cartridge, but the Revelation path does not have a Korean translation. | |||
