— Chrom, urging Robin to defeat Validar once and for all
|
Invisible Ties is the premonition chapter in Fire Emblem Awakening. This chapter introduces two of the game's main characters as they take on a sorcerer. Basic mechanics are introduced in this chapter.
Plot
- Main article: Invisible Ties (premonition)/Script
A nobleman named Chrom and his companion Robin are locked in fierce combat with a sorcerer named Validar. During a lull in the fight, Chrom reaffirms to Robin that s/he is one of "them" in spite of any destiny that says otherwise. The two eventually defeat Validar, and Chrom helps Robin recover and presumes victory. However, Robin's vision suddenly goes red, and s/he impales Chrom with a bolt of lightning. Chrom tells Robin that this was not their fault and begs them to flee before succumbing to his wound and dying, and Validar is heard laughing.
Summary
In a vision that feels neither real nor dreamed, Robin and Chrom defeat the mage Validar. But in the vision's last moments, events take an unexpected turn.

The chapter's map is 25 columns by 25 rows; a barrier, however, prevents the use of any area of the map below row 9 regardless of column (this includes two special tiles on row 17 as detailed below). It is unknown why this map is far larger than necessary.
Character data
The player will have access to two units in this chapter, Chrom and Robin. Both have setups used only in this chapter; they do not take on their default setups until the next chapter. The weapons used in this chapter are not retained afterward.
Item data
There are no items obtained in this chapter.
Shop data
There is no shop in this chapter.
- Column 7, row 17: On a stairs tile within the left grouping of pillars.
- Column 19, row 17: On a stairs tile within the right grouping of pillars.
As a barrier prohibits the player from moving either Chrom or Robin onto or below row 10 regardless of column, these two event tiles are inaccessible to the player.
