“	This is a message from Lord Nergal. "I await you on the Dread Isle." This is a message from Lord Nergal. "I await you on the Dread Isle." This is a message...	”	— Denning

Sands of Time (Japanese: 悠久の黄砂 Eternal Sand) is the twenty-ninth chapter of Eliwood's tale and thirty-first of Hector's tale in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.

Plot

Main articles: Sands of Time/Script (Eliwood) and Sands of Time/Script (Hector)

Athos recounts his and Nergal's studies in Arcadia.

The group arrives in Ostia; a soldier greets Hector and informs him that Uther has departed for a conference in Etruria. Inside the castle, Athos explains his history with Nergal. Athos met and befriended Nergal 500 years ago in the Nabata Desert, when they were in search of knowledge. One day, they discovered Arcadia in Nabata, where dragons lived in harmony with humans. Nergal and Athos erected a magical barrier to hide Arcadia and lived there for centuries, studying in their libraries. In Arcadia, Nergal learned how to steal quintessence and use it as power. Nergal was banished from Arcadia and fled to Bern, where he began making morphs.

Athos is interrupted by a soldier alerting that the castle is under attack. The group concludes that the forces were sent by Nergal and take to defending the throne.

The lead morph, Denning, repeats "This is a message from Lord Nergal: 'I await you on the Dread Isle.'" Lyn tells Eliwood to not overexert himself; Eliwood coldly responds that he is fine. Nils absent-mindedly wanders onto the battlefield before being shuffled off to a safe room.

The group manages to fend off the invaders long enough for reinforcements arrive and repel Nergal's forces. No longer under threat, Athos continues his story. Once Athos discovered how much more powerful Nergal had become, he assumed Nergal's next target would be the dragons of Arcadia, and prepared to defend it. However, Nergal instead went to the Dragon's Gate and called Ninian and Nils through it. Athos tells the group that the legendary weapons are their last hope, and he will go to Bramimond to seek his help in obtaining as many of them as possible to stop Nergal. Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn declare that they will go to Dread Isle to suppress Nergal's army of morphs and prevent him from ravaging Lycia any further.

Before Athos leaves, he ensures that Eliwood and Hector—in his tale—still have Durandal and Armads. They confirm that they still have the weapons, but have been uncomfortable with using them; however, they promise that they will not hesitate to use them against Nergal.

Later that night, Hector confronts Oswin about Uther; Hector threatens to kill him for keeping the secret, but Oswin remains silent. Hector concludes that Uther has died of his illness, and leaves the throne room alone.

Nergal returns to the Dragon's Gate with Ninian's quintessence and her dragonstone; he infuses the dragonstone with Ninian's quintessence, creating a tool which enables him to call dragons from the gate whenever he pleases. Nergal decides to wait and gather more quintessence from Eliwood's forces in order to recover from Athos's attack before calling the dragons, as they may break free of his control and kill him if he is too weak.

Strategy

The last defend map of the game. The map features multiple Druids armed with status staves as well as quite a few Shamans. On Eliwood mode, you fight a metric ton of Archers, while on Hector mode, some of those Archers are swapped out for Knights. In both modes, there are a lot of poison weapons among the enemy ranks, which is a very good thing. There's one of each status staff on the map, which can spell disaster if your Restore users get targeted by them (EHM throws in an extra Sleep caster for good measure), so it's a good idea to deploy at least 3 staff users that can use Restore.

Deploy your strongest units with strong 1-2 range (for Archers and Shamans) or high firepower (for Hector mode Knights), such as Pent and Louise, Vaida, Harken, Hawkeye etc. into the 4-man "island" away from the rest of the party; they will be responsible for most of the killing, as well as dealing with the boss. One of them (usually Pent), will need to carry Restore and be able to use it. The rest of the party stays up near the throne to start out; they also need at least one Restore caster with staff. It's also a good idea to give one of them a Chest Key to loot the Body Ring chest as they fight their way over.

You can somewhat ignore the green units. Their stats are complete garbage and are lucky to last more than 2 rounds of combat without dying. The most they will do is be a distraction for a few enemies and keeping that fire off of your units, which can even be annoying or bad if using the strategy described below. There's no reward for keeping them alive, so don't bother with them.

The first order of business is to intentionally get as many of your own units poisoned as you safely can. Counterintuitive as it may be, it actually makes the status staff users easier to deal with, as they won't target units already under a bad status effect, which poison counts as. Since poison weapons are weak and poison damage is minimal, this should not pose any significant danger to your trained units. Poison weapons are inaccurate, so units shouldn't be relied on to get poisoned. However, status staff immunity is so useful on this map that it's still advised to try; worst-case scenario you just fall back to using a few more actions to Restore important units. A poisoned Restore caster will never be incapacitated so they can restore those hit by status staves, while poisoned units also can't be Berserked, so there's no risk of their inventory being locked out in case they're holding a Restore for someone else. Likewise, poisoned units can safely be sent away from Restore users, as by the the time the poison wears off, all the status staves will be exhausted.

Your 4-man elite squad deployed away from the rest of the army should immediately rush in and start killing everything in their path. There are a lot of enemies, so it's important they intercept and decimate them before they head further up the map. Additionally, they are likely the only ones able to reach the Body Ring chest in a safe and timely manner, so they should be heading into the fray regardless. They should take care not to pull Denning yet, as while he can be neutralized by boxing him in, killing him stops the reinforcements, which you may want to farm for EXP. If you don't mind losing out on reinforcement EXP however, you can pull him in early and take him out to shut down the reinforcements.

Send Jaffar down the left side of the map with 1-2 units to escort him in order to loot the chests. Bashing the wall in is faster than going through the door, though one of the units going down this lane will need either great DEF or the Iron Rune on Hector Mode, due to a Killing Edge Swordmaster being there. The rest of the throne room units should simply form a 3-wide line behind the green units. The 3 bulkiest units not sent elsewhere should form a horizontal line to limit how many attacks each of them can be exposed to. Use Barrier or Pure Water to overcome magic damage problems, and simply have them stall the enemies there until the timer runs out.

Trivia

This map shares portions of and takes place at the same area as Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade's Chapter 8.
In the prototype version of this chapter, a door was present in the upper left corner of the map, corresponding to a door that was present in The Binding Blade's Chapter 8, which is also where the secret shop was located.^[1]

-[[Hector]] arrives in [[Ostia]], [[Eliwood]], [[Lyn]], and [[Athos]] in tow. After a soldier greets him, Hector asks if his [[Uther|brother]] is in the castle. The soldier responds that Marquess Ostia departed for a conference in [[Etruria]] and will return in half a month’s time. Hector notes that the timing of Uther’s trip is suspicious and asks [[Oswin]] if he knew his brother was planning on taking this trip. Oswin momentarily hesitates before confirming that the trip has been planned for quite some time.
 [[File:Cg fe07 25.png|thumb|right|[[Athos]] recounts his and [[Nergal]]'s studies in [[Arcadia (location)|Arcadia]].]]
-Once they are inside the castle, Hector asks Athos to explain how they should precede considering [[Nergal|Nergal’s]] apparent invulnerability as well as how the two came to know each other. Athos explains that he met Nergal 500 years ago in the [[Nabata Desert]]. Nergal, at the time, was in search of the true nature of the world and was equal to Athos in power and knowledge, making them fast friends. One day, the two happened across a village hidden in the depths of the wasteland of [[Missur]] where [[Dragon|dragons]] lived in harmony with humans. That village was known as [[Arcadia (location)|Arcadia]]. Athos explains that the dragons that lived in the village refused to fight humans in [[The Scouring]] and merely want to live in peace, hidden from the outside world. Nergal and Athos decided to erect a magical barrier to make the village more difficult to find and began to live in Arcadia at the invitation of the village’s residents. Centuries passed as the two studied the dragon’s language and their large wealth of texts in their libraries. Athos eventually wanted to spread the knowledge of the dragons and the paradise of Arcadia to the whole of [[Elibe]]; Nergal, however, began to pursue a darker path. Nergal learned the method of stealing a living being’s quintessence and transforming it into power and then began to experiment on living creatures and eventually, humans. Athos and the villagers felt they had no option other than to band together to put an end to Nergal’s horrible actions and succeeded in defeating him and banishing him from Arcadia. Nergal took his defeat in stride and fled to [[Bern]], where he slowly built his power to avoid drawing the attention of Athos and built his army of [[Morph|Morphs]]. Athos is suddenly interrupted by a soldier announcing that the castle is under attack by an enemy that seemingly appeared within the castle walls from nowhere. The group quickly concludes that the forces were sent by Nergal and take to defending the throne. Before the battle, Hector announces that they merely need to prevent the enemy from seizing the throne until reinforcements arrive.
-Once the group takes to the battlefield, the lead morph in Nergal’s force, [[Denning]], begins to monotonously repeat a message Nergal entrusted to him: “This is a message from Lord Nergal: ‘I await you on the [[Dread Isle]].’” Near the throne, Lyn reminds Eliwood to not overexert himself out of concern for his well being, though Eliwood coldly responds that he is fine and faces the enemy without hesitation. [[Nils]], striken with grief over the death of [[Ninian]], absent-mindedly wanders onto the battlefield before a soldier stops him. Nils is clearly in no condition to join the fight, prompting the soldier to take him to a safe room, far from the action.
+The group arrives in [[Ostia]]; a soldier greets [[Hector]] and informs him that [[Uther]] has departed for a conference in [[Etruria]]. Inside the castle, Athos explains his history with [[Nergal]]. Athos met and befriended Nergal 500 years ago in the [[Nabata Desert]], when they were  in search of knowledge. One day, they discovered [[Arcadia (location)|Arcadia]] in Nabata, where [[dragon]]s lived in harmony with [[human]]s. Nergal and Athos erected a magical barrier to hide Arcadia and lived there for centuries, studying in their libraries. In Arcadia, Nergal learned how to steal quintessence and use it as power. Nergal was banished from Arcadia and fled to [[Bern]], where he began making [[morph]]s.
+Athos is interrupted by a soldier alerting that the castle is under attack. The group concludes that the forces were sent by Nergal and take to defending the throne.
-The group manages to fend off the invaders long enough for reinforcements arrive, enabling the group to repel Nergal’s forces. With the enemy having been successfully routed, Athos continues his story. Once Athos discovered how much more powerful Nergal had become since his banishment, he assumed his next target would be the dragons of Arcadia; however, Nergal’s ambitions proved to be grander than he initially thought. Nergal went to the [[Dragon's Gate (location)|Dragon’s Gate]] and managed to entice [[Ninian]] and [[Nils]] to pass through the gate. He planned to use the siblings to call even more dragons through the gate to drain their quintessence, the damage the dragons may wrought on Elibe being an afterthought to him.  Athos tells the group that the legendary weapons are their last hope and informs them that he will go to [[Bramimond]] to seek his help in obtaining as many of them as possible before Nergal’s plan can come to fruition. This prompts Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn to declare that they will go to [[Dread Isle]] ahead of Athos so as to suppress Nergal’s army of morphs and prevent him from ravaging [[Lycia]] any further.
+The lead morph, [[Denning]], repeats "This is a message from Lord Nergal: 'I await you on the [[Dread Isle]].'" Lyn tells Eliwood to not overexert himself; Eliwood coldly responds that he is fine. [[Nils]] absent-mindedly wanders onto the battlefield before being shuffled off to a safe room.
-Before Athos leaves, he ensures that Eliwood and {{hover|Hector|Just Eliwood in his tale}} still have [[Durandal]] and [[Armads]]. They confirm that they still have the weapons, though they have been unable to bring themselves to use them considering that they seemingly have a will of their own; however, they promise that when the time comes, they will wield the weapons without hesitation.
+The group manages to fend off the invaders long enough for reinforcements arrive and repel Nergal's forces. No longer under threat, Athos continues his story. Once Athos discovered how much more powerful Nergal had become, he assumed Nergal's next target would be the dragons of Arcadia, and prepared to defend it. However, Nergal instead went to the [[Dragon's Gate (location)|Dragon's Gate]] and called [[Ninian]] and [[Nils]] through it. Athos tells the group that the legendary weapons are their last hope, and he will go to [[Bramimond]] to seek his help in obtaining as many of them as possible to stop Nergal. Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn declare that they will go to [[Dread Isle]] to suppress Nergal's army of morphs and prevent him from ravaging [[Lycia]] any further.
-Later that night, Hector approaches [[Oswin]], who is standing alone in the throne room. Oswin suggests the lord get some rest; however, Hector, aware that Oswin is hiding something from him, refuses and commands him to reveal whatever it is that he is hiding. Oswin remains silent even when Hector threatens to kill him for keeping the secret, leading Hector to conclude that the only possible thing his own subordinates would conceal from him for so long is the status of his brother’s health. Hector manages to surmise that his brother is dead based on his assumption that Oswin would have already told him if Uther was merely recovering his strength elsewhere. Oswin cannot manage a proper response, which Hector takes as confirmation of his conclusion. Hector leaves the throne room alone.
+Before Athos leaves, he ensures that Eliwood and Hector—in his tale—still have [[Durandal]] and [[Armads]]. They confirm that they still have the weapons, but have been uncomfortable with using them; however, they promise that they will not hesitate to use them against Nergal.
-Meanwhile, Nergal returns to the Dragon’s Gate with Ninian’s quintessence and her [[dragonstone]] in his possession. He infuses the dragonstone with the girl’s quintessence, creating a tool which enables him to call dragons from the gate whenever he pleases; however, Nergal decides that he must wait and gather more quintessence from Eliwood’s advancing forces and recover from Athos’ attack before calling the dragons as if he is too weak to maintain control over them, everything he has done will be for naught.
+Later that night, Hector confronts [[Oswin]] about Uther; Hector threatens to kill him for keeping the secret, but Oswin remains silent. Hector concludes that Uther has died of his illness, and leaves the throne room alone.

Nergal decides to wait and gather more quintessence from Eliwood's forces in order to recover from Athos's attack before calling the dragons, as they may break free of his control and kill him if he is too weak.
-[[Ninian]] is dead. Now, only [[Nergal]]'s echoing laughter remains...
-On [[Hector]]'s advice, the group heads toward [[Ostia]].
-They are weary to the bone, and they need time to regroup.
-Ostia is the most heavily guarded fortress city in all of [[Lycia]].
-No enemy should have been able to breach its walls.

 ==Strategy==
-{{sectstub}}
+The last defend map of the game. The map features multiple [[Druid]]s armed with status staves as well as quite a few [[Shaman]]s. On Eliwood mode, you fight a metric ton of [[Archer]]s, while on Hector mode, some of those Archers are swapped out for [[Knight]]s. In both modes, there are a lot of poison weapons among the enemy ranks, which is a very good thing. There's one of each status staff on the map, which can spell disaster if your [[Restore]] users get targeted by them (EHM throws in an extra Sleep caster for good measure), so it's a good idea to deploy at least 3 staff users that can use Restore.
+Deploy your strongest units with strong 1-2 range (for Archers and Shamans) or high firepower (for Hector mode Knights), such as [[Pent]] and [[Louise]], [[Vaida]], [[Harken]], [[Hawkeye]] etc. into the 4-man "island" away from the rest of the party; they will be responsible for most of the killing, as well as dealing with the boss. One of them (usually Pent), will need to carry Restore and be able to use it. The rest of the party stays up near the throne to start out; they also need at least one Restore caster with staff. It's also a good idea to give one of them a [[Chest Key]] to loot the [[Body Ring]] chest as they fight their way over.
+You can somewhat ignore the green units. Their stats are complete garbage and are lucky to last more than 2 rounds of combat without dying. The most they will do is be a distraction for a few enemies and keeping that fire off of your units, which can even be annoying or bad if using the strategy described below. There's no reward for keeping them alive, so don't bother with them.
+The first order of business is to intentionally get as many of your own units [[Poison (status)|poisoned]] as you safely can. Counterintuitive as it may be, it actually makes the status staff users easier to deal with, as they won't target units already under a bad status effect, which poison counts as. Since poison weapons are weak and poison damage is minimal, this should not pose any significant danger to your trained units. Poison weapons are inaccurate, so units shouldn't be relied on to get poisoned. However, status staff immunity is so useful on this map that it's still advised to try; worst-case scenario you just fall back to using a few more actions to Restore important units. A poisoned Restore caster will never be incapacitated so they can restore those hit by status staves, while poisoned units also can't be [[Berserk (staff)|Berserk]]ed, so there's no risk of their inventory being locked out in case they're holding a Restore for someone else. Likewise, poisoned units can safely be sent away from Restore users, as by the the time the poison wears off, all the status staves will be exhausted.
+Your 4-man elite squad deployed away from the rest of the army should immediately rush in and start killing everything in their path. There are a lot of enemies, so it's important they intercept and decimate them before they head further up the map. Additionally, they are likely the only ones able to reach the Body Ring chest in a safe and timely manner, so they should be heading into the fray regardless. They should take care not to pull [[Denning]] yet, as while he can be neutralized by boxing him in, killing him stops the reinforcements, which you may want to farm for EXP. If you don't mind losing out on reinforcement EXP however, you can pull him in early and take him out to shut down the reinforcements.
+Send [[Jaffar]] down the left side of the map with 1-2 units to escort him in order to loot the chests. Bashing the wall in is faster than going through the door, though one of the units going down this lane will need either great DEF or the [[Iron Rune]] on Hector Mode, due to a [[Killing Edge]] [[Swordmaster]] being there. The rest of the throne room units should simply form a 3-wide line behind the green units. The 3 bulkiest units not sent elsewhere should form a horizontal line to limit how many attacks each of them can be exposed to. Use [[Barrier]] or [[Pure Water]] to overcome magic damage problems, and simply have them stall the enemies there until the timer runs out.
