Smoldering Resistance (Japanese: 解放の狼煙 Beacons of Liberation) is the fifteenth chapter in Fire Emblem Awakening. In this chapter, the Shepherds finally reach Valm, only to run into a skirmish in the harbor and their target being the princess of a fallen kingdom—who also happens to be attempting to gather resistance against Walhart.

Location Valm Harbor New units Say'ri Boss(es) Farber Previous chapter(s) Flames on the Blue Next chapter(s) Naga's Voice

“	There's no standing against the emperor! All who question him are slain on the spot. I am a refugee here...The dastard razed my entire village just for sport!	”	— A maiden in the village second-closest to Say'ri's starting position

Plot

Main article: Smoldering Resistance/Script

As the Shepherds arrive at the well-fortified Valm Harbor, they prepare for battle. Chrom notices a woman fleeing from the Valmese troops and decides to help her. The woman, Say'ri, notices the Ylisseans arrive, but is cornered by the Valmese troops. Chrom prioritizes saving Say'ri, but also takes note of the local houses.

Once the battle ends, Say'ri introduces herself to the Shepherds and informs them of the divided nature of the resistance against Walhart, as well as reporting the size of his army as at least one million men, including her brother, Yen'fay. She states that tales of the Shepherds have spread throughout Valm, and Chrom agrees to help her liberate the continent from Walhart. Say'ri explains that many people worship Naga and her oracle Tiki, and that Tiki is held prisoner in her temple at the Mila tree—if she is rescued, the resistance could rally around her; the Shepherds decide to march for the Mila tree.

Summary

In Valm Harbor, the Ylisseans rescue Say'ri, a resistance leader. They set out to free Naga's "Voice," hoping to inspire others to their cause.
