===Beginning log===
After rescuing [[Fae]], [[Roy]]'s army reaches Aquileia, [[Etruria]]'s capital. With the aid of the [[Elimine Church]], the [[Lycia|Lycian Army]] gains public support and reaches Castle Aquileia without a fight. In turn, the revolutionaries, who persecuted the church under Bern's orders, are put on the back foot and forced to retreat to the castle. The bishop [[Yoder]] lead Roy's forces through the city and to the castle. He thanks Roy for his aid, and tells him that the church's investigation uncovered that the return of dragons is likely tied to the [[Fire Emblem (Elibean item)|Fire Emblem]], Bern's national treasure.
After rescuing [[Fae]], [[Roy]] led his forces toward [[Aquileia]]. As the capital of [[Etruria]], Aquileia was the largest, most prosperous city on the continent. Preparing for the Lycian Army's attack, the Revolutionaries were concentrating their forces in the palace. The Revolutionaries' original plan was to use of the city walls for defense, but since the Elimine Church had turned to the Alliance Army's side, they were forced to retreat and shell up inside the palace, fearing that the Church may have encouraged the civilians to protest. The Elimine Church was established by Saint Elimine, one of the Eight Heroes. The Church had followers all around [[Elibe]], primarily in [[Bern]] and Etruria. With the Church's support, Roy was able to arrive at the palace with ease. However, Bern's southern dispatch led by General [[Narcian]] was waiting for him inside.
 
Bern's forces inside the castle are under the leadership of General [[Narcian]]. The Head Wyvern General [[Murdock]] visits Narcian and expresses disappointment in Narcian's failure to hold the [[Western Isles]] and to capture [[Arcadia]]. He also threatens to demote Narcian from his post as Wyvern General and to replace him with [[Galle]]. Once Murdock leaves, Narcian hatches the plan to blame [[Melady]]'s brother [[Zeiss]] for his own failure, with the excuse that Zeiss leaked information to Roy's forces after Melady joined them.
 
Galle catches wind of this and tells Zeiss to hide before he is captured. He also advises Zeiss to talk to Melady.
 
High Chancellor [[Roartz]] and Lord [[Arcardo]] reside in the castle as well, though they flee toward Bern out of fear that they will be persecuted for Arcardo's actions on the Western Isles as well as the coup against King [[Mordred]]. They ask Great General [[Douglas]] to flee with them, but Douglas refuses, calling them cowards. Instead, Douglas remains in the castle to protect King Mordred, and to await the eventual return of Prince Myrddin. He hopes that, even if he dies, Myrddin will be able to restore Etruria to its former glory.
 
Among Bern's forces is the mercenary [[Hugh]]. With Roartz and Arcardo gone, he fears that his paycheck has gone with them. He offers Roy to hire him for an exorbitant price of 10,000 gold, though Roy can negotiate down to 5,000. If Roy still declines, Hugh will remain an enemy. And if Roy accepts, Hugh will assure Roy that the money has gone to a worthy cause.
 
Should Melady reach her brother, Zeiss confronts her about her betrayal to Bern. She counters that she has not betrayed Bern, as she only serves Princess [[Guinivere]]. Zeiss is angry with her for choosing Guinivere over Bern, but Melady holds firm to her loyalty. Despite his lingering doubts, because of Melady's strong conviction and Galle's words, Zeiss joins the Lycian Army nonetheless.
 
Finally, Roy's forces defeat Narcian and retake Etruria. If Douglas survived the conflict, Roy meets with King Mordred. Mordred asks Roy to retake the Saint's Tower, Saint Elimine's altar and resting place of the legendary weapon [[Aureola]]. From Mordred's behavior, it is clear to Roy that the king still mourns Myrddin's apparent death. However, Elffin does not reunite with him, stating that he will make his return when the time comes.
 
If Douglas did not survive the battle, Roy instead meets with Princess Guinivere. She accepts that, with Etruria safe, it is time for the Lycian Army to march on Bern itself. Guinivere gives Roy the Fire Emblem, which serves as the key to [[Hartmut]]'s [[Binding Blade (weapon)|sword]], with the expectation that Roy will use it to defeat Zephiel's [[Idunn|dragon ally]]. Then, she expresses her regret at Zephiel's violent actions and at having betrayed her nation. Lastly, she asks Roy not to harm any civilians in Bern, and he promises not to do so.
