The Dragon's Table (Japanese: 竜の祭壇Dragon's Altar) is the fifth chapter of Fire Emblem Warriors. During this chapter, the Aytolisian army confronts Validar, only to find he was expecting them.
As the Aytolisian army heads for the Dragon's Table, Lianna and Rowan wonders what Validar might be up to. However it becomes apparent that Robin isn't feeling well and decides it's best for him to sit out the next battle, with Chrom offering to watch over him. As twins assure them that they will be able to handle the upcoming fight, Marth informs them that he too will not participate to attend to something else. Darios then rallies the remaining forces to battle.
During the battle, Validar is able to possess Robin, controlling the tactician to attack Chrom. Marth arrives to protect Chrom, stating that he thought Robin's behavior was suspicious for some time now. The Aytolisian army is successfully able to bring Robin back to his senses, who remembers nothing after entering the forest. They were also able to defeat Validar, who once again retreats. Marth suggests they seal the alter to prevent it from being used for the ceremony again.
After sealing the alter, Marth thanks the group and removes the mask, revealing herself to be Lucina. She explains that she is actually from Chrom's world, or more precisely its near but dire future. Owain steps in and admits he too is from the future, and begins a dramatic monologue before being interrupted by Chrom. Owain then reaches the point he was trying to make: he is Lissa's future son, which shocks the latter. As Owain tries to prove his claim to Lissa, who already believes him, Chrom decides to approach Lucina. He recognizes the Brand in her left eye, to which Lucina tearfully confirms she is his daughter. After a moment of comfort between the united pair, Frederick announces that the latest patrol has encounter twoarmies who are fighting each other. Lissa suggests they might have come from a different world like the Shepherds did, but Darios worries about being dragged into their war. Owain suggest the group splits up and approach both sides at the same time. After a brief debate, Darios decides splitting into two groups is the best course of action.
Summary
Marth informs the party that a mage is helping the Gristonne army resurrect the Chaos Dragon, just as the legends says. Darios decides the party must go to the Dragon's Table to stop it.

Defeat: NPC Chrom falls or the player's team is routed.
Note 1: Due to story reasons, Chrom cannot be deployed the first time you play this chapter.
Note 2: Only male Robin is unlocked in this chapter. If you wish to use female Robin, you must obtain her in the Invisible Ties History Map, which will be available after this chapter.
Note 3: Only Rowan or Lianna is available depending on which the player chose at the start of a new game. This list does not represent Free Play mode, as it can be used with any unit the player has obtained at that point. This list also does not include any downloadable content characters the player may have.
This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.
Unlock Rowan/Lianna and your newcomer Cordelia's Skill Crest I so they can both use Iron weapons here. Cordelia is your first lance-wielder and your first flier. She's a solid unit, although she is surpassed by Hinoka later on. Note that all three lance-users available in the base game are pegasus knights, so keep that in mind when deploying them on maps with Archers.
At the beginning of the battle, send Rowan and Frederick northwest, Cordelia northeast, and Lissa southeast. Cordelia will be extremely valuable for this battle since she can outflank the enemy and assassinate high value targets like Gatekeepers and the guy with the chest key. When the NPC Curate appears, have Frederick save him to learn about Validar's poison fog. Once the Mages are down, a brainwashed Robin will outflank you and attack Chrome. Have Lissa double back to take him out. Then wipe out the survivors and kill Validar.
After this battle, Free Play mode will be unlocked. Several History Mode maps will be unlocked as well: namely Invisible Ties, Hero Challenge, and all the downloadable content the player has. You can utilize this for materials, weapons, experience, and other useful items.
Trivia
Strangely, Lucina loses a level and her ability to use her entire combo string since her short playable appearance in chapter 1.
