'''The Empire's Reach''' (Japanese: {{hover|帝国の影|Teikoku no kage}} ''The Empire's Shadow'') is the fifth chapter of {{FE8}}. [[Eirika]] reaches the border town Serafew and encounters troops from [[Grado (nation)|Grado]]. She also meets a [[Natasha|woman]] bearing dire news. | |||

After escaping the [[monster]]s of [[Za'ha Woods]], [[Eirika]] marks her next destination as Serafew. Serafew is a border town shared between [[Renais]] and [[Grado (nation)|Grado]]. However, it is currently completely under occupation by Grado, to the displeasure of many of the town's residents.<ref>{{cite|Life in Serafew's been harder since the Grado occupation force took over here.

It's an armorslayer. It'll cut through even the strongest armor. Take it and strike down that blackheart, Saar.|Villager|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> | |||
The chapter opens with [[Joshua]] musing to himself about the local [[arena]], though he is interrupted by a [[Natasha|passing cleric]]. She quickly apologizes to Joshua and continues on her way, to Joshua's disappointment. Joshua decides to go to the arena to gamble some coin. Nearby, [[Glen]] of the [[Imperial Three]] approaches [[Saar]] and tells him to be on the lookout for a deserter. | |||
Eirika and her allies are able to enter the town due to relatively low security, and encounter a [[Saleh|mysterious man]] who asks about an [[Myrrh|indigo haired girl]]. Eirika says she has seen no such person and the man moves on. After a moment, another disturbance happens and Eirika and Seth decide to carefully investigate. They see [[Natasha]] surrounded by her pursuers. Eirika is confused by the accusations of treason directed towards a [[cleric]]. Natasha, seeing her chance, slips past the soldiers and approaches Eirika telling her she bears important news. Eirika tells Natasha to wait until the pursuing Grado soldiers are taken care of. | |||
At the start of the battle, Joshua leaves the arena disappointed that his pocket is lighter than when he entered. One of the nearby soldiers threatens to report him to the captain, though Joshua brushes it off. If Natasha speaks to Joshua, Joshua decides to join Eirika's group to protect Natasha after losing a coinflip wager to her. | |||
At the end of the chapter, after all enemies are defeated, Natasha tells Eirika that Emperor [[Vigarde]] and Prince [[Lyon]] plan to destroy the [[Sacred Stone (object)|Sacred Stones]]. Natasha learned this information from [[MacGregor|her mentor]] before he was executed a few days prior. Seth doesn't entirely believe the story but thinks the information is too dire to ignore, Eirika agrees. If Natasha sustains mortal wounds during the battle she is still able to inform Eirika and Seth of the danger to the Sacred Stones shortly before expiring. | |||
If Eirika's troops prevented all houses from being destroyed by [[bandit]]s during the chapter a villager speaks to Eirika shortly before she leaves and gifts her with a [[Guiding Ring]] out of gratitude. | |||

---|
The Empire's Reach (Japanese: 帝国の影 The Empire's Shadow) is the fifth chapter of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Eirika reaches the border town Serafew and encounters troops from Grado. She also meets a woman bearing dire news.
Plot
- Main article:
The Empire's Reach/Script
After escaping the monsters of Za'ha Woods, Eirika marks her next destination as Serafew. Serafew is a border town shared between Renais and Grado. However, it is currently completely under occupation by Grado, to the displeasure of many of the town's residents.[1]
The chapter opens with Joshua musing to himself about the local arena, though he is interrupted by a passing cleric. She quickly apologizes to Joshua and continues on her way, to Joshua's disappointment. Joshua decides to go to the arena to gamble some coin. Nearby, Glen of the Imperial Three approaches Saar and tells him to be on the lookout for a deserter.
Eirika and her allies are able to enter the town due to relatively low security, and encounter a mysterious man who asks about an indigo haired girl. Eirika says she has seen no such person and the man moves on. After a moment, another disturbance happens and Eirika and Seth decide to carefully investigate. They see Natasha surrounded by her pursuers. Eirika is confused by the accusations of treason directed towards a cleric. Natasha, seeing her chance, slips past the soldiers and approaches Eirika telling her she bears important news. Eirika tells Natasha to wait until the pursuing Grado soldiers are taken care of.
At the start of the battle, Joshua leaves the arena disappointed that his pocket is lighter than when he entered. One of the nearby soldiers threatens to report him to the captain, though Joshua brushes it off. If Natasha speaks to Joshua, Joshua decides to join Eirika's group to protect Natasha after losing a coinflip wager to her.
At the end of the chapter, after all enemies are defeated, Natasha tells Eirika that Emperor Vigarde and Prince Lyon plan to destroy the Sacred Stones. Natasha learned this information from her mentor before he was executed a few days prior. Seth doesn't entirely believe the story but thinks the information is too dire to ignore, Eirika agrees. If Natasha sustains mortal wounds during the battle she is still able to inform Eirika and Seth of the danger to the Sacred Stones shortly before expiring.
If Eirika's troops prevented all houses from being destroyed by bandits during the chapter a villager speaks to Eirika shortly before she leaves and gifts her with a Guiding Ring out of gratitude.

Strategy
This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody. |
This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
This chapter features the first arena in the game. Arenas are not as useful in The Sacred Stones as other games, as alternate less-risky training methods, skirmishes, are available. Feel free to use it for some extra experience but stay aware of the risks.
Recruiting Joshua is less intimidating than it initially appears. He will not harm Natasha, so simply kill any nearby mobile enemies while staying away from Joshua, then simply have Natasha walk up to him. However, this is not true of the Japanese release, an alternate strategy is to unequip Seth's weapons and have him bait Joshua nearer to Natasha so that she may speak to Joshua before he can attack her.
Trivia
- Tethys makes a cameo appearance when visiting the southernmost village.
- Amelia makes a cameo appearance when visiting the northernmost village.
- In the international versions of the game, Joshua is programmed so that he will not attack Natasha. However, that is not the case in the Japanese version; Joshua will attack Natasha if she is in his movement range.
- Unusually, one of the reinforcement Brigands that appears has a unique portrait, slightly higher stats, and a thunder affinity.
