The War of Shadows was a conflict instigated by the empire of [[Dolhr]] against most other nations on the continent of Archanea. Dolhr was lead by [[Medeus]], the last [[earth dragon]] revived by the sorcerer [[Gharnef]]; Dolhr allied itself with a number of the continent's strongest nations before launching its invasion of the nation of [[Archanea (nation)|Archanea]], eventually conquering most of the continent by Archanean year 604. Prince [[Marth]] of [[Altea]] fled when his nation was conquered, and began a revolt against Dolhr in 604. Marth's army formed the [[Archanean League]] and liberated the nations conquered by Dolhr, defeated its allies, and reclaimed the [[Falchion (Archanea)|Falchion]] with which Marth then defeated Medeus, ending the War of Shadows in the year 605.

Most nations weakened by the War of Shadows, but Archanea underwent a significant reconstruction effort, becoming the strongest nation on the continent. Gharnef used the [[Darksphere]] to twist its emperor [[Hardin]] into a tyrant; Hardin then led Archanea to conquer the continent, starting the [[War of Heroes (Mystery of the Emblem)|War of Heroes]] over one year after the War of Shadows ended.
