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. | The War of Shadows was a conflict instigated by the empire of [[Dolhr]] against most other nations on the continent of Archanea.

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. | Most nations were weakened by the War of Shadows, but Archanea underwent a significant reconstruction effort, becoming the strongest nation on the continent.

Additionally, all playable characters in ''Shadow Dragon'' reappear in ''New Mystery of the Emblem'' and are presumed to have been recruited—including [[sidequest]]-exclusive characters—and survived, with three exceptions: [[Arran]] and [[Samson]], where it is left ambiguous which character was recruited; and [[Nagi]], where it is implied she was not recruited.<ref>{{cite|'''Marth:''' You're...<br>'''Kris:''' Another ally from the previous war, sire?<br>'''Marth:''' No, I don't believe we've ever met.
