“	Hm, we can escape from Tarrah, but with these civilians following us...	”	— Dryas

Freedom (Japanese: 自由を求めて Demanding Freedom) is the sidequest of the fourteenth chapter of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. In order to play this chapter, the player must have visited at least three houses within the city, excluding the house where Homer is recruited, in the previous chapter.

Plot

Main article: Freedom/Script

After receiving the reassurance from Arion that Tarrah would come under Thracian protection, Leif's liberation army flees the city with Mayor Linoan in tow. As they make their way through a mountain valley Dryas notes that several groups of civilian refugees from Tarrah are tailing Leif's group in hopes of escaping the Empire. Linoan tried to convince them to stay in Tarrah for their safety but they were unconvinced.

As they continue through the valley, Leif and the refugees end up ambushed by the Loptrian bishop Codda. He sends Misha's Pegasus Knight squadron and several Dark Mages with Rewarp staves to flank from the mountains. Leif's forces protect the civilians and defeat Codda and his underling Eichmann and escape out of the valley.

Shortly before everyone departs, Lewyn appears before August and tells him that the fall of Tarrah was expected. He tells August that he is going to Orgahil and will then be returning to Isaach, presumably to begin assisting Seliph in raising his liberation army. He then tells August that they will meet again in one year.

Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

Be careful when deploying Dalsin to this chapter. It is possible that Dalsin cannot reach the escape point on this map, as armored units cannot cross over the mountain tiles on their own. It is possible to get him past the mountains by having another unit rescue him. This only works if he has under 19 constitution, so if he has gained several points of constitution since joining he will either need to be left behind or left undeployed. Using the Warp staff is also an option, though the Warp staff has much better applications than this.

One may consider skipping this chapter altogether, as Linoan will join the party in the next chapter regardless, there are no new recruitable characters, and ranked runs do not benefit from taking extra turns.

Trivia

• At the start of the chapter, Dryas says that approximately 600 citizens of Tarrah are following Leif's forces in groups. The maximum number of civilian units appearing on the map is six, which may imply that each Civilian unit on the map is meant to represent roughly 100 fleeing citizens.
