Magvel
Magvel (Japanese: マギ ヴァル MagiVal) is the continent on which Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones takes place. It is the only game in the series that involves this continent in any way.
History
Magvel's current calendar starts at the original defeat of the Demon King exactly 803 years ago.
Little is known of the time before the current calendar, only that monsters were on their way to domination, and humanity was nearing the brink of extinction. In humanity's desperation it prayed to the heavens and was granted the five Sacred Stones. The Sacred Stones possessed the power to combat the hordes of monsters and the Demon King himself. The Demon King was defeated by the five heroes and sealed within the Sacred Stone that would eventually belong to Grado. Morva and the orphaned Myrrh were both present for this, with Morva himself aiding humanity. After the Demon King's defeat relative peace settled into the continent for the next 800 years.
Some time around the early 800s Lyon began his experiments with Grado's Sacred Stone. His experiments were for the betterment of humanity, however, they were also what would set Magvel awash in blood once again. In the year 802 Lyon's father, Vigarde had died. Lyon was mentally unable to cope with this, and pushed his experiments further, in hopes of reviving his father. This only made things worse, as Lyon's experiments allowed the Demon King to possess him. And, in the year 803, set Grado to war with every other country on the continent.
Grado and the Demon King were quite successful, as every Sacred Stone on Magvel was destroyed except for one. Rausten's stone remained intact. Eirika, Ephraim, and their companions assembled within Rausten to lead the final assault on Darkling Woods, and seal away the Demon King once again. After clashing with Riev and the now undead Morva they entered the Black Temple and killed Lyon, sealed the Demon King, and destroyed his body.
At the end of this conflict only a single Sacred Stone remained. After these events a disastrous earthquake struck Grado and sent much of it into the sea. Ephraim and Eirika chose to aid Grado in recovery.
