“	...This is war, isn't it? It's not at all like the games I used to play with my brother or Lyon. I never thought-- I didn't know it would be this...savage. Are words useless? Is strength all that matters?	”	— Eirika

The Fall of Renais (Japanese: ルネス陥落 Renais' Fall) is the prologue chapter in The Sacred Stones. In this chapter, Eirika and Seth escape from Castle Renais as it is invaded by Grado soldiers.

Plot

Main article: The Fall of Renais/Script

As with other games, this game starts with a narration of the history of the game's continent, in this case the history of Magvel.

When troops from Grado invade Renais, King Fado sends Eirika, along with his loyal retainer Seth, to the neighboring country of Frelia for safety. As the two exit the castle, they are confronted by the Moonstone, Valter, who attacks Seth, dealing him a nasty blow. Seth quickly grabs Eirika and escapes, riding off into the mountains. Later, O'Neill and two of his underlings catch up with Eirika and Seth, and engage them in battle. Having defeated their oppressors, Eirika and Seth continue their journey to Frelia.

Strategy

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

On easy mode the game provides a scripted tutorial to guide the player through this chapter; it is impossible to lose.

On normal and hard modes a similar strategy to the scripted tutorial may be used, together Eirika and Seth can take out the enemy fighters with ease.

Depending on which units the player wishes to use later in the game it may be recommended to not use Seth at all to provide Eirika with more experience, though both Eirika or Seth are fully capable of defeating all the units by themselves. Regardless of the player's goals, Eirika can bait the fighters and dodge their attacks fairly consistently. If Eirika is hurt use a Vulnerary to keep her HP up.
