The Grustian Expedition

Location Grustian Rebel Army Fort Boss(es) Lorenz Previous chapter(s) Assassination of the Hero-King Next chapter(s) Rebellion at Macedon

“	Your highness, I understand your feelings. However, Lorenz's rebellion is a fact. First, we must see how we can help him. Basically we should listen to what the citizens have to say, so we can affirm what has happened to this country. Then your highness can talk to General Lorenz personally.	”	— Jagen

The Grustian Expedition (Japanese: グルニア遠征 Grunia Expedition) is the first chapter in Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem.

Plot

Main articles: The Grustian Expedition/Script and The Grustian Expedition/Conversations

Marth is sent a letter by Emperor Hardin of Archanea telling him that a large rebellion has broken out in Grust and Marth has to quell it. Since Archanea is the suzerain state over Altea, Marth is compelled to comply. Marth leaves Cain in charge of Altea and leaves for Grust.

Upon arriving, the corrupt General Lang informs Marth that they have defeated most of the rebels; the last holdout is Lorenz, who has been hiding Prince Jubelo and Princess Yuliya in order to help restore Grust. Jagen advises Marth to talk to the villagers and Lorenz in order to find out what has really been going on.

Lorenz commands Jubelo and Yuliya to flee with Ogma, who had come on the orders of King Mostyn of Talys. However, they refuse to abandon him due to his grievous wounds. Ogma decides to find another way to help, and leaves in order to kill Lang. Marth talks to Lorenz, who tells Marth that Hardin has become evil, and then commits suicide. After Marth seizes the fort, Lang arrives and informs Marth that a rebellion has erupted in Macedon and that Hardin has ordered him to rescue Minerva. He arrests Jubelo and Yuliya, despite Marth's pleas.
