The continent of Fódlan, said to be protected
[cdb]by a goddess, has existed for uncountable ages.
Now, three ruling powers control the land.
To the south is a region held for more than a
[cdb]thousand years by the Adrestian Empire.
To the north is the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus,
[cdb]ruled by the royal family and its knights.
And to the east, a league of nobles that bends
[cdb]no knee rules the Leicester Alliance.
Though once consumed in war, these
[cdb]three powers now exist in relative harmony.
Nestled between them is Garreg Mach
Monastery, seat of the Church of Seiros—the
[cdb]land's widely practiced faith, and a power that
[cdb]helps to maintain peace across the continent.
Not far from the monastery, at the northern
[cdb]edge of the Empire, is a small village called
Remire. And west of this place stretches a
[cdb]forest where a lone mercenary awaits...
Deep in the forest, the mercenary meets a trio
[cdb]of youths, each a student at Garreg Mach's
Officers Academy and a leader of one of the
[cdb]school's three houses.
Striking down the bandit chief who attacked
[cdb]the students brings undue attention to the
[cdb]mercenary, who soon arrives at the hallowed
[cdb]gates of Garreg Mach.
Upon his return to Garreg Mach, the humble
Tomas shapeshifts and flees, and not even the
Knights of Seiros's most concerted efforts can
[cdb]track down the erstwhile librarian.
Meanwhile, Edelgard seizes upon Monica's
[cdb]rescue as a chance to start down a radically
[cdb]different path than she had originally planned.
Having deposed Lord Arundel and Duke Aegir,
Edelgard quickly arranges for her coronation,
[cdb]her eyes now fixed firmly on the monumental
[cdb]task laid out before her.
All the while, the Kingdom of Faerghus is
[cdb]thrown into unrest over the right of succession,
[cdb]while the Leicester Alliance finds themselves
[cdb]pitted against an invading Almyran horde.
Realizing the troubles of Fódlan will fall
[cdb]squarely on her young students' shoulders,
Archbishop Rhea closes the Officers Academy
[cdb]and permits her charges to return home.
Upon his return to Garreg Mach, the humble
Tomas shapeshifts and flees, and not even the
Knights of Seiros's most concerted efforts can
[cdb]track down the erstwhile librarian.
Dimitri elects to keep an eye on events from
[cdb]afar and not involve himself in the disturbance.
Soon, however, an urgent message arrives from
Fhirdiad, capital of the Kingdom of Faerghus.
Having put down Rufus's revolt and ended his
[cdb]uncle's life, Dimitri draws closer to the truth
[cdb]regarding the Tragedy of Duscur, and also
[cdb]begins the process of ascending the throne.
All the while, the Adrestian Empire deals with
[cdb]a fierce power struggle in its capital, Enbarr,
[cdb]while the Leicester Alliance finds themselves
[cdb]pitted against an invading Almyran horde.

Though Claude is quite intrigued by the
[cdb]dark developments at his school, an urgent
[cdb]message soon arrives from House Goneril at
[cdb]the eastern edge of the Leicester Alliance.
As the representative leader of the Alliance,
Claude narrowly defends Fódlan's Locket from
Prince Shahid and the Almyrans—but the
[cdb]future of the Alliance remains in jeopardy.
Meanwhile, a power struggle breaks out in the
[cdb]capital of the Adrestian Empire, and a revolt
[cdb]over the right of succession takes root in the
Holy Kingdom of Faerghus.
