It is the seventh game of the Fire Emblem series, the second in the series to be released for the Game Boy Advance and the first to be released in either North America or Europe.

It is the prequel to Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi, taking place twenty years before.

Plot:
"The game is set in the fictional continent of Elibe, and is a prequel to Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi. Consequently, the history and some of the character relationships are connected between the two games. Over a thousand years before the events of the game take place, man and dragon coexisted in the world. However, this peace was broken when man fought against dragon in a bitter war known as The Scouring. Upon their defeat, the dragons vanished from the world and man began to flourish as the sole dominant species.

Lyn's Tale

The game's narrative starts in the plains of Sacae. The player character, a tactician (a male named Mark, born in January, by default), is found by a girl named Lyn. She was recently orphaned by bandits, and decides to travel with Mark. In a nearby town they meet Kent and Sain, who reveal that Lyn is heir to the throne of Caelin. However, Lyn's existence is an obstacle to Lundgren, the brother of Lyn's grandfather Hausen, who desires to succeed his brother as the marquess. Lundgren continually attempts to kill Lyn and her grandfather.

Eliwood's Tale

One year later (Post-Scouring year 980), Lyn's friend Eliwood is leaving Pherae in search of his missing father, Marquess Elbert of Pherae. As he and his escorts prepare to leave the area, bandits attack a local village. Mark, the tactician, is at the village, and Eliwood acquires the aid of Mark and other characters to take down the bandits. Eliwood then heads to Santaruz, where he meets his friend Hector, brother of Marquess Uther of Ostia. Marquess Santaruz’s dying words direct the group to Laus, where it is revealed that Marquess Laus is working with the Black Fang, a group of assassins, and intends to take over the world. With him is a mysterious man named Ephidel.

Hector's Tale

Hector's tale is an alternate telling of Eliwood's tale, but from Hector's perspective."
