Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon/Chapter 12

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ The Ageless Palace [CHP12] _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

"The holy kingdom of Akaneia had come into being six centuries earlier, when the region's numerous city-states were unified under one monarch. The first king, Adrah, had fought valiantly to accomplish this, wielding the three weapons he came to call his regalia- gifts from the gods, some said.

The kingdom Adrah forged was pronounced holy; its kings were esteemed. With Akaneia's aid, six more independent kingdoms sprang up in their own time. But Akaneia was always the greatest- and now, Marth was about to take his first walk through its historic palace's halls."

DIALOGUE

Midia: Bishop, what do you make of this? I hear shouting in the corridors. Hmm...Princess Nyna must have returned with an army in tow. An army?! Really? Then we are saved!

Bishop: Saved, perhaps...or doomed. Surely the enemy realizes we are more trouble alive than dead now.

Midia: You do not take my meaning, Bishop. By "we" I mean Akaneia. Akaneia is saved. If Princess Nyna has truly come to chase the enemy from our halls, to free us...Then my death will have meaning.

Bishop: Ho ho...I admire your spirit, child. I always have. But think how Ast- ram would grieve if you were to die.

Midia: I...I had hoped to see him one last time- to say goodbye. That alone I regret.

Bishop: Ah, but you have not died yet. Midia. Hang on to hope.

END DIALOGUE

First things first, you will need to rush the prison if you hope to save all the hostages alive. Rush forward, don't leave any regrets behind. Send some weaker units to dispatch the two thieves on the side, and overall, don't leave your units in a discoordinated position, reinforcements will attack your rear.

In fact, they appear at the beginning of Turn 3, so make sure your back is covered.

This map is easy after you save the prisoners, the rest of the enemies can be defeated with one or two good units, like a cavalier.

There is free experience to the enemies that spawn outside. Good for leveling up lower level units.

Grab all the treasures, be sure to not miss the one outside to the right of the throne.

Speaking of the throne, let's go to the boss...

Boss: Volzhin HP: 22

Weapon: Bolganone Drop: Bolganone

Beginning Quote "Rebel pup! You dare defy Doluna? The writhe in the fires of Bolganone!"

Death Quote: "Do not think...you have won...Doluna...is undying... Nngh!"

This battle was a pushover, just seize the gate.

DIALOGUE

Nyna: Marth, thank you. Were it not for you, I may never have seen the halls of my house again.

Marth: I could not have done it alone, Nyna. The whole Akaneian League fought tooth and nail this day.

Nyna: True, and yet all the same... I have little doubt your exploits are the ones that will live on in song.

I have a gift for you, to celebrate your achievements here. This bow is called Parthia. It is one of the three regalia that have been passed down through House Akaneia. The other two regalia- the sword Mercurius and the lance Gradiv- us are not here. The enemy took them when they fled. I am sorry. I had hoped to give you all three, and thus aid you in the battles to come....

Marth: Your concern for me is more than enough, Nyna. One day, I will get your family's treasures back and use them to crush Doluna. I swear it on this emblem of fire!

(GOT Parthia)
