Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon/Chapter 11

-_-_-_-_-_-_- Knorda Market [CHP11] _-_-_-_-_-_-_

"Tired from so many long battles, Marth and the League arrive at last in Akan- eia, Princess Nyna's mother kingdom. Past the mountains lay the royal palace, known to some as Millennium Court; and within its walls awaited many treasures and captives the enemy had taken.

With each step, Marth draw nearer to one of the great waypoints on his journey"

Do the normal, pick your units and trade the unnecessary items.

DIALOGUE

Marth: Nyna, soon the palace will be in sight. I...know this can't be easy for you.

Nyna: ...When the palace fell, many, many good Akaneians were killed. The royal family...My family were...Their bodies were hung before the gates as an example I cannot unpaint that vivid picture, of my parents grotesquely changed...I feel as though I should cry, Marth; or scream. But no tears come, and I cannot chase away the sadness and rage...

...I cannot change the past. I can only shape the future. Lead the way, Marth. I am ready. Take me home.

END DIALOGUE

First thing to do is press X. The huge range from the enemy ballistas covers a few of your units. The ballistas are stationary, but they will attack your units nevertheless. They pack quite a punch and they should be avoided when possible.

There are a few things you should take care of:

A) Send a flier past the mountains to the right and attack. All the enemies should attack him/her and die. B) Leave an archer to take care of the immediate Pegasus Knight threat from the north. C) Move the rest of your units forward between the mountains, keep in mind the X button enemy attack range.

The southeast region is filled with houses and a few shops. That calls for...

NOTICE!!! IT IS IMPORTANT TO VISIT THE HOUSE #6 (it's the one to the west bordering the lake) (Credit goes to LordRasler and DemonicDratini)

HOUSES

1) The shops/armory has rare goods.

2) Some citizens are being held hostage

3) There are three legendary weapons that have been passed down.

4) War sickens her.

5) Ballistas are far-ranged units that can destroy fliers fast.

6) Jake is a good person :). Try to recruit her with a "beautiful" woman.

END HOUSES

IT IS IMPORTANT TO VISIT THE HOUSE #6 (it's the one to the west bordering the lake) (Credit goes to LordRasler and DemonicDratini)

Visit the village on the corner of the map to get...Linde.

Charge the first ballista (in the north). You shouldn't take too much damage if you used units like cavaliers. Quickly wipe out the ballistian, keep a wary eye on the sniper that has a killer bow.

After, make sure you eliminate Khozen. HE CANNOT BE RECRUITED. For this sake, he is like a mini-boss, so I have chosen to add him as one...

Boss: Khozen HP: 23

Weapon: Firestone Drop: Energy Drop

Beginning Quote: "Burn...! Burn, till your blood boils and your flesh cooks!

Death Quote: "Emperor Medeus...I have failed you..."

Keep moving along and note that the boss IS recruitable IF and ONLY IF you have visited the house with Anna in it. You need Shiida to recruit him so be prepared.

Boss: Jake HP: 20

Weapon: Arrowspatte Drop: None

Beginning Quote: "I knew I wasn't cut out for the military. Well, too late now. I just hope Anna's OK."

Death Quote: Instead of a death quote, you can recruit this unit. In it's place I present the conversation...

Shiida: Hail, ballistican of Grust! Are you the one they call Jake?

Jake: Hail yourself, sugar! What's a fetching lass like you doing out here on the battlefield? And how do you know my name?

Shiida: I am Shiida of Talys. An Akaneian woman by the name of Anna told me about you.

Jake: Really? Anna mentioned me? ...In a good way, right?

Shiida: She's very worried about you. She wants to know why such a good man is fighting for the wrong side.

Jake: Wrong side? Hmm... Well, I have to admit, I'm not too keen on kicking Akaneia while they're down...

Shiida: They why not fight for Akaneia instead? Help us defeat Grust and Doluna, and set the world right.

Jake: Well...I don't know. I don't think it's that simple... Hmm...

Shiida: Anna would love you for it, I'm sure.

Jake: She would? Hmmm... All right, you win. But I'm doin' it for Anna- just to be clear!

I WOULD NOT use Jake. You get a better similar-class unit later, so keep his weapon until then.

Before you seize the gate, you might want to consider buying stuff in the shops and in using the arena to train a bit.

Anyway, seize the gate whenever you feel like it.

DIALOGUE

Marth: Good news, Nyna! We've wrested control of the gates from the enemy.

Nyna: Then...we've won!

Marth: Not quite yet. We can enter the palace, but Doluna still holds strong inside her walls. Also, a number of knights are being held captive inside.

Nyna: Loyal soldiers who fought for their kingdom and their people...Marth, I wish to free them as soon as possible.

Marth: I understand. We should strike now, then, before enemy reinforcements can arrive. I believe we have a good chance.

Nyna: Thank you, Marth. As always, I am counting on you. Worry no more.
