Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: Accursed Fate

Fire Emblem: Accursed Fate is a fan-made prequel to Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. It was made over the course of one year of development using FEBuilder. This hack tells the story of House Cornwell's final moments before its downfall, referenced in The Blazing Blade, at the hands of House Ostia and various ominous forces.

The story takes place a decade before the events of The Blazing Blade. It incorporates elements referenced in said game, as well as brand new plot points made from scratch. All in an effort to deliver an intriguing story which respects the lore established in the official series.

Chapter 1 narration:

Once, dragon fought man in a war called the Scouring. In the aftermath, the continent of Elibe was divided into nations, each led by one of the eight legendary
heroes. One of these nations was Lycia, founded by the legendary hero, Roland.

Roland's descendants would go on to further divide this nation into several distinct territories, each one ruled by a marquess. The most powerful of these marquesses was Marquess Ostia, who assumed leadership of the Lycian council and ensured that each fellow marquess fulfilled their duties to the people they presided over.

Almost a thousand years later, each of these marquesses have found that upholding these duties suddenly becomes ever more of a strain, as a series of kidnappings start plaguing the once peaceful nation. In a wave of terror, sons and daughters of lesser noble families go missing one after the other, always followed by demands of
hefty ransoms in exchange for their lives. Ransoms which, without aid from a marquess, cannot always be paid in full.

This story follows Lord Alec, the son and heir of Marquess Cornwell, and his sister, Lady Viola, as they attempt to navigate this treacherous landscape, and try to find ways of bringing an end to this shadowy threat.

At the story's onset, the Cornwell siblings find themselves partaking in one final lesson in warfare, issued by the King of Etruria, and carried out by one of his most trusted knights.
