Synopsis
The kingdoms of Dolhr, Grust, and Gra form an alliance and launch an invasion across the continent of Archanea, ultimately defeating the Kingdom of Altea. King Cornelius falls in battle, but his son, Prince Marth, escapes thanks to the sacrifice of his older sister, Elice. Accompanied by a small group of retainers, Marth finds shelter on the island nation of Talys, where he spends three years in hiding under the protection of the royal family. While in Talys, Marth enjoys a peaceful life, taking in the island's beauty and the friendship of Caeda, the pegasus-riding princess. Yet he remains uneasy, knowing the day will come when he must take up arms. That day arrives when Caeda rushes to Marth and his retainers in a panic, reporting an attack on the castle town. After several close encounters, they manage to defeat the assailants and save the city. Realizing his presence might bring further danger to his new home, Marth decides it is time to leave. He sets out to raise an army and reclaim his kingdom.
