Prelude
"Once dragons and men coexisted, they shared a peace forged in wisdom. All that was lost when mankind disrupted, this balance in a sudden onslaught. Defeated and humbled, dragons vanished from the realm. In time, man rebulit and spread his dominion across the land and the islands beyond. A millennium has passed, since those dark days ended."

Lyn's Story (Prologue - 10)
GBA_Fire_Emblem_Overview.png
The game starts in the country of Sacae with the player character, a tactician (whose default name is Mark), who is found by Lyndis when knocked unconscious in front of her home. Lyn eventually meet Cavaliers Kent and Sain who reveal to the player that the Sacaen is the daughter of Hasar and Madelyn, automatically making her the granddaughter of Lord Hausen and heir to the Caelin marquess title. However, Lyn's existence is an obstacle to Hausen's brother, Lundgren, who wants the title all to himself.
Meeting Eliwood (11- Final Chapter)
Eliwood's story starts a year after Lyn had been marquess of Caelin. The tactician was studying more on military tactics during the time, but the village he was in (a local village of Pherae) was attacked by bandits, Eliwood and his small crew join up to see what kind of problem happened in the village. After defeating the bandits, Eliwood meets up with his childhood friend, Hector, brother of Marquess Ostia, in Santaruz. Hector, Eliwood, and the others fight against the oddly aggressive Santaruz soldiers a they seek to find Lord Helman to ask him what is going on. But when they goet there, they find that he is clinging to life, stabbed. In his dying words, Lord Helman tells them to go to Marquess Laus, Darin, saying that "he knows all". Helman then says mysteriously "Beware the Black Fang", and with that, he perishes. Eliwood then journeys to Laus, which is preparing for rebellion in Lycia. In a large battle, Eliwood and his group defeat Darin's son, Erik, and the rebellion is quelched. Darin has mysteriously vanished from the castle. Erik then tells them the answers to many mysterys: that Eliwood's Father, Marquess Pherae was one of the Lords that supported the rebellion which Lord Darin wanted to bring up. A mysterious man named Ephidel introduced the whole idea of rebellion in the first place. Eliwood doesn't believe him, and continues the search for Darin. A couple days later, Eliwood is informed that Castle Caelin is under attack by Laus, so Eliwood rushes over. His small army meets up with Lyn's band of friends, and they decide to work together to cature the castle, after a long battle to get the castle under Caelin control, peace is restored. It is found here by the spy Leila, who is undercover in the Black Fang, that the Black Fang is responsible for all this trechery. Although the Black Fang used to be a organization with mostly noble intentions, it is being used now by Nergal, a mysterious man who wants to start war in Lycia. They also find that Marquess Pherae is captive at the Dragon's Gate, a place on the dread isle Valor that Nergal makes his base of operation. Lyn, Hector, and Eliwood rush over to the island with the help of the pirate captain Fargus. Along the way, they find a girl named Ninian, who Eliwood and Lyn know, floting in the water. She has strange powers, but is too weak to act or do anything. They reach the island, and find the Dragon's Gate, a huge place that the Dragons created before the Scouring. A battle against Darin happens here. When he is defeated, Eliwood finds his father, who is close to death. Nergal, who already has Nils in his grasp, captures Ninian, and is able to access the Dragon's Gate, which he expains, is where Dragon's can finally come back into the world. Since Nergal can control Dragons, he will be able to take over the world with them. As a dragon is coming out of the portal, Nergal is stabbed by Lord Elbert (Marquess Pherae), and the process is halted. Everyone flees as the portal explodes. After this, Elbert is too weak, and dies in his son's arms.
Hector's View
Hector's game is almost the same as Eliwood's, but with a few changes. First, the viewpoint has changed from Eliwood to Hector, meaning Hector is the main character. The characters Uther and Oswin play larger roles as well. Several story elements are changed, most easily seen at the beginning and end of the game. Other changes include different troops and troop placement in the chapters. Because Hecotr mode is unlocked after beating Eliwood's story, Hector mode is more difficult than Eliwood's. Also included in Hector's story are two characters not found in Eliwood's mode: Farina, the pegasus knight, and Karla, the swordmaster.

Other Important Characters
- Nergal (Dark Druid)

Nergal seeks the power of Quintessence, which he gets from murdering people with high levels of heroism. The quintessence makes him very strong, and he is able to heal his wounds with it. Nergal's two assistants that he created are his morphs Ephidel and Limstella. Along with them, Nergal commands the Black Fang. Nergal seeks to capture Nils and Ninian so he can open the Dragon's Gate.
- Ephidel (Sage)
- Ephidel is a powerful morph commanded by Nergal to do his deeds. Ephidel was key in starting the rebellion in Lycia, corrupting Marquesses Pherae, Santaruz, and Laus, and others into creating unrest so that Nergal could take it over. This plan fails due Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn's interference with it. Ephidel, like all morphs, has golden eyes, and has a black cloak with a hood.
- Limstella (Sage)
- The most powerful of Nergal's morphs. Limstella's main job is to collect the Quintessence of people for Nergal by murdering many of the important characters of the game. Limstella will sacrifice everything for Nergal, even her life. Like all of Nergal's morphs, Limstella has golden eyes.
- Sonia (Sage)
- A woman in service of Nergal. Sonia has taken control of the Black Fang on Nergal's behalf by marrying Brendan Reed. Sonia tells the Four Fangs to kill Eliwood, while she corrupts King Desmond of Bern. Sonia is vain and spiteful, and cares little of her daughter, Nino.

- The king of the militaristic nation of Bern, Desmond is jeleous of his wife's son, Zephiel, and wants his daughter, Guinivere, to take up the throne. Desmond is lured by Sonia to start rebellion against Lycia, and to steal the Fire Emblem for the Black Fang so that Zephiel cannot become King.
- Prince Zephiel (Prince)
- The heir to the Bern throne, and the son of Queen Hellene. Zephiel is a very gifted child, and it is obvious that he will become a fine ruler of Bern. But his father, King Desmond, is spiteful of the child, and tries to stop him from taking the throne.

Zephiel is the ruler of Bern in Fire Emblem 6.
- Queen Hellene
- The Queen of Bern, and the mother of Zephiel. Hellene does not have a good relationship with King Desmond, and wishes to see her son, Prince Zephiel, take the throne of Bern. Hellene is a friend of Louise, and gives Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn the secret location of Bern's Shrine of Seals.
- Lundgren (General)
- Lundgren is the brother of Lord Hausen, the Marquess of Caelin. Lundgren is evil, spiteful, and wants to become the Marquess. To do this, he slowly poisons the Marquess, and his plan is almost complete, when Lyn and her followers come to stop Lundgren and his devious plot.
- Ursula (Valkyrie)
- A member of the Four Fangs. Ursula faithfully serves Sonia, and she is quite cruel. Ursula has a companion named Maxime, a paladin, who serves her.

- Lord Uther (General)
- Hector's brother, and Marquess Ostia. Uther has recently been named Marquess Ostia, commander of the most powerful nation in the Lycian League, and also the head of the Lycian Council.

- Lord Elbert (Paladin)
- The father of Eliwood, and Marquess Pherae. Elbert vanished from Pherae along with many Pheraen Knights. His disappearence sets off Eliwood on his quest to find him, and later, to save the world.

- Lord Helman
- A friend of Lord Elbert, and Marquess Santaruz. Helman at first supports the rebellion, but later has a change of heart, and wants the Black Fang to be gone from Santaruz. He is kind towards his people, but is a somewhat ineffectual leader.
- Lord Hausen
- The grandfather of Lyn, and Marquess Caelin. Hausen is poisoned by Lundgren, his brother, in an attempt for him to take over Caelin.

Again, Lyn, along with Hector and Lyn, save Caelin from invaders.
- Erik (Cavalier)
- The son of Lord Darin. Erik hates Eliwood and Hector, and is in charge of the Laus army when Darin goes to Caelin. It is from him that Eliwood and Hector learn some dark secrets about Darin's plot, a mysterious hooded man, and Lord Elbert's connection with the Lycia rebellion.
- Fargus (Berserker)
- The captain of the pirate ship Darvos. Fargus shows kindness towards Eliwood's group, and lets them journey to the Dread Isle, Valor, on his ship. Fargus seeks adventure in life, and because of that he gives them passage. Fargus also brings them to Valor a second time after Eliwood's campaign in Bern.
Support
A unique feature of Fire Emblem- Blazing Sword is that characters, if put in battle next to each other long enough, can have conversations with each other. These conversaitions are very interesting, and can range from just humorous banter, a romance between two characters, or insight on the character's lives. These conservations also have direct impact on the play of the game: each time a character pair has a conversation, (there are 3 levels of support, meaning 3 conversations), their stats rise in battle if the pair in in the vicinity of each other. There are some things to keep in mind, though. First, each character only has on average 5 to 6 people they can support with. Second, characters can only have 5 levels of support per game. For example, if Heath has A level support with Priscilla, and B level support with Kent, he cannot have more support conversations. (A level= 3, B level= 2). Since each character has his or her own elemental affinity, the level of stat bonuses from support derives from the combination of elements you have supporting. Some supports may raise both character's stats very much, while other may give you a very small bonus. This means you must choose carefully when it comes to support. Finally, certain "A Level" support pairs have their own special endings at the end of the game (for example, they may get married).
