Main article:A Vow Upheld/Script

Corrin meets Sakura at Fort Jinya where Sakura is tending to woundedHoshidans; her retainersHana andSubaki enter and introduce themselves to Corrin. Azura arrives to inform them that Nohrian soldiers have surrounded the fort, and Corrin's army prepares for battle. As the battle begins, Silas—the leader of the Nohrian army—claims to be Corrin's childhood friend, though Corrin cannot remember him.

Once the battle ends, Silas is at Corrin's mercy. Corrin notes that Silas seemed to be holding back; Silas explains how he one day took Corrin out on a picnic, which Corrin begins to remember. Corrin in turn explains their vow to leave Nohr, which Silas believes and joins their cause. Shortly thereafter,Saizo andOrochi arrive and inform Sakura thatRyoma andTakumi have gone missing en route toIzumo;Yukimura is organizing troops to march on Izumo, and Corrin volunteers their army for the task.

Summary

After siding with the Hoshidans and facing off against the Nohrian royals, Corrin and company make their way to Fort Jinya to help tend to the wounded.

Strategy

Before you begin, make sure to buy the Rod Shop or the Dawn Armory for My Castle. Also note that if Kaze doesn't get an A-support with Corrin by the end of Chapter 15, there's going to be problems for him down the line.

You get two new units at the beginning of this chapter. Hana is a fragile but hard-hitting Samurai, while Subaki is a bulky Pegasus Knight who tends to be overshadowed by Hinoka. Deploy Kaze in the southeast corner of your starting area so he can immediately filch the Seraph Robe, and send everyone else forward. Quickly and efficiently break through the enemies and push your way towards the central treasure room. Rinkah makes a great support bot for your dagger units, allowing you to deal heavy damage while simultaneously doubling enemies. An enemy Outlaw appears on Turn 7 with the intention of stealing your loot, so intercept him before he can accomplish this. Silas and his thugs aggro on turn 10, so make sure you secure the Armorslayer before you fight him.

At the end of the chapter, you recruit three new units. Saizo is another Ninja who is a little slower than Kaze, but hits harder. If he has enough Speed to double enemies, he is one of the strongest units inBirthright. Orochi is your first Diviner; she hits hard and captures enemies, but is slow as dirt. Silas is a Cavalier whose bulk is welcome inBirthright, which tends to be dominated by fast and fragile units. He can also get an A-support with Kaze to become an enemy phase killing machine with plenty of passive damage stacks. Give your new Armorslayer to Silas and buy the Dawn Armory or Rod Shop, whichever one you didn't get previously.
