For Whose Sake (Japanese:誰がためにFor Whose Sake) is the ninth chapter ofFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and the fourth chapter of the second generation.

Plot

Main article:For Whose Sake/Script

Travant prepares to meetSeliph's forces inThracia while making plans to reconquer the north. He sends his adoptive daughterAltena to reconquerMeath, even though she protests against the war, and sends in GeneralHannibal to support her, even though he protests as well. To ensure Hannibal's loyalty, Travant takes custody of his son –Coirpre/Charlot – and leaves him inLuthecia, with the intent to kill him if Hannibal betrays him.

Despite all precautions on Travant's part, Seliph storms through Thracia. Along the way, he may recruit Altena, Coirpre/Charlot, and Hannibal. After Travant loses his commanders one by one, he givesArion theGungnir and charges into the fray himself, which ends with his death. Arion makes a last stand at Thracia Castle, but he too is defeated – although not killed – and Seliph seizes the castle, ending this regional conflict.

Castle Kapathogia

Castle Luthecia

If you want to recruitCoirpre/Charlot and Hannibal, you need to both avoid seizing Kapathogia for the time being and keep Hannibal alive, so that you can skip straight to seizing Luthecia, the castle where the former is being kept in. While it may seem like a daunting task at first glance, seeing how the Kapatogia army is directly in the way of the most straightforward route to Luthecia, there is a northern pass through the mountains where you can easily skip past the Kapathogia army, with your only opposition before reaching the castle being three enemyHeroes and aBrigand. After seizing Castle Luthecia, Coirpre/Charlot will join your army, provided that Hannibal is still alive.

Castle Grutia

Castle Thracia
