Inheritors of Light (Japanese:光をつぐものHeir to the Light) is the sixth chapter ofFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, and the beginning of its second generation. It chroniclesSeliph's emergence from hiding inTirnanog, his liberation ofIsaach from theGrannvale army, and start of his revolution.

Plot

Main article:Inheritors of Light/Script

Seventeen years after theBattle of Belhalla, bothOifey andShannan are currently away fromTirnanog, the remote village in which they raisedSeliph, son of the lateSigurd.Danann, the "King of Isaach", has finally learned of Tirnanog's status as the hideout of the growing revolution force against his rule of Isaach, and in light of the absence of Oifey and Shannan orders a strike against the vulnerable village. In response to the news of the impendingDozel army, Seliph chooses to set out with the two remaining fighters in the village—Larcei/Creidne andScáthach/Dalvin—and confront the enemy head-on, bringing with him the priestessLana/Muirne. Shortly into the skirmish, Oifey returns from his scouting mission with his protegés,Diarmuid/Tristan andLester/Deimne, and joins the fray.

Seliph's first victory is at Ganeishire Castle, administered by Danann's assistant GeneralHarold, whom he defeats. At Ganeishire, he findsLewyn, who entrusts to himJulia, his amnesiac ward, while he travels toLeonster. In response to the news of Ganeishire's fall, Danann orders his sonsIuchar andIucharba to sortie and fight Seliph, though both are reluctant to do so. Meanwhile, near Isaach Castle,Fee/Hermina andArthur/Amid arrive fromSilesse and join Seliph's army. One of Danann's sons is convinced by Larcei/Creidne to ally with Seliph, while the other is defeated in battle by Seliph's army; Seliph captures the slain brother's held castle, where he finds alight tome to give to Julia.

Their final destination is Ribaut Castle, held by Danann himself. Following their defeat of Danann's subordinateSchmidt, Seliph's army challenges and kills Danann himself, who without hisHelswath is easier to fight. Upon taking Ribaut Castle, Lewyn returns and tells him of the struggling revolutionary war in Leonster led by Seliph's cousin,Leif, and encourages him to lead his new liberation acrossJugdral to free it from the tyranny of his half-brother, PrinceJulius ofGrannvale.
