Plot

Main articles:Regaining the Capital/Script andRegaining the Capital/Conversations

Marth's army enters Altea Castle's interior to find a group of thieves looting it, with one thief in particular carrying theGeosphere. Marth plans to intercept the thief, and the battle begins. Among the enemy forces isAstram, butJeorge can convince him to switch sides by arguing thatNyna gave Marth theFire Emblem and therefore denoted him as being in the right.

Once the battle ends and the enemy commander,Willow, is defeated, Marth's troops realize thatElice has been taken away byGharnef. Gharnef has ordered a search for clerics of noble birth, and so far he has takenLena, Elice, andMaria. His next target is assumed to beNyna, who is at the Millennium Court inArchanea. Marth vows to defeatHardin, free him from theDarksphere's influence, and rescue the captured clerics.
