Chosen by Fate

Gotoh says we must prove ourselves. Very well; we'll seize the tower. Follow me!
— Marth

The Alterspire (Japanese:異界の塔Otherworldly Tower) is the fifth and final side quest inFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. In order to reach this chapter, the player must completeChapter 24 withTiki dead and theFalchion not in their possession.

Plot

Main article:The Alterspire/Script

Marth and his companions arrive at theAlterspire, and are confronted by a group of mysterious soldiers. Marth reasons that they are the Keepers whose test he must pass and decides to defeat them and seize the tower. After doing so, Marth discovers a hidden set of stairs leading to a coffin with markings similar to those in the Fane of Raman. The coffin opens to revealNagi, an amnesiac divine dragon who somehow has theFalchion in her possession. She asks Marth to take her with him so she can aid him in the final battle.
