When troops fromGrado invadeRenais, KingFado sendsEirika, along with his loyal retainerSeth, to the neighboring country ofFrelia for safety. As the two exit the castle, they are confronted by the Moonstone,Valter, who attacks Seth, dealing him a nasty blow. Seth quickly grabs Eirika and escapes, riding off into the mountains.

Strategy

On easy mode the game provides a scripted tutorial to guide the player through this chapter; it is impossible to lose.

On normal and difficult modes, a similar strategy to the scripted tutorial may be used. TogetherEirika andSeth can take out the enemyFighters with ease.

Depending on which units the player wishes to use later in the game it may be recommended to not use Seth at all to provide Eirika with moreexperience, though both Eirika or Seth are fully capable of defeating all the units by themselves. Regardless of the player's goals, Eirika can bait the fighters and dodge their attacks fairly consistently. If Eirika is hurt use aVulnerary to keep herHP up.

Trivia

• In the cutscene at Renais Castle before the beginning of the prologue, the twoGenerals use the unit data ofMoulder andVanessa.
• On Easy Mode, Eirika is able to do a follow-up attack on O'Neill despite Eirika having only 9 in Speed and O'Neill having 7 in Speed.
• On Easy Mode, Seth is scripted to defeat the second enemy with a Steel Sword. For unknown reasons, the durability of the Steel Sword does not decrease when Seth defeats the enemy.
