Oooh! You're here? Then the ritual actually worked? Ahem... Oh Great Hero from another world! Thou hast come so far to fulfill your role in our legend! For our kingdom now stands on the very brink of ruin, and thou... And thou... Hold on. Are you really our Great Hero? You don't look like the thee-and-thou type.

The Preface is the opening chapter of Fire Emblem Heroes. It depicts the summoning of the "Great Hero" Kiran to the World of Zenith by Anna, commander of the Order of Heroes. It is largely a tutorial chapter, with its two maps featuring little gameplay.
The Preface is played when the player launches the game for the first time. Unlike the other Story Maps in Heroes, the Prelude's maps cannot be replayed at any point, unless the player deletes the game's data and starts afresh.
Plot
- Main article: Preface/Script
Part 1: "I summon thee!"
The story begins as Kiran is summoned into a strange world, with Anna standing before them. Quickly getting over her surprise at the summoning ritual having worked, she proceeds to greet Kiran to her world, but stops briefly to wonder if Kiran is actually the prophesied "Great Hero" of legend. Before she can explain to Kiran where they are, though, an Axe Fighter from the Emblian Empire shows up, and tries to attack. The Axe Fighter proves to be no match for Anna, however, and is quickly dispatched.
After the battle is won, Anna introduces herself as commander of the Order of Heroes, and explains that the Order fights for the freedom of the Heroes of various worlds such as those of Awakening and Birthright, in opposition to the Emblian Empire, who seek to enslave the Heroes instead. She states that Embla are planning to invade Askr, and she and Kiran hurry onwards to stop them.
Part 2: The Legend
Anna shows Kiran the Breidablik, the divine relic she used to summon Kiran to her world. She explains that, according to legend, holding Breidablik high will summon the Great Hero, who will be able to wield it. Anna did so, and summoned Kiran as a result, so she gives Breidablik to Kiran, hoping that they will figure out how to use it.
Just then, another group of Emblian soldiers attack. Anna orders Kiran to escape with Breidablik while she fights them off, but just then a bright light shines from Breidablik. The archer Virion emerges from the light, having been summoned by Breidablik. Together with the freshly summoned Virion, Anna is able to defeat the latest batch of Emblian soldiers. She thanks Kiran for summoning Virion to help, and formally welcomes them to the Order of Heroes.

Part 1: "I summon thee!"
This map functions as a simple tutorial level. Simply follow the instructions given by the game, and Anna will easily defeat the enemy Axe Fighter.
Part 2: The Legend
On turn 1, you are forced to move Virion first, to attack the nearby Axe Fighter. Do so, and then finish him off with Anna. At the beginning of turn 2, Anna's special skill, Night Sky, should be ready. You can use this to defeat the remaining Bow Fighter in a single attack.
