Birth of a Holy Knight (Japanese: 聖騎士誕生 Birth of a Holy Knight) is the prologue chapter of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. The chapter chronicles the short-lived Verdane invasion of a relatively defenseless Grannvale, Sigurd's movement to defend Yngvi and rescue its Lady Edain, his rise as a Holy Knight of Grannvale, and the beginning of his slow descent into a grave predicament.
Plot
- Main article:
Birth of a Holy Knight/Script
While the bulk of the armies of Grannvale are off to war in Isaach, the country itself is largely undefended. Grannvale's former ally Verdane takes advantage of this in a surprise assault led by Prince Munnir, storming the country and assaulting the dukedom of Yngvi. In response to this news and the threat facing Yngvi's Lady Edain, neighboring Chalphy's Lord Sigurd convenes what few knights remain in Chalphy to depart to aid Edain. As the fight passes, others arrive to support him - first Azelle of Velthomer and Lex of Dozel, both against the wishes of their family, then Quan, Ethlyn and Finn of Leonster. Meanwhile, at Yngvi, Midir of the Yngvi knights is gravely wounded by Munnir in attempting to protect Edain, allowing the Verdane forces to seize the castle. Munnir takes Edain back with him to Yngvi, leaving DiMaggio in charge of the Grannvale effort.
Upon reclaiming Yngvi, Sigurd finds Midir, who informs him of Edain's capture and volunteers to assist despite his injury. Meanwhile, at Evans Castle on the other side of the border, Gerrard of the Verdane army learns of Dimaggio's failure and orders that the bridge across the Jun River be restored, and that the remaining forces move in. At this time, Duke Arvis of Velthomer arrives from the north to observe the situation; he finds Sigurd and entrusts him with a Silver Sword, a gift from King Azmur, then departs. Sigurd eventually seizes Evans Castle; finding Edain was not there, he establishes a headquarters there and prepares to sortie directly into Verdane to find her. Filat arrives as a messenger arrives from Belhalla, delivering the news that Sigurd had been appointed a Holy Knight of Grannvale for his efforts and commissioning him to guard the Verdane border.
