“ | Your highness, I understand your feelings. However, Lorenz's rebellion is a fact. First, we must see how we can help him. Basically we should listen to what the citizens have to say, so we can affirm what has happened to this country. Then your highness can talk to General Lorenz personally. | ” | — Jagen |

The Grustian Expedition (Japanese: グルニア遠征 Grunia Expedition) is the first chapter in Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem Book II and New Mystery of the Emblem.
Plot
- Main articles:
The Grustian Expedition/Script and The Grustian Expedition/Conversations
Marth is sent a letter by Emperor Hardin of Archanea telling him that a large rebellion has broken out in Grust and Marth has to quell it. Since Archanea is the suzerain state over Altea, Marth is compelled to comply. Marth leaves Cain in charge of Altea and leaves for Grust.
Upon arriving, the corrupt General Lang informs Marth that they have defeated most of the rebels; the last holdout is Lorenz, who has been hiding Prince Jubelo and Princess Yuliya in order to help restore Grust. Jagen advises Marth to talk to the villagers and Lorenz in order to find out what has really been going on.
Lorenz commands Jubelo and Yuliya to flee with Ogma, who had come on the orders of King Mostyn of Talys. However, they refuse to abandon him due to his grievous wounds. Ogma decides to find another way to help, and leaves in order to kill Lang. Marth talks to Lorenz, who tells Marth that Hardin has become evil, and then commits suicide. After Marth seizes the fort, Lang arrives and informs Marth that a rebellion has erupted in Macedon and that Hardin has ordered him to rescue Minerva. He arrests Jubelo and Yuliya, despite Marth's pleas.

Strategy
This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody. |
This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
At the beginning of the chapter, a few changes to your lineup occur. Caeda, Wrys, Athena, Ogma, and Cain/Est will depart the party if recruited. Any unit lost in the prologue will be returned to you for the main story, but any deaths from here on out are permanent. If you did not recruit Gordin or Draug during the prologue, they join here. Both of them are decent units, with Draug in particular having a blistering 5 personal base Speed. You are also joined by Arran, this game's Jagen archetype. He is a pre-promoted Paladin with noticeably stronger stats than anyone not named Kris or maybe Luke and immediate access to powerful classes such as Swordmaster or Dracoknight, but his growth potential is nullified by a terminal illness and he won't be able to carry you forever. Finally, you unlock reclassing, which allows you to change your units' classes and often greatly increase their potential. Draug should be moved to Cavalier to prevent him from being one-rounded. Ryan or Gordin likely should also be reclassed to Hunter for the same reason; Gordin doesn't need the reclass if he grew at least one point of Speed in the prologue. Ryan needs to have gotten four points of HP or Defense to reclass to Hunter and avoid one-shots, which he will do on average at level 5. Luke should be moved to Mercenary or Myrmidon so he can start doubling Barbarians. He will on average have the necessary Speed and bulk to move to Myrmidon if he reached level 6. Finally, Arran's best option is General, making him the only unit you have who can survive two hits from the Barbarians and allowing him to bring them down to Cecil and Marth's kill thresholds with his Silver Lance. Hero and Swordmaster are good alternatives if you want him doubling as well.
Trivia
- This map was used for testing of Fire Emblem Awakening, and later became modified and used as the map for The Dead King's Lament, a paralogue chapter.[1]
