Plot

Main article: The Sable Order/Script

With Altea liberated, Marth sets out for the Fane of Raman to retrieve the Lightsphere and the Starsphere. He is accosted by a cohort of Grustian cavalry, and Nyna expresses concerns that the famed Grustian general Camus will oppose them; Marth explains that he has angered Dolhr for insubordination and is currently being kept "on a short leash", to her relief. During the ensuing battle, the Whitewing sister Est arrives and joins Marth's forces, having stolen the Archanean regalia sword Mercurius. Marth overcomes Grust's forces and elects to take a handful of soldiers to search the Fane of Raman.

Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

Preparation

• This chapter is cavalry-heavy, so prepare accordingly. Bring Ridersbanes, Poleaxes, and the Wing Spear.
• Sell iron weapons and buy steel ones for more damage, but save some money for later chapters where only silver weapons are effective.
• Focus on using and leveling up only your strongest units from this point forward.
• Try to conserve resources, as future battles will require more powerful weapons and well-leveled units.

During Battle

1. Initial Strategy:

• Position high-defense units, like Generals, on the bridge to block and counter enemies.
• Use anti-cavalry weapons to eliminate threats.
• Optionally, let Marth use his Rapier to take down Horsemen for extra experience.

2. Reinforcements & New Recruit:

• Expect additional enemies from the southwest forts upon reaching the southern shore.
• Est arrives on turn 6 in the southwest corner of the map carrying the powerful Mercurius sword. Speak to her with Marth to recruit her. While she's initially weak, her Triangle Attack can be very powerful.

3. Combat Tips:

• Beware of enemies with strong weapons (Silver, Killer, Armorslayer).
• Try to eliminate foes in one turn because of the Curate with the Fortify staff.
• Flying units can safely harass from the sea with Javelins as long as you watch out for the Horsemen and Cavaliers with ranged weapons.
• Use long-range magic to safely deal with the boss, Sternlin.

Trivia

• A modified version of this map is used for Chapter 8 in Mystery of the Emblem Book 2 and New Mystery of the Emblem, though this chapter was cut from Mystery of the Emblem Book 1.
