Valorous Roland (Japanese: 勇者ローラン The Hero Roland) is chapter 28 of Eliwood's tale in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.
Plot
- Main article:
Valorous Roland/Script
At the Dragon's Gate, Nergal demands that Ninian open the gate; she refuses, and Nergal attempts to force her. Ninian resists Nergal's power and suddenly transforms into a dragon. Ninian seizes her opportunity and escapes; Nergal taunts her as she flees.
Eliwood and company enter the shrine of the legendary Roland to find it filled with lava. Athos explains that the legendary weapons needed to be protected, and warns that Durandal is guarded by those who fought in The Scouring.
Once Eliwood manages to bypass Georg and approach the altar, Athos calls out the spirit of the hero Roland. Athos informs Roland of the group's need for the legendary weapons; Roland grants Athos' request and bestows Durandal onto Eliwood.
Eliwood exits the shrine, prepared to face Nergal. However, an Ice Dragon suddenly appears; Eliwood, guided by Durandal, strikes the dragon down in a single blow. As the dragon dies, Athos notices something is wrong, but is interrupted by Nergal's sudden appearance. Nergal claims Ninian proved to be useless, and puts Nils in a trance to use take him. Eliwood demands to know what Nergal did with Ninian; Nergal states that Eliwood has just killed Ninian, and begins to taunt him for it. Ninian takes her human form once again, and Eliwood rushes to her side. Dying, Ninian tells Eliwood that she is glad he is unharmed, but Eliwood is beside himself with grief and regret. Nergal attempts to depart with Nils, but Athos attacks him with Forblaze. Nergal takes little damage, and boldly proclaims that no legendary weapon can do him harm. Nergal then leaves without Nils, claiming he does so out of respect for the man Athos used to be. Soon after, Nils awakens to see the corpse of his sister, and is himself grief-stricken.

Trivia
- This chapter holds one of two obtainable rapiers in the entire game, the other found in Eliwood's inventory by default.
- Georg wields one of two obtainable tomahawks in the entire game, the other belonging to Kaim. It is impossible to obtain both tomahawks in a single playthrough.
- Georg's name bears resemblance to Jeorge, a playable sniper in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem.
- Contrary to some popular belief, the player does have access to a performing unit in this chapter, as this chapter is the one in Eliwood's tale where Nils rotates into Ninian's place in the party and is fully selectable, a role often wrongly attributed to the chapter two down the line. (This is also true for this chapter's counterpart in Hector's tale.)
- This chapter is the first one across both Elibe games where a character, in this case Nils, can both read the augury and subsequently be deployed onto the battlefield. (The Binding Blade's performer units are also augury readers, but that game has the character not actively performing as the augury reader, i.e. Elffin performing and Larum reading the auguries or vice versa.)
