The Emblem of Fire

The Emblem of Fire (also commenly translated as 'The Fire Emblem') is the fifth chapter of Fire Emblem: Fuin No Tsurugi.

Chapter 5: Emblem of Fire begins with the World Map opening which describes Roy and company passing through Lycia on their way to the Lycia territory of Ostia after having just left the Lycian territory of Laus.

After the World Map scene finishes a sequence begins with a group of Bandits talking amoungst themselves. The Bandits discuss raiding the nearby villages and they also comment on a small military group that had been spotted in the area, although the Bandit leader, Dory says they are simply a weak remenant of the Lycian army.

After the Bandits finish talking the focus returns to Roy's group. As Roy's group passes through the area a group of villagers appeal to them for help in defeating the raiding bandits. After briefly consulting with Merlinus who was against the idea, Roy decided to help the vilagers, and a battle between Roy's group and the Bandits began.

Terrain
The enitre of the map inwhich the battle takes place is very mountainous. The player's units are deployed to the east surronded by a viel of mountains that seperates the player's unis from the enemy forces. The only way the exit the area blocked off by the mountains is either by a small pass to the north-east of the mountain or by a two-spaced wall to the west only a few spaces from the Bandits Castle base. The North-eastern exit includes a pair of forts which are helpful when defending.

Inside the area block off by the mountains is a large group of Forest spaces and a few houses that offer some advice to the south-west. These areas are of little help though as no enemy units will likely venture that far.

At the top of the map in about the middle is the only village on the map, within the first few turns Saul and Dorothy will leave the village and travel offscreen. If a player contoled unit visits the village they will receive Gant's Lance, a personalized lance with 50 uses.

In the northern area above the main group of mountains in the middle of the map is a large open area around the village. This area is heavily forested, which is helpful as it will hamper the movement of the enemy forces while moving through the area, although player controled units will suffer aswell.
