Champions of Aurelis

"Trace a line around the continent's north-eastern plains, and you have Aurelis.

''This kingdom alone had somehow resisted Doluna's attempts to conquer it, but only by some miracle. By the time Marth arrived in Aurelis, much of its terri-tory had already been carved up by Doluna's ally Medon.''

''Still, the king's younger brother, Hardin, refused to give up without a fight. The people called him Coyote, and he intended to live up to the name. Since its founding, Aurelis and the holy kingdom of Akaneia shared close ties and months ago Princess Nyna of Akeneia had come to Hardin's aid. By his side, she had called on the people to fight- but few remained to answer.''

''Medon's finest soldiers were closing in. Nyna knew they were out of time..."''

Comments

 * Hardin - A mediocre cavalier with above average strength stats. Not recommended over Cain or Abel. Hardin's usage varies with player's opinion.


 * Roshea/Vyland - Average cavaliers, usage varies with player's opinion. Can be allowed to die in battle to decrease unit count to get Athena for Chapter 6x.


 * Sedgar/Wolf - Capable Horsemen, they are prepromoted, useful as ranged units if Gordin or Castor are dead. Castor is better than both and either Sedgar or Wolf, they can be reclassed to temporarily become a more useful class like a general.


 * Wendell - Average sage. Has above average speed stats but lacks the magic to be stronger than Merric. Useful as a magic unit if Merric is dead.

Extra

 * The village at the north end of the map contains firestone, a dragonstone usable by manaketes.


 * Merach drops a silver lance.
