Trivia[]

  • Since this is a classic Fire Emblem map, sound effects from the first Fire Emblem game, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, take place of the default ones in Warriors.
  • Because this is a recreation of the original map, the lines from the original game are reused.
  • Lines are also taken from An Oasis of MagicA Knight-Filled Sky, and Manakete Princess, but Bantu and Gotoh's roles are given to Robin and Leo due to their absence in Warriors.
  • It is possible to clear this map without finding the apparatus. This also makes it the only History Mode chapter that can be completed without viewing all the non-xenologue conversations.
