Fire Emblem: The Scouring
A millennia ago, the race of mortals and dragons dwelt among each other in peace and prosperity. However, the humans, realizing the might and magic of their more powerful associates, began to fear, envy, and despise those of draconic heritage. Soon after these negative emotions rooted deep in the hearts of men, their ancestors declared a spontaneous war against the dragons while seeking aid from other humanoids.
Of these, the dwarves and giants joined in the battle against the dragons. In response, the dragons sought aid from the elves, fey, and smaller folk. The gnomes, ever known for their mechanical prowess, took to both sides; offering technology and aid to both, ensuring their own prosperity while others fought and killed each other.
The dragons, though powerful and skilled, knew that their kin were outnumbered and the threat of extinction harried too near. In desperation, they began research on the other planes and found an inhabitable one suited for their kin and children. However, the plans would take time to finish, time that they did not have.
Three men stood up, prepared to assist the dragons. Two men were powerful mages adept in the opposed magic of light and dark. The third amongst them, and the most trusted by the dragons, was a swordsman of unseen skill during the war. These three men would define the outcome of the war, though the true heroes according to human records would be Athos and the five Legendary Heroes.
This is their tale . . .
