Foreword: Welcome

Welcome to Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright! This guide will help you navigate the story, master combat, build your castle, and recruit allies in your fight against Nohr.

Hey there! Welcome to the world of Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. It's a wild ride, and I'm super excited to guide you through it. You're stepping into a world torn apart by war between Nohr and Hoshido, and you, a young noble, are right in the middle of it. King Garon of Nohr is up to no good, and soon you'll face a choice that will change everything: stick with the king who betrayed you, join your new Hoshido family, or forge your own path for a greater good.

In this particular journey, _Fire Emblem: Birthright_, you'll be siding with Hoshido to take down King Garon. That's not going to be easy, though. You'll have to face off against his loyal retainers, and even some of your own siblings. The good news is, the _Birthright_ path gives you plenty of chances to take a breather, train up your troops with scouting missions, and maybe even find some romance along the way.

This guide is going to be your best friend. We'll cover every single story battle chapter by chapter. Plus, as you unlock new structures in your MyCastle, we'll dive into what they do. We'll also break down combat strategies, give you the lowdown on characters and their classes, help you recruit children units, and make sure you don't miss any Paralogues needed to bring them into your fold.

Thanks so much for picking up this guide. It really means a lot to us. We hope it becomes your go-to companion as you get lost in the epic battles and tough choices of _Fire Emblem: Fates_.

Happy gaming!
