Fire Emblem Echoes takes place in an Medieval Age of long ago, in the continent known as Valentia. Here, things are a lot like what you hear when it comes to King Arthur and Merlin the Wizard. Kings and Queens rule the land, Spellcasters and Witches exist, and Knights and Peasants are found throughout. This fantasy world is wonderful and fascinating in every regard, except, of course, for the mere fact that a war is presently being fought across the land. And that's exactly where the story begins, where the old friends of Alm and Celica fight against opposing enemies and foes.
