Fire Emblem - In The Name Of Bern ROM

Bern’s war of liberation has ended in disaster. A year of bitter fighting following Lord Hector’s successful defense at Castle Araphen has seen its generals scattered, and its king fallen. Much of Bern now finds itself occupied by the victorious Lycian armies, led by Lord Roy of Pherae. Narcian, one of Bern’s three Wyvern Generals, lives life on the run after failing to negotiate a non-aggression pact with Etruria. His fortunes begin to turn after a fateful encounter with Bern’s Princess Guinivere, and together with Elibe’s villainous and virtuous alike, he embarks on a journey to restore his honor and that of his country…

At its core, this is an FE6 reskin/rebalance with a full story rewrite. It is an alternate history of FE6’s events that makes several key changes, most prominent of which being Bern’s defeat at Araphen, no assassination attempt on Elphin/Myrddin leading to his early ascent to the Eturian throne, and Roy not meeting Guinivere. As alluded to above, Narcian takes center stage in this story. While there are humorous moments peppered throughout as one might expect with such a protagonist, the overall tone of the plot is meant to be serious.
