Fire Emblem: Gods of the Celestial Realm

Sothesia
Chapter 1: A Festival in Ruins

It has been three months since the Pelian-Sothesian War ravaged the central territories. While the kingdoms themselves have come to a truce, conflict still resides in the lands. People who were once neighbors now fear each other. Bandits and thieves prey the war-torn villages. Despite the best efforts of both kingdoms to provide relief, they are able to do very little to help the people as they are mired in their own laws and bureaucracy.

It is here that the Blades of Altea shine. Their mission, to help the peoples of all of Ala'altea, is blind to borders and regulations, allowing them to send out aid to people as far as they can reach. Soon, a new generation of Blades will rise to carry out the deeds to aid the people in any way they can. Here, in the town of Arborvale, they will meet, and under the guidance of Alabaster, they will soon begin their journey.

At least, if they actually arrive on time.

Confound it! Where are they? It's already three hours past the ninth! When in Altea's name are they arriving?!"

Alabaster begins pacing the central square. People whisper as they pass by him, some waving at him in recognition. Alabaster waves back in politeness, but then quickly resumes his pacing. His horse, tethered nearby, quietly watches its master as his patience quickly diminishes.


I even made sure to make the day we meet cross with the day of the Arbor Festival! Where are they?
