Chapter 1: The time to seek revenge has come!
Prince Green and his loyal knights made it safely to Talys via boat. It was a small and remote country, and the King was willing to help Green out by giving him a little fortress to live in while he plotted his revenge, safe from the war that ravaged the main continent. Green was also introduced to the King's daughter, Princess Palutena, and the two became friends. And so the years passed by...
<Palutena> *flies in* Green! Green!
<Green> Hey, Pally, 'sup?
<Palutena> Quick, you have to help! Pirates have swarmed the coast and are attacking the castle!
<Green> Ohshi- Men, to arms!
Green's knights, apparently ready for battle at all times, quickly rushed out of the fortress ready to fight and defend against the rampaging pirates. Princess Palutena also joined in to help, her pegasus mount giving her extra mobility. They had already burned and pillaged one of the southern towns, but Green made his way east to warn another village of the upcoming attack and was rewarded with a bunch of gold to fund his army.
Green gave the money to Jagen who went to the nearby armory to purchase... a Javelin. Not much else useful there for now, especially since people were still using the weapons of their fallen comrades. >_>
The pirates began to close in, working their way steadily east, but Green, Jagen, Cain, and Palutena formed a choke point across a narrow section of the island. Once the initial rush was handled, Green's army began to slowly creep forward, picking off individual pirates as they showed themselves. Eventually, they crossed over another fort and the castle was in sight! In her excitement, Norne ran forward and put herself in danger, getting almost immediately cut down by axes.
Funnily enough, just after Norne's death, Marth stumbled across a healer name Wrys who was willing to join their party to help keep their health up. He came too late to help Norne, but was happy to heal the rest of the party up nicely. They cleaned up the remaining pirates and then moved in on the boss who was sitting at the gate of Talys Castle. Marth, TGK, and Palutena worked together to take him down, freeing the castle.

<Green> Oooooh, sweet. Thanks! <3

<TalysKing> Oh, Prince Marth, thank you so much for saving our castle! <3
<Green> No problem, man, hardly even broke a sweat.
<TalysKing> It seems like you are strong enough now to begin the task of liberating your home and seeking your revenge.
<Green> Woohoo! \o/ So, uh, where do I start?
<TalysKing> Well, I can provide a few soldiers towards your cause, I suppose. Your first task should be to get to head over to Aurelis and see if you can find some more allies there.
<Green> Oh, yeah, sure, great plan. So, uh... where's Aurelis again? >_>
<TalysKing> Yeah, the maps in this game are kind of confusing because you only see them piecemeal. Aurelis is west of here and north of Archanea.
<Green> Okay, got it. So, you said something about providing me with some more cannon fodd-- I mean, soldiers.
<TalysKing> Oh, yes, yes. Cap'n Tails would be happy to join you, I believe. He's a Mercenary, but a damn good swordsmen. I think he has some other underlings that will tag along too, probably.
<Green> Sweet!
<TalysKing> Of course, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find more allies as you go. There are quite a lot of people who are pissed off at Dolhr, after all, and they'd likely be willing to fight with you for their own revenge.
<Green> I think I can certainly take advantage of that...

Current Team:
Green: Lv. 8 Lord
TGK: Lv. 4 Archer
Palutena: Lv. 4 Pegasus Knight
Waiting for the Pyre:
Jagen: Lv. 1 Paladin
Cain: Lv. 1 Cavalier
Draug: Lv. 1 Knight
Wrys: Lv. 1 Curate
Decisions:
Nothing for now, sorry. Reclassing becomes available starting at Chapter 4, so we've got 3 more chapters left until we can start with that. In the meantime, I guess you might want to think about who you'll want to be reclassing and into what. By then we'll have Green, TGK, Palutena, Tails, Celever, and SilverSilent on our team.
Player Notes:
Pretty simple and short chapter, but now that we're on to proper chapters, I only want to do one chapter at a time otherwise the playthrough will just be over super quickly.
Palutena joins us without much fanfare. Like Green's Rapier, she has a unique weapon that only she can use, the Wing Spear, a lance that is super-effective against armored units and cavalry. She's pretty poor in the strength department for now, but we fed her a few levels to start pumping her up. She got the majority of the kills this level, with TGK providing chip damage and getting himself another level in the process. I'm keeping Jagen unequipped to tank damage. I was actually thinking of killing off both Cain and Norne this level, but I guess Cain can wait a bit since his Mov is useful.
I will have to start killing people off quite a bit faster soon. We start getting a LOT of units the next few chapters (we get 6 new people next chapter alone!), and we need to make sure we have 15 live units max by the time C6 ends to unlock the first Gaiden chapter. At least we have the Convoy now so I don't have to worry about losing weapons to lost units.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed the chapter. :3
