Set on the continent of Archanea, the game comprises both a continuation and retelling of Marth's journey from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, told across two "books" representing each half of the story. The first book, the "War of Shadows", is a compressed remake of the first game, while its second book, the "War of Heroes", is a completely new story serving as its sequel. Mystery of the Emblem was the best-selling and most popular Fire Emblem game in Japan for many years.
