“My house will go down in infamy. It matters not what I nor any of us do, and so… You must take little Raymond and find him the safety his own family could never provide.”
Fire Emblem: Accursed Fate is a hack of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. It tells the story of house Cornwell, the house of Raven and Priscilla from FE7, in their final moments before its destruction. In this story, you play as Lord Alec, the eldest son and heir of Marquess Cornwell, and Lady Viola, Alec’s older sister, as they fight against ominous forces looking to destabilize the Lycian League. At their side, Alec and Viola will have numerous companions, each attempting to overcome their own weaknesses to become the unlikely heroes that the continent of Elibe needs them to be.
The hack was made in one year’s time using FEBuilderGBA, culminating in 22 chapters as well as prologue and epilogue segments to round off the story. The storyline is based on several canonical events outlined in The Blazing Blade, as well as original plot points designed to keep the story coherent and engaging. As for the hack’s difficulty, it is estimated to be around the level of FE7’s Hector hard mode, sometimes being easier, sometimes being tougher. The gameplay is mostly inspired by FE7, though the enemy units are significantly stronger in the late game.

Chapter 1 narration
Once, dragon fought man in a war called the Scouring. In the aftermath, the continent of Elibe was divided into nations, each led by one of the eight legendary heroes. One of these nations was Lycia, founded by the legendary hero, Roland.
Roland’s descendants would go on to further divide this nation into several distinct territories, each one ruled by a marquess. The most powerful of these marquesses was Marquess Ostia, who assumed leadership of the Lycian council and ensured that each fellow marquess fulfilled their duties to the people they presided over.
Almost a thousand years later, each of these marquesses have found that upholding these duties suddenly becomes ever more of a strain, as a series of kidnappings start plaguing the once peaceful nation. In a wave of terror, sons and daughters of lesser noble families go missing one after the other, always followed by demands of hefty ransoms in exchange for their lives. Ransoms which, without aid from a marquess, cannot always be paid in full.
This story follows Lord Alec, the son and heir of Marquess Cornwell, and his sister, Lady Viola, as they attempt to navigate this treacherous landscape, and try to find ways of bringing an end to this shadowy threat.
At the story’s onset, the Cornwell siblings find themselves partaking in one final lesson in warfare, issued by the King of Etruria, and carried out by one of his most trusted knights.
