Hello today I announce my hack Fire Emblem: Blade of Grief. The hack is built off of fe8 with the use of FEBuilderGBA
It is a project I have spent the past few years working on, so my only hope is that it is an enjoyable experience in some sense of the term. Regardless if it is or isn’t please give feedback it can only help.
Currently this is only a 7 chapter hack with a planned 30 [not including gaidens]

Plot Summary
The continent of Vallen houses four nations each with different values and beliefs. It is a land of great instability with past wars turning the countries into isolationist and hostile nations. It is in Vallen’s most unstable land, Safir, that mercenaries are essential due to no single ruling power holding the nation together, each noble [or bandit] rules their own land with coin.
A group of these mercenaries, known as The Ivory Mercenaries, are hired by the noble Sir Garno to transport goods to the north western country Galiall, however they eventually find themselves taking part in the conflict between Galiall and its southern neighbour Donta that is tied to the history of Vallen.
