“Once, Leonster was a prosperous kingdom.
Those days have long since passed.”
Fire Emblem: Knights of Leonster follows General Xavier and his adjutants as they struggle to protect Leonster while working under the imperial crown. He’ll have to balance his loyalties as the city falls into chaos and the dream of liberation draws closer.

Features
- 20 main story chapters, a prolouge, and an interlude playable at this time. 30 chapters planned.
- A story set during the occupation of Leonster prior to Leif’s arrival in FE5, following Xavier and his adjutants as they struggle to survive under the rule of House Friege.
- Xavier’s adjutants from Chapter 18 of FE5, with colors and names coming from the Lil’ Manster translation patch.
- A diverse cast of units with varying weapon types, strengths, and weaknesses.
- Player phase focused gameplay based off of Berwick Saga, FE6, and Gaiden.
- Skill minimalism, player units typically only have a single personal skill and enemies lack skills entirely.
- Thracia mechanics, such as dismounting, anima split, and capture
- All units get +1 movement to be in line with Thracia.
Content warning
- Sexual themes
- Alcohol use
- Mild language
TLDR: Nothing out of line of typical Fire Emblem writing, except with some (marginally) stronger language

Special Thanks----------------------------------
Vesly, for walking me through silently giving skills.
Cynon for providing me with an altered version of the mineshaft tileset, with beds included.
The Lil’ Manster team for character names for the Leonster Guard. In general, I tried to keep my dialogue as distinct as possible from the translation when covering the same scenes, but there are a few lines lifted from there.
SpecificOcean, you’ve been an invaluable help and a constant source of support on this hack. I don’t think I could have made this hack without you.
would love to see a nice general sprite for the characters 
Most of what I have left to do is writing and polish.
