“The year is 2135 ACF, and the wheels of time are shifting once again…
The Nanten Empire lies shattered, its people and army disorganized by a surprise invasion from the Léi Dynasty. Their leaders are silent, death and betrayal run rampant with no one able or willing to look at the bigger picture… No one, save for the brothers of the Empire’s lowest House.
While the Eldest brother Kazutora tries to rally what remains of the Empire’s army in order to fight back, his younger brother Masataka, is on the hunt for the answers they so desperately need.
There was a reason for Léi Tiānlóng’s invasion, and in order to find it, Masataka must go searching for the records of ages long past. He can only hope he’ll be quick enough to find them before any harm comes to his brother.
However, in order for the future to truly begin, light must be shed on the catalyst set millennia ago in ages past. After all…
Those who never learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.”
R e w i n d t h e c l o c k
“It is the Age of Myth, 1599 BCF and the time to rise up is now…
The two leaders of one of many human led liberation groups, are retreating from a successful raid against the Lucavi: Demonic entities that have ruled over the land since time immemorial.
While childhood friends Toshirō Yokaze and Léi Yīnglóng continue their flight through the valley, the nefarious Lucavi leaders plot and plan their retaliation.
To have even a fraction of a chance to defeat them, Toshirō and Yīnglóng have to do more than just do small raids. They have to do more than just stop the ruthless plans of the Lucavi. They have to do more than just fight for their lives as they’ve always done…
It was the Age of Myth, 1599 BCF, and NO ONE was prepared for the events that would occur that year…"

Quick Disclaimer (Because I watched a video a friend sent me and I felt it was valid enough to say): No Gen AI or AI of any kind was or will be used in this hack. Everything you’ll see and play is the result of my hard work in making sure the story is actually good and the hard work of the people I’ve commissioned because I’m not the best at drawing or assets I’ve borrowed from the Repo with permission and proper credits, even if they’re only meant as placeholders.
I will not use AI, I do not need AI. That’s all.

About the Developer (It's a long read, I'm sorry. Please don't feel obligated to read this)
Hello all,
My name is Silvio and honestly? It’s a little weird talking about me. My creative talents are very limited save for playing musical instruments but for my whole life, I’ve loved playing video games. Primarily Zelda games and Musou games, but I’ve played all sorts of games growing up. I never for a second thought that I’d ever create something like a fan game of all things for a series I only started to play because I got my hands on the old Thracia patch way back when and loved it.
And then the Pandemic happened…
It was turn of the year 2020, I’m a junior in college with my friends… and then I couldn’t see them for quite a while. Then I was a senior in college, remote learning is happening and then 2021 came and here I was: Summer of 2021 and about to graduate College when a thought struck me.
What if I MADE something. Used the unfortunate circumstances of current events to make something new…
What if I created a world, and characters, and a story! GASP… WHAT IF I HAD A TVTROPES PAGE FOR SOMETHING I MADE?! (Sometimes I just love reading TvTropes ok? Sometimes you learn something new!)
And so I started writing. And rewriting. And talking with friends, and more. Soon this became an outlet, something to pour energy into so I wouldn’t lose my way or despair about things beyond my control. (Trust me, there was a lot.) And then it hit me
What I wanted to do. What I wanted to make? Entirely possible, but not something I could do by myself and working a 9-5 job. I was gonna need people to help me. Maybe I could ask other people to help! But I also realized, no one would want to help someone who’s never done a lick of hacking before… so that’s how this little project was born.
While the big hack I want to make, Project Last Stand (it has a title, but I’m not gonna share it yet) is still something I ABSOLUTELY want to make, I figured hey, what if I made a prequel for it? What if I built HISTORY for my world. It might be a small hack, but if I do this right… maybe it could be… enough.
And so Dawn of Medeon was finalized.
This is my attempt to start making SOMETHING playable in the world I spent multiple years working on. It’s a small start, but I’m confident in it, in a way I’ve never been confident before. I want to be able to make something that people can play. Something that can at least make one person say “You know what? I liked that.” What a relief it would be, to know that there is one person out there who liked what I made.
To my best friends, my brothers… You four know who you are. You’ve been my lights in the tunnels I’ve faced. You make me stronger and for every stumble I had, your hands were there to guide my way. Our bonds are something I will always cherish, now and forever.
To my Mother… Thank you for always being there when I had an idea, a thought or just needed to talk. Thanks for the brainstorming sessions, and for the countless mugs of tea we brewed for each other when we both had inspiration for our creations.
To everyone I’ve ever talked to about this.
To everyone who’s ever known about this.
To everyone who’s ever listened to me talk about this.
To all of you, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I will not let you down.
In War, Victory,
Silvio Nightwind
PS: Future Silvio here, I thought I’d just say that I was struck with more inspiration that I’m making this a 3 part Saga. Yes, while drafting this message for the Universe thread, I thought to myself
“What would the future look like…
What would the future look like…?
Oh shit, what WOULD the future look like?!”
And then it went wild from there.
Why must I put more work on myself?
PPS: Also yes I’m not lying, Thracia 776 was my first Fire Emblem and is my favorite Fire Emblem game. THEREFORE: Leif by extension my favorite Lord. That’s my kiddo.
Credits (Version 1, The FEE3 2024 Edition)

If your work appears in this game and for some reason your name isn’t in this credits page PLEASE
by all means let me know. The last thing I want to do is not give credit where it is very much due
as there is no way that this game could’ve been made without commissions, custom submissions
and the repository.
KNOWN ISSUES FOR THE DEMO (So far, even with playtesting)
- For some reason, if you load into a save sometimes it may play the menu theme during cutscenes. I don’t know why this happens nor do I know how to fix it YET. (As of Demo 1.2 this MAY have been fixed, but I’ll need you guys to tell me if so cause I start back work up tomorrow)
- The music for Chapters 2 and 3 are the songs I want to play for those chapters. However I cannot loop it to save my life, I tried. If anyone is good at looping music on Audacity I quite literally would love you forever if you helped me (as well as nab yourself a pretty spot on my Credits list) Editors Note: Special shout out and thank you to FEUniverse user PKLucky ONCE AGAIN for coming in clutch as per usual. The looped tracks will be added in the 1.3 update and you’ll be in the credits on here and on the txt page when the update drops. Thanks again Lucky, you’re the best.
- The talk Convo with Toshirō and Mithras in Chapter 3 will not activate if Mithras initiates the convo, not gamebreaking but it is annoying. Will be fixed in an upcoming patch when I have more things to fix.
Work is being done as we speak to quash these bugs, thank you for your patience and understanding.
