Storyline

The main conflict in Fire Emblem Heroes is a war between the nations of Askr and Embla. The protagonist, also known as the summoner, whose name can be chosen by the player, aids the Kingdom of Askr and its Order of Heroes, whose members include its Commander Anna, Prince Alfonse, and Princess Sharena. Embla is led by Princess Veronica and Prince Bruno. Both sides use summoned heroes from other worlds, with the other worlds being the settings of other Fire Emblem games. The story of the game is broken up into different "books", with each book having a different focus. Subsequent books focus on different realms based on those in Norse mythology: the second book focuses on Askr working alongside the kingdom of ice, Nifl, against the invading forces of Surtr, ruler of the kingdom of flame; the third focuses on a conflict with Hel, the realm of the dead; the fourth focuses on a conflict in the realm of dreams between the Dökkálfar and Ljósálfar; the fifth focuses on a conflict with Niðavellir, a technologically advanced realm; the sixth focuses on the resolution of the conflict between Askr and Embla as Askr tries to remove an Emblian bloodline curse; the seventh focuses on Askr working alongside Vanaheimr, the realm of light, to combat the threat of Gullveig, who can control time; the eighth focuses on a conflict against Yggdrasil; the ninth focuses on a conflict with Ásgarðr, who seek to capture a boy named Rune; and the tenth focuses on Rune, revealed to actually be the true Alfaðör and creator of all, summoning Fimbulvetr to attack and destroy Nifl.
