The story of the video game Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Fire Emblem: Three Houses  is a tactical role-playing video game, developed by Intelligent Systems and Koei Tecmo for Nintendo Switch and published worldwide by Nintendo. It is the sixteenth in Fire Emblem and the first for home consoles since Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn , originally released in 2007.

Three Houses is set on the continent of Fódlan, divided between three superpowers in power currently at peace. These nations are connected through the Garreg Mach Monastery, which houses a church and an officer school for students from each nation. Taking on the role of Byleth, a former mercenary with a mysterious past and the new professor of the academy, the player must choose a class to guide their students through a series of battles. The game retains the turn-based tactical gameplay of previous titles Fire Emblem , incorporating social simulation and time management elements.

A video game that would be nice to see as an animated series.

 The story of Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Players take on the role of the main character, named Byleth by default, who can be either male or female. A mercenary by profession, he enrolls in the Academy of Officers of the Garreg Mach Monastery as a teacher. During their journey Byleth is helped by Sothis, a strange and initially amnesiac girl who appears in their dreams and can only be heard by them. At Garreg Mach Monastery, Byleth chooses one of three schools, each aligned with a different nation of Fódlan. They are the Black Eagles led by Edelgard, imperial princess and heir to the throne of Adrest; the Blue Lions, commanded by Prince Dimitri of the Kingdom; and the Golden Deer led by Claude, heir to the main family of the Alliance. The Monastery staff includes those who work directly for the Church, some of whom are recruitable by the player. Other characters include Jeralt, Byleth's father, and Rhea, archbishop of the Church

One night, Byleth and Jeralt save three young nobles, Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude from the bandits, impressing them greatly. During the attack, Byleth is saved by the mysterious Sothis, who remains inside them. Jeralt and Byleth are summoned to Garreg Mach Monastery, home to the Church of Seiros, the dominant religion of Fódlan. Jeralt reluctantly rejoins the military arm of the Church, the Knights of Seiros, while Byleth is appointed professor of the monastery's Academy of Officers. Jeralt privately warns Byleth not to trust the Archbishop of the Church, Rhea. Byleth is then given the opportunity to lead one of the academy's three houses: the Black Eagles, Blue Lions or Golden Deers, each populated by students from the Empire, Kingdom and Alliance respectively. Byleth assumes their duties as a teacher for the chosen house, training their students and leading them in battles on behalf of the Knights of Seiros. Byleth and their students uncover frightening clues to the nature of relics and crests, like a relic thief transforming into a monster. Various conspiracies intrude on the monastery and plot against the Church: masked warriors called Emperor of the Flame and Knight of Death, the western branch of the Church, and a hostile cult known as "those who creep in the dark". Byleth thwarts an attempt to steal a powerful relic of the hero, the creator's sword. Unexpectedly, the Sword is activated when Byleth holds it and Rhea allows them to hold it. like a relic thief who turns into a monster.

Jeralt is murdered by an agent of "those who crawl in the dark". Reading Jeralt's diary, Byleth discovers that Jeralt fled the Church due to Rhea's plans for Byleth when they were born. The "Sothis" within Byleth is the original Progenitor God, implanted by Rhea in Byleth as a child so that Sothis could be reborn. Byleth pursues the cultists responsible for Jeralt's death. A magical attack from one of their leaders forces Sothis to fuse with Byleth, allowing them to survive and defeat the cult members with a newly upgraded Sword of the Creator. Rhea makes a futile attempt to awaken Sothis within Byleth, but the Emperor of the Flame attacks the ceremony with the allies of the Adrestian Empire. The Emperor of the Flame is revealed to be Edelgard, who like Byleth carries the Crest of Flames; accuses the Church of being corrupt. If Byleth sides with Edelgard, they help her lead an assault on Garreg Mach. If they take sides with Rea, Dimitri or Claude, then they help in the defense of the monastery; It also turns out that Rhea is a dragon. Regardless of the chosen faction, Byleth passes out at the end of the battle and wakes up five years later to find that Fódlan has fallen to war as the Empire, Kingdom, Alliance and Church collide. The roads then diverge. discovering that Fódlan has fallen into war as the Empire, the Kingdom, the Covenant and the Church fight each other.
