The first mission given to Shez's class is to mop up the remaining members of Kostas's bandits that were responsible for the ambush in the woods.
However, because of Shez's actions, Byleth consequently does not become an academy teacher in this timeline, and the house that Shez chooses to join is instead taught by the weapons instructor Jeritza. Similar to Three Houses, the story plays out in a different fashion depending on the house Shez chooses to enroll with. Consequently, Shez is asked to come with the Church soldiers to Garreg Mach Monastery, where they are given the opportunity to enroll as a student at the Officers Academy in the house of their choosing. In the Three Hopes version of this event, it is Shez that aids them in fighting off the bandits. Six months after this incident, Shez is lost in the woods near Remire when they stumble into the path of Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude, who are on the run from bandits. Shez learns that, because of Arval, they are incapable of dying. However, Shez is immediately brought back from death and escapes with their life due to an entity named Arval that awakens within them. In a bid to attack and destroy Jeralt's Mercenaries, Shez's mercenary companions are wiped out instead, and Shez in turn is struck down by Byleth. The main character is Shez, a mercenary who at the beginning of the game is in service of Berling's Mercenaries, who rival Jeralt's Mercenaries. Several relatives of the Three Houses cast either appear for the first time or are fought against: Rufus is the uncle of Dimitri Leopold, Waldemar, Grégoire and Matthias are the fathers of Caspar, Linhardt, Bernadetta and Sylvain respectively Holst is the brother of Hilda Shahid is the older half-brother of Claude.įire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is set in an alternate timeline from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Some characters from the latter reappear in the former as playable characters, including Monica in the Scarlet Blaze route, and Rodrigue in the Azure Gleam route. The longer second part then jumps two years later, with Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude seen in multiple storyline routes: Scarlet Blaze, Azure Gleam, and Golden Wildfire as their three nations are now at war with each other. The first begins in Imperial Year 1180, during the characters' time as students at the Officers Academy, acting as an introductory segment to the game. The story of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is set on the continent of Fódlan and begins a year before the events of Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
