    This is an Ironman challenge run of Fire Emblem 11: Shadow Dragon on Hard 5 Difficulty. In Ironman runs, I am not allowed to reset the game, use savepoints, or save states. Each action or occurrence is as a result, permanent. Any characters that die will remain dead for the rest of the run, and if I lose the game, the run is over.

    I’d like to point out that according to the credits, any dead unit in this game “vanishes from the pages of history”. So I like to think that not only is Marth sending all these people to their deaths, he’s also unpersoning them and stealing the credit for anything they may have achieved during the war.

    Little trivia for you all: in the original plans for FE1, Jagen was gonna be killed off to provide a tragic coming-of-age moment for Marth. This was scrapped due to either time constraints, technical limitations, or the inconvenience of taking away a unit from the player (which is funny, because Kaga later did that with FE4 and FE5). I guess this is what might’ve happened.
