The eighth game in the Fire Emblem series, the third release for the Game Boy Advance, and the second to be released outside of Japan. This game stars the royal twins of Renais, Eirika and Ephraim, as they try to find out why neighbouring kingdom Grado attacked their land and investigate into rumours of the Demon King being revived.

Sacred Stones brings back many features last seen in Fire Emblem Gaiden, such as a world map the protagonists navigate before battles and freely repeatable skirmishes that allow the player to grind up strength if they are struggling. It also introduces split promotions, allowing a unit to take an alternative route for their growth.

A short ROM hack of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. It takes about 3-5 hours to beat and contains 5-6 original chapters. It features all-new characters, story, and map design. Hopefully, it takes the best elements of Fire Emblem's level design and storytelling without the annoying bits.
