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.

Fire Emblem: Tales of Kotor is a custom Sacred Stones romhack, with an original story/world, characters, levels, and custom graphics/music. It is a sequel to Call of the Armor, and should be played after that game.

Format: This game is in an anthology style format, with 12 different tales all featuring different characters, and can be played in (mostly) any order. Like Call of the Armor, this hack was made in a telephone style by different creators making different tales.

Plot: A certain soul has found themselves in a blisteringly hot cave, with only an eager serpentine storyteller for company. With little else to do, they pass the time by listening to tales of the rich and storied land of Kotor.They will hear of bounty hunters and wayward queens, of stricken gods and lost souls, but something hides in the shadows of these stories... a common thread that will reveal of an event that will shake the entire world.
