How to Get Marth

Available from the Beginning

Emblem Marth is available at the very beginning of the game and is the very first Emblem Ring you use. He is the first emblem players get in the game as a nod to being one of the first characters in the Fire Emblem series. He joins Alear's party early on as part of the story, but will eventually be stolen in Chapter 11: Retreat along with the Emblem Rings of Sigurd, Celica, Micaiah, Roy, and Leif.

When to Get Marth Back

You will get Marth and his Emblem Ring back at the beginning of Chapter 23: The Four Hounds. Marth can be used as an Emblem again by your party for the duration of the game.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light Story
The story begins when Prince Marth's homeland, Altea, was attacked by the nation of Dolhr. Marth was forced to become an exile in the nation of Talys. After two years, Marth joins forces with Altean knight, Jagen, and the princess of Talys, Caeda, alongside many allies to confront Dolhr. By proceeding through the story, you can recruit more allies and sometimes it is even possible to persuade enemies to join Marth's cause. Marth is not particularly strong just because he is the main character, but he overcomes difficulties by working together with the allies he meets.
