Blog prompt: Fire emblem the Sacred Stones (FE8) Small Guide

The countries in Magvel, which includes Frelia, Rausten, Carcino, Grado, Renais and Jehanna, once lived in peace and harmony. But Grado's emperor, Virgarde, has started a war against the whole country, but Grado was the largest and most powerful country in Magvel. This was unusual to all living in Magvel, and Virgarde has commanded his troops to conquer certain countries in Magvel, so as to make sure Magvel will no more be consisting of many countries, but only Grado. So, Grado invaded Renais, which is the home of the two main characters, namely Eirika and Ephraim, and their father, Fado. Grado's forces conquered Renais, and Fado has ordered them to leave, while he fights to his death. Ephraim escapes ahead of them, and decides he will take on Virgarde alone. Eirika escapes with Seth, a loyal and faithful servant of Fado. Fado has given Seth and Eirika orders to stop the Grado forces and try to return peace to the land, and so, they set off on their journey.
You start off as Eirika, where she must seize the thrones of places that she is destined to go, but be warned, it is not that of a simple task only to charge forth and command Eirika to seize the throne. There are enemies to defeat, and bosses too, whom are guarding the throne, and you must defeat him/her in order to seize the throne. In some cases, however, you must defeat all enemies in order to proceed to the next level, but in this case, chapter. You are progressing through a story, where you go through chapters till the very end. You have allies, some good ones, and some just needs training in order for them to be good and aid you through your mission. Characters change classes, and become stronger from then on, which some of them will be even more powerful when they have multiple allies of the same class, such as the Falcoknight. They specialise in the Triangle attack, which needs three of them to surround a monster or enemy and from there they will do three times the normal damage to the moster or enemy.
For the characters, these are the characters you are about to have or must recruit as you progress. I will proceed up till chapter 8 where I will explain more. If you already know this, just skip this part and read the second part.

Chapter Prologue: Characters will be Eirika and Seth which will be automatically given.

Chapter 1: Characters will be Franz and Gilliam which will be automatically given.

Chapter 2: Characters will be Vanessa, Moulder, Garcia and Ross which Vanessa and Moulder will be automatically given and Garcia and Ross must be recruited.

Chapter 3: Characters will be Neimi and Colm which Neimi will be automatically given and Colm must be recruited.

Chapter 4: Characters will be Artur and Lute which Artur will be automatically given and Lute must be collected from the village at the south.

Chapter 5: Characters will be Natasha and Joshua which Natasha will be automatically given and Joshua must be recruited.

Chapter 5x: Characters will be Ephraim, Orson, Kyle and Forde which all of them will only be available for this chapter. There is no need to worry, they all be in your party in the future.

Chapter 6: There will be no extra characters for this chapter.

Chapter 7: There will be no extra characters for this chapter.

Chapter 8: Characters will be Ephraim, Forde and Kyle which will be automatically given. It will only stay for this chapter before they part ways.

So I have discussed till Chapter 8 where you will fight you first formidable opponent (actually he is not that formidable, just that you by that time, you level is still too low). All chapters have names, and so do all bosses. the rest might just be called 'Brigand', or 'Enemy'. If you see a person with an actual name, excluding the bosses, that means you can recruit that character, regardless of whether it is in the other team or enemy team. If the character that can be recruited is in the enemy team, you must be extra careful in recruiting them as when they strike you, you might accidentally kill them or they might accidentally kill you. And when a character dies, the cahracter cannot be revived ever again, and so when one of your character dies, I recommend that you restart the chapter again, regardless of how far you progressed into the chapter. Do not ever save the game.
I also mentioned previously on the parting of ways. You may ask, what does it mean? Well, the story goes like this: After Chapter 8, Eirika and Ephraim returm to Frelia castle, where they call upon a meeting and decide where to go. After their discussion, you will be allowed to choose which character you want to follow. Basically, Ephraim's route to Grado is more difficult and more dangerous then Eirika's. Ephraim will go to Grado, which on Chapter 14, you will take on Virgarde himself. Virgarde's stats are high, so beware, quite a formidable opponent to you at that time.
Ok, now about class changing. You will think that you will just need to achieve a certain level and they will automatically change the class for you. Well, this only happens for the very basic classes, namely Recruit, Pupil and Journeyman, which are Amelia, Ewan and Ross respectively. They start from humble beginnings, very low stats, easily striked, low avoidability, so on so forth. But when they approach the last class, they are are the ones who have the best stats around. The max level for the this game is level 20, and as you level up, your stats will be increased. But this is due to luck and only luck. Some levels, all your stats can be pumped, but for some and extremely rare cases, your stats do not even get pumped at all.

Ok, i will stop here. Wait for the next update! Sorry.
