    History

    Altea started its existance as small island village in southern Archanea. When the dark dragon Medeus conquered the land, Princess Artemis of Archanea fled to the island, seeking refuge from Medeus's assault. The towns people were reluctant to hide Artemis, but one brave youth decided to take a stand and rebel against Medeus. This youth was Anri, a man of heroic character who set out on a quest to defeat Medeus. After Anri got the Falchion sword and defeated Medeus, he returned to his village after being prevented from marrying Princess Artemis. With the help of his brother Marcelus, Anri founded the Kingdom of Altea, sworn guardian of Archanea, and began a legacy of the greatest knights known throughout the land.

Just when victory seemed within reach, King Jiol of Gra betrayed Cornelius, and attacked his army from behind. Defeated, Cornelius told his squire Cain to give a message to his son Marth, "Tell my son that I leave the future of Altea and our continent in his hands. He must rise now where I have fallen. As Falchion's rightful heir, he has been born into greatness... Now... he must be great…"
