The Adrestian Empire is the oldest nation on the continent of Fódlan. In Imperial Year 1181, the imperial throne was passed to Edelgard, bearer of the Crest of Flames and the minor Crest of Seiros!

Following this, she declared war on the Church of Seiros, which held considerable influence over all of Fódlan. She then attacked and claimed Garreg Mach Monastery, the seat of the Church.

Having claimed the monastery, Edelgard set her sights on the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and the Leicester Alliance. Her battle would not end until she had unified all of Fódlan and established a new world order…
