An old book bound in leather. Telltale signs of wear and age show that it was written long ago. It chronicles the journey of a nameless Tarnished throughout the Lands Between. Surely, its former owner was comforted by the thought that someday it would be read by another so that he may be remembered in some way. Remembrance is a luxury rarely afforded to the Tarnished, after all.

There is not a soul who does not know of Marth, Hero King and Savior. But there are few who know that person, the Hero King's friend and bodyguard, the leader of the Seventh Platoon of Altean Knights. This is the story of the Hero of Shadow, the Seventh Platoon, and their battles throughout the War of Heroes. AU
