Game Information
Being the eldest prince of Nohr, one of the kingdoms featured, Xander is a key character in the game since he has trained with the player, known as Corrin in the English version by default. Nohr is known as a dark place yet has riches and focuses on strength and conquest. Thus the title route of its side known as "Conquest". The player must choose to either play that, or a different route, though the preferred order is Birthright, Conquest, and then Revelations.
For Fire Emblem Fates, the story is about you, who is a middle child living in Nohr and have grown up and stayed in a massive fortress that Nohr is known for. Xander and the other siblings - Camilla, Leo, and Elise - have visited you throughout the years so you won't feel lonely. Finally, your father, the King of Nohr, decides to let you go out and defeat enemies to prove your growth, and in Nohr, strength is held in high regard in both physical and magical.
During your jouney, you find out that Nohr isn't really your home...and that's when the real story begins.
