- Corrin is found and captured by Hoshidan soldiers, who recognize them as a long-lost member of the Hoshidan royal family.
- Corrin is brought to meet their blood relatives and Azura at the capital city. However, soldiers attack the city, and a hooded assassin attempts to kill Corrin. Mikoto shields them at the cost of her life.
- In the aftermath, Corrin comes into possession of a legendary sword called Yato, said to belong to the one who will save the world.

Conquest[]
- Corrin both fights in the war against Hoshido, and works with their adoptive family to change Nohr's brutal reputation from within.
- After Azura reveals that King Garon has been replaced by an impostor, Corrin decides to have Garon sit upon the magical throne of Hoshido, which will remove the false Garon's disguise.
- During the invasion of Hoshido, the Nohrians spare Hinoka and capture Sakura, while Takumi, whose behavior has become increasingly erratic and violent throughout the war, apparently dies by jumping off of a rampart.
- Garon orders Corrin to kill Ryoma.
- After their fight, Ryoma spares Corrin the pain of killing their own brother by killing himself.
- Infusing the Yato with the power of Xander and Leo's Legendary Weapons, Corrin confronts and kills the false Garon. However, a crazed Takumi suddenly appears and attacks them, and it is revealed he has been long dead and his body is possessed.
- Corrin destroys Takumi's body to free his soul.

Revelation[]
- Corrin rejects both Hoshido and Nohr, and is denounced as a traitor by both.
- They flee with Azura and one of their retainers through the Bottomless Canyon to the kingdom of Valla.
- Azura explains that the king of Valla, the dragon Anankos, has plans for humanity's destruction; he is the one who killed and replaced Garon, and he is responsible for Takumi's descent into madness.
- Azura also reveals her history as the daughter of the king Anankos usurped, and that a curse placed by Anankos will kill them if they reveal Valla's existence to anyone outside its borders. The two decide to kill Anankos.
- Fleeing Valla with Gunter, who survived his fall into the chasm, Azura reveals that they must unite Corrin's twin families before a natural event which will seal the passage for decades.
- Corrin travels through Hoshido and Nohr, gradually gaining the trust and allegiance of their hereditary and adopted families. They also learn that their sword Yato is the "Seal of Flames", which when combined with the other families' Legendary Weapons will become the Fire Emblem, capable of killing Anankos.
- Once the group enter Valla, the party heads to confront Anankos. During their journey, they battle the resurrected bodies of Mikoto, Azura's mother Arete, and Sumeragi, the latter of whom is revealed to be Mikoto's assassin.
- During their battle with Mikoto, Corrin learns that they and Azura are maternal cousins, making Corrin heir to Valla's throne.
- The group is eventually betrayed by Gunter, who was possessed by Anankos since first coming to Valla, but Corrin succeeds in freeing Gunter from Anankos' control.
- When they face Anankos, they are initially helpless, but Ryoma, Takumi, Xander, and Leo feed the power of their Legendary Weapons into Yato, transforming it into the Fire Emblem.
- Near death after being defeated, Anankos summons and eats the impostor Garon to regain his strength but is finally destroyed with the Fire Emblem.
- In the aftermath, Valla is reestablished on the surface, Azura crowns Corrin its new ruler, and an everlasting peace is established between the three kingdoms.
