[edit] Plot
Part 1 of the game focuses on the Dawn Brigade, a group of chivalrous thieves, as they attempt to liberate Daein from Begnion oppression. Their figurehead is Micaiah, the "silver-haired maiden". During their travels they discover Prince Pelleas, the son of the late King Ashnard. Micaiah leads the newly-formed Daein Liberation Army to many victories over Begnion and eventually drives out the occupying forces. Pelleas is crowned the new king of Daein.
Part 2 is the shortest of the game at a length of five chapters. The young and inexperienced Queen Elincia of Crimea faces a rebellion of nobles who wish to usurp her. With the help of her retainers and knights, Elincia manages to imprison the rebel leader only to discover that his men have captured her friend and confidante. At the last minute, the Greil Mercenaries arrive and rescue her, putting an end to the rebellion.
In Part 3, another war begins, and Ike and the Greil Mercenaries ally with the Laguz Alliance against Begnion. Ike eventually joins forces with Elincia and the empress of Begnion, while Micaiah and the Daein army are coerced into fighting for the Begnion Senate. During a battle, Ike's sister receives telepathic messages to awaken the dark god within Lehran's Medallion. When Micaiah does so, she is possessed by the dark god, revealed to be Yune, goddess of chaos. She is the counterpart to Ashera, goddess of order, who has also awakened. Ashera delivers her judgment and petrifies almost everyone on Tellius.
In the fourth and final part of the game, Yune's forces travel to the Tower of Guidance. Along the way, they battle the Begnion Senate and discover the true instigator of the recent wars. At the top of the tower, Ike defeats Ashera with Yune's power. Yune then restores all of the petrified people and departs from the world as well. The game ends as the characters leave to continue their lives. The specifics of most of the characters' fates depends on whether they survived to the end of the game and support levels shared with particular individuals.
[edit] In Super Smash Bros Brawl
While Ike appears with his Path of Radiance model and outfit, he is still one of the main characters in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Sothe, The Black Knight, Micaiah, and Queen Elincia are major characters in the game, and appear as Trophies. Ike in his Radiant Dawn attire, Micaiah, and Sothe are all stickers.
