Which continent is the first Fire Emblem game set on?

The first Fire Emblem game is set on the fictional continent of Archanea.

Archanea is the central setting of Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, where Prince Marth leads a campaign against the Dolhr Empire. The story moves through kingdoms and regions including Altea, Aurelis, Archanea, Grust, Macedon, Khadein, and Dolhr, making the continent feel like a broad political and military landscape rather than a single kingdom.

Archanea is also important beyond the original game. It returns in later titles such as Mystery of the Emblem and its remakes, while Marth’s story continues through the wider Archanea saga. It should not be confused with Elyos, the setting of Fire Emblem Engage; Jugdral, the setting of Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776; or Tellius, the setting of Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.
