Eliwood's tale - Finding Elbert
Eliwood's tale takes place a year after the events of Lyn's tale. A month before the story begins, the marquess of Pherae and Eliwood's father, Lord Elbert, vanished while journeying abroad, along with several of his best vassals. Eliwood leaves Pherae to search for him, along with the paladin Marcus, an old family retainer, and the cavalier Lowen a new but skilled Pheraean recruit.
Eliwood, desperate to find any lead on his father, leaves Pherae. Hector sneaks away from Ostia to accompany him in his search. Elbert first goes to Santaruz to ask Helman, the marquess, if he knows anything of Elbert's whereabouts. Eliwood arrives to find Helman injured by a member of the Black Fang, Ephidel. Helman uses his dying words to inform Eliwood to seek out marquess Laus, Darin.
Eliwood and Hector head for Laus but end up attacked by Darin's subordinates and his son, Erik. Darin flees before he is captured, abandoning his son. After being defeated, Erik tells Eliwood of the strange man, named Ephidel, that is manipulating his father. Eliwood then chases after Darin and the Black Fang; he then finds himself defending Caelin from a Black Fang assault and earns Lyn as an ally.
Nergal controls Ninian to use Elbert's quintessence to open the Dragon's Gate.
Leila, an Ostian spy situated into the Black Fang, appears and informs Hector that the Black Fang and Darin are on the Dread Isle. Eliwood immediately leaves for Badon to request passage to the isle. He is initially unsuccessful, owing to the island's reputation, though eventually the pirate captain Fargus steps up to the challenge.
After arriving on the isle and fighting through a large portion of the Black Fang's forces and encountering Ninian, Eliwood kills Darin and finally locates his father in the clutches of a man named Nergal. Nergal attempts to summon a dragon with Ninian using Elbert's Quintessence, but he is interrupted by Nils and the incompletely opened gate destroys the dragon and Ephidel, who was standing nearby. Nergal reappears after the gate has stabilized, but Elbert wounds him to chase him off. Unfortunately Elbert dies in Eliwood's arms after this and the group leaves the Dread Isle to head home to Pherae.
