TearRing Saga: Berwick Saga

TearRing Saga Series: Berwick Saga, subtitled Lazberia Chronicle Chapter 174 , is a game for the PlayStation 2 console. While it is officially the sequel to the original TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, the games are not significantly related by plot, and the Berwick Saga battle and skill systems borrow significantly less from Fire Emblem than the Utna Heroes Saga battle and skill system did; because of this, the two games barely resemble each other in terms of gameplay.

Berwick Saga takes place on the continent of Lazberia in the same world as Lieberia from TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, but roughly a millennium after the events of that game.

It has been over a decade since the beginning of the most recent in a long history of bloody wars between the Berwick League and their bitter enemy, the Raze Empire. The Berwick League, led by the Kingdom of Veria, quickly falls apart after the death of King Mordias IV of Veria, and more than half of the League’s lands are swiftly occupied by the Raze Empire. Due to a relatively recent civil war among the nations of the Berwick League, several of its members decide to defect and assist the Raze Empire in its invasion.

Mordias’s son and successor King Volcens flees with his court to the Duchy of Narvia, the land of his loyal vassal Duke Roswick, where he attempts to rebuild the Berwick League and prepare for a counterattack against the Raze Empire. Volcens calls across the land to all remaining loyal members of the League to join him in his fight. In answer to the king’s call, Reese, the son of a nobleman in the frontier lands of the Kingdom of Veria, arrives in the Duchy of Narvia with a small company of knights. However, beset by enemies both external and internal, the revitalized Berwick League is in danger of falling apart once more.
