| abstract | - The Kingdom of Isaach was founded by Odo, the crusader of swordfighting. In Gran Calendar Year 757, the onset of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Rivough barbarians besieged Darna, with reports of massacre. Public outcry emerged in Grannvale to the point that Prince Kurth of Grannvale blamed Isaachian royalty and declared that Grannvale would invade Isaach. King Mananan was journeying to explain to Prince Kurth that Isaachian royalty was not involved in Rivough's siege on Darna, but he was assassinated by Duke Reptor under Manfroy's influence. This outraged the Isaachian people, and in response, Mananan's son Mariccle waged a full-scale war against Grannvale. Mariccle ordered that his half-sister Ayra and his son Shannan go into exile into Verdane to avoid the suffering they would have to go through if Isaach lost the war. Grannvale's military might was far beyond that of Isaach. The Isaachian-Grannvaleian war ended with Mariccle's assassination, followed by Prince Kurth's assassination, during Chapter 2 of Genealogy of the Holy War. During the 17 year intermission after the Battle of Belhalla, Isaach was conquered by Grannvale and was left to be ruled by House Dozel and Danann as a result of the Isaachian-Grannvaleian war. During the intermission, Isaach Castle was run by Iuchar, Sophara Castle was run by Iucharba, Ganeishire Castle was ruled by the Dozel general Harold, and Danan ruled from Rivough Castle. During this time of Danan's rule, the people of Isaach had their status lowered to that of slaves; however, due to the kind nature of his younger sons Iuchar and Iucharba, only Danan enforced the cruel Child Hunts. In the city of Tirnanog, meanwhile, Edain raised none other than young Prince Seliph alongside her own children, Lana and Lester, and other sons and daughters of the Grannvaleian army leaders. In Chapter 6, the rebel army led by Seliph liberates Isaach from Danan's tyrannical regime on Shannan's behalf. The citizens of Isaach detest the Grannvaleian Empire for having excessive power and meddling in Isaachian royalty's affairs, but they warm up to Seliph. Isaach is the first country to be liberated by the liberation army.
