Plot

''Langrisser III'' is a prequel to the first two games in the series and deals with the creation of the sword Langrisser. Consequentially, it is also set before the prequel series ''Elthlead'', and lays the foundation for the wars which take place in that strategy series. The game also introduces the genealogies which dominate most of the ''Langrisser'' series, with the exception of '' Langrisser IV'', which is set on the Western continent Yeless.
