Welcome to Noble Emblem 3, a series of games which will serve as 'Beginner's' game of the FEF games.
FEF means 'Fire Emblem on Forums' and is a forum game that bases its rules, classes and general 'feel' on the Fire Emblem series, a fairly popular franchise of tactical RPGs hailing from Japan. The series (and FEFs as well) are characterized by lengthy plot, much character development and quite high difficulty.
Noble Emblem introduces several changes that will allow new players - who had little knowledge of Fire Emblem or never played it - to get themselves accustomed to the difficulty and complexity of the game in slow, not-so-murderous way.

Recruitment:For NEF3, there are 7 player slots: NPC Leader's aides (2) and Descartes mercenaries (5)
The NPC Leader's aide slots are reserved for an
FEF Veterans, a person who I know that is actively taking part in one or few Fire Emblem on Forums' games. These people will provide guidance to the newbie players, from character creation to tactical help and everything in-between.
Descartes' mercenaries slots are reserved for
newbies. It's hard to define a newbie, but if I saw you in my FEF or some other FEFs, chances are you're not really a newbie anymore
If you're playing a newbie Noble Emblem 2, you can't join as newbie in NEF3. You can join as
veteran, if you feel you're experienced enough!
NEF vs FEF:Compared to FEF, Noble Emblem is
shorter, linear and easier than FEF and other-player incarnations of the game.
NEF Characters start as lvl1, First Class, with Iron-grade weapon and one Vulnerary (3/3).
NEF2 will consist of Prologue, 2-3 Chapters and Final Chapter.
