• Strategy:
Back into Renais castle, send your units north to defeat your enemies and seize the throne. Bring pure waters, as powerful mages with long range spells await. Just like in any other narrow map, put your characters between the walls to protect yourself, strong units ahead, and ranged behind. Send every unit through the entrance you begin at, it is a total waste of time going through the longer road.
Curiously, the groups consisting of the druid and his shamans, the three warriors and two knights, won´t move until you cross their respective lines; gather your troops BEFORE crossing those lines, doing so will ensure that next turn you can launch a full scale attack. As for the enemies guarding Orson, they will not move nor attack unless you are too close to them, do not worry yourself defending from the long range attacks, unless you are ten spaces near those sages, as that is the distance within which they will attack you. After dealing with all of them, head on to the throne and Orson.

Easy enough, take out his healers to avoid any inconvenience, then after a few turns he'll be done for.

After you finish the battle and seize the throne, and some dialogues later, Eirika and Ephraim will be promotable, however, don´t do so if one of them is not level 20. As you are given the choice, if you refuse to promote them, you obtain the Bracelets, which you can use after the oncoming battles to promote them then. A unit promoted at level 20 always turns out stronger than one at level 10, as they gain more levels and attained higher stats.
