=========================================================================

Act 2 (Celica's Setting Off) is a soundtrack composed originally for the Nintendo Famicom game, Fire Emblem Gaiden, released in 1992. It is the outer world map theme for one of the main protagonists in the game, Celica, which plays at the Act 2 Map Selection of the game.

Fire Emblem Gaiden, in nearly three decades, had its eventual remake released for the Nintendo 3DS, titled Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Act 2 (Celica's Setting Off) is renamed as The Ark of Dawn for the remake. As a much more improved track compared to Gaiden's original version, it is one of the best tracks in the entire game.

In 2018, after the release of Fire Emblem Music Collection: Faith and Engagement album,
Intelligent Systems released a new album titled Fire Emblem Music Collection: Flowers and Enchantment. The album features fifteen (15) tracks in total, each with a new arrangement and few are given lyrical composition for their tracks. One of the new arrangements featured was The Ark of Dawn, which was a complete different take from the soundtrack prior it. From a solemn and calming track, it turned into one of the most powerful tracks in the entire album.

And that ends the history of the track The Ark of Dawn, for now. I wonder if they are going to release a Premium Arrange arrangement of this track? I wonder if they'll go the route of how the Flower of Enchantment did? Hope you enjoy reading the description somewhat that I made up.
