The official website describes the plot of Legend Of Heroes: Trails Of North Steel Northern War anime as:

The year 1205 of the Seven Yours calendar.
Lavi, a young girl, was born and raised in the autonomous province of Northumbria, the poorest region in the north-western part of the continent of Zemuria.
She volunteers to serve in the famous “Hunters of the North,” the largest hunting party on the continent, to prove that she is different from her grandfather Vlad, who was once revered as a hero but betrayed Northumbria.
Lavie was so devoted to her duties that she repeatedly violated the rules.
One day, she is ordered to join a platoon with Marty, Iseria, and Talion
on a reckless secret spy mission to the Erebonian Empire. The mission is to get information on the “Hero of the Empire,” an unknown entity that threatens Northumbria.

The Legend of Heroes is a series of role-playing video games developed by Nihon Falcom. First starting as a part of the Dragon Slayer series in the late 1980s, the series evolved into its own decade-spanning, interconnected series with fourteen entries, including several subseries.

All games in the franchise released since 2004 are part of the Trails subseries, known as Kiseki in Japan. The most recent entry, The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki, was released in 2021.

In 2009, three volumes of a Trails in the Sky manga were published in Japan by Kadokawa Shoten, which was followed next year by a sequel, Trails from Zero: Pre-Story, published by ASCII Media Works. Two original video animation anime episodes of Trails in the Sky were respectively released in October 2011 and January 2012.
