On December of 2012, Shin Kibayashi was approached to write the Birthright storyline. He almost refused the offer due to his work schedule, but after playing through a copy of Awakening with his daughter, Kibayashi decided to accept and wrote an initial draft story.

Despite his initial commitment of a ten-page summary for each storyline, he became fond of the characters and the full summary for Birthright extended to 500 pages. After delivering his work, he then wrote summaries of equal length for Conquest and Revelation, driven by the need to create a high-quality story.
