I kind of dislike splitting up because that means that the characters on one side kind of misses out on all the events and characters on the other side, but if you guys come up with a reason why to do so then I will accept it. I mean, c'mon, all the player characters now would already be more than what you can field in a typical Fire Emblem map, what would I do with my NPC plans? ... Just force twice the amount of effort onto me. XD

Logistically speaking, in-game, if we wanted Marwood to get away without the help of our Grado units (under the pretense that they would expose his cover of taking the Fire Emblem with him), then that would be a reason the party would split up - our obvious Grado units (i.e. Kalte and Griswal) would fight our way out the front, while the Renais units (Marwood and Narina) and some units of devious alignment (Habit, maybe Archibald) would sneak out the back.
