Blazing Beacon

Marquis Serkis summons Kliff to discuss the war in Calphade. Ride to the front and help stabilize the battlefield with Lanford and Oongka’s forces.

Below the Banners and Turning Tides

Work through defense lines, fire support, and counterattacks. Many objectives are not hard individually, but they chain together across active combat zones.

The Unyielding Shields

Join the assault on Calphade Castle, reunite with Oongka, and pursue Cassius Morten. Lighting the beacon after the fight signals a major victory and sets up the decision to retake Pailune.

Quick Tips

  • Carry extra healing because warfront objectives chain together.
  • Clear ranged enemies before helping allies.
  • Watch for siege hazards and fire support markers.
