Campaign

Places and sieges

The cities, strongholds and refuges on the map, the three-mission sieges, and what each place gives the exiles when it falls or joins.

Fortified places

The powers' capitals, cities and keeps are taken by siege. A siege is 3 missions, one stage at a time: the outer works, the walls and the citadel. Every stage must be won. Progress is kept between attempts, so a lost stage can be fought again later. Each stage past the outer works brings more enemies, and every stage brings the power's heaviest unit: a Lucent for the Court, a Bourdon for the Choir. Exiles still standing when a citadel falls earn extra experience.

When a fortified place falls, its effect fires, and every region of that power next to it loses 2 garrison.

Place	Region	Garrison	To take it	What it is, and what taking it gives
Saltcrown Capital, The Glass Court	The Stepping Stones	5	3 missions	The Glass Court's seat. Every crown in the west answers to it. Every Glass Court garrison -2.
The Anvil City, The Glass Court	The Iron Hills	5	3 missions	Where the crowns are forged from the hills' ore. Unlocks Tier III crowns, the first at once, then another every 6 weeks.
Stormlantern City, The Glass Court	The Old Shoulder	4	3 missions	The Court's eyes on the ocean and its signal line inland. Every garrison on the map shows, and counter-attacks come with 1 week's warning.
The Span City, The Glass Court	The Drop	4	3 missions	The Court's cell-works, where salvage is charged. +3 power cells for the rifle on every mission.
Causeway City, The Glass Court	The Burnt Hills	4	3 missions	Where taken exiles are counted and sent to the mines. 3 exiles freed from the pens at once.
The Receiving House Keep, The Glass Court	Canyon of the Long River	5	3 missions	New exiles step out of the Rift into the Court's hands here. A new exile every 2 weeks.
The Deep Chantry Capital, The Brine Choir	The Bottom of the World	5	3 missions	The Choir's heart, where its voice is loudest. Every Brine Choir garrison -2, and no Brine Choir counter-attacks for 6 weeks.
The Singing Mere Stronghold, The Brine Choir	The Salt Deep	4	one mission	Faces Saltcrown across the salt. The only way onto the ridge runs past it. No special effect: it holds the ground.
The White Hollow Stronghold, The Brine Choir	The Sunken Hearth	3	one mission	The Choir's nearest hold to the camp. No special effect: it holds the ground.
The Last Pool Stronghold, The Brine Choir	The Eastern Pans	4	one mission	The Choir's eastern reach. No special effect: it holds the ground.

Strongholds with no siege are taken like any region: win the attack and they are yours.

Refuges

Free exiles hide in a few refuges. A refuge joins the exiles when they take its region, and then sends a new recruit every few weeks. Owl Hollow, near the Anvil, also shortens the Anvil's siege: with it, the walls are skipped and the citadel comes straight after the outer works. A refuge still under a power's hand is fought for in its own village.

Place	Region	Garrison	To take it	What it is, and what taking it gives
Owl Hollow Refuge, The exiles	The Iron Hills	-	-	Free exiles living within sight of the Anvil's smoke. Joins when you take its region: a new exile every 3 weeks. The Anvil's siege needs 1 fewer mission.
High Shelter Refuge, The exiles	The Snow Saddle	-	-	A refuge in the high passes. Joins when you take its region: a new exile every 3 weeks.
The Ledge Refuge, The exiles	The Lion Mountains	-	-	The most distant refuge. Joins when you take its region: a new exile every 3 weeks.
The Camp Camp, The exiles	The Joined Isles	2	-	Home. It can take a few hits. If it falls, the campaign is lost.

Victory

The campaign is won when 2 places have fallen: Saltcrown, the Court's capital, and the Deep Chantry, the Choir's heart.
