Conquest

Conquest Mode defines the starting state of the gameworld. It is a vital part of character creation and sets the stage for the game's story, defining the fate of many settlements, their relations with each other and you, available quests, and so on and so forth.
==Description==
During the Conquest you will decide your character's actions during Kyros' invasion of the Tiers, shaping the world through which you will adventure over the course of the game. Each choice you make affects your character and how major factions of the Tiers respond to you. So choose wisely.
==Flow of Conquest Mode==
The Conquest mode follows a branching path, allowing you to choose between combat and governance assignments. Each year, you can choose one assignment to focus on (for a total of three) and make decisions for. Each assignment will also feature three minor decisions along two paths (typically open combat and subterfuge), with a major one deciding the fate of the area. 
Ultimately, you will wind up casting one of Kyros' Edicts.

Stage I	Stage II 	Stage III
{| 	Gates of Judgement	Gates of Judgement
{| 	 	The armies of Kyros took the battle to the Gates of Judgment - trumpeting the opening call of the Conquest of the Tiers. The two armies brought their distinctive sense of order and chaos to the assault. You went to battle alongside the army whose approach best suited your strengths.

===Apex===
Stage I	Stage II 	Stage III
{| 	The Battle of Edgering Pass	The Battle of Edgering Pass
{| 	 	The Disfavored sent their most destructive ally to crush Edgering Fort. Cairn, Archon of Stone, buried the stronghold under an avalanche triggered from the surrounding mountains. The Scarlet Chorus were promised captured enemies for recruitment, yet none survived the onslaught. The Chorus demanded compensation.
===Lethian's Crossing===
Stage I	Stage II 	Stage III
{| 	The Iron Must Flow	The Iron Must Flow
{| 	x150px 	Kyros' smith-mages worked day and night to create weapons. No one faulted their dedication, yet production was low. The plans that came to light proved divisive to the Disfavored and Scarlet Chorus. On one hand, any additional manpower was needed for fighters, not forges. On the other hand, the celebrated weaponry of Kyros' armies needed to be fiercely guarded. You found a clever solution to improve production of iron weapons and armor.
==430 TR==
===Azure===
Stage I	Stage II 	Stage III
{| 	The Destruction of Azure	The Destruction of Azure
{| 	x150px 	Cairn, the Archon of Stone, carved a deadly path through Azure, using his powers to blight the land. The Scarlet Chorus complained that his tactics left no farmland to feed the growing army. Since Cairn marched with the Disfavored, the Scarlet Chorus held the legion responsible for the destruction and lost harvests.
===Vellum Citadel===
Stage I	Stage II	Stage III
{| 	
Chain of Command	
Chain of Command
{| 	x150px 	A detachment of Kyros' army marched on the Vellum Citadel expecting an orderly surrender. As they neared the main gates, a blast of arcane energy struck the commanders dead. Suddenly the highest ranking officer alive, Kyros' forces looked to you for the next steps. The call weighed on your mind, as it had an immediate influence on soldier losses.
===Stalwart===
Stage I	Stage II 	Stage III
{| 	Marching on Empty	Marching on Empty
{| 	x150px 	The Stalwart defenders burned their crops as they retreated, leaving the invaders little to forage. Starving, the Scarlet Chorus mob raided from the Disfavored's well-maintained supply lines, incurring casualties on both sides.
