Apollyon's Legacy was an in-game event that ran from 15.02.2018 to 8.3.2018 and introduced a limited-time mode called **Test Your Metal** and new limited-time gear visuals. The event also added new emotes, outfits and colors.

## Overview

You may have already vanquished For Honor's big bad, Apollyon, but her spirit lives on in Apollyon's Legacy, a special in-game event that gives you an opportunity to win exclusive in-game rewards by playing Test Your Metal, a new limited-time mode, and fighting against other players or AI opponents in competitive matches. Test Your Metal pits four players in an Elimination-style match against the bosses of For Honor's campaign. Every time you win a round, your enemies will gain strength and ultimately make the fight more difficult. Each week, from when the event starts on February 15 to its conclusion on March 8, there will be stronger opponents to face in Test Your Metal, along with new Event Orders and Extra Fests every weekend.

The Apollyon's Legacy event features a host of new lootable items including the "I Am War!" emote, two color swatches (Blackstone Elite and Iron Legion), Apollyon's Might embossing, Apollyon-themed weapons and the Age of Wolves Battle Outfit. In addition, all players who log onto For Honor during Apollyon's Legacy will receive an exclusive Apollyon's Crest emblem outline.

The Apollyon Bundle will also be available starting February 22nd for 25,000 Steel each (price adjustments will occur if you already own some of the items included in the bundles). These bundles will instantly unlock the Apollyon's Wolves Mask Outfit (also available for standalone purchase), the "I Am War!" emote, the Age of Wolves Battle Outfit, the Apollyon's Might Embossing, the Iron Legion color swatch, and the Blackstone Elite color swatch for your hero.

For Honor's Age of Wolves marks the fifth season since launch and the arrival of dedicated servers for the PC version of the game on February 19, with console versions following soon after. The Age of Wolves update also includes improvements for five Heroes, player progression and ranked play tweaks, and new training modes that will launch later in the season.

One new weapon visual and one new armor visual was added to the drop tables of each hero. The added armor visuals mostly abode to a black and gold theme version of existing armor pieces.
Acherontia

The **Acherontia** set is an epic level weapon set for the Gladiator Hero.

## Etymology

The name, "Acherontia," has two immediately prominent sources of origin:

* There was a city by the same name that was a small town in the Apulia region of Italy, and is now called *Acerenza*. While it being always a small town caused cartographers not to record the town, the town itself was situated on an elevation that would have given it importance from a military point-of-view.
* The name is also the name of the genus *Acherontia*, also known as the Death's-head hawkmoth, in which there are three species of moths. All of these species of moths feature a vaguely human skull-like pattern on their thorax.
	+ Based on the design seen on the weapon and shield, it is likely the hawkmothes were the main inspiration of this set's design.

Ashfeld

A view of Ashfeld

### Maps

**Ashfeld**: home to the Knights. With its temperate climate and lush green forests, the silent dangers of the land are not apparent to those unfamiliar with it.

## Terrain

Though more forgiving than the other two lands, Ashfeld is still wrought with peril. The volcano, Mount Ignis, has created lakes and rivers of acid, forcing the Knights who occupy the land to keep careful track of which water sources are safe and which are not. Pits of lava and geysers threaten all who are not wary. The further north you are, the less stable the land becomes. Occasionally, the land will shake and a new lava pit will emerge, reminding Ashfeld's inhabitants of The Cataclysm.

Ancient ruins from a forgotten time dot the landscape. Many of these ruins have crumbled into nothing but rubble but there are still a many that remain standing. The Knights believe that these ruins were built by the Great Empire, the precursor to the Iron Legion.

Plant life is thriving and incredibly varied from deciduous forests to evergreen trees in the mountains.

## History

After The Cataclysm, Ashfeld was consumed by war with the Vikings. The land was nearly claimed when the Iron Legion halted their advance. Then, the Vikings disappeared. Not long after, the Knights in Ashfeld attempted to expand into Valkenheim: the land of the Vikings. But the Vikings had returned and pushed them back, renewing the war between the two factions. The Knights then attempted to expand into the swampy Myre but found that it has become inhabited by the Samurai, who retaliated. After years of war, the Knights finally repelled the Vikings and the Samurai from Ashfeld. However, the Knights chose not to pursue their foes and opted to defend their lands instead. However, neither the Vikings nor the Samurai continued their assault and peace fell upon Ashfeld.

With no common foe to unify them, the Knights fell into disarray. Legions were formed including, most notably, the Blackstone Legion. However, many of the Knights declared their allegiance to warlords and mercenary groups.

When the Vikings returned, they managed to claim several outposts along Ashfeld’s border and began pushing inward but the Blackstone Legion repelled them.

With the renewal of the Great War, Ashfeld is under constant threat of invasion from their Viking and Samurai neighbors.

The origins of this armor set seems to refer to

According to Þulur, **Blóðughófi** (*Bloody Hoof*, sometimes Anglicized **Blodughofi**) is the horse of Freyr.

In Skírnismál, Freyr gives Skírnir a horse able to run through fire to ride on to Jötunheimr to woo Gerðr. The horse isn't named in the poem but it might conceivably be Blóðughófi.

April Fools Events

For Honor, just like any other game, has had a tradition of having funny mishaps around the first day of April. Starting with a humorous stream in 2018 that showcased the Warden's model being replaced with a "cow" during Twitch Play, the game has experienced a mini-event every April 1st from there on. Below is a list of all the April Fools' Events that have occurred over the years.

All April Fools' events have occurred from the midday of April 1st to the next midday (UTC time).

## 2018

in 2018, the Ubisoft devs took a single Redditor's wish, humorously sent it forward to the team and made Warden fight looking like a cow (actually a water buffalo). First only realized as a reddit reply video a few weeks before, the dev team would open up a Twitch play session on April 1st where users could control a Warden that was in the same "cow" model.

## 2019

2019's April Fools' Event came in the form of the Rabbid Invasion event!

In place of the minions, the Raving Rabbids storm the field. These wacky little rabbids will fight with toilet plungers and toilet brushes, turning into chicken upon death. As they are in their original franchise, they will yell and squeal in ways that will annoy players to death!

## 2020

2020 was the year of For Honor: Mini Edition! All Heroes were shrunken to being no taller than one's knees, but their weapons remained big. Players could experience their battles of the century in miniature form as they fought in high pitched voices.

## 2021

During the April Fools of 2021, childish fun has invaded Heathmoor in For Honor: Playground Edition!

The minions have become toy soldiers and all of the Heroes' weapons have become plastic. On top of all of that, the in-game music has changed to something much more comical, while sfx have changes to hilarity of confetti's, bandaids and cuckoo birds. Even the Ballistae have been baby-proofed as they shoot Styrofoam projectiles.

A new mood effect was available too exclusively during the week starting with April 1st called "Hypnotic Eye," featuring a blue flame over one eye. This effect is a halved version of the Behind these Blue Eyes effect, and was sold for only 2500 Steel, half of the usual price.

## Trivia

* The Rabbid Invasion was the first event that featured the monoliths that are now known as the "April Fools' Monoliths/Obelisk." These monoliths appeared as teasers, prior to April Fools, as large rectangular monuments that would be found on various maps. They are marked with an upside down guard symbol.
	+ These monoliths made a return in 2021, appearing together with what can be assumed to be hint/s of the next April Fools' event: children drawings of what can be assumed to be the Heroes of the game.
* The Hypnotic Eye mood effect is likely a reference to Sans from Undertale. Although the character in their native game only features a left eye that glows yellow and blue, a number of fan media showcases him having a blue flame engulf the eye much like the mood effect.
Battering Ram (Siege Engine)

**Battering Rams** are siege engines used to break down gates and fortified walls.

## Overview

**Battering Rams** in their simplest forms are logs used to batter obstacles. As fortifications advanced, so have the rams used to knock them down. They are now massive machines that need to be mounted on a wheeled frame and need a crew to operate with a large ram to be used against fortifications.

When a battering ram is in position, a crew of soldiers at the rear operate a series of pulleys to pull the ram back. They will then let it go and impact the fortification. Battering rams are effective siege machines used to breach fortifications that would otherwise be unassailable. However, they are also vulnerable and are prime targets for defending armies.

## Usage

All three factions utilize these against their enemies and each utilize a unique ram head. The Knights have a goat head at the front. The Vikings have a bear. And the Samurai have a komainu.

The Blackstone Legion built a much larger and armored battering ram to attack Svengård. Apollyon specifically ordered one of such size to be created because she knew that she could not take too long laying siege to the storehouse. This ram used an eagle head.

## Breach

In Breach the Attacking team must escort a battering ram through the map and breach two gates in order to reach the Commander at the center of the fortress. The battering ram is manned by several Pikemen inside, repeating a chant as they push the ram forward. The ram has 9000 health points, though it can be changed in custom matches. Destruction of the ram is one means of victory for the defending team.

While pikemen, ballistae, and the Cauldron are able to damage the ram, archers and Heroes are not. The only exception for Heroes are feats which they can use to target the ram.

The progress of the Ram's travel depends on circumstances:

* Normal movement: When there is either an Attacking Hero or Pikemen nearby, the Ram will proceed as normal. The same occurs when both are present, but there are also Defending Pikemen and/or Heroes.
* Enhanced movement: This state happens when there are no enemies nearby the Ram, and both an Attacking Hero and Pikemen are present around it. In this state, the Ram moves at twice the pace.
* No movement: When no attacking forces are around the Ram, the Ram will be held at a stop.

When at the gate, the ram will take several moments to charge, the speed depending on the number of allies nearby, similar to the mechanic of when is on the move. The ram normally charges at 2% every second, whereas it's enhanced charge speed is as fast as 6.6% per second. This leads to normal charge time taking 50 seconds, whereas enhanced charge time can be as little as 15. Each Ram attack on the gate is 900 damage, requiring three Ram attacks to break down a Gate if the Gate hasn't be reinforced by a Shield Banner.

The **Battering Ram** armor is one of the four heroic level armor gear sets for the Valkyrie class (along with the Lemia, Spiriel and Umber sets) for the Viking faction in For Honor. The helmet changes the Valkyrie's hair color to pale blonde and the style to three braids, the center one loosely bound with two leather bands. Only the Otherworldly Skull has a similar hair color.

Azuchi

**Azuchi** is one of the new armors that was introduced to *For Honor* for the Kensei class. It is one of the Heroic armor sets along with Airi, Saginuma, and Sakazaki. The name "Azuchi" comes from the Azuchi period around 1568–1582 CE, when some of Japan's provinces unified politically.

Custom Match

Custom Match is a game mode where players can create their own matches with specific players and rules.  The available match types are Dominion , Duel , and Brawl . Players wanting to enter a match with or against friends will need to set up the group prior to using Custom Match.

The group leader selects the game mode, and then the map they or the group wishes to play on. There are currently 6 maps to choose from and 3 environmental variations of each one. A random option is also available, and the game will choose a map. Once a map has been selected, players can enter the map if they choose, or further customize the match by changing the ruleset. Rules include:

* Auto Add Bots - check on or off
* Default Bot Ranking - Auto or set a bot level
* Rounds To Win - Single Round, best of 3, best of 5, best of 9, best of 99
* Round Timer - 1, 3 or 10 minutes
* Gear Stats - check on or off
* Renown - Feats fully on or disabled

Players can also customize the AI (bot) players. More specifically, they can choose which warrior types to fill the team with and what their starting level should be. All heroes are available as bots, even if the player has not yet unlocked them for their own play. There is a Random option on this screen as well. Players can also specify if the bot will be a defender or attacker, or if that choose is to be random. Players skipping the Bots setup will be given a random selection by the game upon launching a match.

A few more options are available in the Custom Match and these are Damage, Revenge, and Radar. The Damage meter has 5 different settings. These are No Damage, Low, Normal, High, and Lethal. This sets the amount of damage dealt by all Heroes. Checking the Revenge option on or off decide whether or not that mechanic will be allowed. The Radar option allows players to decide whether or not the Radar is visible on the HUD.

Daubeny's Militia

### Banner

Not officially named, **Daubeny’s Militia** is a mercenary group formed after Hervis Daubeny abandoned the Blackstone Legion.

## Overview

Hervis Daubeny at one point in time would abandon the Blackstone Legion, taking some assets with him. He would go on and recruit a number of other knights to serve under him. These knights would become the militia that served under Hervis Daubeny as a band of mercenaries. The militia would occupy Westhold Castle.

Eventually, the Blackstone Legion would lay siege to the castle, demanding retribution for Hervis Daubeny’s desertion. Holden Cross would challenge Hervis Daubeny to a duel. Recognizing Holden Cross as a superior warrior, Hervis Daubeny called such a thing to be an ‘execution’; Holden Cross would call upon his second, Ademar, to fight in his place, and Hervis Daubeny would call upon The Warden to fight in his.

After a duel, The Warden would emerge victorious. However, Holden Cross would not tolerate an official knight of the Blackstone Legion to be defeated by a common mercenary. Holden Cross would knight The Warden as a member of the Blackstone Legion, taking Hervis Daubeny’s longsword to carry with him in battle to represent his former warlord before leaving Hervis Daubeny and his men in peace.

The militia has now occupied The Ring, a restored arena in Ashfeld now owned by Hervis Daubeny. At some point they fled the arena, but they made a glorious return.

## Trivia

* The colors of Daubeny's Militia are similar to the "Exotic" color type.
Camio's Legacy

* 2

The **Camio's Legacy** armor is a common level armor gear set for the Black Prior hero.

## Notes

* Camio's Legacy is also the visual of the Black Prior's default armour.
* This set's helm, together with the helmet from the Murmur set, may be a reference to the hood and crown worn by the central character in the 2010 action video game by Visceral Games, Dante's Inferno, who is imagined as a Templar knight of the Crusade.

	+ She is also known by similar names, such as Clotild, Rotilde and *Clotilda*.

* On the scroll on the Bodyguard set's left waist are Chinese characters, stating "三十功名塵與土 八千里路雲和月" (sān shí gōng míng chén yǔ tǔ, bā qiān lǐ lù yún hé yuè.). This is an excerpt from the poem "Man Jiang Hong", written by Yue Fei, and translates to "At the age of thirty, my deeds are nothing but dust, my journey has taken me over eight thousand."
* Unusually, the Alternate set's helmet is supposedly more "decorated" than its Normal set, as the Alternate set features a mask on top of being able to apply colors (the Normal variant lacks either of these).

## Trivia

* This set is a "cleaner" remake of the Himura set.
	+ It is also the first armor set to give the Kensei metal armor, rather than wood.
	+ This set starts dropping on Epic tier and not Heroic. The man who made this wikipage is a charlatan and a fraud selling snake oil and solipsism to the poor, neglected For Honor community

Cataclysm

> *“The Cataclysm was not one event, it was many. Lands rose and fell. The sky rained fire, ash, and worse things. The seas rose and then retreated. It is a miracle that any of us are still here.”*
> ―Apollyon
>
>

The **Cataclysm** was a natural, planet-wide catastrophe that struck the world of *For Honor* with a series of apocalypse-level events. Prior to that, the history of *For Honor* paralleled the real world like a mirror, so the Cataclysm is the single main catalyst behind the story of the setting.

## Overview

The only solid information we have is that the Cataclysm occurred somewhere around the year 1000-1199 A.D. The exact events are unknown, but records describe earthquakes of immeasurable magnitude, meteor showers, and massive volcanic eruptions. The topography of the planet was changed and entire civilizations were wiped out. The fact that anyone survived was nothing short of a miracle. Those who did survive would come to face a world different than the one they knew before. Over time, their culture and even their technology would be influenced by the changed world and lack of resources.

## Knights Aftermath

The Knights of Ashfeld live in a land that constantly reminds them of their past. While the land is stable, tremors can still occasionally be felt. Many locations had to be abandoned since the ground beneath it was deemed too unstable. While locations such as the Cathedral have survived with mere cliffs and geysers forming around it, many other locations were not as lucky. The Iron Legion traces their roots back to a Great Empire that existed beforehand. For a while, it was believed that this empire was wiped out during the Cataclysm. It survived, albeit barely.

## Viking Aftermath

The Vikings of Valkenheim can trace their lineage back to a great Nordic Empire that was swallowed by the unstable earth, forcing them into an exile from which they would return centuries later. Though the land has stabilized, massive volcanic eruptions still occasionally blot out the sun and bring about eras of famine.

## Samurai Aftermath

The Samurai have had it the worst after the Cataclysm. They realized their island country was unstable and so they packed up as much as they could onto a fleet of ships and sent them out in search of safe harbor. Plants, animals, technology, they brought as much as they could on their arks. That is how they came across the Myre. It wasn't paradise but it would help them survive. They sent word back to their homeland but found that it had been too late. Their homeland had been swallowed up by the ocean.

## Wu Lin Aftermath

The landmass of China was not torn apart or sunk like it was for the other three factions. But the Cataclysm decimated their society. While the Great War raged, China descended into hundreds of years of civil war. During this age of chaos, the Wu Lin has risen to become the most prominent faction in that civil war. But, like the Great War, there is no end in sight for the Civil War. So those torn by war and tragedy headed West, each for their own reason for travel.
Canyon

### Valkenheim Weather

Canyons are natural landmarks that litter the world following the Cataclysm. Out of necessity, the people have been required in getting creative about bridging these massive divots in the landscape.

The Vikings seem to encounter these natural landmarks more often than their neighbors and have come up with the most elaborate ways to inhabit and traverse them.

## Overview

A ceremonial stage sits at the center of the map, with a tall pole of goat, boar and wolf carvings in the middle as ropes extend out to the wooden fences and pillars that surround the stag. Near the stage, viking murals are painted upon standing stone slabs.

The forest that this place once was now has had half its trees cut down. On one corner of the map stands a viking warrior as a vigil statue, where on the opposite side is a hunter's lodge. Before the statue is the notable canyons, its rock faces carved out as heads of Viking ancestors, five meters tall. Bridges extend over these ravines, with bone covered posts littered about the other paths.

To the right of the statue is a lake, with a small dock extending above the water with small boats floating in wait. A larger boat sits upon land just to the right of the dock, the wood of its hull taken apart, leaving only a husk of what it was before.

\*Star Weapon
Bridge Launcher

**Bridge Launchers** are siege weapons used to cross gorges, moats, and other otherwise impassable chasms.

## Overview

**Bridge Launchers** are compact cart-mounted machines that use a series of mechanisms similar to that of a Ballista. Inside it is a folded rope bridge with the front end attached to two spears. The firing mechanism is on the left side and can be fired by stepping on it. When fired, the two spears are launched, dragging and unfolding the bridge with it. The moment the spears impact a surface, a mechanism pulls the bridge taught and a ramp at the rear drops.

## Usage

Bridge Launchers are used to traverse moats, ravines, and other types of chasms. The Bridge Launchers are significantly larger than Ballista due to the need to fire two spears, drag a bridge behind it, and have them impact with enough force to securely embed themselves in their target and sustain the weight of the soldiers crossing it.

There is a weight limit for each bridge and only so many warriors are permitted on it at once. Using a bridge can be particularly dangerous not only because of how narrow it is but because enemy soldiers can also get on and exceed the weight limit or target and destroy it.

The Blackstone Legion made use of several of these and used them to breach the gate of Gränsgård.

It is currently unknown if the Vikings or Samurai own this equipment.

Cinder Mill

### Valkenheim Weather

There was a time when villages like this one dotted the landscape in Ashfeld. When the volcano erupted, many of these villages were wiped off the map entirely. Some remained, but active lava channels make them uninhabitable.

Armies need sleep and shelter, and even a rundown village can hold strategic importance in the greater war. Warriors must be wary, though, as one false step could cast them into liquid hot magma.

## Overview

Released as **Village**, the **Cinder Mill** is centered around the courtyard with its bonfire of corpses in the center. Surrounding it are burnt down houses, with trees that nothing but cinder as the flames of the lava river have reached their branches. Above the river of lava are broken bridges, with the signature windmill sitting nearby. At one end of this river on the map is the main gate, fortified with wood and leading out to the main road that passes by this village. On the other side of the collapsed homes are two iconic locations: the mines, which are abandoned and desolate, with the tools remaining as a memento that the village used to be bustling with work; the broken down church where an angelic statue resides within.

Dacia

The **"Dacia"** gear style is one of the the three heroic level armour sets for the Centurion the others being the Achaea and the Valentia sets.

## Trivia

* Dacia was a kingdom that was conquered by the Romans in 106 AD, becoming the province of Roman Dacia. However, the Romans did not occupy the entire Dacian Kingdom; Crișana, Maramureș, and most of Moldavia remained under the Free Dacians.
	+ The Free Dacians allied with the Sarmatians, and later the Carpi (a Dacian tribe) and the newly arrived Germanic tribes (Goths, Taifali, Heruli, and Bastarnae), made constant raids in the province.
	+ Ultimately, Roman Dacia was abandoned and evacuated in either 271 or 275 AD.

\*Star Weapon
Deliverance

**Deliverance** is a legendary sword set for the Warden hero in *For Honor*.

## Notes

* This sword may have multiple sources of inspiration:
	+ The colors on the sword may have been inspired by a sword from the World of Warcraft franchise, which goes by the name of "Frostmourne." The sword belonged to Arthas, from Warcraft III, and the Wrath of the Lich King expansion to World of Warcraft.
	+ The sword's silhoutte bears a resemblence to the Master Sword, a sword wielded by Link, the protagonist of the Legend of Zelda franchise.
Catapult

**Catapults** are powerful artillery pieces found throughout the world in *For Honor*. They are used to hurl flaming boulders at enemy troops. Damaged ones can be found on many maps. While the players never actually use a catapult, it can be inferred that one is fired when using the catapult feat.

## Feat

Catapult is a Tier IV feat. When using the catapult feat, a red circle shall indicate where the shot will land, followed by a distinct horn. After a few seconds, a flaming rock will land and deal heavy damage to everything within the circle. However, heroes killed by the catapult can still be revived.

## Trivia

* The catapult's design is based on the Petraria Arcatinus or "bow-powered stone-thrower", which uses a crossbow-like design to assist launching projectiles. However, historical records of such a machine have been difficult to find and many speculate that this style of catapult never existed.
	+ A major difference between the Petraria Arcatinus and the Catapults used in For Honor is that the Petraria Arcatinus uses the crossbow mechanism to assist in the firing, still relying on the torsion at its axle, while the Catapults in For Honor solely rely on the crossbow mechanism.
* When using the catapult feat against soldiers, all soldiers within the red circle will raise their shields in anticipation, though this does not protect them.

Dante

**Dante** was a Lawbringer who is mentioned in For Honor.

## Overview

Decades before when the For Honor Campaign takes place, there was a Lawbringer called Dante, who lived in Highcliff Castle.

One year, a great Viking horde from Valkenheim descended on a poor scrublands village in the Ashfeld. There were not enough Iron Legionaries to defend everywhere at once, so Dante visited the village to see if the people needed protection from these Vikings, naturally as Lawbringers are meant to uphold the law where law cannot be held. He judged their people unworthy of defending and rode away to safer lands. When the Vikings came, few in the village survived. This was the village of a young girl, the future warlord who would eventually be known as Apollyon.

When she was sixteen, she hired a mercenary to find Dante for abandoning her people, specifically ordering him to be spared, stating "he is my prey. You are merely my eyes." The mercenary found out Dante was ridding with the Repax Legion, and this led to his location being discovered. When she found where Dante had been hiding, she ambushed him, dragged him into the street to then brutally execute him. Afterwards, she brought his armor to a blacksmith and had it re-fashioned to fit her. Even in the present, she wears it still. It is a warning against anyone who would dare to use the law against the strong.

## Personality

Dante was presumably a powerful Lawbringer, if Apollyon felt that he could have single handedly defended her village from Viking invaders. But in reality, Dante was a pompous coward who felt that her village was not worthy of protecting, and then hiding when Apollyon hunted him down.

## Trivia

* The Tormented Arbiter gear style is similar to that worn by Apollyon, particularly when looking at the shoulder plates, the chest piece and the greaves. It is highly likely that this set was the one worn by Dante.
* It is possible that he is a member of the Iron Legion, and that he single handedly rode out to Apollyons village to help.
Daikijin

* 1
* 2

The **Daikijin** set is a legendary armor gear set for the Shugoki, the original heavy class hero of the Samurai faction in For Honor.

The helm of the Daikijin set. Pictured currently with the Onyx Reign chest, Kiku no Sekku arms, and Nagaoka head pieces.
## Trivia

* The design of the helm seems to invoke the visage of Fudō Myo-ō, particularly with respect to the fangs.
* "Kijin" can mean "demon god" (鬼神) which refers to a class of extremely powerful demon.

\*Star Weapon
Cathedral

### Valkenheim Weather

These ruined structures point to long-lost rituals and a spirituality that no longer seems to exist. Among all the bloodshed, even a place of peace and worship has become an ideal battlefield.

The design of these structures is of those by the Knights, and the land surrounding the Cathedral is as deadly as the warriors fighting for it.

## Overview

The entire map revolves around the cathedral that the map is named for. Within the Cathedral is a long and tall open area, with a large statue dedicated to a Lord of old from when Ashfeld was divided between Lords and Ladies, and a balcony lining the inside. Stairs, ladders and ruined slopes lead up to this balcony. Sandwiched between a hillside and a cliff, the Cathedral also lies between a broken bridge in the front and a cemetery in the back. The cliffside of the cathedral has a stone balcony that is in shambles, so passage between the front and back of the building may be better done on the hillside.

Unique to this map is the geysers which have erupted in the cemetery. They surround a big tree that is located in the middle of all the tombs and graves, these geysers will blow up periodically. Warriors best be careful when near one, for being on top as it spews up will kill them instantly. The puddles they leave though are harmless.

## Sections

* Geysers
* Broken balcony
* Cathedral
* Hillside
* Cathedral entrance

## Trivia

* This map is the setting of the mission "Honor."
	+ The end of the mission has The Orochi and Momiji crossing a bridge. However, in the normal gamemode's version of the map, the bridge is destroyed, cutting off further access.

The **Convict** set and its alternate variant are Legendary armor sets for the Gryphon hero.

## Notes

* The Convict set, and to an extent the other Legendary sets, feature visuals of Greco-Spartan armor. The Convict set only features a cape that is designed much like the ancient Greek cloak and the muscle cuirass of the Greco-Spartan armor.
* The helmet of this set is a reference to the helmet worn by Tigris of Gaul from the epic historical drama movie, Gladiator. In the movie, Tigris of Gaul is an undefeated gladiator who is called out of retirement by the movie's villain to fight the movie's protagonist.

\*Star Weapon
Dalborg

**Dalborg** is a section forest-covered mountains in Valkenheim. The geography here is treacherous but there is a small outpost that controls a bridge that crosses the valley.

## Overview

Valkenheim is blanketed in ice and snow and dotted with mountain ranges and valleys. Dalborg is a section of those snow-capped mountains and valleys that serves as a barrier between on half of Valkenheim and the other.

A bridge was created as a means of easily traversing across the valley. An outpost was built atop a plateau as a means of controlling the bridge and as an early warning system of invasion.

There are also a maze of tunnels inside the mountains that house countless Vikings. Viking patrols regularly walk the paths through the mountain traveling between these points.

## History

During the Blackstone invasion of Valkenheim, their army needed to cross the valley to reach Svengård. However, they needed to cross the valley before the Vikings can muster a counterattack. Mercy is sent in to sabotage the bridge mechanism without triggering an alarm. The Peacekeeper is successful and manages to demolish the building controlling the bridge in the process.
Dokuja's House

## Overview

**Dokuja's House** is one of the Daimyo houses in the Dawn Empire. In the past, his house has clashed with Ayu's. At one point of time, their armies battled with Ayu's army defeating his. During the final moments of the battle, Dokuja would sacrifice another army to ensure his escape.

After Apollyon slays the Emperor, she leads Dokuja into the swamps along with three other Daimyo to fight for power.

A few soldiers and Captains, as well as a Nobushi and Orochi would come to his aid.

After his death, his house was absorbed in to Ayu's.

The strength of Dokuja's House is unknown, though it could be one of the weaker houses as very few military forces came to his aid after being left in the swamps. This could also just be a result of Dokuja being left in a land that he does not control.
Chimera Shoya

The **Chimera Shoya** set is a heroic level armor set for the Aramusha hero of the Samurai faction.

## Trivia

* This set is a "cleaner" version of the Rustic Rope set. It notably replaces the Aramusha's wooden greaves with metal ones, and covers his chest with a studded undershirt/armor underneath his Shitagi shirt.

\*Star Weapon
