Beachhead

### Valkenheim Weather

There was once a grand fortress of solitude and respite. Built into the mountain with structures that consume the landscape, it remains a picturesque view from afar.

Invaders can only arrive by boat on the banks of this fortress making it an extremely defensible position, a desirable stronghold for any army hoping to gain the upper hand in battle.

## Overview

The sea fort is built around the bailey leading to the gate with the stronghold inside holding the defending forces. However, bombardment has damaged the walls and created debris that can serve as ramps up to parts of the wall, the Armory and Ballista, that lines the bailey. Between these two are various pathways that can be taken, from walking through the Bailey to walking atop the walls over the bridge that goes over the Gates.

The Ballista is located near the boats where the invaders have landed. Located on the wall, there is a passageway under from the bailey that players can take, at the risk that an enemy player may jump down to strike them down. On the otherhand, the Armory is located entirely under the walls, but has Spike Hazards inside. Both objective feature a means to walk down to the bailey through short ledges, or through a slope or ladder.

In Dominion, the fortress is under siege. Attacking ships come crashing onto the shore, soldiers leaping off. The defenders see these ships and begin to close the gates as archers try to provide cover fire. Ships behind them carrying catapults open fire, the flaming rocks impacting the top of the gate, damaging it and causing it to fall open. Left with no other choice the defending forces rush out to meet the invading force.

## Trivia

* During the opening cinematic for the attackers, a soldier disembarking from the boat will be hit by an arrow while performing the Wilhelm scream.

Aragon

The "Aragon" gear style is one of the epic weapon sets for the Warden class for the Knights Faction in For Honor, released during Season 2.

## Notes

* The name is derived from Aragon, a region in Spain, which was an independent kingdom, up until the marriage of King Ferdinand II of Aragon to Queen Isabella I of Castile and the formation of Spain. At its height in the 15th century, Aragon ruled the present day region of Aragon as well as the Eastern Iberian Coast, Sardinia, and Sicily, and it held the Kingdom of Naples in a personal union, which in turn ruled the southern half of the Italian Peninsula.
* The Crystalline Chill weapon set from the Frost Wind Festival event uses a blade similar to that of the Aragon set.

Ayu

* Face
* Helmet

### Affiliation

**Ayu** (jp: あゆ 亜由) is a character that appears in For Honor's single player campaign.

## Overview

A proud Daimyo and an old friend of The Orochi, Ayu helped break him/her out of the prison to help drive off the Viking raiders from the city. However, during the Blackstone Legion's raid that assassinated the Dawn Empire's emperor, she was captured and brought before Apollyon along with the other Daimyo. When Seijuro was the first Daimyo to claim the mantle as Emperor, Ayu and the other Daimyo were left in the swamps to fight each other. Ayu knew this would lead to civil war so she took out the other Daimyo before going after Seijuro. The Orochi bested Seijuro in a duel so she took the throne as Empress and had Seijuro become one of her commanders. She helped lead the charge against Apollyon's fortress.

## Personality

Strong, proud, and with good reason to be, Ayu was dedicated to her people while still aspiring to become more. After killing the other Daimyo, she refused to kill their followers, knowing she had to unite them to prevent a civil war.

## Trivia

* Ayu's helmet has two ornaments on it during the Campaign. This was likely because the developers chose to change the ornament halfway through but forgot to do it during one mission.
	+ During the mission Duty, Ayu's helmet is adorned with the Descending Dragon ornament.
	+ In the closing cut-scene of Duty and from there on, her helmet possesses a butterfly ornament.
	+ Another oversight during cut-scenes, Ayu is seen with the default Tsubame Nodachi. Meanwhile, in-game she has the Sasaki set.

* In the Japanese version of For Honor, her clan members refer to her with the honorific "-sama" (様; connotation: "lord" or "great mistress"), further emphasizing her position as a respectful leader.

Ademar

## Overview

Ademar was Holden Cross's second in command first seen during the siege of Westhold in the first mission of The Knights campaign, Warlords and Cowards. When Hervis Daubeny refused to duel Cross, Cross suggested that he fight Ademar as his second instead. Daubeny selected The Warden as his second for the duel, prompting a duel between the two.

The Warden acknowledges Ademar's skills in combat, thinking that he might have been a proper Warden before joining the Blackstone Legion. However, he was still defeated and killed by The Warden.

He wears the Loran Helm, Arcturus Chest and Arms, and uses the Magnus set. The latest reputation you need to be is Rep 25.

## Personality

Nothing is really known about Ademar, as he only speaks during the beginning of the mission when he relays Cross's orders to the soldiers to siege the fortress. It can be presumed that he is loyal to Cross, as Cross has him as a second.

## Boss Battle Tips and Tricks

As Ademar is the first boss you will face in the campaign, the fight is relatively straightforward. He behaves as an average Warden with focus on using his top heavy. Block or parry, then attack him with light sides, together with shoulder bashes will result in a quick victory. Be careful not to use all of your stamina as he will become more aggressive, making attempts to throw you down.

Ayu's House

### Banner

**Ayu's House**, also known as **The Chosen**, is one of the more prominent Daimyo houses.

## Overview

Ayu's House was a once disgraced house that was exiled by the Emperor.

Members of this particular house were close friends with The Orochi.

During the Great Raid, they would free their old friend before repelling the Vikings from Koto. After Apollyon assassinated the Emperor, Ayu would be abandoned in the swamps, in an inescapable brawl against three other Daimyo vying for the throne. After defeating the three, she would unite their houses under her banner. The final house she would absorb would be Seijuro's House. With that, her house became the dominant house and Ayu was crowned Empress.

With the Dawn Empire under her control, Ayu would lead an assault on The Blackstone Fortress alongside the Iron Legion.

The **Asbetos** set and its alternate variant are armor sets for the Warmonger hero. The normal Asbetos set is heroic, while the alternate variant is common.

## Notes

* Asbetos is one of the Daemones Ceramici, known as the Charrer.

The Asbetos Alternate chest and arms have spikes on edges of the armor plates; for the normal Asbetos chest and arms, these spikes are gone.

\*Star Weapon
Arrow Launcher

## Overview

Arrow launchers are a type of stationary multi-missile launcher that fires volleys of arrows at its target. Arrows are placed in pipes before the launcher is aimed at its target. When fired, several dozen arrows are launched in the span of a second.

Arrow launchers can be seen on several singleplayer maps and are responsible for the volleys of arrows fired at the player. It can also be assumed that when the Arrow Storm or Arrow Volley feat is used, it is an arrow launcher firing the arrows.

## Difference From Archers

Like Archers, the launchers fire flaming arrows. However, archers fire individually resulting in continuous pelting whereas launchers fire volleys of arrows intermittently. Archer arrows tend to be aimed right at the target whereas launcher arrows are fired in arcs, resulting in a longer duration between the launching of the arrow and the impact. The player will have next to no reaction being shot by an archer while getting hit by an arrow launcher's volley will cause the player to stagger. Also, there is no indication of where an archer is aiming. A red mark on the ground will appear indicating where a launcher is aiming at.

## Trivia

* The arrow launchers bear a strong resemblance in both appearance and function to hwacha, Korean multi-arrow launchers. The primary difference is that hwacha use black powder to launch their arrows while these launchers appear to use a torsion system similar to that of a ballista.

Bear Claw Clan

## Overview

The Bear Claw clan was one of the more violent clans, led by the warmongering Siv. They occupied Skällaborg, decorating the path to their fort with the severed heads of their enemies.

After the destruction of Svengård, the Bear Claws starved like all the other Vikings.

After escaping prison, Ragnar would take refuge in Grön. He would lead several of its members to begin raiding each other and hoarding food. After Ragnar's death, the Vikings that followed pledged their allegiance to the Warborn.

The Warborn would go on to unite the other Viking clans until only the Bear Claw remained. The Warborn would absorb the Bear Claws and free their prisoners.

Ashfeld Moor

**Ashfeld Moor** is a location in Ashfeld.

## Overview

Ashfeld Moor encompassed a large section of the northeastern border of Ashfeld and was comprised primarily of mountains and forests. The wilderness was used by the Blackstone Legion to carry out capital punishments ranging from hangings to leaving prisoners to die locked inside cages.

The land is also dotted with ruins of structures either abandoned or destroyed from previous conflicts. Some of these structures are being reused while others are left to crumble.

Ashfeld Moor was the site of a Knight outpost near Valkenheim, acting as a first line of defense against Viking attacks on Ashfeld. The outpost was originally controlled by the Iron Legion; however, its defenders deserted their posts and the fort fell into Viking hands. Upon learning of this, the Warden and Stone of the Blackstone Legion cleared the outpost of Vikings and found the deserting Iron Legion knights in nearby ruins, destroying them after Apollyon arrived with Blackstone reinforcements. After the battle, the outpost came under Blackstone control.
Aeternitas Imperii

The top and bottom of the shaft come with a gold diagonal-crossing engraving while the center of the shaft has a gray and turquoise swirl. The bottom decorative piece is similar to an iron spearhead with a swirl handguard. The blades of the trident have a unique gold frame that has an oval ruby gem centerpiece framed with two turquoise rings. Around the gem have two gold female figures with gold wings that spread to the left and right blade. The blades themselves are steel. The left and Right blade are symmetrical and both curve outward from the center blade as it reaches the tip while the center blade stays straight. The center blade starts off with a gold flower-like bloom with each pedal a turquoise color. The Center blade is the same as the decorative piece of the bottom of the shaft with a spearhead like an appearance with a gold spike going halfway down the middle of the blade.

The shield is almost a kite shield shape that is entirely made of gold on the front side while the backside is made of wood beside the handle which is made of gold. The shield itself has the exact same design as the head of the trident's frame. The shield is completely symmetrical with an oval ruby center-piece, turquoise around the ruby, same flower bloom underneath with turquoise coloring, and the same female figures with wings that expand all on top of the shield and around to the bottom.
