The map above shows the first mission in the Stronghold campaign. Throughout its course you will face you brethren and will have to capture two enemy cities. Additionally, there will be several side quests for you to complete. Locations relevant to all available quests as well as enemy cities and artifact chests have been marked on the map. To learn the details, read the quest descriptions located below.

Lines in the Sand - main quest

The quest begins automatically after the intro to the first campaign mission of the Stronghold. Your main objective is to defeat Jengo. He can be found, together with his army, in the city of Kulazimisha (M19,7). Before you challenge him, try to capture a good amount of structures on the map, complete the side quests, and conquer the second enemy city - Kuaminifu (M19,6). Attack Jengo only after gathering sufficient forces.

As a reward, you will receive 4000 experience points, +1 to Attack and an artifact called Pirate Crossbow, which adds +1 to base damage of all allied ranged units.

Funeral Rites - sidequest

Look for creatures with a box over their heads. In most cases, this means that they have a side quest for you.

This quest can be given to you by a group of orcs (M19,2) located North from your first city. To gain their acceptance you need to carry out a funeral rite. To do this, first, you need to gather the necessary resources: 10 wood, 15 ore, and 2000 gold. Everything can be found in the area surrounding your city. You just need to take a walk and gather them.

After you gather the resources, go to the Burial Mound (M19,3). Click on the pyre and the ritual will be carried out automatically. As your reward, you will receive +3 to Morale as well as Bone Spaulders that add +2 to Defense. Additionally, you will be able to recruit 20 Brutes (M19,2).

Buried Treasure - main quest

The quest begins when you find one of the three obelisks (M19,4) and click it. Your task is to find the remaining ones and thus complete a treasure map, which in turn, will allow you to locate the Tear of Asha. All three obelisks have been marked on our map with the same number (M19,4).

After you visit all three obelisks, you will receive 1000 experience points and Malathua's Cleaver, which offers a bonus of +6 to Power, +6 to Defense and +2 to Bloodrage.

Since you've gathered all the pieces of the map, you can now go get your Tear of Asha. It is located in the north-eastern part of the location (M19,9). Just remember to stand exactly on the spot marked on the map and use the Reveal Treasure spell.

Path of Mirage - sidequest

If you've been observant, you may have noticed that a new oasis has appeared a bit more to the South (M19,10). Unfortunately, that one turns out to be a mirage as well. Third subsequent place will appear North-West from your current location, at (M19,11).

The third oasis is the real one, and you will be transported to another location. The quest will be completed and you will receive 1000 experience points. Simultaneously, the side quest Piercing Claws begin.

Piercing Claws - sidequest

The quest begins after you have completed Path of Mirage and your hero was teleported to some other location. Your task is to capture the Behemoth Dwelling (M19,12). The building is guarded by 5 Behemoths. As soon as you capture it, the quest will be completed and you will receive +2 to Attack.

Handover of Power - main quest

Before the duel, don't forget to add the creatures to your army.
