Storyline

Largo and Hugo land on the island in search of information about Marco, having heard that he crossed the island in his journey south. Local revolutionary Renaldo tells them that Marco worked with him seasons ago, but he would only tell more if the brothers help him overthrow Baron Lothar. After the brothers do so, Renaldo tells them that he gave Marco the Baron's best men for Marco's private army to weaken Lothar's supporters, but Marco has since went to Greystone Port.

The brothers may visit Farrow again for information, troops, and training. If the brothers have visited The Ivory Tower, a messenger falcon would arrive once to announce that the tower is being attacked by orcs and offering 200 gold for anyone willing to help. If the brothers have begun planning to attack Fort Liberty, they can ask Renaldo to join them. Renaldo would agree, unless the brothers have already secured the Black Blade's support for the attack.

Gameplay

The map is a reversed-"C"-shaped island with Renaldo's keeps and villages on the southern end of the island while Lothar's castle is on the opposite end. There are multiple keeps, castles, and villages spread on the way between the castles as well.

Battle

Largo and Hugo start near Renaldo's keep and and can recruit Spearman, Bowman, and Cavalryman in addition to recalling. Both player sides are each given one loyal Horseman and one loyal Cavalryman as well. Both Renaldo and Lothar's sides recruit Horseman, Bowman, Spearman, Heavy Infantryman, Cavalryman, and Fencer. Renaldo starts with 75 gold while Lothar starts with 200. Along the way, there are also a couple of Lieutenants from Lothar's side to fight as well.

The turn limit for winning the scenario is 40 turns. The player must defeat Lothar under the time limit and then step on his keep to finish the scenario. Death of Renaldo results in a scenario loss.

Post-battle

Largo and Hugo start near Renaldo's keep and still can recruit Spearman, Bowman, and Cavalryman in addition to recalling. The first time this island is visited post-battle (after the player visits the Ivory Tower) has a falcon showing up at the start to announce the quest to be done for when the player goes to the tower again.

The following NPCs can be talked to (all of which are not far from the keep):

• Renaldo, who can add the location of the Royal Palace if the player asks where Marco is, and can be offered to join the final battle in Fort Liberty if the player has reached that point and hasn't agreed to work with Deliana instead.
• Quentin, who can train a leader or a follower the sidestep ability for 70 gold.
• Rodgers, who can reveal where Hilldon is following his escape from Hideout.

There is also a dragoon statue near Renaldo's keep that can be stolen to be used as a figurehead, but only if it's night or the player has the invisible ability.
