Songs of Conquest Guide

Arleon is considered a relatively approachable faction. Its armies combine human knights and the Faey, giving you a way to build consistent early tactics. Starting with The Song of Stoutheart lets you learn the core systems as you follow the story. Rana’s swamp creatures and the Barony of Loth’s undead armies work differently; this guide suggests learning basic army composition and Essence first, then trying them.

The base game has four main campaigns, one for each of its original four factions. DLC stories are treated separately from these four. They are Arleon’s The Song of Stoutheart (protagonist: Cecilia Stoutheart), Rana’s From the Ashes (a protagonist: Rasc), Barony of Loth’s Together for Her (central figure: Baron Aldus of Loth), and Barya’s The Price of Freedom (a protagonist: Bihgli Satherdown).

Beyond the original four — Arleon, Rana, Barya and Barony of Loth — later updates and DLC added Vanir, Roots and Yulan (confirmed in the community database soc.th.gl). This page focuses primarily on the four base-game factions.

The three basic resources are Gold, Wood and Stone. Rare resources include Glimmerweave, Ancient Amber and Celestial Ore (checked against the Fandom Wiki’s Resources page). Prioritize Gold, Wood and Stone early; rare resources are needed to unlock higher-level troops.

Steam reviews are Very Positive, as checked on the official store page. Percentages and review counts change, so check the Steam store for current figures.

The 2026 PC roadmap planned two Tales story DLCs and one faction DLC. Releases confirmed here are Rise Eternal (March 5, 2026), a story expansion about Kastus Maal, and Yulan (June 4, 2026), with a new faction, biome, five Conquest maps and a three-map story. The unit total and release status of the remaining Tale have not been checked. The Tales update that groups story maps together was released in December 2025.
