Sovereign Tower Counties of Bretania & What They Unlock
Bretania is made of counties you can bring onto your side, each with its own crisis and its own achievement. Ten of them have a Rally achievement attached; unifying all of Bretania and conquering the Empire are two further milestones on top.
Every county with a Rally achievement
| County | Rally achievement | The crisis | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Groveshire | A Successful Hunt | The beast in the woods. Send Angelica on the kill-the-beast quest and the Wolf comes to court instead of dying; finish the remove-the-curse quest later and Belladonna turns him into Rufus. Forested county north of Brizh, with Groveshire Castle at its centre. | The Wolf, Rufus, Silgur |
| Drakovic | How to Deal With Dragons | The Dragon Knight. Defeating him is what introduces Arron, and letting Arron perform the ritual afterwards is a separate achievement. Central, around Drakovic Castle, between Groveshire and Almor. | Arron |
| Almor | HURRAY! HURRAY! | The tournament. Win the final segment that Childeric asks you to throw and he joins anyway; send Goberto to that same segment and he comes back in legendary armour. The mountainous east, with Almora as its seat. | Childeric, Goberto's transformation |
| Gavault | And Thus, the Revolution Came to an End | A revolution. Negotiating well with the princess is one route to Brunhilda; helping Mathilda storm the revolt fort brings Tarcus in right behind her. There is also a Brutal Repression achievement for the radical solution. The southern peninsula. | Brunhilda, Tarcus |
| Kutnar | The Grand Derby | The derby. Win the final tournament with a high-tier participant, accept the minimum-tax tradeoff, then hire Zolta for 250 gold — or simply cheat on the second challenge and let him admire your artistry. The northern island chain. | Zolta |
| Southbay | It's a Mess | The wish-granting lamp thread runs through here, and so does saving Yannis — its own achievement, Family Cure. The south-eastern coast, past the mountains. | Ligia's lamp questline |
| Enberg | Whodunnit? | A murder trial. Which way you resolve it decides whether you walk away with Victoria or with Gothild — you do not get both. Not labelled on the opening map view. | Victoria, Gothild |
| Moonvale | Connection Restored | The archmage. Asking whether anyone has both dragon knowledge and mage abilities is the documented route to Edith. Not labelled on the opening map view. | Edith |
| Isles of Basalt | How to Train Your Griffin | Griffins. Ask Rodrik and Gotfrig about getting one in Act 3 and they point you at their younger brother. Not labelled on the opening map view. | Ari |
| Brimwood | ORDER! | Named in the achievement list as a rally target; the achievement text is a single word of courtroom order. Not labelled on the opening map view. | — |

The county map is a recruitment map
Read the table again as a roster plan rather than a conquest plan and it tells you something the game does not spell out: seven of the ten counties are the only route to a specific knight. Groveshire is where the Wolf comes from and where Rufus replaces him. Enberg decides Victoria against Gothild. Almor is both Childeric's recruitment and Goberto's transformation, on the same tournament segment. If a knight is missing from your table, the county you have not touched is usually the reason.

How many counties can be allied in one run
Ten counties have a Rally achievement. An official screenshot from a run at cycle 32 shows the header reading "Allied counties 5/6".
Status: Unresolved as of Sep 1, 2026 — the 5/6 counter may be scoped to an act or to a specific objective rather than to the whole map. Read your own header rather than assuming ten are available at once.
