Ara: History Untold's Independent Settlements
It’s time to meet the neighbors! At the start of Act I, Independent Settlements are scattered throughout the world, hidden by the fog of war. You can uncover these villages by sending scouts and other units to explore the wild regions beyond your borders.
Independent Settlements are not initially aligned with any nation and can be ignored, antagonized, or befriended over time. Your relationship with a settlement can range from Hostile to Loyal and will improve by completing various quests. Some groups may ask you to share resources before the coming winter, while others will call for your aid in defeating a rival tribe.
Be careful; pillaging one of these settlements for loot or failing to complete their quests will cause them to grow hostile and create mercenary units in retaliation. Claiming a region inhabited by an Independent Settlement will also result in a group of angry mercenaries at your doorstep.
Beyond improving relationship status, settlement quests have their own rewards, such as rare resources, equipment, and prestige that can help advance your nation quickly. Upon reaching the “Loyal” status with an Independent Settlement, you will be presented with their Capstone Quest. Slightly more challenging than those leading up to it, this quest will allow the settlement to join your nation once completed!
Work swiftly to establish relationships because all surviving settlements disappear at the start of Act II. Depending on your final relationship status, they may gift you resources and equipment or join your nearest city as newly welcomed citizens.
