The continent of Fdlan is divided by three ruling nations, and at its centre lies Garreg Mach Monastery, home to the Officers Academy where the future leaders of Fdlan train. As a travelling mercenary turned teacher, you must choose which of the Academys three houses to lead in their academic lives and on the battlefield.

Class assignments will see you and your pupils charge into strategic, turn-based skirmishes across Fdlan. In a series first, battalions of troops will follow your units to support them on the battlefield. How your students fare in these battles depends on your leadership, so strategise as the fight progresses to lead your army to victory.
