In the game
The playable map is the valley itself. The mountains act as its walls, so treat high ground at the edges as places to explore, not ways out.
- A Lone Wolf's HuntA Lone Wolf's Hunt is the ending you get by storming Greifberg Castle on your own, without Crake's or Lacra's help. It ends in the final fight with Brencis, so save before you go in.
- A Mother's HeartA Mother's Heart is a quest the wiki lists for Vale Sangora, built around a fight and the conversation that follows it. Guide sites have not covered it under this name yet, so details are thin.
A Mother's PleaA Mother's Plea is the Uriash Elder's request to find her daughter Ocha in Svartrau. It only appears if you enter the Uriash village peacefully, and it pays out the Soul Stigma Manual.- Come HitherCome Hither is one of the Sanzhani favours that open after Good Home. You follow a sanzhana to its burrow and kill the murohn living there, and it counts toward Letters to Lunka.

Live BaitLive Bait is a Prologue side quest where Yanna asks you to take the little ones fishing. A run-in with Brencis's soldier at the river says a lot about the danger hanging over Pieter.
Military CheckpointsMilitary checkpoints are guarded soldier posts on the roads of Vale Sangora. They get in your way once Brencis's men start watching for you, so it pays to know when to fight and when to slip past.
The Bittersweet ToastThe Bittersweet Toast is an easy-to-miss quest that branches off The Gilded Gauntlet. Iulian Codrin has a plan to poison Ambrus before your duel, and how you handle it decides who lives.
The FirebrandThe Firebrand opens Crake's questline. Coen follows Vladimir's trail to a mill and a military post in Briar Sloughs, and it has a hard four-day deadline you need to watch.- The Good SamaritanThe Good Samaritan is a short follow-up to A Study in Crimson in Vicho's questline. A Svartrau medic asks you to carry medicine to a farm south of the city, and what you find there is grim.
- Things Will Be Different NowThings Will Be Different Now is the epilogue quest, set back in Laslea Glen after the final battle. It is a short wind-down where you see how your choices landed before the credits.
- Trouble with SilverTrouble with Silver is a quick Svartrau City activity where a guard is harassing an old woman over silver. Stepping in earns 100 XP and a skill point.
- Where Loyalty LiesWhere Loyalty Lies is a Crake questline quest in Svartrau City where Coen finally gets in with the manumit rebels. You need a high Infamy before it starts, so plan some court activities first.
