Located on the western edge of the mainland, this series of coastal beaches and islands were once the site of a large Colonial assault on Warden territory. Farranac Coast is separated from the islands by several large bays and has remained relatively peaceful for quite some time. In recent years, the tactical importance of the coast has led to increased Colonial activity, likely looking to regain a strong foothold on Warden ground.

— Old In-game description
Farranac Coast is a coastal map that makes up the Western Coast. It consists of various landmasses that create a vast coastline, with several large beaches underneath steep cliffs. Further inland, it is split up by rivers, with the vast stretches of land in-between consisted of farmland and open fields.
The region's victory point is the major city The Jade Cove, which is located at the mouth of the River Mercy.
Farranac Coast has multiple waterways that are spread across the map. These consist of the River Mercy, Iuxta Gulf, and The Aging Ocean. These waterways allow naval vehicles to traverse anywhere across the map, which includes a water conncection to the Eastern Coastline, and their hexes.

Abandoned Shelter
It appears that someone lived in this remote location.
Signs of life are scattered all over the rocks. The remnants of a makeshift shelter, a well-used firepit, animal carcasses and a beat-up old boat.

Cave Tally
Cave Tally
Along the cave wall, you spot a series of organized etches on either side of a separating line.
The left side has thirty-four and the right has thirty-one. A few in the middle are scuffed out.
You suspect it was used to count days or to tally something.
She was a visionary. None could have imagined how well she’d live up to and perhaps surpass her great grandfather's legacy. Naysayers and experts in the senate claimed that Warden inner defences were impenetrable, a folly to pursue. Yet, our glorious commander proved them wrong with her unconventional strategies and radical tactics.
To no surprise, she would go on to be awarded a seat on the high council representing Veli for her valor and bravery. It stunned the republic when Maro refused, opting instead to remain on the battlefield.
All of Mesea—and Veli most of all—should feel blessed to have such a dedicated and capable commander leading the Colonial Legions toward our inevitable victory.
For The End, Is Our Glory.

Journal of a Deserting Soldier
Journal of a Deserting Soldier
A journal left behind by a deserting soldier.
I’ve decided to leave a trail with the hope it might wind up in the hands of those starting to question all of this. To reach those who feel hopeless or afraid. If my words find you, know this: you can escape.
I left this war as a high ranking member of the Swords of Maro. I promise, this is not in jest. It was heartbreaking. That company was all I had. To me, they’re family. Even today, I’d die for any one of them. But I learned there is life outside of war. You’ll soon find it too.
On my travels, a man taught me some Velian history. Our once great country struck a deal with Mesea hundreds of years ago. Did you know we once had a king? A Kingdom? The Caoivish are no better. Their greed is what forced us Velians into desperation. Their wall. Their need for control.
I'm not interested in fighting a war of opportunity. Are you?
I’ve met a girl. And, I know what you’ll try to tell me.
But what if? Why not? I’d like a life with her. A simple one, away from war. Would you turn down warmth in your bed? A fire to come home to? A home at all? It’s a risk worth taking.
We're headed north to Nicnevin. It’s through rough terrain where, hopefully we won't be followed. We mean to take the pass through Morgen's Crossing. A bit of an inside joke so we didn’t want to miss it.
If you arrive at the Crossing, you may find us and I hope that you do. Know that you have friends in the north.
Follow the stars.

Letter to Juno
Letter to Juno
Excerpt from a letter addressed to someone named Juno.
...I wish they had just cooled their trade expansion. I wish they would have left well enough alone and stayed hidden in their little mountain fortress. Now Maro, she... well, I think it's all about pride at this point but she assures us it’s securing our legacy. And yet she has so many mice whispering in her ears, does she even know what's truth?
How much longer do we let this continue? What's even left to fight for? Love, please write back to me. I must know that you’re safe. I'm leaving Terra as soon as is feasible. It'll be some time before I make it back to Kálokai but there's a barge coming along on which I mean to stow away.
This cock of a war, I yearn for you to see its end;I’m afraid I will not be so lucky. The lad who carried my letter, he’s trustworthy. He'll get whatever you entrust with him back to me. He knows the plan.
Standing out with its red and blue binding is a book detailing the journeys and follies of an ancient foreign sea god.
Scattered around the book are several tattered yet undelivered letters. You suspect most were intended to reassure loved ones about the state of the war.
