Obviously you can gather these supplies as you go, so it’s not mandatory to gather everything beforehand. You will need to back this sizable party with at least 3000 denars to buy supplies and pay party wages. It is highly recommended to have a party of at least 25 units, as this will deter looters and bandits from impeding your progress.

Around 3000 denars for training, supplies, and wages.

This should be among the first things you do in the game while still trying to develop your army and supplies so you won’t be overwhelmed once you’re done and join a Kingdom. This quest takes place across the entire continent and will take quite a bit of time and effort, but is required in order to advance in the game. Right after you complete the tutorial/training where the friendly neighborhood sword trainer most likely slapped the soul out of you with his sword, your brother will then task you with investigating an artifact.

You are still able to join other lords factions before completing these quests. Alongside the “ Investigate Neretzes’s Folly” quest, this guide will also take you through the next quest called “ Assemble the Dragon Banner” which is required in order to create your own faction. Thankfully, the quest turns out to be fairly easy, albeit time consuming. Once the tutorial is over and you are told that you are now free to explore Calradia, what now? The only thing guiding you now is a vague quest that can be quite daunting starting out, as the only direction you are given is to talk to nobles about the history of Calradia.
