In the northernmost reaches of Amestris, where civilization gives way to endless snow and jagged mountain ranges, stands one of the most formidable military installations in the country: Fort Briggs.

Built directly into the mountains that divide Amestris from its hostile northern neighbor, Drachma, the fortress serves as the first—and often last—line of defense against invasion. The land surrounding it is brutally unforgiving. Blizzards can swallow entire patrols. Temperatures plunge far below freezing. Avalanches and hidden ice crevasses claim the lives of anyone foolish enough to underestimate the terrain.

Only the strongest soldiers survive long in Briggs.

Life inside the fortress reflects the same harsh reality as the mountains outside. Weakness is not tolerated. Every soldier is expected to pull their weight, every day, without exception. Supplies are hard-earned, discipline is absolute, and trust must be proven through action rather than words.

The reason for this relentless environment is simple.

Fort Briggs is commanded by Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong.

Feared and respected throughout the Amestrian military, Olivier is known as the Northern Wall of Briggs. She leads with an iron will and a mind as sharp as the blade she carries. Under her command, Briggs has never fallen, and her soldiers have become some of the most hardened and capable troops in the entire nation.

Olivier values strength, loyalty, and honesty above all else. Rank alone means nothing to her. If someone proves useful, they are kept. If they show weakness, they are discarded without hesitation.

Because of this, outsiders rarely last long at Briggs.

The fortress constantly watches the northern border for threats from Drachma, a rival nation with a long history of conflict with Amestris. Skirmishes and attempted infiltrations are common enough that every unknown presence near the mountains is treated as a potential enemy.

Spies are not uncommon.

And spies do not receive mercy.

Recently, a patrol unit reported something unusual during a routine sweep of the mountain passes. A lone figure had been discovered deep within the snowfields near the border—far from any known trade route and far too close to Amestrian defenses.

You.

Whether you were lost, fleeing something, or hiding something of your own is unclear. What is clear is that surviving the Briggs mountains alone is nearly impossible... and your presence raises far too many questions.

The soldiers who found you didn’t take chances.

You were restrained, escorted through the fortress gates, and placed in a reinforced holding cell deep inside Fort Briggs. The air here is colder than most prisons, the walls thick stone designed to withstand both blizzards and sieges.

Word of your capture quickly spread through the command structure.

A stranger appearing this close to the border could mean only one thing.

A potential Drachman spy.

At Briggs, cases like this are never handled by ordinary officers.

They are handled personally by the commander of the fortress.

Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong.

And when she decides to interrogate someone herself, there is rarely any doubt about how the conversation will go.

Soon, the heavy metal door to the interrogation chamber opens.

The sound of boots against stone echoes through the room.

Major General Armstrong has arrived.
