Zadnor
- See also: The Dalriada and The Bozjan Southern Front
“The IVth Legion has retreated to the barren plateaus of Zadnor, their imperial flagship looming ominously on the horizon. What they hope to gain from their newfound base of operations remains to be seen, but the Resistance refuses to stand idle. As both sides are pushed to their limit, who will emerge the victor as the battle for Bozja reaches its bloody climax?
— In-game description
Zadnor is a level 71 field operation introduced in patch 5.55 with Shadowbringers.
This is an instanced area that up to 72 players can explore simultaneously, and is the second major battlefield of two in the Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr storyline. Like the Bozjan Southern Front, Zadnor is a instanced encounter wherein players assist the Bozjan Resistance in their continued effort to reclaim their homeland from the IVth Imperial Legion.
Unlock
- Quest:
A New Playing Field - Level: Disciple of War or Magic level 80
- Starting NPC: Marsak in Gangos (X:6.4 Y:5.7)
- Prerequisite: Players must first complete the main story quest
Futures Rewritten and have completed the quest Fit for a Queen.
Mechanics
All duty-specific mechanics (e.g., forming parties, level sync) are identical to those of the Bozjan Southern Front. For more information, see that page.
Mettle is obtained in much greater quantities in this duty than in the Bozjan Southern Front or Delubrum Reginae, making this the ideal location to farm mettle. However, the other Save the Queen duties are sources of useful Lost Actions and other rewards that are not found in Zadnor.
Advancement - Mettle and Resistance Rank
Mettle and Resistance rank are similar in concept to experience and leveling, respectively. Mettle is earned by completing skirmishes and critical engagements, and on reaching a certain amounts of mettle, you will be able to increase your resistance rank by talking to the commander. Increasing your Resistance Rank is needed to progress within the front, and unlocks additional features.

Resistance Honors
Players who have reached the maximum Resistance rank can receive honors to permanently increase their strength when undertaking duties in Save the Queen areas.
Requirements
After reaching Resistance rank 25 and completing the quest March of the Bloody Queen, speak with the Resistance Councilor in Zadnor (X:35.7 Y:34.9).
Receiving Honors
After amassing sufficient mettle, players can speak with the Resistance Councilor to receive Proofs of Mettle in exchange for all of their stored mettle. It costs 20 million mettle to obtain 3 Proofs of Mettle. These may then be exchanged for three varieties of Resistance honors: Suns of Fortitude, Suns of Valor, or Suns of Succor. The number of proofs of mettle required to exchange for each Sun starts at one and increases by one every two of that Sun obtained, up to a maximum of five proofs of mettle needed.
| Ray Rank | Proofs of Mettle Cost | Cumulative Proofs Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 2 | 4 |
| 4 | 2 | 6 |
| 5 | 3 | 9 |
| 6 | 3 | 12 |
| 7 | 4 | 16 |
| 8 | 4 | 20 |
| 9 | 5 | 25 |
| 10 | 5 | 30 |
The number of proofs in your possession can be confirmed at any time via the HUD.
Effects
- Ray of Fortitude - Increases maximum HP (+5% per stack).
- Ray of Valor - Increases damage dealt (+3% per stack).
- Ray of Succor - Increases healing potency (+10% per stack).
The more of these honors in your possession (up to the cap of 10 each), the greater their effect. The number and types of each Sun in possession will be displayed as permanent buffs that are not lost on death. These effects are only active in Save the Queen duties.
Obtaining 10 of each Sun will complete the Suns of Bozja achievement, which unlocks "The Emblazoned" title.
The Dalriada
The Dalriada is a special engagement that takes place on a separate map and serves as the "finale" to Zadnor. Available after reaching Resistance Rank 25 and completing the prerequisite quests, it is a raid dungeon that allows up to a maximum of 48 players, and is accessed in the same way as Castrum Lacus Litore is in the Bozjan Southern Front. When it pops, click the Register button in the Resistance Recruitment list, and if you are selected, click Commence.

Spawning Critical Engagements
Critical Engagements and the FATEs preceding them do not spawn on their own. A sufficient amount of 4th Legion magitek machines need to be defeated to trigger a CE or CE chain. There are certain limitations:
- Each CE/CE chain as a cooldown of one hour
- Only one CE/CE chain can be active in Zadnor at the same time. The Dalriada is exempt from this.
- CEs/CE chains can be queued like Notorious Monsters in Eureka
The specific magitek machines that spawn a CE or CE chain can be pre-farmed. Killing sufficient numbers of corresponding machine will essentially queue the CE/CE chain, even if it is on cooldown or blocked by another CE. The CE will then start as soon as the blocking condition is lifted. Below is a table of the CE/CE chains in Zadnor with their corresponding triggering magitek machine.
