After the last village
Per the wiki, Lord of the Lowlands starts when any village elder offers it after the major mainland villages are liberated, and leads to the final assault on Lord Ashbourne at the Brigand Headquarters. Its listed reward: Story progression (final assault unlocked). Defeating Lord Ashbourne yields unique loot..
What this page cannot promise
The wiki's quest fields are community-written: 6 of the 7 villages have a “Break free” page, and several rewards are marked unverified there, so only the listed fields are used. Garrison sizes and attack waves are not in our data.
