New Map
Year 3 Season 4 takes place just after a massive sandstorm, which resulted in wrecking the Wu Lin territories. Many of the warriors made the decision to go west and take refuge in Heathmoor. Others decided to stay and support the Emperor while rebuilding the army.
Among these many warriors is the leader of the Zhanzu, Sun da. He has managed to find new ways in using fir at this laboratory located at Qiang Pass, which is the newest map coming to For Honor. This is located at a narrow pass situated between two mountains. Here, the Wu Lin built a grand fortress that looks over a strategic route. With mountains on each side of the fortress, it was easy to defend since the focus was on one front. However, a catastrophe weakened its fortifications. Since then, attackers have amassed at Qiang Pass, more than determined to open a path for their own invading forces.
