History of Empire's Fall

Overview

Empire's Fall is a post-campaign quest from Variks at Charon's Crossing on Europa, following Reclaiming Europa. This historical Beyond Light quest has you perform Variks's Sabotage assignments, then assault Riis-Reborn in the mission The Aftermath. Completing it advances the Europa quest chain and unlocks The Dark Priestess.
