Square Enix's tactical triumph Triangle Strategy pits House Wolffort's Lord Serenoa and his allies against the forces that threaten to tear Norzelia apart. These forces, for the most part, are from the Duchy of Aesfrost, whose leader, Gustadolf, invades Glenbrook (defended by House Wolffort) in a relentless campaign.

Avlora is one of Gustadolf's generals, a formidable warrior who wields an enormous blade and the might of her army. The player meets her on the field of battle and is able to repel her, but Avlora isn't so enamored with the Aesfrosti leadership. It's possible to not only sway her actions but recruit her to your cause.

To do so, the player must follow the so-called Golden Path to the good ending. This requires them not to use the Fire Traps and burn any houses during the attack from Avlora in the battle in Chapter 7. After that, smuggle salt for Sorseley two chapters later, and tell Svarog who Roland really is when given the opportunity. It's also important not to leave the Roselle behind, and to find their special rock (the real one) when prompted.

Checking in with Serenoa's father when possible (Chapter 15) then unlocks some further dialogue options near the ending, during our hero's wrap-up monologue. Answer the questions correctly and you're on the right path. Avlora will come to the Wolffort's camp, and request to fight alongside her former bitter enemy. Depending on your perspective, it's quite the redemption for this mighty warrior.
