Desert’s Edge
Head westwards.
Destroy two Circles of Sand on your way (1).
When you reach the settlement (2), destroy everything and follow the journeyman and the artifact.
Your Clockwork Men are pretty useless here - they will eventually fall apart.
Destroy the other Circles of Sand (3).
You’ll reach a construction made of dark glass (4).
Azar Harif
First you have to resist a heavy attack from Dark Alin (1).
Build a Circle of Sand and train as much infantry as you’re able to.
Use Arri’s Summon Rukh ability to get a free additional unit.
You are being attack simultaneously from three sides.
Thing are worst on the South, where Marwan himself is commanding his troops.
Start with getting a second mine to the South (2).
The thing is, Dark Alin will come and attack you in large numbers when you complete this task.
There’s a second city (4) to the North that can prove useful.
It’s not heavily guarded, Giacomo and Arri together will manage to take it over.
When you complete the quest, Dark Alin will appear from below the ground.
First you have to survive their attack.
Their toughest blow strikes at the Trading Post (3), so concentrate your troops there.
Remember that about your heroes' abilities, they can secure your butt a few times in here.
To finish the mission, you have to destroy all 5 Glass Spires.
None too easy, as Dark Alin troops and buildings are quite resistant to damage.

Build a Circle of Glass and have some Glass Cannons ready for them.
You don’t get to control many mines here, unfortunately, so it will take some time.
HINT: In (5) there’s Don Sclario’s outpost.
HINT: There’s a second bonus quest to take over the Floating Castle in (6).
It has insane amounts of HP, so don’t even think about it without Glass Cannons.
