The group first hears about the Nerifes Cannon from Maurits Welnes at the exit of the Forest of No Return after the Bridge rises from his hidden location. Maurits explains at his hermitage that the cannon was once used as weapon by inhabitants of the Kingdom of Terises as a method of protecting the Legacy from invaders. According to the records that belongs to the Ferines, each time the Nerifes Cannon was used, countless Ferines were sacrificed in order to power the weapon, thus it was sealed and keep hidden alongside the Bridge. Vaclav Bolud intends to take control of the cannon in order to use its power against the Holy Kingdom of Gadoria, the Crusand Empire's rival. The only way for Orerines to use the cannon is through the Bridge aboard the Legacy.
