List of Contents

You must help Leoflaed and Glaedwine escape in the Escape Plan side quest obtained in the first region, Dawnshore.
You will then see them later on near the entrance of Thirdborn in the Shatterscarp region. Simply talk to them and they will give you the Gambeson of the Grand Empire.
It is worth noting that you will be unable to obtain the Gambeson of the Grand if, during the Shadows of the Past main quest, you choose to sever the Adra.
Make sure you talk to Leoflaed and Glaedwine in Thirdborn before doing Shadows of the Past in order to obtain this light armor.

SPOILERS!!!!!!! last warning this is a spoiler! ...........i tried to get this armor a little later in the game and unfortunately since i sided with a certain someone at the ruins in this area, one of these two are now dead and so the other one is there mourning and will not activate the dialogue to grant the armor even after completing the first sidequest. If theres a fix lmk but this is a potential softlock for this armorset.
