Overview
Crimson Falcon Hall (赤隼馆, Chìsǔn Guǎn) is a manor-style estate inside the town of Frostcloud Town in the West Yunluo Highlands, featured prominently during Chapter 3 of the Jixia arcShining Stars. The manor is owned and operated by Fengyu (枫羽, 'Maple Feather'), a hunter and falconer the players meet as part of the chapter's investigation into disturbances in the Cloud Fall region.
Fengyu's Role
Fengyu lends expertise about local wildlife, including the Thorn Bears and Digging Wolves that have grown violent during the Chapter 3 disturbance. His manor functions as a narrative hub between field excursions. The Chapter 3 investigation arc leading to the boss fights against Frenzied Blazing Pelt and Yunsheng routes through Fengyu and Crimson Falcon Hall.
Architecture and Atmosphere
Architecturally, Crimson Falcon Hall follows the wider aesthetic of West Yunluo: timbered mountain-lodge construction, lantern-lit courtyards, and heraldic motifs featuring the falcon for which the hall is named. It sits within walking distance of the town center and operates as a quiet counterweight to the storm of Chapter 3's boss fights, serving as a rest beat where players refit, talk to Fengyu, and plan the next excursion into Cangyun Valley or the outlying caves.
Gameplay Function
Crimson Falcon Hall anchors two chapter quests: the initial introduction to Fengyu and the follow-up where Fengyu rejoins the player's party for the confrontation with Frenzied Blazing Pelt. It is a main-story location and does not appear as a standalone raid or dungeon. Players generally complete their business here during the chapter run and move on, though it is a fully explorable interior with incidental collectibles and ambient dialogue that rewards careful exploration.

Frostcloud Town Setting
Crimson Falcon Hall is a fortified hall complex in the Frostcloud Town region, positioned as one of the principal indoor sets used across Chapters 3 and 4. The hall's interior layout supports both a public reception area near the entrance and a more restricted inner sanctum that gates a key Chapter 3 storyline beat.
Chapter 3 Ties
The hall serves as a Chapter 3 narrative anchor: the chapter's mid-act dialogue sequence plays out in the reception area, and the chapter-end objective requires the player to access the inner sanctum. Subsequent chapters return to the hall for follow-up dialogue, but the hall's principal narrative weight is in Chapter 3.
