Description
The raw power of the runestones will allow Hymdall to temporarily open a tear into demonic worlds, but it's not enough. The Legion hides its presence in far away worlds with dark magic. Bring a greater runestone so that Hymdall can hone in on our enemies across the cosmos.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The time has come to make our move against the Legion. The Legion has multiple portals across the Broken Isles. Should your armies succeed in securing one while it's still active, Hymdall can use the runestones you gathered to direct it to whatever hellish world Hodir is trapped in.
