There is no clean, officially labeled “good ending.” Saving Coen's family before day 30 avoids the clearest failure state, but each political route carries costs.

The Folk Hero route is the strongest general recommendation for independence: defeat Brencis without Lacra or Crake's final assistance. PC Gamer reports that Vale Sangora becomes independent and the Manumits restrain some lawlessness, while the plague returns and the valley faces instability.
The Patricide route may be better for Lacra-focused players. Knyazmaker empowers the Manumit/Catalin path but produces harsh rule and violence in PC Gamer's epilogue account. Turncoat saves the family through betrayal and is difficult to frame as a broad good outcome.
To maximize a positive epilogue, resolve companion quests, save key NPCs, protect the family, and keep 800 Denarius for optional epilogue support choices reported by PC Gamer.
