Valor Mortis runs as one continuous story, and the whole thing is split into numbered chapters you can track from the journal. Each chapter is a single Main Quest, and the game marks your place as you move through it. If you want the count and the exact order, both are below.
Quick answer: Valor Mortis’s main campaign contains 11 chapters. Press Tab to open the menu, then select QUESTS to check which chapter is marked Active.
Where the chapters live in the menu
Under MAIN QUEST you will see “Active” and “Completed” entries. Each one shows “CHAPTER” with a Roman numeral, the chapter name, an illustrated card, and a journal line for every stage you have reached. The newest stage sits on top, and finished stages are ticked.
Side quests are separate from the 11 main chapters and do not change this count. The chapter running right now is always the Active one, and its newest stage line tells you where to go when you lose your bearings.
All 11 Valor Mortis chapters in order
The entries below name every chapter and give the opening journal line for each one. If you want to go in cold, stop after the first few.
I. REVIVAL

Using the chapter numbers while you play
The chapter numbers do more than mark your progress. Collectible and side quest lists are usually sorted by chapter, so knowing which one you are in makes those lists easy to follow.
