After deciding to fight with Nohr, you must battle the Hoshidans.

Rout the Enemy

Move your party up toward the Dragon Vein, then use it so you can reach Xander and help him fight Ryoma. After you heal Xander and get rid of Ryoma, attack the other Hoshidans one by one until they are all defeated.

After

After the battle, Lilith takes you to your castle in the astral plane and walks you through creating buildings. At this point you can have Support conversations with your units, invite an ally to your private quarters (be sure to select someone with a heart icon next to the name because this will ensure that your relationship will improve), collect resources, and buy stuff from the shops.

Be sure to feed Lilith. You might want to check on the crystal ball to visit other castles (if you are connected to the Internet) because this will let you gather resources that are unavailable in your own castle, giving you a wider range foods to give stat boosts to Lilith.
