The guild master or an assistant (level 300+, guild of 5+ members) talks to a Fortress Herald — in Lorencia, Noria, Devias — and registers the guild for one fortress.

Members hand in their Signs of Lord at the Herald. Any number of guilds may register for the same fortress. A guild may register for one fortress only, an owner guild can’t attack another, and withdrawing a registration loses every sign handed in.

60 minutes before the battle the registration closes and the 3 guilds with the most signs are announced as attackers. The owner defends without registering.

When the battle starts the fortress gate (2,000,000 HP) is closed — the attackers have to break it to reach the altar.

Click the crystal and stay alive within 2 cells of the altar for 10 seconds to capture it. An enemy standing near does not stop you — they have to kill you or push you away — and nobody else can start a capture meanwhile. Your alliance counts as your side.

The guild with the longest total hold time — not the last one to touch the crystal — owns the fortress until the next battle. The owner holds the crystal from the first second.
