Sieges are large-scale player-versus-player events in which clans compete to seize control of castles across the realm. By default, all castles are initially occupied by NPC Clans and become contested once a PC Clan initiates a siege.

All castles begin under the control of NPC Clans. When a PC clan defeats an NPC clan and occupies the castle, it becomes the exclusive possession of that clan.

• ◆ When a PC Clan defeats an NPC clan and occupies the castle, that castle becomes the possession of the PC clan.
• ◆ If a clan with ownership of a castle has been dissolved, the castle is returned to its initial state — under NPC control once more.

Only the Castle Lord may select a siege time. This is done through the Chamberlain NPC located inside the castle.

• ◆ Take care when choosing a siege time — it cannot be changed once it is set. Consider your clan's availability carefully before confirming.

• ◆ Any lord occupying a castle must determine the next siege time within 24 hours of occupying the castle.
• ◆ If no time is selected, the game automatically sets the siege time for two weeks after the castle has been occupied — on the same day of the week.

A castle does not receive any form of attack until the next scheduled siege time. This protection window ensures newly occupied castles can be organised before facing challengers.

• ◆ A castle does not receive damage from any form of attack until the next siege time arrives.
• ◆ The next castle siege time is either Saturday or Sunday, two weeks after the castle has been occupied.
• ◆ A clan that has successfully occupied a castle may safely possess it for up to 15 days.
