Template:Castle siege declaration

Guilds are able to sign up to either siege or defend a castle over a week long declaration period.

• Once a guild registers for the siege a scroll creation quest is initiated that guild members may participate in, and it becomes possible to lay the declaration scroll down as soon as the quest is completed.
  • Multiple guilds may register to attack and the first to complete the scroll and lay down the declaration may begin to have their members register to attack (there will be a cap).
  • The siege scroll deployment is a 5 min rooted cast that alerts the region at the cast initiation and names the caster that must be the guild leader.
  • If the guild leader is killed, the casting is interrupted. The scroll will remain until it is recast. It will disappear if it is not cast within the declaration period.
  • The scroll may only be placed in a ring around the castle. The quality of the scroll determines the proximity to the castle.
• Players don't need to be in the guild that owns a castle in order to sign up for the defense of the castle.
• The guild leader that owns the castle is able to approve guilds that have applied to defend at the castle.
• Following declaration, the defender has a week grace period to approve defenders, hire mercenary NPCs and set up defensible positions.
