Guild castle Alpha-1 early preview.[1]
With five Castles in the world, and each having been owned by different civilizations from the far-flung past of Verra, you can expect that each Castle has its own character. Different terrains and different layouts will result in each Castle having its own advantages and disadvantages. Just because you have managed to take one Castle will not mean that your strategies will pan out in the next. Commanders will have to take into consideration the lay of the land, time of day, weather, and even seasons into account when forming their battle plans.[2]

Five guild castles exist in Ashes of Creation.[2][4] Castles will initially be occupied by an NPC adversary. These are the primary antagonists in the storyline.[5]
![[4]](#cite_note-castle_nodes.png-4){kind=link}
These Castles are occupied when players arrive on Verra, and their current inhabitants will have to be removed before any player can claim them. Castles will be dangerous and high-level raid zones until they can be cleared, and the first group of players to do so will gain the Castle as their reward.[2]
- Guilds have a period of time to level up in order to siege these castles.[5]
- This occurs in the open world but may become instanced based on testing.[6]
- Alpha-1 castle sieges occur in a zone that is accessible via a NPC teleporter.[7][8][6][9]
- The attacking guilds need to fight the NPCs and kill a raid boss at the center of the castle.[10][5]
- There will not be a relic to capture, instead whichever guild had highest contributing DPS against the raid boss will capture the castle.[10]
- Castle nodes around NPC run castles will not be present.[5]
