Castle Siege & Castle Deep
Map: Valley of Loren · Move list (M) → LorenDeep (level 150+, free)
Castle Siege is the weekly guild war for the Castle of Loren. Guilds register during the week, hand in Signs of Lord to earn a place among the attackers and on Sunday try to break into the castle and take the Crown. Castle Deep is a separate monster invasion on the same map, three times a day, open to everyone.

Summer time
The siege schedule is set in winter time. While summer time is active (last Sunday of March to last Sunday of October), every siege phase starts one hour later on the server clock — the battle is at 13:00 – 14:00 in winter and 14:00 – 15:00 in summer. The siege times on this page follow the season selected here.
Who Can Take Part
The guild that holds the castle when the battle ends owns it for the next week and its Guild Master becomes the Castle Lord.
Requirements
- You must be in a guild — only the Guild Master can register it
- No minimum guild size and no minimum Guild Master level
- Up to 100 guilds can register each week
- The castle owner guild can't register — it defends automatically with its alliance
- Guilds in the same alliance fight on the same side
- Each attacking alliance is its own side — attackers fight the defenders and each other

The cycle is 7 days and restarts every Monday. Registrations and Signs of Lord from the previous week are cleared.
