One of the 5 guild castles is located on an island, depicted with its 3 adjacent castle nodes.[1][2]

Should you be deft enough to take a Castle, you’ll now be responsible for managing it. Castles will have their own Nodes associated with them, and developing and defending those Nodes will determine the state of your Castle during the next siege. If you’ve done a good job managing your kingdom, then you’ll have more and better options available for deployment during the next siege. If you let your populace fall to ruin, you may have to rely solely on your own devices.[3]

טירות של גילדות have three adjacent castle nodes in close proximity.[4][5] The guild must develop those nodes to enhance the defenses of the castle.[4] It will be possible, but very difficult for a single guild to fully develop these nodes. They will likely need assistance from the broader community.[6]

Once the castle is owned by a guild that's when the supporting castle nodes start to come online and spawn each week prior to the fourth week castle siege. They'll have to form alliances, they'll have to get support, they'll have to get resources, they'll be able to allocate funds that have been collected through taxation in order to strengthen the defenses as well as hiring additional NPC mercenaries.[10]Steven Sharif

צמתי טירה are leveled through questing by the owning guild or alliance guilds.[5]

  • Levelling castle nodes is a hastened process compared to regular nodes.[8]
  • At the end of each week leading up to a castle siege there is a period of time in the weekend where NPC generated caravans start moving toward one of the castle nodes carrying castle taxes from the nodes that fall under the castle's purview.[11][12]
    • During this time it is incumbent upon the owning guild, its allies, and citizens of the nodes to escort these caravans to the castle node.[11]
    • The enemies of the guild have incentive to attack these caravans to reap the rewards from the caravan and to sabotage the tax collection, which will reduce the defensive capability of the castle nodes and hence the castle itself.[11][5]
    • Citizens of nodes that fall under the purview of the castle are automatically registered as defenders of these caravans and may not participate in attacks against them.[11]
  • Completing these quests unlocks services and functions that are useful to the occupying guild and its allies as well as boosting the defenses the castle.[5]

If they fail to to level up those nodes or complete those quests within the three prior weeks before the declaration week, then the castle will be at a disadvantage.[5]Steven Sharif

Being a member of the occupying guild automatically makes you a garrison of the castle nodes and castle itself.[4]

  • Only members of the occupying guild are citizens of these nodes.[13]
  • This citizenship is different to normal node citizenship. Castle nodes don't operate like normal nodes.[13][7]
