Wars are structured battles between Kingdoms that determine dominance, reputation, and seasonal influence.

At launch, Citadel features one war type: Battlefield Wars. Additional war formats will be introduced later in the season.

Wars are disabled during the opening period to allow Kingdoms time to establish themselves.

Battlefield Wars

Battlefield Wars take place at designated Crownposts:

• Akisora

• Ashenra

Wars are declared through Discord.

After a war is declared, a 30-minute preparation period begins. During this time, participants must (fast)travel to the battlefield. Only players physically present on the battlefield when the war begins may participate.

Battlefield Access Rules

Once the war begins:

• Players outside the battlefield cannot enter.

• Players inside cannot leave.

• Players exit only by death or when the war ends.

After the war concludes after 30 minutes:

• PvP is disabled.

• Players have 5 minutes to leave the battlefield.

• After this window, PvP is re-enabled and the battlefield reopens.

Players who remain may be attacked by others entering the area.

Dominion & Rewards

Wars contribute directly to Dominion, reflecting military pressure and battlefield influence.

Rewards are distributed automatically after a war.

Participants may receive:

• Compensation Keys

• War Keys

Rewards are based on multiple factors. The exact formula is not shared. Higher risk and meaningful participation increase potential rewards, even in defeat.

Dominion and reward scaling are influenced by:

• the strength and ranking of opposing Kingdoms

• the gear and souls at stake

• overall engagement and impact
