Preview - Stronghold Siege! Protect the Royal Family from an Orcish Onslaught!

[Cinco]

Defend Castle Vyromir!

The Vyromir royals have been invaded by a scourge of orcs and beseech you, Legends, to assist them in ending the invasion before Castle Vyromir is no more.

How to Play

Visit the Page of Vyromir in town to start the questline, then pass through the Energy portal in Windmoore to reach Castle Vyromir, where you'll be greeted by the 4 members of the Arlorian royal family, who desperately need your help to protect the castle.

Unlike other events, however, the fight is coming straight to you, and you'll need to protect the royal family as you slice, dice, and cast your way through several waves of orcs and their leader. Protect these new allies as you fight through the instance either Solo or Multi (in groups of 3, one of each Class required), and earn points based on: 1) how quickly you complete the instances and 2) how much health the royals have left at the end.

Beware, if they all perish...you will lose and have to start again.

Leaderboards

Points earned in the instance will help you to climb the Solo and Group Leaderboards for rewards (all rewards are trade-friendly).

Note: this is a single two-week event with no weekly split.
