What is Castle?

  • Castle is an event that allows clans to fight for control of the Newwind Castle.
  • Killing the Castle sheep, also known as the Castle Heart, causes your clan to take control of the Castle.
  • Your clan gains points for every second it holds the Castle, until another clan kills the Heart and takes control.
  • At the end of the event, control of the Castle is split between the clans that captured it based on the points they gained.

  • Anyone may enter the Castle whilst other events, such as Bait, Birdwatch, or Payload, are active.

Castle Rewards

  • The Castle reward pool distributes 100 embers per day between holding clans based on the percentage of the Castle they control. For example, if a clan holds 25%, it will receive 25 embers from the pool.
  • A percentage of sharpening-stone revenue is also distributed between holding clans as tax.

Clan owners can claim currency earned through tax and reward splits using /castle claim.

Castle Banners

Owners of the clan with the largest Castle holding may change the banners around spawn by right-clicking the banner
inside the Castle throne room. This also changes spawn's color scheme to the banner's base color.
