Siege of Castles
content auto translated from {from}

There are a total of 9 castles in Aion:

3 are located in the Lower Abyss and are defended by level 40 guards.

5 castles are in the Upper Abyss and are defended by guards of level "??" (the only mobs at such a level :))

1 castle is in the Central Abyss. Essentially, the entire central abyss is represented by this castle.

Now a brief overview of the siege:

The foremost defense of the castle, besides the defenders themselves, are the gates. This is quite a thick and massive structure,

the destruction of which is the first and sure step towards victory.

And to help in the destruction, we have the brilliant invention of the engineers - siege cannons! They differ in power and cost accordingly :)

But the defenders don’t just shoot at the attackers and try to protect the gates; they actively use their Restoration Stone, which repairs the gates.

Great strategists who decided to deceive the system and fly into the castle from the air are in for an unpleasant surprise - the fortress is surrounded by a protective field that prevents air attacks and deals serious damage to especially eager flyers.

But not everything is as bad as it seems! It turns out that the protective field is generated by a special artifact, and destroying it allows the attacker to remove the barrier and launch their assault behind enemy lines.

That’s it, the gates are destroyed, the assault forces clear the remaining resistance, and it seems the castle should have fallen...

But here we face the final surprise - in the castle's dungeon stands a huge Guardian, and victory over it will signify victory and capture of the castle!
