Prologue
The other legend throughout the Land started with a great warrior, Elliot Bless, who broke down the Valhalla Tower. That legend gave birth to the Bless, the Royal Family, and the Tower became their own possession. No one doubted the Family's immortal legend. There were also many opposing groups, who greedily desired the Royal Power and kept challenging to break down the Tower, but the Bless always succeeded in beating them away.
And hundreds of years have passed…
Hadrian, the chief of the clan "Ruskan" mainly based on the Railroad of Chaos heard news from his messenger sent to Ricarten, that the successor of the Bless tyrannized the Land and getting in the taxes for his own pleasure and amusement, never caring about people's poverty and anguish. Everyday the public got into a fury and demonstrated, only to be trampled on by the royal guards and be executed.
This news enraged every Clan in each Land who had numerous clan members killed at the battlefield in faith for the Royal Family, and they decided they cannot overlook the King's tyranny. They gathered once again under the promise to shatter the Valhalla Tower and dethrone the King Carden. Now their sacred sword once aimed at Egolanos goes to Carden, and they are coming to the Bless Castle one by one.
"When the Valhalla Tower gets shattered, a new King will be born.
And the Guardian of the Tower will take possession of Fountain of Soul..."
- A song of Mardanos
Now the legend is implying a new Royal Family will appear, and the King of the Land can be changed anytime.
The Bless Castle
The Bless Castle is located on a island in the southern part of the Realm.
Every Sunday from 16:00 to 18:00 GMT+1 Siege War takes place at Bless Castle Island to battle for clan ownership of Bless Castle.
The defending clan must defend their Bless Castle. By setting up a strategic fire, ice or poison towers and purchasing guards the defending clan can greatly increase their defenses.
You can access Bless Castle with the Neversink by visiting Sailor Jack, located in Ricarten Town.
The Bless Castle can be divided into two main parts; The exterior and interior part which consists of various elements.
Exterior: Post
This is the area where the Clans and Players can equip themselves using various shops to purchase potions, buff items and restoration.
Also this post is the normal zone which does not allow PvP.
- In order to retreat from the post to normal field you need to use a ether core or sail away with the Neversink.
Exterior: Normal and Free Battle Zone
The Bless castle fields separates largely into two zones of Normal and Free battle.
In normal zone no damage exchange is allowed so PvP is impossible but the minute you enter the free battle zone PvP is allowed and the Siege can take place.
- The normal and the free battle zone are the extension of flag line between the post and the Bless castle and the possibility of PvP is determined basing on this extension line.
Exterior: Bless Castle
The Bless castle is surrounded by the sea on all four sides so only way you can enter the castle is by the gate facing the post.

- The clan who owns the castle is free to move in and out of the castle at any time.
- Two forts are situated on each side of the castle gate which can be used by long range characters to defend the castle from challenging clan’s attacks.

Interior: Strong Fortification
The strong fortification inside the Bless castle are designed to protect the castle from the outer attacks and are particularly good use for the long range characters in defending the castle and standing ground in Siege warfare.
- The strong fortifications are situated at the east and south end of the castle and are symmetrical.
Interior: The Royal Palace
At the far end of the castle the gate to the Royal Palace is situated and the Valhalla tower can be found next to it.
The entry to the Royal Palace gate is forbidden at the moment.
