The Marennon Stronghold, a vast complex hidden deep within Anhr'even, will provide the ultimate test for your army.
While the Marennon Stronghold Siege Tournament is on, you must collect Stronghold Scrolls, enter Stronghold Chambers, and annihilate the Orcish Hordes who dwell within them. The more Chambers you clear, the better will be your Rewards and the higher you will climb in the Rankings.
This Tournament is available to players at Level 40 and above who have built both the Eagle's Nest and the House of Lords.
You can earn Tournament Points when you:
- Clear Battlegrounds
- Enter Chambers of the Marennon Stronghold
- Clear Chambers of the Marennon Stronghold
When the Tournament begins, Stronghold Scrolls will become available as Rewards for conquering Battlegrounds and completing Tournament Tasks.
Entering and Clearing Stronghold Chambers
Once you have collected a set of five Stronghold Scrolls, you will be able to enter a Stronghold Chamber and engage the Marennon who dwell there.
To clear a Chamber, you will need to successfully attack or defend it. Having done so, you must once again collect a set of five Stronghold Scrolls before you can enter the next one. Bear in mind that once you choose to attack a Chamber you cannot switch to defending it, and vice versa.
You can only enter one Chamber of the Stronghold at a time, and Chambers can only be entered sequentially.
If you clear the twentieth Chamber, you can collect another set of Stronghold Scrolls, enter the twentieth Chamber again, and clear it of enemies to earn extra Rewards and Tournament Points. You may do this up to 40 times.
Remember, even if you have entered the twentieth Stronghold the maximum number of times, you can still earn Tournament Points by clearing Battlegrounds and Saga Quest Battlegrounds, and you can continue to complete Tournament Tasks to acquire Stronghold Scrolls which can be traded at the Market.
If you enter a Chamber but do not clear it before the Tournament ends, you will still be able to access it from the Eagle's Nest. You can continue to fight in the Chamber until you clear it in order to earn Rewards, but you will not receive Tournament Points.
Stronghold Scrolls
Stronghold Scrolls contain the vital information you need to find your way to the Chambers within the Marennon Stronghold.
To enter a Chamber, you will need to collect a set of five Stronghold Scrolls. While the Tournament is on, they can be earned as Rewards for victories at Battlegrounds as well as for completing Tournament Tasks.
Tournament Tasks will refresh each day at 0:00 UTC. Be warned that when Tasks refresh, incomplete Tasks will be replaced by new ones, and any progress you have made on those Tasks will be lost. If you have completed Tasks with unclaimed Rewards, you will have until the end of the Tournament to claim those Rewards.
You can also trade Stronghold Scrolls with other players at the Market, and send them as gifts.
When the Tournament ends, any Stronghold Scrolls you hold will be lost.
Rewards
When you clear a Chamber, you will receive Rewards similar to those you can earn at Battlegrounds. You will also earn a Reward from the "Rewards List" in the Tournament tab of the Event window.
The further you progress through the Chambers, the greater the chance you will receive the most valuable Rewards on the List, and the more Tournament Points you will earn for each Chamber you clear.
Just like with Battlegrounds, if you gain little from clearing Marennon from Stronghold Chambers do not despair, for every enemy you defeat increases the odds of a larger payout next time.
Upon completion of the Tournament, you will earn further Rewards if you have amassed enough Tournament Points to take one of the top spots in the Rankings for your Tier or gain a place in the Elite Tier.
