Settlements are special locations scattered throughout the lands of Stormfall. Each Settlement pays its conqueror Tribute in one of four types of Resources - Gold, Iron, Food, Sapphires - or in Maranian Amulets. Be advised: you must be at Level 40 or above in order to capture Amulet Shrines and gain Maranian Amulets there.
There are three types of Settlements: Large, Medium, and Small.
The amount of Resources received from the Settlement per hour and the total amount of the Tribute available depends on its size. The larger the Settlement, the more Resources it can collect per hour, and the greater its total worth.
When all of the Tribute at a Settlement has been collected, or its time limit expires, it will disappear from the Map. Once the Settlement disappears from the Map, the Units that were garrisoned there return to their Castle.
Go to the Eagle's Nest to detect new Settlements. Every new Settlement starts off vacant and unguarded, so be the first to find new ones!
