Defenders of Stoneguard Castle, wielders of the Titan Cargo, and legends of Solisium. How will you be remembered? As the First Defender? Or the group that struck them down?

Those who conquer Stoneguard Castle control Solisium, but the First Defender is more than just a force to acquire. It manages the castle, tax rates, when certain items can be purchased, and the Tax Delivery. With absolute power comes absolute opposition. Thousands will rise in pursuit of their downfall. For only one champion can sit atop Solisium.

Selection Process

Right now, the seemingly impenetrable throne room of Stoneguard Castle remains vacant. Beyond its tranquil walls, war rages on as the coveted position of First Defender beckons. Guild Rank, accumulated via activities like guild PvP modes and Contracts, grants successful groups rewards and powerful skills, such as the ability to control the weather.

Most importantly, the Guild Rank leader will earn the right of ascension at the following times:

• Early access servers:

  • For all regions except Japan, the guild that’s in first will become the First Defender when the current ranking updates at 00:00 local server time on October 25.

  • For Japan, the First Defender will be decided at 00:00 local server time on October 26.

  • Note: The First Defender will be determined based on the current rank section of the leaderboard, not the real-time ranking.

• Launch servers:

  • All regions outside of Japan will select their First Defenders on October 30.

  • Japan will determine their First Defender on October 31.

• Once the guild rankings lock at 00:00 local server time, the First Defender will receive ownership when the Brilliant Growth milestone ends.

As the First Defender, they’ll execute the first Tax Delivery and defend Stoneguard Castle during the first Castle Siege. All future defenders will be crowned upon claiming the throne.

Thanks for your support! We can’t wait to announce the First Defenders and look forward to watching the first Castle Siege unfold.
