Sieges and Banner Capturing

Each camp has a Banner, and capturing it is one of the main ways to earn Dragon Eggs during DrachenFest.

Capturing a Banner:

• Only a Banner Carrier (designated by the camp and wearing a special belt) can move a banner.

• Banner Carriers are immune to attacks, but they can’t fight, cast spells, or run.

• To capture a banner, your team must siege the camp, win the battle, and have your Carrier walk it out slowly under Ref supervision.

• You can’t drop a banner or pass it to someone else. If the Carrier is surrounded, they must surrender.

What is a Siege?

A siege is a full-scale battle where one camp attacks another’s base:

• To start a siege, attackers must break through the front gate using a Large Monster or War Machine.

• Once inside the courtyard, attackers must defeat or outnumber all defenders for 5 minutes.

• Only then is the banner unanchored and capturable.

Defending Your Banner:

• Camps can fortify their gates before the game begins. Stronger defenses take longer to break.

• Once breached, the gate remains open until repaired (which can’t happen during a battle).

• If your banner is captured, it can be summoned back the next morning with a ritual at your camp’s Dragon Shrine.

Sneaky Captures:

You can capture a banner without a full siege if:

• The gate is open, and no defenders are present in the courtyard.

• A Ref is present and approves the capture.

• Your Carrier walks it out visibly and slowly.

Scoring:

• 1 Dragon Egg is awarded for each enemy banner brought back to your camp and turned in to your Avatar.

• Another Egg is awarded for each banner your camp controls at the end of war hours (9 PM daily, noon on Saturday).
