=== Description ===
Castle Siege in Valley of Loren is one of the biggest guild wars in MU. Guilds fight to control the castle and secure powerful weekly advantages.

This is not only a territorial battle. It is also a test of guild organization, timing, and teamwork against both players and event mechanics.

The guild that owns the castle at the end of the siege gains control benefits and access to valuable castle systems.

=== About the Event ===
* Castle Siege is available on the global Crywolf server environment.
* To enter Valley of Loren, move from Lorencia coordinates 239, 13.
* Valley of Loren is a PvP area. During siege, participants can attack enemy participants without using Ctrl.
* Non-participating players can be present in the map, but they cannot capture the castle.
* If the owner guild is disbanded, castle ownership is automatically removed.

=== Requirements ===
* The participating guild must have a Guild Master with at least level 200.
* The participating guild must have at least 20 members.

=== Main Objective ===
* To win, the Guild Master must register the guild seal on the crown at Dragon Tower.
