Within each PvP Region, there is a Citadel. Once a week, each Citadel becomes vulnerable.
When a Citadel becomes Vulnerable, all Alliances can compete against each other to try and gain control over it.
Each battle costs a Citadel Sigil. Players will be given 6 Citadel Sigils per day.
These free daily sigils regenerate to a maximum of 6, but if the number owned is higher as a result of purchases made in the PvP shop, extra Sigils are not lost at Daily Reset.
The first 4 battles are PvP battles against players in different Alliances. The 5th and Final Battle is against a Citadel Guardian.
Citadel Guardians
The Citadel Guardian is a harder battle but is worth more points than the PvP Battles.
The Citadel Guardians defend their Citadels! A total of 4 Guardians will appear. 1 of these Guardians will only appear in the Central Spire Region while the other 3 will appear in other Regions' Citadels.
After battling the Citadel Guardian (win or lose), the player will move back to the PvP Battles to repeat the process until they fight the Citadel Guardian again.
As players progress through more battles, they will increase in difficulty. This applies to both PvP Opponents and Citadel Guardians.
Citadel Points
Players earn Citadel Points from battles in Citadel Wars in a similar way to earning VP from other PvP Battles. Each Citadel War lasts for 1 day, and the Alliance with the most points at the end of the day will be declared the winner.
Citadel Rewards
On Sundays, the Alliance that has won control over a Citadel will get to vote on the next week’s restrictions in that Citadel's Region. This applies to more than one Citadel if the Alliance has gained control over more than one.
Citadel Wars
When an Alliance wins a Citadel War, it will receive some rewards for their victory. The following day, after the Citadel War, the winning Alliance will receive a special Regional Bonus that will give Gold Marks instead of Silver Marks.
This special bonus will only apply to the Region the Citadel War was won, and it can only be received once by players of an Alliance Rank of Legionary VII or Higher.

Another reward the winning Alliance receives is the ability to do a Citadel Vote on the upcoming Weekly Troop Restriction in the Regions they’ve won.They’ll also be given the chance to vote on which Heroic Gem will have a chance to appear. This will appear as a choice between 3 options for both Troop Restrictions and Heroic Gems.
This voting lasts 24 hours after the last final Citadel War has ended for the week (Sunday for most people, depending on your time zone).
Citadel Voting applies to all Regions except Central Spire as it doesn’t have any Restrictions. Winning the Citadel in Central Spire will grant the winning Alliance additional Gold Marks instead.
