Every great Warden begins with knowledge.

What is Valtheryn?

Valtheryn is a persistent multiplayer strategy game where each Warden develops one settlement inside a shared kingdom. Build your economy, train increasingly capable troops, research permanent advantages, support an alliance, and compete for Oathenreach.

Your first day in the realm

1. Find the bottom navigation: Kingdom · Settlement · Army · Guardian · Infirmary · Research · Alliance · Events · Trade · Shop.
2. Review your settlement: check your completed Keep level, ordinary resources, troops, protection, and available upgrades.
3. Meet your Guardian: choose a cosmetic identity, review the seven equipment slots, and forge an affordable Ironbark piece when ready.
4. Start your independent queues: begin one construction project, one training order, and one research project when affordable.
5. Claim the free Shop delivery: open Shop → Featured and collect your once-daily ordinary-resource supplies.
6. Choose your daily objectives: complete any five of nine available tasks; use your one free reroll if a task does not suit you.
7. Explore the frontier: occupy open deposits, complete peaceful civilian expeditions, or challenge a frontier bounty.
8. Join an alliance: coordinate defenses, rallies, and Oathenreach; caravans unlock after Keep level 3 and 12 hours of settlement age.
9. Open Events: inspect the current four-hour competition, claim placement rewards, and check the Oathenreach weekend schedule.

Kingdom, settlement, and Warden level

The kingdom is the shared map, every player settlement, 160 resource deposits, alliances, competitions, and Oathenreach. Your settlement is your individual base. Your Warden is the commander whose separate experience level increases through play.

Resources, gold, gems, and manuscripts

Ordinary resources accrue with building production, occupied deposits, completed doctrines, and applicable Crown Holder bonuses. The server processes up to 24 hours of ordinary-resource catch-up when a settlement returns.

All 11 settlement buildings

Only one building upgrade can be under construction at a time. Benefits apply when the timed order finishes, and no supporting building may exceed the completed Warden’s Keep level. Construction is separate from your research, training, and healing queues.

Troops, training, and company capacity

Open Army in the bottom navigation to train Infantry, Archers, Cavalry, and Elite Guard. Each training order consumes ordinary resources, occupies the military queue, and finishes after its real-time countdown.

Companies may contain as few as one trainee. Elite Training, Drillmaster Corps, and Mythic Armaments improve training speed; Quartermaster Corps and Expeditionary Supply improve training economy. Troops become available when their training timer completes.

Settlement power, visible rank, and deployed troops

Settlement power combines your Warden progression, completed building levels, finished research, and the real attack-and-defense strength of every surviving troop you still own. The kingdom sorts settlements by this value to determine public rank.

• Completed buildings increase power: Keep, Barracks, Archive, production buildings, and every other completed settlement building each contribute their weighted development value.
• Newly completed training increases power: troop quality matters because each unit contributes its actual attack and defense values.
• Finished research contributes power: advanced doctrines and higher completed levels add weighted development strength.
• Deployed survivors still count: troops marching, guarding deposits, reinforcing allies, joining rallies, or defending Oathenreach remain part of your total power and kingdom rank.
• Deployed troops are unavailable for home defense: their absence changes the settlement garrison, not the ownership-based public ranking.
• Combat losses and wounded troops can reduce immediately available strength: successful treatment restores recovered units to active service.
• Map settlement labels show settlement level and kingdom rank: your own location is labeled YOUR SETTLEMENT.

Research branches and permanent bonuses

The Verdant Archive offers 119 doctrines: 44 foundational and 75 advanced. Each doctrine belongs to one of six selectable research categories, with its own progression tree, earlier-doctrine requirements, and permanent completed bonuses. Completed effects are consumed by the authoritative production, training, movement, scouting, trade, recovery, attack, defense, rally, and Oathenreach calculations—not merely displayed in the interface.

Only one research project runs at once. Advanced projects require completed Keep and Archive levels, earlier doctrine ranks, ordinary resources, and earned-only manuscripts. Research benefits and competition points apply only when the project finishes.

Five flexible daily objectives and login rewards

Valtheryn presents nine daily objective choices, but you only need to claim five to earn the complete daily progression reward. Most objectives accept peaceful, solo, healing, or progress-based alternatives. One unclaimed objective can be replaced with Flexible Warden Duty once per UTC day.

Alliance membership, roles, and leadership

An alliance supports up to 50 Wardens. Membership makes allied settlement defense, lawful resource caravans, combined rallies, Oathenreach garrisons, and shared crown bonuses possible.

• Join an existing alliance when a membership slot is available, or create your own alliance for 2,000 gold.
• Alliance Hall sections: Overview, Operations, Members, Rallies, and Activity; plan privately, search members, inspect allies, reinforce, locate, trade, and coordinate rallies.
• The private Operation Board supports six record types: target markers, reinforcement requests with troop goals, scheduled rally plans, Oathenreach operations, alliance objectives, and expiring notices.
• Readiness is visible to the alliance: eligible members can answer Joining, Maybe, or Unavailable, and the board shows live counts plus the response roster.
• Operation permissions are configurable: the Leader chooses whether Recruit, Officer, or Leader is the minimum role for each operation type and for closing operations.
• Targeted operations create private map markers: only members of the operation's alliance receive them. Marker actions can locate the target or open the correct reinforcement, rally, or temple control.
• The Leader can promote, demote, or remove eligible members and transfer alliance leadership directly from the Members roster.
• Leadership transfer is explicit: the selected member becomes Leader and the former Leader becomes an Officer.
• Alliance members cannot attack or scout one another. Friendly settlements appear with green map markers.
• Reinforce allied settlements within their defensive reinforcement capacity; each Warden can recall their own contributed defenders. Capacity begins at 850 and grows with the Alliance Embassy, Keep, Layered Ramparts, Beacon Network, Counterassault Drills, and Citadel Aegis, reaching 21,900 when all contributing progression is complete.
• Trade is alliance-only and requires the sender to have Keep level 3 and a settlement at least 12 hours old.

World map, settlement labels, and 160 resource nodes

The expanded 16,000 × 10,000 shared realm contains 160 food, wood, stone, and gold deposits, real player settlements, and central Oathenreach. NPC settlements and seeded NPC alliances are not part of the live realm. Drag to pan and scroll to zoom. For player privacy, the minimap shows only your settlement, Oathenreach, and the harmless camera viewport; it does not show other settlements or node landmarks and cannot be clicked to locate other Wardens.

Only five deposits may be occupied by one settlement at the same time. Occupation income and civilian expeditions reduce the shared reserve. Civilian workers visibly march outbound, gather for 45 minutes after arrival, and visibly return; resources and the earned manuscript are awarded only when they reach home. When a deposit is empty, stationed survivors march home; after 30 minutes the deposit respawns at a new safe location with a full tier reserve. A settlement Peace Seal does not make external resource-node garrisons immune to competition.

• Settlement locations are stable: combat, power changes, rank refreshes, and reloads do not move a base. Only a confirmed Waystone relocation changes its server-owned position.
• Castle artwork is level-aware and original: levels 1–29 retain their established layered castle. Only a completed level-30 Keep transforms the settlement into the larger, luminous Golden Crown Citadel with gold walls, towers, spires, crest, and prestige ring.
• Oathenreach is a fortified sacred citadel: its wider rectangular precinct, four tower masses, central nave, crown spire, battlements, stairs, banners, and illuminated windows share one matching hover and selection footprint.
• The realm landscape is procedurally original: organic grass variation, layered forests, meadow details, sacred causeways, water depth, river reflections, and resource landmarks are drawn by Valtheryn's own canvas code without third-party map art.
• Alliance operation markers are private: active targeted plans are drawn only for members of the owning alliance and disappear when completed, cancelled, or expired.
• Peace protection is visible: a protected settlement is surrounded by a luminous animated dome on the kingdom map.
• Deposits expose useful state: each resource landmark displays its tier and remaining reserve while retaining distinct food, wood, stone, or gold artwork.
• The Realm Navigator is alliance-private: its settlement results include only current members of your alliance, alongside live resource deposits. Enemy and unaffiliated settlements are excluded.
• Home and Oathenreach use their own map controls: neither is duplicated in the Navigator, and personal march routes remain in the dedicated march tracker.
• Moving formations are authoritative: the map no longer creates decorative patrols toward Oathenreach. Visible armies, rallies, scouts, caravans, and civilian workers correspond to real journeys.
• Map details respond to the pointer: hovering a settlement, live deposit, or authenticated formation adds a clear highlight and a concise identification tooltip.
• Oathenreach carries its own live plaque: the countdown is attached to the temple landmark, moves with it while panning and zooming, and shifts beside the temple when necessary to avoid the command dashboard.

Shop items, protection, and identity tools

Open the dedicated Shop tab in the bottom navigation. Its departments are Featured, Speedups, Protection, Supplies, and Identity.

How to teleport your settlement

1. Check your inventory: new settlements receive one Settlement Waystone; additional Waystones cost 15,000 gold in Shop.
2. Find open land: pan around the Kingdom map and select an available grassland position.
3. Review the destination: inspect the coordinates and ensure the land is not blocked or too close to a protected object.
4. Confirm the move: choose “Teleport settlement here”; one Waystone is consumed and your settlement relocates.

Legal destinations cannot overlap another settlement, resource deposit, Oathenreach’s protected grounds, map boundaries, or restricted landmarks. Buy the Waystone once, then select open land directly; you do not need to reopen Shop for every move.

Settlement, deposit, and Oathenreach scouting

Successful reconnaissance reveals troop composition, attack strength, defense strength, and relevant combat bonuses that public settlement profiles intentionally hide. You can scout hostile settlements, opposing occupied resource deposits, and an enemy-held Oathenreach garrison while its weekend siege is active.

• Scouts have a base five-minute cooldown; applicable Espionage research reduces the wait.
• You cannot scout members of your own alliance or your own alliance’s Oathenreach garrison.
• Veil of Silence blocks military details for a protected settlement, its deposit garrison, and Oathenreach when the defending commander is protected.
• A blocked scout does not advance scouting quests or competition scoring.
• Defenders receive a danger notification identifying the hostile scout or warning their alliance about Oathenreach reconnaissance.

Settlement attacks, node battles, and fair combat

Combat compares the real strength and research bonuses of committed attackers against the actual defending garrison, allied reinforcements, relevant defensive doctrines, and battlefield-specific modifiers.

• Settlement attacks: travel by authenticated visible troop march; a win can plunder ordinary resources above the defender’s protected storehouse reserve.
• Settlement plunder is limited: at most 3% of each resource above protected storage, capped at 350 of each resource.
• A successfully raided settlement receives 30 minutes of automatic peace protection.
• Five-minute visual aftermath: a defeated castle crumbles and smokes without fire, then reconstructs automatically. This presentation does not move the settlement or replace the real casualty, infirmary, plunder, and peace calculations.
• Node battles: an enemy garrison can be attacked; winning transfers control only when the attacker has an available occupation slot.
• Allied defenders participate: reinforcements strengthen home defense and receive appropriate battle progression when they help win.
• Temple assaults and settlement rallies: use real committed troop contributions, commander bonuses, meaningful casualties, and battle reports.
• Peace Seals block hostile settlement attacks and outgoing offense; external node garrisons remain contestable.
• Friendly fire is prohibited: alliance members cannot attack or rally one another.

Visible outbound travel, return marches, and recall

Open-deposit occupation, settlement attacks, occupied-node battles, allied reinforcements, Oathenreach actions, alliance rallies, resource caravans, and civilian expeditions travel visibly across the kingdom. The server verifies the owner, destination, force or cargo, and arrival before resolving an action.

• Three personal march routes are available from levels 1–29; completing Keep level 30 permanently unlocks two more, for five simultaneous routes.
• Base maximum march size is 100 troops, plus 20 per Keep level above 1.
• Marching Banners adds 30 slots per level; Campaign Roads adds 20, while advanced doctrines provide further capacity.
• Forced March adds 8% speed per level; Campaign Roads adds 5%, with additional advanced movement bonuses.
• Recall a personal march before arrival to return its committed surviving troops safely.
• Recall turns a force around from its current location; it does not teleport the force home.
• Battle survivors are not instantly available: settlement and failed node attackers, recalled garrisons, rally survivors, and eligible Oathenreach contributors must complete the return journey to their own origin.
• Hostile targets receive incoming-attack alerts. If a settlement becomes protected before the hostile march arrives, the attack cannot bypass its shield.
• Defensive reinforcement marches and friendly Oathenreach garrison support remain available while Peace protection is active.
• Alliance resource caravans deliver only when they arrive, then visibly return to the sending settlement before that march route is available again.
• Civilian expeditions are complete journeys: workers march to the selected live deposit, spend 45 minutes gathering after arrival, and return visibly. Rewards are granted at home, not at dispatch or destination arrival.

Marches use original animated formations appropriate to their purpose: soldiers for military forces, a combined warhost for rallies, wagons for alliance caravans, and workers with a handcart for civilian expeditions. A deployed Guardian remains attached through outbound travel, combat, occupation, recall, and return—even when every accompanying troop is lost and the Guardian must return alone.

Oathenreach Temple and weekend occupation

Oathenreach opens every weekend for 48 hours: Saturday 00:00 UTC through Monday 00:00 UTC. Alliance membership is required to scout, occupy, reinforce, attack, or rally the temple.

1. Join an alliance and inspect the current Oathenreach status in the Events tab or on the Kingdom map.
2. Scout an enemy garrison when the sanctuary is open; an opposing commander’s active Veil may intercept the report.
3. Occupy an empty temple, reinforce a friendly temple, or attack an enemy-held temple.
4. Keep surviving troops stationed: successful occupation remains a real alliance garrison until defended, recalled, defeated, or the event ends.
5. Hold Oathenreach when the weekend timer expires: physical occupation at event close determines the winning alliance.

Your first eligible garrison contribution awards 10 gems once per temple season. At the event close, qualifying members of the winning alliance receive 75 gems and 300 XP; returning surviving temple contributors receive their eligible 25-gem, 120-XP participation reward.

Three-minute settlement and Oathenreach rallies

Valtheryn supports alliance rallies against enemy settlements and enemy-held Oathenreach. The player who starts the rally supplies its shared troop-capacity and march-speed rules. Every participant’s completed combat doctrines are calculated against that participant’s own contributed troops.

1. Select an eligible target: choose an opposing unprotected settlement or enemy-held Oathenreach during its open weekend.
2. Prepare the commander’s force: the strongest legal contribution is preselected instead of falling back to 20 troops. Choose 25%, 50%, 75%, or Max, use ±10 and ±50 controls, or fine-tune every troop type before confirming.
3. Recruit for exactly three minutes: alliance members receive invitations and use the same force builder. Commanders and members may add more troops before the timer expires while personal and shared capacity remains.
4. Launch automatically: when the three-minute recruitment window ends, the combined force begins a visible march to its target.
5. Resolve on arrival: each participant’s army, unit-type, rally, and Temple bonuses apply to that participant’s own troops; reports, casualties, kill credit, and rewards are distributed appropriately.

• One active rally per alliance per target. Different targets may be rallied simultaneously; Oathenreach has only one target, so only one Oathenreach rally can be active per alliance.
• Base rally capacity: 850 troops. Twenty capacity projects in the Temple branch now provide a long alliance-warhost progression. The original five remain, followed by fifteen increasingly demanding projects from Mustered Cohorts through Endless Banners.
• The commander cannot launch early. Recruitment automatically transitions into the visible rally march after three minutes.
• Only the initiating commander may cancel the entire recruiting rally. Other participants may withdraw only their own contribution before launch.
• Protected Wardens cannot start or join offensive rallies; targets with an active Peace Seal cannot be attacked.
• Enemy settlements and defending alliances are warned when a hostile rally begins assembling.
• Each participant keeps personal limits: the shared rally cap does not let one member contribute more troops than that member’s own researched maximum march size.
• Adding troops is cumulative and validated: the interface shows personal slots and shared slots remaining, while the server prevents repeated additions from exceeding either limit.

All 20 rally-capacity projects

Dedicated Events tab and kingdom schedules

Open the Events button in the bottom navigation. The old side-of-screen events panel has been replaced by this dedicated area, where you can inspect active competitions, weekend schedules, standings, rules, and eligible reward claims.

Crown Holder title, seasonal rewards, and bonuses

The alliance physically occupying Oathenreach at the close of the weekend siege becomes the kingdom’s Crown Holder alliance until another qualifying event changes ownership.

Current crown ownership appears in the Events interface, alliance and player profiles, and the Oathenreach display. During the open siege, the temple separately identifies the alliance physically garrisoning it right now.

Danger alerts, alliance activity, battle reports, and Clear All

Battle reports separate the attacker and defender into clear force cards. Each card lists every recorded troop type sent, lost, and surviving, alongside attack and defense power, Guardian contributions, plunder where appropriate, and participating alliance commanders. Legacy reports that predate troop-by-troop history retain their aggregate casualty totals instead of inventing missing details.

How to grow as a stronger Warden

1. Use the whole bottom navigation: keep Settlement, Army, Infirmary, Research, Alliance, Events, Trade, and Shop working together.
2. Protect your opening days: preserve your 72-hour novice Peace protection until you are ready to remove it.
3. Keep four independent queues moving: construction, troop training, research, and eligible healing can progress at the same time.
4. Choose five reachable daily objectives: peaceful expeditions, healing, bounties, and timed progress make the full reward available to solo Wardens.
5. Claim free supplies: collect Shop → Featured supplies once each UTC day, then spend ordinary gold carefully on useful supply bundles.
6. Research practical capacity: improve training companies, march size, rally capacity, infirmary treatment, and protected resources before forcing risky battles.
7. Scout honestly and defend together: public rank is not a full troop report; reinforce allies and coordinate rallies against legitimate targets.
8. Match completed actions to the current competition: score only genuine qualifying actions, and respect the Frontier Dominion cooldown.
9. Time Oathenreach: the alliance garrison at the exact weekend close wins the crown; early control matters only if your alliance can hold it.

Settlement levels and independent timed queues

Your settlement level is the completed level of Warden’s Keep. Your Warden level increases separately through experience and awards 25 gems per level. A Warden can have a higher commander level than the settlement level.

• Each of the 11 settlement buildings can progress to level 30.
• Keep level 30 is a prestige milestone: the kingdom map replaces that settlement's established level 1–29 castle with the larger Golden Crown Citadel.
• Keep level 30 unlocks two additional personal routes: military marches, civilian expeditions, and alliance caravans share the resulting five-route allowance.
• No supporting building can exceed the completed level of Warden’s Keep.
• One construction order, one research project, one military training order, and one infirmary treatment order can progress independently.
• The new building level, practical bonuses, quest completion, and eligible Master Builders points apply when construction finishes.
• Construction costs and durations increase with building level and continue while the player is offline.
• Daily Settlement Builder can also be satisfied through 10 minutes of actual construction progress when a long upgrade will not finish that day.

Scholar Manuscripts and earned-only progression

Scholar Manuscripts are earned-only progression materials. They cannot be purchased in Shop, transferred through alliance caravans, or substituted for completed building and research requirements.

Advanced doctrines consume manuscripts according to their target research level. One crafted Peace Seal consumes two manuscripts, so weigh immediate protection against permanent long-term research progression.

Dedicated Moonwell Infirmary and wounded troop recovery

Open Infirmary directly from the bottom navigation. The dedicated treatment interface is separate from Army and shows wounded troop types, capacity, treatment cost, active healing orders, and recovery progress.

• Eligible casualties enter the wounded roster only when treatment capacity is available.
• Healing consumes food and gold and occupies one timed treatment queue.
• Completed treatment returns recovered troops to active settlement service.
• Treating five wounded troops can satisfy Daily Muster and Daily Rune Workshop alternatives.
• Losses beyond available infirmary capacity can become permanent.

Protected storehouses, shields, Peace crafting, and Guardian gear

Ironroot Storehouse

At level 1, the storehouse protects 1,050 of each ordinary resource against eligible settlement plunder. Each additional completed level increases the base protection by 550 per resource; Protected Storehouses research increases the protected total.

Runecrafter’s Workshop

Peace Seals prevent hostile settlement attacks and offensive commands. They remain enforceable during Annihilation. Defending allied settlements or reinforcing a friendly Oathenreach garrison remains allowed; externally occupied node garrisons are not immune to attack.

Guardian equipment acquisition

The Guardian Hall uses three compact sections: Guardian, Gear Sets, and Identity. Ironbark, Dawnsteel, and Oathforged pieces use ordinary settlement resources. Crownward Tier IV costs 450 gems per piece and Astral Tier V costs 900 gems per piece. Duplicate acquisition is blocked, equipment can change only while the Guardian is home, and the large portrait deliberately shows only the selected character—not armor drawn over it.

All six troop types, five tiers, and exact unit costs

Training-company formula

• Start with 10 troops per company; each Barracks level above 1 adds 2 slots.
• Expanded Barracks adds 10 slots per level; Grand Mustering adds 20.
• Regimental Quarters adds 8 slots per level; Grand Drillgrounds adds 12; Imperial Muster adds 15.
• Elite Training, Drillmaster Corps, and Mythic Armaments reduce training duration.
• Quartermaster Corps and Expeditionary Supply reduce applicable training costs.
• Higher military tiers require their completed doctrine and building gates; currency alone cannot bypass those requirements.

All research speedups, fair-use limits, and saved credit

• Purchase accelerators from Shop → Speedups and use them from the active Research project.
• Projects lasting five minutes or less can be fully completed using eligible research acceleration.
• Projects longer than five minutes can accelerate at most 70% of their original duration and must retain at least 30% natural study time.
• At Keep level 1, the daily acceleration allowance is four hours; each completed Keep level above 1 adds 20 minutes.
• The daily acceleration allowance resets at midnight UTC.
• Unused time from an oversized accelerator is saved as reusable research-speedup credit. It is not discarded.
• Saved credit can be applied to a later eligible research project while respecting the same daily and natural-study limits.
• Heavily accelerated research receives proportionally fewer Verdant Scholars competition points.

Complete reference: all 119 research doctrines

This reference reflects the current v0.44.0 game definitions. It includes 44 foundational doctrines and 75 advanced doctrines. Manuscript amounts shown for advanced research apply to its first level; higher doctrine levels require additional earned manuscripts.

Free Shop delivery by completed Keep level

Emergency militia safeguards

Emergency militia counts your entire owned force, including troops at home, marching, training, guarding deposits, reinforcing allied settlements, recruiting or marching in rallies, and defending Oathenreach. It is available only when that combined total falls below 10. It grants no gems, experience, objective progress, or competition points.

All 12 permanent Warden’s Path objectives

Every completed permanent objective also awards two Scholar Manuscripts alongside its applicable Warden experience and ordinary-resource reward. Each objective can be claimed once.

Alliance caravans, Keep 3 gate, and transfer limits

Alliance caravans transport ordinary food, wood, stone, or gold only between verified members of the same alliance. The sending settlement must satisfy both anti-funneling requirements before Trade becomes available. Cargo leaves immediately, is delivered only on arrival, and the wagon must complete its visible return journey.

For example, a caravan carrying 1,000 food delivers 920 food after its 8% fee. If the recipient leaves the alliance before arrival, the full 1,000-food cargo returns to the sender. Gems, manuscripts, Shop items, and troops cannot be sent through ordinary resource caravans. You cannot trade with yourself or another alliance.

Six rotating competitions and verified placement rewards

Six competition types rotate in four-hour windows. Eligible activity is scored when the relevant action actually completes, even when a timed queue finishes while its owner is offline.

• At most 25 scored actions count for each Warden in each four-hour competition.
• A single scored action cannot exceed 1,200 points.
• Ties are decided by the earlier qualifying score time; actions beyond the 25-action cap cannot refresh a tied player’s timestamp.
• Frontier Dominion’s first qualifying claim scores immediately; subsequent scored claims require three minutes between qualifying score awards.
• Repeatedly reclaiming the same deposit does not create unlimited quest or leaderboard progress.
• Blocked scouts, emergency militia, frontier bounty camps, and direct purchases cannot be farmed for unearned competition points.

Placement rewards

Tabbed Warden profile, free rename, and march presets

The current Warden profile is a dedicated dossier with four sections:

Maximum march size

• 100 troops base, plus 20 per completed Keep level above level 1.
• Marching Banners adds 30 troop slots per level; Campaign Roads adds 20.
• War Academy and Ironbound Campaigns each add 15 slots per completed level; Legendary Host adds 25.
• Formation presets can fill the allowed maximum or prioritize stronger available troop types.
• Manual unit selection remains available. Keep levels 1–29 support three simultaneous personal routes; Keep level 30 supports five.

All Shop departments, free delivery, and gold supply bundles

The current Shop is opened from the bottom navigation and is organized into Featured, Speedups, Protection, Supplies, and Identity. The resource-header gem display is not a separate side-screen gem shop.

• Featured: claim the free daily Keep-scaled food, wood, stone, and gold delivery.
• Speedups: purchase research accelerators with earned in-game gems; oversized accelerators leave reusable saved credit.
• Protection: purchase 12-hour Peace Seals and Veils of Silence with gems.
• Supplies: purchase the seven listed food, wood, stone, and mixed supply bundles with ordinary in-game gold.
• Identity: purchase a 120-gem Warden Rename Scroll after using the free first name change.
• Relocation: purchase additional Settlement Waystones for 15,000 ordinary gold.

Frequently asked questions for Valtheryn v0.44.0

General frequently asked questions

Realm glossary and quick-reference terminology

Guardians, tiered equipment, and military deployment

Every Warden commands one Guardian. All Guardians begin with the same 120 attack and 120 defense; Verdant, Dawn, and Dusk male or female identities are cosmetic and never change strength.

Gear-set acquisition

Open Gear Sets in the Guardian Hall to expand one complete tier at a time. Each panel shows all seven pieces, their exact statistics, ownership, equipped state, progression gates, and acquisition cost. Duplicate purchases are blocked.

Exact statistics for every piece

Complete matching-set totals

Mixed-tier loadouts use the exact value of each equipped piece. Guardian attack is added to solo settlement and node assaults, a Guardian-bearing rally contribution, and Oathenreach offense. Guardian defense applies automatically at the home settlement while the Guardian is home and follows the Guardian when assigned to a node, allied reinforcement, or Oathenreach garrison. Reports identify the exact Guardian contribution used.

Returning from battle

The Guardian remains attached to its assigned force through travel, battle, occupation, recall, and the return journey. If every accompanying troop is lost, the Guardian still completes a Guardian-only return march before it can be equipped or deployed again.
