Headline

The Spring and Autumn Period

8 changes · no guild above 1 castle · no alliance above a third

The stage is set: ODIN has entered its Spring and Autumn period! Small and mid-sized guilds are merging into alliances, and the big alliances are fighting tooth and nail for their spot. Show weakness and you get devoured whole.

This war confirmed it: Season 1 war will be nothing like pre-season. Look at how fierce the sieges have become. No guild managed to hold more than one castle, and no alliance holds more than a third of all castles.

Azure

Young, new faces on the rise. Their guilds keep growing, with at least 70–80 members in this WoE. No longer a pushover, but not yet a force to be reckoned with. One to watch closely.

Not confirmed as an alliance, but it sure looks like one. Whether Secret and FEAT can draw more players and become bigger names on this board is yet to be seen.

The Last Gangster alliance still holds three castles: Last Gangster (Holy Shadow), Jing (Skoegul) and The Forsaken (Kriemhild). •[D]estraCtiOn• and Sustainer hold two between them. The Divinity and EQUILIBRIUM alliance also holds two. And finally, our Azure & RED alliance got one.

Guild Spotlight

This issue, let's focus on our three Filipino guilds!

The Forsaken

Out of the palace, into the fight

Rust Off, Gloves Off

In earlier issues we rarely saw The Forsaken fight. After staying rusty on defense at Scarlet Palace, today they are here to fight!

Opening move: a joint push into Sacred Altar that broke Illuminati's defense in one go!

Now, who doesn't know about the rivalry between The Forsaken and Illuminati? The Forsaken ditched Sacred Altar and followed Illuminati to Kriemhild. But first they had to push through Aurora, and RED & Azure.

Sustainer

More numbers, better gear, tighter discipline

Fiesta from the First Minute

Bolstered numbers, gear and discipline. Our smiling faces, the rival of Last Gangster, allied with •[D]estraCtiOn• in the last war. Today it was a fiesta from the moment the war started.

Sustainer and •[D]estraCtiOn• pushed together into Jing at Skoegul for 40 minutes, with an Emergency Call straight into the Emperium room. After almost an hour of fierce fighting they pulled out, pushed into Divinity at Gondul, and finally settled in The Forsaken's old home, Scarlet Palace.

Illuminati

Down, but not out

A Bad Day, A Great Fight

Not the best day for Illuminati, but they put up a great fight. They were left without a home after taking a beating from their rival, The Forsaken.

As soon as the war started, the whole Last Gangster alliance came at them, with an Emergency Call straight into the Emperium room. Now they have allied with Divinity and EQUILIBRIUM: a new major faction to be reckoned with.
