Northwatch Castle

Description
One of the Land Control areas added during the Ancient Powers event. Northwatch Castle is located in North Osteth not far from Neydisa Castle at 81.5N 25E. In the middle of the castle is a tunnel leading down to a 180+ portal to the Northwatch Castle Black Market. The portal may only be used by members of the Society currently controlling the fort.

Every 68 hours the Blight returns and three Creeping Blight banners appear in three locations. Faction members that are Player Killers can touch the flag to take control, after which other faction PKs can try to take a flag by inflicting damage on it, then touching the new Blight Banner that appears. Once all three flags have been controlled by the same faction for 5 minutes the castle the banners disappear and for the next 68 hours the castle will be controlled by that faction. See Land Control for more details.

Crystal Array
The fort was updated in the What Once was Lost event and now features a platform above the fort. An Crystal Array spawns 27 hours after the fort has been claimed. If the crystal is destroyed, the fort once again becomes neutral allowing another society to take control of the fort. After claiming the fort, a NPC spawns (for 5 minutes) that hands players Braced Mana Forge Key's.
