Royal Tourneys
A Royal Tourney is a crown Seat's weekly individual duel ladder, held at the castle entrance square in its city. It runs when the holder proclaims the Royal Tourney edict. It is a distinct PvP venue from the scheduled 20-minute player guild Tourney over an unheld Charter.
Find and enter the ring
- Open the crown Seat's Seat tab and check that a Royal Tourney is proclaimed for the current week.
- Go to that crown's city and castle entrance square.
- Use the Seat tab's contender or spectator entry and wait for the ring's ready prompt. Contenders must be in the same crown city.
- Challenge a contender from their profile card. The other contender challenges back to accept.
The separate ring admits its contenders and watchers; entering a town normally does not enter the Tourney. Leaving the city or the Tourney connection leaves that venue.

Find several opponents rather than relying on a single repeated pairing. Check the Seat tab's current week and prize before travelling: a crown without that week's edict has no Royal Tourney to enter. General Charters, influence and edicts are described under Guild seats and sieges.
