The Citadel of Trials is an ancient magical structure created as a prison to contain monsters, bandits, and traitors who threatened the world of Areldor.

According to legend, the Citadel was created by a secret order of mages and seal keepers connected to the energy of Astralite. They sought not only to isolate the most dangerous beings, but also to use their power as a tool of trials for future heroes.

Over time, the Citadel ceased to be merely a prison and became a system of trials. Prisoners are forced to fight again and again, while victors progress through the levels, unlocking increasingly dangerous challenges and rewards.

How the Citadel Works

Inside the Citadel, the hero enters a series of 1 vs 1 duels.

• Each opponent is stronger than the previous one
• Each victory grants gold
• Defeat ends the ascent but preserves the achieved progress

Gold is granted by the Citadel itself as a reward for clearing its levels - eliminating dangerous prisoners it cannot contain indefinitely and uses as part of the trials.

Location features

The magic of ancient seals completely isolates the arena from the outside world:

• Elements have no effect
• No weather influence
• No effects apply to enemies

Within these walls, only pure strength and skill determine the outcome.

At deeper levels, opponents possess more advanced combat techniques, as numerous battles within the Citadel have made them significantly stronger than their counterparts in the outside world.

Legends

Some believe that demons watch the trials through fractures within the Citadel, waiting for the one who can break the barriers of the world.

The Citadel can be found on the “Dungeon” page, under the “Citadel of Trials” tab.
