By occupying the Altar of Ashes, Governors can receive a small amount of Honor Points. Each Governor can also dispatch up to three troops to the Altar of Darkness and surrounding areas.

Alliance Stadium Pioneer Experience

A new Alliance Stadium building will also arrive as a pioneer experience in Heroic Anthem.

The leader of an alliance occupying the Crusader Fortress can assign stadiums to alliances within the same camp. Assigned alliances can then construct the Alliance Stadium.

Alliance Stadiums feature two fixed teleport locations. Only Governors who teleport to these locations can dispatch troops to participate in stadium duels, while cities at these locations cannot be attacked.
