⚔️ KvK S8 — «Surtr's Flames»

By prophecy Surtr, the Fire Jotun with a flaming sword, will burn Yggdrasil, destroy the Multicolored Bridge and plunge Asgard into the fire of apocalypse — doom threatens both the gods and the mortals of the Nine Worlds. Odin granted each warrior a "Blessing of Frost" so that mortal bodies could withstand the world-destroying fire. The Vikings formed the Legion of Bounty and the Allied Legion and set out for Muspelheim — to slay Surtr, overcome his Hellish Legion and extinguish the flames.

Season periods

1. Election Period. The kings of the Team's Kingdoms vote for a captain.
2. Preparation Period. Accumulate combat preparation points — donate Frost Tears in the "Silence of the Flame" event.
3. Path Stage. The Team captain can manually change the starting zones of the Kingdoms in Muspelheim.
4. Battle Period. The main battles; toward the end the Seasonal Summon opens in the Hall of Valor.
5. Settlement Period. Tallying results and handing out season rewards.

Chronicles — 23 stages

Chronicles are the spine of a season: each stage unlocks new content on the map. Key milestones:

• "Beginning of the Expedition" — the starting stage of the march
• "Capture of the City I–IV" — four stages of the struggle for cities
• "Surtr's Hand," "Surtr's Spine," "Surtr's Mouth" — stages of the cascade of ruins lv. 7–9
• "Surtr, the Fire Jotun" (stage 19) — the turn of the central Wonder
• "Breakthrough I–IV" — four breakthrough stages
• "Rally Counterattack I–II" — the pre-final raid stages
• Three settlement phases: initial, middle and final

Key objects

• Surtr, the Fire Jotun — the central Wonder (ruin lv. 10) at the heart of Muspelheim; the Team holding it at the end wins
• Surtr's Hand, Spine and Mouth — ruins lv. 7/8/9; capture grants buffs to the whole Battalion
• Kingdom Fortress — the Kingdom's base; repair in 2 stages grants buffs and supplies, after which — a choice of territory color
• Legion Fortress — 8 fortresses in the outer regions; control grants points, buffs add up
• Catapult Towers — 4 towers around Surtr; an enemy tower strikes Surtr's defenders every 5 minutes, and troops die
• Hellish Forge and Hellish Abyss — battlefields: cannot be occupied, you must push out the enemy; troops accumulate hero experience
• Strategic City with Chapels — siege: take down the City Marshal and demolish the Chapels (the city's durability)
• Team Airfield — one per legion on each cardinal direction (8 total)

Season mechanics

• Donation Multiplier (new in S8) — Team preparation points = a multiplier from the number of Kingdoms × Chiefs' points; personal points have no multiplier
• Asymmetric 2 vs 6 battle — the Legion of Bounty on victory receives multiplied Team rewards
• Divine Awakening — a choice of 1 of 3 divinities: Heimdall (rallies and garrison defense), Tyr (map battles), Freya (resource gathering and Team buffs)
• Territory Without Forts — tribe forts and flag towers cannot be built; borders grow only by capturing cities and ruins
• Battalions — the Team's tribes unite: shared rallies and reinforcements, sharing of first-capture bonuses
• Lava Statue — a rune monster (one battalion, without spending energy, respawns 00:00/12:00 UTC); rune scrolls give temporary buffs
