Welcome to the Neverwinter: Strongholds developer blog hub where you can find all our past, present and future blogs straight from our developers. These blogs will provide insight on not only the process of creating Strongholds, but also Neverwinter in general. So sit down by the fireside and enjoy!

Building a Stronghold Mayhaps your guild prefers to obtain the new gear as soon as possible? Or even to prepare for the incoming PvP mode? No matter your vision, it's your stronghold, your way. Guild leaders may set goals for their guild to focus on, but it's up to all the members to see these goals into fruition. Check what's in your inventory, for you never know what could be useful in bringing your stronghold to success.

Creating a Map This Big In our biggest map to date, players will need to trek through the hills of their Stronghold and its surroundings to raise various structures, fend off enemies and to have a place to call home. Guild members must travel all throughout this map to take part in multiple Heroic Encounters, which will further help grow their stronghold. They may also take part in the Greed of the Dragonflight encounter, which is a stronghold-wide battle that may become vital to your stronghold's success.

Stronghold Siege PvP PvP in Strongholds is LIVE. Stronghold Siege is a 20 vs. 20 MOBA-like mode, which pits guilds against each other as they gather supplies, win the favor of a dragon and attempt to the destroy the enemy's guild hall.
