When the [[Kurzicks]] are having a good streak, the [[Kurzick-Luxon border]] will be pushed far into the [[Luxon]] territory. The Luxons are given a great advantage over the battle by having [[control point]]s closer to the Luxon base. ''The red image is the Luxon base, the blue, Kurzick. Kurzick teams either spawn at the Kurzick base, or at the two resurrection shrines at the top of the map, which begin the battle in Kurzick hands.''

This map seems to simulate a Kurzick attack on a stronghold deep in Luxon territory. The Luxons have a well-protected base in the center, while the remainder of the map consists of an area sculpted out of the [[Jade Sea]]. Around some of the control points are wooden constructions that a Kurzick siege force could have placed.

At the Luxon base there are two points to be captured, one with three rangers, and another with three warriors. Along the walls are also Luxon Elementalists, Necromancers, and Mesmers. The Southern part of the fort also has a permanent resurrection shrine which will kill Kurzicks that move up the stairs.

*Resurrection Shrines: There are two shrines in the northeast and northwest corners of the map, which start under Kurzick control. The Kurzick team will be split, with one squad spawning in each shrine and one in their main base at the start of the game. The northwest shrine spawns two [[Kurzick Army Mesmer]]s and one [[Kurzick Army Monk]] or two [[Luxon Army Mesmer]]s and one [[Luxon Army Monk]]. The northeast shrine spawns two [[Kurzick Army Elementalist]]s and one [[Kurzick Army Monk]] or two [[Luxon Army Elementalist]]s and one [[Luxon Army Monk]].

*Powder Kegs: Powder kegs can be used in a fashion similar to the [[Powder Keg]]s in the Southern Shiverpeaks, forcefully opening Luxon doors. These items also cause knockdown and set people on fire for 2 seconds. This happens to anyone near the keg when it blows up, friendly or otherwise.

*Repair Kits: These kits can repair the damage done by Kurzick powder kegs by fixing a broken door. Note that they cannot be picked up after being dropped, however. They function similarly to the [[Repair Kit]]s found in some Guild Halls.

The Luxons and the Kurzicks are at war. If the alliance battle has reached the Kaanai Canyon, then the Kurzicks have driven the Luxons back to their holdout position. Extra defenses and familiarity give the Luxons a definite strategic advantage here, no matter how the greater war is going. Each side in the alliance battle consists of three teams of four players (all three teams must be from the same faction) to create two squads of 12. The goal is to gain command of seven control points and by so doing, outscore your opponents. For further details regarding gameplay see the Alliance Battle page.

The Luxons have a strong advantage on this map, the Kurzicks are compensated for their disadvantage with an Underdog Bonus equal to 200% of their score, providing them with a total of 3 Faction per point scored.

Players may enter the opposing teams base to cap the internal shrines, however the southern part is guarded by a invulnerable, stationary NPC named Base Defender.

When this map is being played in Alliance Battles, the Kurzick-Luxon border has passed over 4 or more Jade Sea outposts.
