The Elite Alliance Challenge

Event Timeframe
Until September 1st 11:59p.m.

Event Info
This event is geared towards the creation of Alliances by experienced Commanders who will help turn new players into powerful, epic players. If you believe you are already a great player and can help other players, we urge you to take the reins and create an Alliance.

The same goes for elite Alliance members. If you have the guts to join a smaller alliance instead of the largest Alliances in the Kingdom, you will be richly rewarded.
Why join someone else’s gang when you can lead your own?

Rewards
Prize is as follow:

Three days after the event ends, we will give out Gold to Alliance Commanders to distribute to the members. The commander can decide who in the alliance receive the Gold Coupon for members, though each member may only use 1. Notice there is a greater reward for joining a smaller alliance, and a bonus prize for all Alliance Commanders of alliances with 5 members or more.

Important
In order to join an Alliance you need to beat Baldwin IV of Jerusalem in the Holy Crusades Legion, then move to a Kingdom. Here is more info on Alliances.
Here is a guide to becoming an Alliance Commander including Emblem explanation.
