Would be cool to see them expand on this in the future. Maybe something like campaign, and be a way to get a few GC seals. I assume the claiming feature is the same as always, which could maybe be changed for only events like this. It wouldn't make sense if people were meant to rally together to defend our areas, and the fights becoming a claim battle.

Though yes, I do realize this is a flavor event that is probably leading up to something bigger Good find.
