Gludio

Early hub and siege ground.

Gludio Castle Town — classic hub map
Gludio — first real town for many parties, and the castle that taught you siege night.

Why this place sticks

The first “real” town for a lot of parties — shops, gates, and the castle that taught you what siege night felt like. Gludio memories are half trade chat, half clan drama at the walls.

How Gludio changed over the chronicles

Towns on Live weren’t static — NCSoft rebuilt zones when the main story moved. Here’s the editorial map of which era changed what, and the lore reason when we know it.

  1. Prelude – Interlude

    First ‘real’ town for many parties

    Before Giran became the photo spot, Gludio was the workhorse hub — close to early hunting, Gludio Castle sieges, and the gates where PK stories started.

  2. Live (post-GoD)

    Incremental updates

    Gludio on modern Live carries the same name and castle, with art and service NPC passes from later sagas. Private Interlude shards preserve the older look.
