Game play and win condition
Each team of players or herald selects a single player to be the King.
Win condition: When team's king is killed, the respawn is closed; play continues until all but one team has no remaining players.
Healer/Medic variant: Opposed to a standard spawn point, the king may act as the spawn. When a player dies they must sit down at the location of their death. The player remains dead until the king touches them, at which point they are alive again.
Additional notes
At Ragnarok, The king battle takes place to determine the unofficial king of Ragnarok. Any would be kings gather their armies and battle for the title of "King of Dagorhir."
Some variants allow for the king to have stone skin.
