The citizens 　of the Imperial capital rely on the 　assistance of adventures who have 　arrived on the shores of the 　Aradjiah continent--the stage for the Treasures of Aht 　Urhgan expansion disc. &style=spacer01;　&style; &style=Ty14_4;　*You must have installed and registered the contents of the 　 FINAL FANTASY XI Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion disc in 　 order to participate in Besieged. &pre=01;　Adventurers must aid the Empire of Aht Urhgan in 　preventing the beastman armies from capturing the "Astral 　Candescence" --a treasure kept within the Imperial capital 　of Al Zahbi. In the event that the beastmen succeed, 　adventurers must invade the fortresses of the Empire's 　savage enemies and retrieve the candescence. 　The Astral Candescence is the key to victory. When it 　sits upon an Astral Plinth, its unearthly and undetectable 　melody infuses both people and beastmen alike with 　mysterious energy. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Defending the Capital&style; &style=spacer01;　&style; &li=　;When you participate in the defense of Al Zahbi, you will receive Imperial Standing and experience points (or limit points for characters level 75 or above who are in Limit Points mode). The size of this reward will depend on your level of contribution, and will be halved in the event that the defense of the city fails. If the beastmen succeed in capturing the Astral Candescence, the benefits that are usually associated with its presence in the city will no longer be available. The order to retrieve the Astral Candescence will be issued by the Empire, and adventurers must set forth to wrest the treasure from an Astral Plinth within the beastmen's lair.&li; &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Prisoners&style; &style=spacer01;　&style; 　When Besieged has ended, there is the chance that one or 　more NPCs in Al Zahbi have been taken prisoner by the 　beastman armies. These NPCs will disappear from Al Zahbi, 　which may result in the Auction House or certain shop 　services no longer being available. 　The captured NPCs can be freed by obtaining the necessary 　keys.
