Empires are formed when Kingdoms decide to band together in an alliance. Everyone can found an Empire in Aether Kingdoms, but leading an Empire to victory is not an easy task.
On this page:
Empire
Each Empire can have up to 60 Kingdoms as members. You'll help each other with resources, army and by working on gaining Prestige.

Prestige
On the Prestige page, you can see the progress of your Empire. The first Empire to 250 prestige wins the game.
The Prestige page from the Empire
At the top of the page the total prestige is displayed. Below that are the three objective types that spawn during the game. Capturing these objectives will generate a lot of prestige. You'll need to work together with your Empire to capture and hold these objectives.
Milestones
The Milestones part of the Prestige page
The second way to earn Prestige is by playing the game and making progress on different milestones. There are 8 milestones to earn progress on:
- Weekly top 10 medals earned by the Empire.
- PvP attacker kills
- PvP defender kills
- Events completed
- Land owned, the number of tiles claimed on the map.
- PvE attacker kills
- PvE defender kills
- Resources won from objectives
Each milestone has 5 stages, with each tier giving increased prestige when achieved. For the different stages it's: 1, 2 (or 3 in total), 3 (6), 4 (10) and 5 (15) prestige.
Objectives
Objectives are a core part of gaining Prestige in Aether Kingdoms. There are only two ways for an Empire to gain Prestige: milestones and capturing objectives. Milestones alone are not enough to win, so you'll need to capture and hold objectives.

There a 3 types of objectives in Aether Kingdoms:
- Natural Landmark. Claim Natural Landmarks on the Map by defeating all defenders. A natural landmark generates 1 Prestige every week. They spawn after 8 weeks on a 1 speed server. Player-held landmarks have a wall level 10.
- Monument. Capture a building site and supply resources to construct a grand Monument. On completion, a Monument gives 10 Prestige and an additional 5 Prestige per week. If a completed monument is captured, it will be damaged and costs resources to restore. They spawn after 12 weeks on a 1 speed server, and activate so they can be built 2 weeks later. Player-held monuments have a wall level 5 while not completed and a wall level 20 when completed.
- Native Artifact. Native Artifacts appear late in the game and give 1 Prestige every day. Capturing and holding on to them can be the difference between a swift victory or a loss. They spawn after 20 weeks on a 1 speed server. A player-held native artifact has a wall level 10.
