24. Guild emblems must be visible and distinct when participating in War of Emperium. This means that your emblem cannot be "nothing" or an image with only two small letters on it; it has to be something that's big enough to be seen by other guilds. This also means you cannot copy opposing guild emblems in an attempt to fool them.

Loss of all guild castles
Temporary or Permanent ban of guild leader
