In this picture, AD has all the Scrolls.

The end caps of the Scrolls denote the Alliance - yellow end caps for AD are placed in AD'S scroll temples, red end caps for EP's Scrolls, and blue end caps for DC's Scrolls.

The middle sections are purple for a defensive scroll and orange for an offensive scroll. You need to place enemy Scrolls in a home keep in order to get the buffs. Your alliance may have specific places for where to put the scrolls depending on how the map looks at the time.

Your alliance has to have their home defensive scroll before they can capture the enemy(s) defensive Scrolls. Likewise, you need your Offensive scroll safely in your scroll temple before you can capture enemy Offensive Scrolls.

AD Defensive - Mnem
AD Offensive - Altadoon
DC Defensive - Alma Ruma
DC Offensive - Ni-Mohk
EP Defensive - Chim
EP Offensive - Ghartok

So in that picture, it looks like EP's scroll of Ghartok is real close to DC territory, right? Well, DC can't touch it until they first capture Castle Blackboot and take safely lodge their Elder Scroll of Ni-Mohk back at their scroll temple.

I was told that Altadoon must be taken before Mnem can be taken, but I've occasionally seen Altadoon taken before Mnem.

So, is there an order for taking scrolls or a prerequisite?

The short(ish) answer is no... if everyone has their own scrolls. If you're EP and you have both of your own scrolls, you can go after offensive or defensive scrolls from the other factions.

Some people might prefer to get one or the other first, but as long as your faction has both their own scrolls, any scroll they want and can get is up for grabs.

But as has been mentioned by many others, if your faction is missing a particular scroll (offensive or defensive) they have to get that scroll type back before they can go get the same type of scroll from a different faction.
