Once castle ownership is achieved several things will happen inside and around the Castle:

A large bonfire will appear in the place of The Heart of RagaKo.

Walls that can't be attacked are added to the East and West Castle entrances.

When the East OR West Gate has been killed:

There is a (15) minute delay between killing the RagaKo East or West Gate and before the Spawn of the Heart of RagaKo to give attacking parties ample time to take control of the Castle before the Stone spawns
