Dusk Caller working as intended?
I don't think this is a bug so much as a (perhaps) misaligned function, but as far as I can tell, when you use the Dusk Caller item it sends your thrall to the nearest cell -- not necessarily yours, mind you, but the nearest cell of anyone in your clan.
While this is amusing and could be fun as an option, it makes the functionality of the item much less useful. For example, if your base is in North Gloomrot and a friend's base is in Farbane forest and you capture a thrall in Dunley Farmlands, your thrall will go to Farbane (as far as I can tell) if it happens to be slightly nearer. This is actually the opposite of useful, as you've increased the distance to get it home.
Please consider correcting this, or even have the suggested use above as an optional "upgrade" perhaps or something you can toggle between self/clan.

Nick Davison MergedBRANCH: Live
REPORT:
Charmed NPC's are sent to a guild members castle by dusk caller runes.
Obviously this is not Ideal, I would not put loot in a guild members storage, nor do I want my charmed prisoners in their prisons.
(No game mods, to reproduce use dusk caller on charmed NPC whilst guilded)
Have you tried any solutions?

BipolarBearI think the main issue with this is that castles are named after the people in the clan, instead of the clan name and the person who put the heart down. While it may be fine for those clans with 1 castle, when you've got 9 castles built across the server it's difficult figuring out which one it goes to.

FlayedAngelMaybe one solution would be making it an item with multiple charges (instead of a stackable one-use item) that can be "attuned" to a particular heart?

HeyworthHello, when using the dusk caller you should send it to your cell, and not that of anyone in the clan (which could even be yours if it's the closest one), the clan functions are mixing things up, you should have some permissions to release other members edit your castle or pick up your items from chests and workbenches. When you join a clan, you become everyone else's everything, what if ingame thieves start popping up? you join the clan and they do the cleaning, that's serious...

Witchtime MergedWhile in a clan and when you use dusk caller, if someone in your clan has an open cell it's a random toss up where your captured servant gets sent instead of limiting the choice to only your prison cells.

Ilya MergedThe description of the Dusk Caller item says that the controlled character will be taken to the prison of YOUR kingdom. However, the term kingdom does not mean that CLAN falls under it. Adjust the terminology used in item descriptions, or add a detailed explanation of how item mechanics work.
В описании предмета Dusk Caller говорится о том, что подконтрольный персонаж будет доставлен в тюрьму ВАШЕГО королевства. Однако термин королевство не говорит о том, что под него попадает КЛАН. Скорректируйте терминологию, используемую в описании предметов либо добавьте подробное объяснение работе механики предметов. -

Joseph Glover Mergedwhenever a member of my clan sends a prisoner with the dusk caller it ends up in my prison cell. I did a bit of an experiment and determined that it does infect send your prisoner to the nearest available call in the clan. don't know if it's suppose to be that way but it kind of seems like a bug and that it should send it to your own prison.

IrishWolf Lythi MergedI used a dusk caller when my own castle did not have enough prison cells and the human went to a fellow clan members castle. When I created more prison cells in my own castle and captured a different human the second human also was sent to my clan members castle instead of mine when using another dusk caller, the same happened with a third human.
Steps to reproduce, while in a clan:
- Build one prison cell in own castle.
- Clan member to also build one prison cell on their castle.
- Dominate a human X and use dusk caller.
- Dominate another human Y and use dusk caller.
- Build second prison cell in own castle.
- Dominate a third human Z and use dusk caller.
Expected results:
- Dusk caller use results in human X being sent to own castle. When trying to dominate human Y and Z a warning is given.
Actual results:
- Dominated human Y and Z are sent to clan members castle even when enough prison cells are present in own castle. -

Jimmy MergedWhen transporting a prisoner back to a cell via the Dusk Caller, the prisoners are going into any available prison cell within your clan, rather than an available cell owned by the person who used the Dusk Caller. I feel like this behavior could be improved to favor the person who initiated the action first as whose cells receive the prisoner, then if those are full, transport the prisoner to any available within the clan.

EclipseHavenThank you for posting this, I really hope this isn't "working as intended". In a suggestion post I optioned the following fixes:
1. Simply have it go to your castle
2. The Dusk Caller will prompt for castle selection.
3. Assign Dusk Caller a specific cell prior to use. -

KekkaWhen you are using this item and destroy your free cell, the unit is disappering to nowhere.

MamagicarpeI guess it's not a bug but intended maybe? and the description is not so clear because it says "your castle", so we understand our "private castle", but our castles, if we are in a clan, are considered "castles of the clan" (In fact, next to the name of our castle, all the members are listed)
Of course, it will be handier if It could go to the empty cells of the private castle. In my game, this favors some castles positioned in the middle, over those in Farbane for example. My castle is in the middle of the map so for now, all prisoners are sent at my place for a fiesta :D -

Samarex MergedIssue with Dusk Caller Stone. It transports to nearest Prison. This works fine unless you are in a Clan. It sends it to the Nearest Prison but it could be a clan members prison. So to get that Human I would need to go to his prison and walk it all the way to my Castle. ( It should defualt to one of the members prison first.
