− | The Verdantine Sovereignty was a playable faction existing from the release of the game until May 28 2016. The faction controlled the islands of Verdantium (present-day [[Nova Balreska]]) and Perth. The leader, the Governor, was ordinarily elected by a democratic vote. However in late 2015, then-Governor Frauns proclaimed himself to be "Supreme Leader" of the faction, a title made official with the group rank changing its name accordingly. This marked the end of democratic elections in the faction. | + | The '''Verdantine Sovereignty''' was a playable faction existing from the release of the game until May 28, 2016.

| In May 2016, the faction declared war on the [[Verner Expedition]], with the Kingdom of [[Whitecrest]] joining the side of the Verner Expedition. Verdantium was soon defeated, resulting in its annexation and incorporation into Nova Balreska. Most members of Verdantium fled to the new nation of [[Hallengard]] (to which Verdantine player levels transferred to), whilst others became members of the [[Blackwind Pirates]] or stayed as new citizens of Nova Balreska. | | In May 2016, the faction declared war on the [[Verner Expedition]], with the Kingdom of [[Whitecrest]] joining the side of the Verner Expedition.
