Summary

The Verdantine Sovereignty is a former Tradelands faction and was one of the original three factions included in the game at release, previously controlling the islands of Verdantium (present-day Nova Balreska) and Perth. It usually decided its leader, the Governor, by a democratic vote. In May 2016, Verdantium declared war on the Verner Expedition, and the Kingdom of Whitecrest joined the side of Verner. Verdantium was soon defeated, resulting in its annexation by the Verner Expedition, which went on to reform into Nova Balreska. Most members of Verdantium fled to the new nation of Hallengard (to which Verdantine player levels went to), while others became members of the Blackwind Pirates or stayed as new citizens of Nova Balreska.

Trivia

The Verdantine Sovereignty is referenced in the glowie material Verdantium and in multiple ways in the Sword and Star Tavern on the island of Verdantium (home island of Nova Balreska).

Shortly before the public release of Tradelands, Governor Milbert23 ordered a large cannon battery to be placed on the south end of the island, but Nahr_Nahrstein jokingly responded by adding a large Duracell AA battery instead. He later placed a conventional cannon battery there, but the giant battery still exists inside the southernmost house on the island.

The Verdantine Sovereignty contained many Russian references, such as the dockmaster and the shipwright, who are named Demitri Dubovedev and Vladimir Wooten respectively, as well as the ranks of "proletariat" and "bourgeoisie" (which are commonly used terms in the Russian Revolution) within the Verdantine Sovereignty group.

In response to attempts to restore the Verdantine Sovereignty, a public announcement was made that "Verd is never coming back".
