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 is a former tradelands faction. It usually decided its leader, the Governor, by a democratic vote, and was one of the original factions included in the game at release. The faction was removed from the game following its annexation by the [[Verner Expedition]] to create the nation of [[Nova Balreska]]. Members of Verdantine fled to the new nation of [[Hallengard]], 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. 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.

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.

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.
