'''Hallengard''' was a formerly-democratic faction that resided upon Isle Hallengard (now known as "Fort Verner"). Hallengard was a nation comprised of mercenaries, former pirates, and former citizens of the [[Verdantine Sovereignty]] who fled there following the [[Verner Expedition]]'s victory. It was originally a vassal of [[Nova Balreska]], but broke free not long after its creation. It was temporarily controlled by the New Purshovian Trading Company (NPTCo), which established a Governorship over the island for several months. The company eventually left the island and released control of Hallengard after the retirement of its Governor, BeccyTurner. Hallengard continued to operate under the leadership of a Hersir, who commanded both diplomacy and the navy, until October 2020, when its navy was disbanded and the faction was annexed by [[Nova Balreska]]. Despite its annexation, Hallengard remained playable in-game and spawns on the island of Fort Verner.

The island would later be conquered in June of 2022 by the Rogue Raiders pirate crew, instating themselves as the new Hallengard and marking the start of the era of pirate-controlled Hallengard in which Blackwind Pirates crews could reform the faction for themselves or simply place it under Blackwind rule.

The island was briefly conquered in June 2022 by the Rogue Raiders pirate crew, instating themselves as the new Hallengard and marking the start of the era of pirate-controlled Hallengard in which Blackwind Pirates crews could reform the faction for themselves or simply place it under Blackwind rule. This system of control lasted to late December 2024 when the developers reinstated the navies for Hallengard and [[Nassau]], marking the end of an era of pirate-controlled Hallengard.

* Hallengard was originally controlled by a Freyr, who was replaced by the Governor under the New Purshovian Trading Company. The rank of Freyr was not reinstated after the NPTCo left Hallengard and instead the Hersir, formerly the rank of the second-in-command, was established as the highest commanding rank in the faction.
