The League of Nations[edit | edit source]
The League of Nations (LoN), informally known as the "Allied", was a social and military alliance of some of the biggest crews on PirateCraft. It was founded in spring 2015 during the great war against the 0utlaws.
Most of the self-declared "empires" on the server as well as crews with a nation theme found a place in LoN. Its aim was establish order amongst the great civilisations of Piratecraft and coordinate against pirate threats. Through cooperation, great threats such as 0utlaws or the first incarnation of Crusaders of the Void (CoV) were fended off or even toppled from their hegemonic positions.
The league also helped to prevent internal conflict, uprisings and animosity between the crews. Since the destruction of Evermoor, no great settlement was ever destroyed in war. Through the protection provided by their allies, the crews of LoN were free to pursue great feats of construction and engineering.
History[edit | edit source]
For over a year LoN remained the biggest and most powerful alliance on the server, rivalled only by the Federated Nations Alliance.
The 0utlaws War[edit | edit source]
Regarded by some today as the most vile hacker to ever sail PirateCraft seas, HardTimez earned a reputation as a particularly aggressive individual. He established a crew named 0utlaws and attacked other crews without warning. Often he would pick on underdeveloped players and leave behind griefed land. The main crews of PirateCraft soon had enough of HardTimez' antics - the British, Elves, Verussians, Iborians and Ottomans banded together to keep this threat at bay. After many intense weeks of conflict, HardTimez was banned by staff and peace returned to the server.
LoN decided to stay united in order to provide coordinated and active resistance against future threats. Despite this, the Verussian Empire was ousted from LoN at the end of spring 2015 after a plot aiming to undermine their allies was uncovered.
The CoV War[edit | edit source]
In autumn 2015 CoV became the most active PvP crew on the server, yet to begin with LoN did not have to deal with many acts of aggression. Smaller wars, such as the war on the Verussian continent or skirmishes against various smaller crews took priority.
In spring 2016, CoV began to swell further in size. PvPers of at least decent capability flocked to their ranks in order to make the most of the limited competition on the server. Raids were conducted against various LoN members. For a long time no action was taken against this aggression - the capabilities of CoV seemed overwhelming. In May 2016, the Elven leader, Reptaria, declared that he would be actively hunting CoV members in retaliation. Combined action was taken by Elven Empire, the British Empire and a new PvP crew called Solis with the rest of LoN soon to follow. The sheer number of players suddenly taking up arms against CoV proved no easy adversary, igniting discord within CoV's ranks. A rift developed between old and new crew members. Within a week, the seemingly impenetrable crew had broken up.
The Templar War[edit | edit source]
Following the fall of CoV, LoN no longer faced any serious competition on the server. Players from all crews waited tentatively to see which LoN crew would break rank to take CoV's crown as the leading PvP crew. This scenario didn't set in. Solis disbanded while LoN remained steadfast. New crews such as The Asylum or Templar rose from the ashes of CoV and Solis.
Templar maintained friendly relations with LoN and was considered an applicant member. This would ultimately prove LoN's undoing. In a surprise move, Templar declared war against BE. In response, BE called upon LoN for support in the war against Templar. Due to LoN's friendly relation with Templar, however, only EE and 13C provided assistance. The other LoN crews wanted to remain neutral.
Many citizens of BE were shocked that their allies were refusing to aid them after BE had provided aid in all past conflicts concerning their fellow LoN members. This lead to a general referendum in which it was proposed BE should leave LoN and pursue closer relations with more dependable crews. The referendum, known as BExit, passed with over three quarters of voters in favour. The resignation of the biggest crew in LoN lead to EE and 13C immediately following suit, leaving only the Xanthian Empire, Luteus Republic and Iborian Empire. These three mini crews decided to merge into one and become the Xanthian Order. Though EE ultimately changed its mind and decided to stay in LoN with TXO, the former great alliance slipped into inactivity.
In December 2016, the BE revealed the Commonwealth of Nations to the public. This union would server as a spiritual successor to LoN with more detailed guidelines to prevent internal conflict. All the old members of LoN as well as the reformed Templars agreed to enter this new alliance.
