The Templar War was a conflict fought between june and september 2016 between the [[Juice Pirates]], the [[British Empire]], the [[Elven Empire]] and the [[Templar]]. | |||
=== Fall of the Crusaders of the Void === | |||
[[Templar]] maintained friendly relations with [[LoN]] and was considered an applicant | Following the fall of [[CoV]], the [[LoN]] was no longer facing any serious competition. Players from several crews waited tentatively to see which 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 raiding crews such as [[The Asylum]] or [[Templar]] rose from the ashes of [[CoV]] and [[Solis]]. | ||
The Asylum and the Templars had neutral relations with the LoN nations and they soon clashed with the Juice Pirates, beginning two conflicts that would evolve in the Templar and the [[Asylum War]]. The Juice Pirates considered alliances focused on profit and advantage instead of humanity and brotherhood, therefore they refused all sorts of ally proposals. Because they were the only large crew who openly condemned the plunders of the Templar and the Asylum, the Juice Pirates became their main target. | |||
Meanwhile [[Templar]] maintained friendly relations with [[LoN]] and was considered an applicant members. The Juice Pirates were outraged that a raiding crew was joining an organization supposed to bring peace to the world. This would ultimately prove [[LoN]]'s undoing. In a surprise move, [[Templar]] declared war against [[BE]] too. 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. No matter the outrage, the Juice Pirates joined forces with the British Empire and the Elven Empire. | |||
The main battles were fought at the Citadel, Coconut Bay and Fort Xera (Browe_'s sandstone castle). | |||
In september 16, the Templars announced an official stalemate with its enemies. The crew was later abandoned by its main members. The Juice Pirates considered the stalemate declaration a victory. | |||
=== Aftermath === | |||
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. | 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.

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 [[Templar]]s agreed to enter this new alliance. | In December 2016, the [[BE]] revealed the [[Commonwealth of Nations]] to the public.
