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. | The league also helped to prevent internal conflict, uprisings and animosity between the crews.

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 === | |||
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 [http://wiki.piratemc.com/The_Verussian_War 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 === | |||
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. | Templar maintained friendly relations with LoN and was considered an applicant member. This would ultimately prove LoN's undoing.
