In a deft political move, Josh’s HumanResources account has been accepted into the Crow’s Nest [nCrow] — a move that comes after days of the HR account purportedly being used to launch defensive attacks on BL Land Claim alliance operations against Valdorum in Pawanallpa.
Josh’s new home in nCrow could complicate any planned land claimer efforts to potentially seek retribution against him in the Broken Lands. Now, as an nCrow member, any attacks against HumanResources could be met with nCrow defensive support, potentially leading to the first major escalation since the outset of the war.
The Crow’s Nest, while a predominantly Elgean alliance, has begun to develop a colony of well-developed cities in the north regions of the Broken Lands. In the map below, the red box indicates HR’s relative cluster in Pawanallpa, and the green cities are nCrow positions:
nCrow would be well-positioned to defend Josh against counter-assaults should they choose to enter the war. Another major political consideration is that nCrow is a member of the powerful GA coalition, which successfully led an impressive military campaign in the Great War that led to the decimation of once-powerful alliances like H? and NC, establishing the GA alliances as the predominant power block in the game.
At present, nCrow has made no official statement in the Illy Forums or elsewhere about their acceptance of Josh’s HR account, nor have their characterized their willingness to enter the current war.
