The Order of the Holy Guard has had a calling from the Lord to return to their monastery in the distant snowy mountains - to dismantle much of their armies, to hand over the keys to their holdings, and to return to a life of prayer.
That means that the Holy Guard (HG) will not be officially involved in Strategus anymore (although a couple of its members will continue to trade around the area and will be included as Free Lands Traders).
We will still be playing cRPG but have become involved in other things and no longer have the interest level across the board to sustain Strategus in any meaningful way.
Thanks to everyone who has greeted us kindly in Strategus.
- Our holdings (Yruma and Karindi) will go back to Remnant as they were acquired by the combined forces of Remnant/HG and therefore partially belong to Remnant.
- Our standing armies will be partially dispersed to Free Lands members.
- The Free Lands will continue! The member factions will keep it going. The Free Lands thread will be locked as I will not be updating it, but the code for it has been given to the other Free Lands members so they can recreate it under their forum account.
- The Strat 4 Border Policy thread code is below if anyone wants to take that over.
