History
Halo joined Corsaircraft when it still was in developement, but failed to stick in until the whole Endorien community was mobilised. Along with his team (Agentus_Endorin, Xtreme27, TheMineToad, MionaTheGreat, StaticSkizzles, GoatEggz, AttemptPending and xxNekoQueen) he started deploying an Endorien nation in the Nova Endoria continent.
The team founded Volantis, which acted as capital of the Endorien Empire up until the Age of Treachery. After foundation and settling, military recruitment begun. Volantis grew with massive docking capabilities, shared storage areas granting free resources to all Guild members. Some members decided however to run away from the city, in the fear the loyal members would turn out to be thieves and criminals.
Corsairs were recruited to run oversea missions, in order to capitalize on this momentary wind of expansion.
The Age of Treachery begun when Lastiy, a corsair gone rogue, attacked with the aid of xxNekoQueen the very same guild who grew them. Halo was killed in the process, Balerion the Black Dread stolen and Agentus Endorin named Emperor. StaticSkizzles, AttemptPending and GoatEggz all fled their positions, encouraged and tricked by other rogue corsairs into attempting to topple the centuries-old Endorien Empire. Refusing to follow the imperial leadership, the defector tribe of Aurelia pushed many Endoriens into turning their back to their native banner, bolstering their ranks with Endorien recruits and filling their pockets employing Endorien technologies.
The tribe grew feeding from the corpse of the Endorien Empire.
After his death during Lastiy's betrayal and after the downfall of the Empire, Halo got resurrected by Agentus Endorin and The Goat God in an unholy ritual, only to find the Endorien Empire tore apart by its very own members. Aurelians settled in a far away island, apparently minding their business but in fact lingering in Endorien lands, while the Endorien kept Volantis, worried about the hostile force growing around the Capital.
Balerion was successfully stolen back by Halo, who made it its personal ship after realising the Endorien Fleet was no more after it was seized by Lastiy.
A tax was issued on Aurelia by Endoria in order to hold the former accountable for the intellectual/technological theft and socioeconomical disaster caused by the defectors, and conflict broke out when Aurelian corsairs were spotted on the shores of Endorien colonies. Warnings were issued and ignored, and intruders were eliminated. However, a respawn point of the intruders was set on Endorien lands and used to officially begin the Aurelian invasion of the Southrons Sea.
Conflict terminated when Halo realised the Kaiser of Aurelia could have been suitable for joint rulership of a reunited Endorien Empire. The community still had a chance to stick back together, and diplomatic action led to a treaty aiming at integrating the nations under the original banner once again.
The treaty officially stated:
- Halo would resign from its position as leader of the Empire. - All claims belonging to Halo would be passed over to Aurelian council. - The Endorien Fleet would pass over to Aurelian council. - Players adapting to the merge would be allowed private property on former Endorien lands
... and other points we'll try and get here once the original text is recovered.
The treaty was gradually put into place. Aurelians gave hints of their real intentions right away, by storming Volantis with armed forces, trying to quicken up the treaty enforcment with threats and violence. The Aurelian Council allowed for no integration of Endorien citizens, and Halo himself, after putting all they could on the plate, soon realised there was no room for Endoriens in Aurelia.
Halo made sure no treaty point could be broken, securing the private properties of his close friends in a safe spot and moving away on Balerion to Eclipse Island, where he would wait for tensions to ease and integration to complete. Many attempts were made at ensuring profitable and sustainable trade deals with the new Empire, which in turn quickly turned against the Endorien refugees, fearing a coup from Halo's side.
The Aurelian Council, after receiving the Endorien Fleet, the Endorien Capital of Volantis and promises of non-belligerance, banished all Endorien refugees in an act of treachery that shall be remembered by all Endorien people. A nation tore apart by war was quickly seized with mischief by a calculating Kaiser, capable of breaking his own vows with ease never seen before in 500 years of Endorien Endurance.
Endoriens grouped into a newly founded Trade Company - ETC (Endorien Trading Company), finally vowing to quit all geopolitical aims and interests. Valyrian investments soon guaranteed a profitable Amberieux - Aeo's trade route, and many offers were sent to all guilds in order to attract investors. Aurelians refused, failing to see the point of running a trade route, technology which was still unknown to them.
In 504 EE however, missent global chat messages allowed Aurelian intelligence to gain insights into trading routes. In particular, Aurelians were quick in organizing a raid on the Endorien route, attacking civilian members of a neutral guild. The Aurelian Kaiser itself, along with some henchmen, attempted boarding a commercial vessel carrying tons of Saffron on behalf of IATC (Italian Austrian Trading Company), Valyrian's trading powerhouse. Captain Halo however, spotting in great advance the hostile movements, landed the ship and put most of the load to safety in a nearby cave.
Aurelians shot to kill, without warning, but at first failed at retrieving any bit of the riches. They then left, and pushed Halo back out into the open: captain MionaTheGreat fought and killed Aurelians boarding her ship, but was soon overwhelmed by enemy numbers. Aurelians successfully seized part of the load, but after securing it at Volantis docks, were faced with an Endorien siege on Volantis, which was won by the Endorien and left both the Aurelian Kaiser and his bodyguard dead on the ground.
Soon after, IATC intervention scared the Aurelians out of their propositions, and the cargo ship was quickly returned to the Endorien Trading Company.
