Note: Hallengard is now defunct, officially owned by Nova Balreska, however still playable in-game

Hallengard was one of the main factions in the game. It controlled a small island in the northern area of the game called Isle Hallengard (now Fort Verner). Other than occupying Perth for a few hours at one point, this was all they had. Hallengard fought in multiple wars, and existed independently from early 2017 - October 2020. Hallengard was originally a peaceful trading faction, however turned rogue, making enemies with all the other factions at its time.

Hallengard was defeated by Nova Balreska during the Nova Balreskan invasion of Hallengard, officially becoming a Nova Balreskan territory. Most of Hallengard then became part of the Nova Balreskan navy, or Nova Balreskan citizens.

Origins Edit
Hallengard entered the Grand Central Isles as mercenaries for Nova Balreska, as well as some refugees from the Verdantine Sovereignty; and They were tasked with protecting Fort Verner, while Nova Balreska continued to grow on their new home now called Nova Balreska.

Shortly after, a crew of pirates took over Hallengard. To Hallengard's surprise, the pirates helped Hallengard back to their feet. Eventually, with the help of Whitecrest demands, Nova Balreska released their annexation on Hallengard and the rights to the fort. As so, Hallengard has become its own independent faction in around January of 2017.

History Edit
Hallengard was a major faction in the Grand Central Isles. Isle Hallengard the name of their homeland. They are located at the northernmost point of the Central Tradelands. The faction consists mostly of former mercenaries, along with some members of old Verdantine Sovereignty from after the Verner and Verdantine War. They have been involved in multiple wars, even taking over Perth for a very short period of time. The faction was defeated in the Nova Balreskan invasion of Hallengard, and is now called Fort Verner, after Nova Balreskan annexation.

The Downfall of Hallengard Edit
Before the beginning of the downfall, Hallengard was considered by many to have the most skilled navy. After initial success invading Nova Balreska on April 4th, 2020, Hallengard was beat back by the Nova Balreskans, facing defeat on April 14th of the same month. Many Hallengard navy members lost morale from this war, however it was no where near the end for them

Hallengard remained somewhat stable until August 12th, when they were blockaded by a faction know as the Aukai for contracting a deadly disease on a Hallengard expedition to the north, as well as the murdering of an Aukai village. The blockade was enforced by all other grand Isle factions. After two failed blockade run attempts, Hallengard was worn out, with almost no CP, a disease ravaging them, completely trapped on their island, running out of supplys for over a month. Then, in September of 2020, they miraculously broke the blockade, giving them time to regenerate most of their CP before war broke out between Nova Balreska and Whitecrest.

Hallengard would be drawn into this war, on Nova Balreska's side. They attempted to capture Harisburg from Burkeland. The battle showed initial success from Hallengard, however they were eventually drawn out of Harisburg. This would be the last battle in which Hallengard was in.

Having been defeated multiple times in a row, the faction was worn out, and had fallen very far behind the other navy's skill wise. Hallengard would never recover to its full CP from this. Nassau becoming a faction was also a large factor, as many Hallengard navy members abandoned Hallengard to join Nassau. Hallengards navy had also shrunk down to about 150 people, and about 50 active people.

On October 3rd, 2020, Hallengard Hicom received a forceful offer to cede their lands into Nova Balreska, with Hallengard navy members getting equivalent ranks in the Nova Balreskan navy. They reluctantly agreed to Nova Balreska's offer. The Hallengard navy was then disbanded about three hours later, after one final patrol/raid, with most members then joining Nova Balreska.

Nova Balreskan Invasion of Hallengard Edit
As Hallengard navy had disbanded and reformed into Nova Balreska, Hallengard was clearly the weakest faction in the game. On October 9th, 2020, Nova Balreska went to war with Hallengard. The first battles saw huge success by Nova Balreska, lowering Hallengard to less than half of their CP. Then, unexpectedly Hallengard managed to successfully do a supply theft raid on Nova Balreska, stealing 5 of Nova's CP. Nova Balreska attempted to invade again, however the Hallengards managed to "steal" a Nova Balreskan Astraeus, winning the battle. This would be the last win for Hallengard. The next 4 battles were all easily won by Nova Balreska and on October 19th, 2020, Nova Balreska invaded Hallengard one last time, officially annexing it, and renaming it to Fort Verner, the original Balreskan name for the island.

Note: Ironically the last leader of Hallengard before its navy disbanded lead most of the war effort for Nova Balreska, along with the majority of old Hallengard navy helping invade their old homeland.

Geography Edit
A few rock quarries and trees are located outside the fort, gives quick access to limited resources.

There is a sunken Atlas, previously a slave ship carrying former citizens of Balresk and former Inyolan slaves, wedged between two rocks just outside of the island. Even after many years since it's wrecking, it stands as a monument to the people who later found Nova Balreska and Hallengard. Inside the Atlas there's a larger map of Tradelands including Purshovia, Burkeland, Inyola and Balresk.

On the eastern beach of Hallengard there lies a few rowboats marooned on the island from the shipwrecked Atlas.

For a wooden fort, the place seems quite fortified by those who inhabit it. Around the fort are several long gun stations to keep ships at bay. In the center there are two large mortars which help to further protect those inside the fort. The walls are high enough that it requires two people to even get over. Some are crafty enough, however, to use the rocks to climb over. With walkways across the fort walls, those climbing over are easy targets for a ranged weapon.

There is also a small house you can enter in-game, it has a small prison in it which Hallengard combat loggers are sent into.
