Are there any evil realms out there? Other than Outer Tilog of course, I haven't really seen an truly evil heartless realm. Is there no one man enough to loot, pillage and torture, just for looting and torturing sake? A realm that maybe possibly rewards people based on assassinations and truly heartless acts.
I can kinda see that any realm like this would find itself with many enemies fast.
Arcachon started out that way. Sort of. Looking back, I kind of regret overthrowing Tom (playing as "Tanaziel", I believe) and his bumbling, patsy ruler character as quickly as we did. But once the initial rebellion was over, we were straight up mean for awhile.
Strategically picked the island specifically for it being easily defensible and we created an "us vs. the world" mentality where rape, loot, and pillage was the name of the game. Anyone within striking distance was a raiding target and we made lots of enemies very quickly. And the roleplay to go with it was ridiculous at times how twisted and demented it could get. Headed by Seraphina (world-renowned assassin dubbed "The Angel of Death") with her psychological warfare that forced other rulers to adopt otherwise unthinkable tactics and politics in order to fight back, and Malus ("The Overlord") whose atrocities, warcrimes, and civil rights violations would make communist China blush. Now that I think about it, if
The Dark Knight's Joker ruled a realm in BM, it would have been old school Arcachon.
Outside of that, I remember Svunnetland Empire being a Roman Empire-styled realm. The ruler eschewed the "King" title (prior to custom titles) and was referred to as Caesar, and all the Dukes formed the Senate, who had voting rights on nearly all things pertaining to the realm as a whole. Was kinda fun and really worked with the whole "decadent empire falling apart at the seams" idea that FEI started out with.
