Why were we banned from Nivemus? For being in Aurvandil, literally only that.
Just to try and expose the kind of nonsense we were forced to deal with - I was accused of clanning with another character for having a recruitment centre called the "de Hauteville Principes", Principes being a type of heavy Infantry, and also the designated name for the recruitment centre back when it was in Fontan (I merely put my name in front of it) but Principe was also the family name of another character in Aurvandil. Yes, this was the level of stupidity we were faced with in Nivemus. For the accusation of "always protesting", well the first time I "protested" was when I quite calmly said to the Kronogos we shouldn't be living of hand outs from Sirion, which is fair enough, how can a realm have dignity if it lives of another realms welfare? The next time I actually protested, I again calmly complained at the various members of the government being ridiculously belligerent and rude to a certain group of nobles, mainly the only nobles who ever talked who weren't them, asking them to show more decorum. This isn't counting the few debates we had over clanning, were several players quite concisely disproved their accusations, not that that meant anything.
I guess they also said I/we (The we only became apparently after they banned a group of players, before that I had no clue who "we" were) never contributed or followed orders, aside from the fact my character followed several recent orders, and couldn't previously due to being a lord, and was completely following orders before that. Other characters were accused of not contributing, but then several of those characters were the most active monster in the north/borders of Sirion at the time, with some of them still in regions fighting monsters when they were banned.
The only clan in Nivemus, was the ruling class, who became convinced that anyone with a connection to about five different realms were trying to take over Nivemus, and from that point absolutely refused to believe anything else whatsoever, no matter what evidence you gave them. Even as a new player with none of those connections I was forced to put up with this crap since the moment I arrived, as one of my characters joined Aurvandil later on from Astrum. They banned me/us/ for no reason whatsoever other than they fought we were plotting (again, for as little "evidence" as the naming of my recruitment centre, or maybe two of "us" agreeing in an debate) and I mean, no matter what you said, did or proved was enough to stop this torrent of what can only be considered baseless preconceptions against you.
But to get on topic to an Aurvandilan Clan in Armonia, well this is just the saxon panic again isn't it? Apparently in Westmoor, Nivemus, Fontan, Aurvandil and now Armonia. If you find more than one player with a character in Aurvandil, they're obviously plotting to steal your titles or gold to expand the great empire of the High Sovereign.
