I quite sure from what I have heard that many (returning) players will want to have the old structure as well.
That would mean Ikalak as Republic, Taselak as Monarchy and Sandalak as Tyranny.
That counts for the banners as well, I guess.
If you give them now some new additonal feathers, colours or other fancy things, I am sure they would not mind, but bringing something back with such radical structural change....ummm I don't know.
In the end, it is a war island, and RP is secondary here.
