Exciting times

Looks like many players are either planning to create new realms everywhere. It is a shame I already have a character on EC. Those new realms in the south will be very interesting.

I bet they attack Vix Tiramora. ;)
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Question is, what will Perleone do? :)

Is a refugee realm fair? Especially when theyve been transplanted in areas that formerly had history and claims, etc.

Deal with the influx as you normally would; they show up, tensions grow, let us RP our way through it. The idea that they can just up and be planted somewhere and go yes, this is ours is... silly to me.

There are certainly some who will be heading southward to return to their homelands once they realise the ice has retreated and the regions can be lived in again...

Ah, this elusive 'fairness'. Anyone can always come up with a perspective that isn't 'fair' in life. Is creating a new realm for refugees more or less fair than losing the island they've played on?

It's perfectly fine for them to do that. If they noticed it was possible to live in those frozen areas again (damn that Elsa and the trouble she caused...) and started moving in before the rest of us noticed, that's down to others to deal with if they want to. Some have moved on, or reminisce about the old lands but won't return, others will return but to integrated with the new realms, others will no doubt want to fight for the lands themselves. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all goes.

It will be a blood bath with all of the Diffrent factions fighting for power and wanting to establish their own realms.

I think it's less fair; it is less IC for a refugee realm to exist. I'm also saying this as someone who played majority on Atamara and sunk a lot of time into the island. I understand it as a concession but I'd rather play the foreigner and build my way again, or band together with my compatriots and take somewhere creating drama and tension.

This. There's nothing stopping you from taking the traditional emigration route.

No, the issue to me is players on those islands have to deal with this random transplant that is difficult to place IC. I don't know the geography of EI very well but a new realm in Gelene? There was history there. There was a story. It took us months originally to take and hold Gelene. Allowing a new realm to just bam spring up feels so wrong to me.

Just RP something like people who fled other two continents arrived in Gelene or something. Lands randomly sinking doesn't make sense either and not everything has to make sense either as well.

It happens to be where a load of refugees landed and they got inside the city before the hordes noticed them. It's a realm simply because it has a name, it's certainly not a secure and safe one. That old realm was lost to the monsters, this new one is trying to be reclaimed from them by a bunch of nobles who just found themselves there when they landed in their new home...
