I've always like Norland up until the end, both as their enemy and as a Norlander myself. The Viking Wars were fun... great battles, great enemies. After the Wars ended I decided to give Norland itself a go. Lighthearted atmosphere, fun players, and always something to do. I wrote a pre-battle speech as marshal of one of their armies, drunk off my tits, which was nice. I was its general for a while, kicked some MI ass, then got to be ruler for a month after the old one got himself seriously wounded in a lone suicide charge. Good times... But towards the end, I heard people say the atmosphere changed. A lot of the old players were gone, and the new ones didn't have a clue on how to handle things, and ultimately things got as far as Norland being wiped out by its former allies. Not the ending they deserved based on their entire lifespan, IMO.
