I am always sad about how much of the history of the FEI I missed during my long break from BM.
Lasanar was still going strong when I left, I recall they had recently destroyed a realm in the north that I had a character in, and that character then fled to Nighthelm.
Morgan and Nighthelm didn't get along, I can't recall if it cam to actual war before I left or not . . . I recall a lot of arguments on the ruler channel, though. But then I got wounded and lost rulership, and then I got very sick in RL and stopped playing, and ended up not coming back for a couple years. And everything had changed. . . .
