'''The Crusaders''' - November 18th, 2018 '''--Current--'''
* The Monastery
== My Recounts from Chaos ==
As a player who has had a few hiatuses from Chaos, everytime I return I always find it fascinating how methods/fighting styles/tactics have changed and evolved over time. I think it is important to document these as well as major events so that newer players can look back and understand the history of the game and how it's evolved with the ingenuity of players and introduction of new features and changes to the mechanics.
=== June 3rd, 2013 - The first time I experienced the Orb of Doom ===
On this day, the Empire of Mol Rehan under the leadership of Nadroj organised for a tower bash outside of the JK deed of The Hot Gate. This was one part of a major EMR offensive in the east intended to push JK out of the Sparta peninsula and back into their homeland.
Sparta was an old deed on Chaos (built on old mechanics which were no longer possible and became its downfall - I'll explain further later on). It was renowned by EMR for its Russian occupants, in particular a player named fsbkun whom many EMR members viewed as being a particularly strong player with high archery and fletching skill and Shield of the Gone (SOTG wasn't as common at the time as it is today). The buffer zone between Sparta and Kratos (The stronghold housing the EMR fighting force in the east) was the JKC deed of The Hot Gate, essentially a wall deed west/east blocking EMR from advancing further north by land.
June 3rd, 2013 - Timeline of events:
* A contingent of approximately 15 EMR struck at The Hot Gate with the main goal of bashing a tower directly in front and to provoke a JKC counterattack.
* JKC mustered an almost equally strong force to rival EMR soon after.
* Kix activated the Orb of Doom timer and charged into the EMR group, only a few EMR players had noticed the Orb of Doom in Events tab.
* "KIX HAS THE ORB OF DOOM!!!" Demondan shouted. Seconds later, 1/3 of the EMR group was hit with the Orb of Doom including myself. I was climbing up a hill at the time I was hit. I went from 80% health down to 1% and fell off... fortunately into a mine at the base of the hill. Had the base of the hill not had an open mine, I would've died.
* After the Orb of Doom struck, JKC charged and a skirmish ensued almost leading to the death of Nadroj. I don't remember who died but there would've been casualties on both sides.
* The tower was bashed in the end and both sides withdrew.
