After Darkwings (DAR) took King’s Landing before last year ended, things were looking good for K56. New, strong alliances like Fortress (RES), RestInPieces (RIp), UN1TY (UN1), and later TheBeasts (TbE), arrived from various other places.

The kingdom prospered, winning War of the Kingdoms and looking to be a strong, balanced place. Not without its arguments and fights, no. Many of the alliances still had no love for each other, and the newcomers all had various designs on taking over. With the major clans being in the 10-12 billion power bracket, it promised to be an interesting situation, as there is balance among the various allies and enemies.

“We were not all friends,” according to a K56 resident. “[But] we [manage the kingdom] pretty well and [we have] a good community.”

That is, until BoomHeadshot (WEE) arrived.

WEE, at first glance, looked not all that impressive. RES, RIp, UN1, and even DAR, Rebellion (REB), and Ronins (RNI) had bigger castle owners, higher strength overall, and larger support base, as WEE had barely two dozen Lords and Ladies in the kingdom. One of those though is their leader, theBlue, who promised to burn the kingdom to ashes.

BoomHeadshot originated on K29 and had a tour on chaotic K28 after the two kingdoms battled each other at War of the Kingdoms. Never a particularly big alliance, they revel in chaos and anarchy, naturally in fighting, and generally in doing the unexpected. They are famous trolls as well; the Kingdom Plaza will never be the same with them around.

They are known to be one of the most exceptional combatants, especially theBlue. For a relatively small crew, they sure made big waves on K56, terrorizing the kingdom, weathering other alliances’ attacks with aplomb, forcing the bickering allegiances to work together to take the usurpers down.

Combat-ready castle owners moved to DAR to provide strength and parallel rallies were organized to take down theBlue and his cohorts – but impressively, he weathered everything that was thrown at him, all the while burning his enemies, until the whole kingdom was forced to live under permanent truce.

WEE almost never claims great castles, making the K look normal at the surface. Acting as if the renegade clan does not exist, life went on: titles got shared, FFAs were held, and after the first wave of cooperation, the alliances took a step back and returned to their favourite pastime before WEE arrived: arguing in the Kingdom Council about rules. Despite all of this, the domain stands united when the situation calls for it, winning against K11 in the kingdom versus kingdom event.

Then, in the last Castle Siege after the recent kingdom versus kingdom event, while WEE and DAR played cat and mouse at King’s Landing, TbE got bored, and out of nowhere, took KL for themselves. TheBeasts were the most recent established alliance that moved into K56, making the play for the Great City not that surprising.

DAR were steadily losing able members to other groups and other kingdoms. REB and RNI were in a similar situation, and the two alliances, long partners and friends, finally merged into RebelSamurai (RbS), to hold Winterfell secure.

After the lost siege event, the merged DarkSloths (DAR) moved to the North into Skagos Island. RIp took Casterly Rock from UN1, which moved to Highgarden to replace RNI in that spot.

TbE’s rule – if it could be called that – barely lasted a few days as a new challenger from a faraway domain arrived. At first, it looked like just one castle, Lord Savvo of AlwaysBeCool (ABc) of K65. An impressive 1.9 billion-powered Lord, he is the kind that one would not treat as a mere visitor. His presence usually signals the start to an invasion. And word on the street is that this was already in the works for weeks prior to execution.

In this case, it was ABc and ItsMaenaLFault (ImF) whose castles started to pepper the kingdom’s grass, introducing themselves by burning unprotected castles to flames. The charge involved all of K56’s alliances, the two giving no quarter whatsoever to whoever.

The aggressiveness was also present at the Kingdom Plaza.

The height of the invasion occurred when Lord Savvo set down his castle by theBlue, who removed truce and looked ready to take on what was certainly to come. Although it might appear foolish to let a rally of this magnitude hit, but theBlue let it land – and lived to tell the tale.

Still, a single rally is just that, and even theBlue did not allow any others to land. Besides, the combined prowess of the two alien teams are unmatched by anything K56 has to offer as they continued the onslaught after numerous talks to broker peace fell apart.

As per our source who provided some of the images included in this article, “(ABc and ImF) moved here and [started] attacking. [There was] a [ceasefire] and it was broken when [Ekay] could not be [controlled]… 16 hours went [by] and [they started burning] empty castles [once] again. ‘We need to calm down Ekay,’ is what they last said.”

The outsiders claimed they reached out to the leading alliance prior to transferring. However, DAR management disputed that the mail that they received was of no substance and does not constitute to a cordial approach.

Nevertheless, ABc and ImF insisted they were aboveboard when they were communicating with K56 leaders.

Meanwhile, some alliances in the Kingdom Council felt offended that they did not receive the same courtesy of getting mail from the newcomers, regardless of content.

“[It is] clear that they want to rule by fear and the [K56] people are not going to take that (sitting down),” added our source.

In the most recent Castle Siege, ABc and ImF merged as they flexed their might and took all Great Cities save for one, while the kingdom’s resident alliances are purported to be looking for a new place to call home. It has been relayed to us that RbS have headed to K31 and DAR have gone to K17.

The new reality on K56 has begun.

And some are not pleased with this development.
