History of the flag
Blood and Roses was formed in October 2007 as a means for White Rose to keep Vernal Equinox when they broke away from Moonlighting. Angara was made King, and the captain of WR, Lj, was made the second royal.
The flag expands
On December 4th 2007 Voyage of the Damned joined the flag and Blood and Roses changed from just being a way to keep Vernal Equinox to a "real" flag.
January 27th another crew joined the flag; Viking Asylum and then Winter Gales joined on February 3rd 2008.
Heavens to Mergatroy joined a month later, on March 2nd 2008.
A Parliament Established
Our leadership team includes all Titled and Royal members. The entire team is included in decisions made by the flag. Any of the Titled or Royal members may be contacted for alliances, treaties, or if you are a crew searching for a flag.
Future of the flag
Our goal is to provide an environment for players to grow, thrive, and expirence all the game has to offer. We look to maintain a low maintenance flag where everyone has fun and can play a part if desired.
Blockades
Endurance IX
When Voyage of the Damned joined Blood and Roses, both crews (VotA and White Rose) in the flag had ties to Endurance Island (some were homed there - and some owned shoppes/stalls on the island).
Since it was ruled by a Azarbad the Great at the time the taxes was set at 100%, so the flag decided to kick the Brigand King out to get reasonable taxes, a new island - and some good old blockade fun.
Only two weeks after that decision, they attacked Endurance and won the island.
Nu XV
After the conquest of Endurance, Blood and Roses looked around for another island to attack. Nu was a very tempting target since it was close to Endurance which opened up several tactical advantages.
But since it was owned at the time by Spirit of the Game, friends of several people Blood and Roses, it was not pursued. But when the Brigand King Admiral Finius won the island - and SotG had no intensions on getting it back - Blood and Roses took the chance and only five days after the decision to attack, the island was blockaded and won.
Endurance X
About six months after Azarbad the Great had been kicked out from Endurance, he decided to try to take it back. After his fleet has been sitting in Opal for a week, he finally made his move and dropped on the island.
On June 29th 2008 an armada of arabic ships were sighted outside Endurance, but after a heroic defence by Blood and Roses and their friends, he was fought off and the island was safe again.
