As the dust settles and everyone is clear minded, it’s time to reflect on the monumental events that have unfolded.

Over the last three days, we’ve engaged in what could be described as the most intense siege in CCNet’s history, with player counts soaring to 190-200. The battleground was Korhal, the capital of the Thracian Dominion. Both sides fought with intensity, but in the end, it was Great Nasrid Emirate and its allies who emerged victorious.

The Great Nasrid Emirate, reborn just under two months ago, had much ground to cover to reclaim its former stature. The once-dominant Great Nordic Empire had succumbed to life beyond CCNet. Vestfold, our capital, seemed destined to fall to Thracia. However, the Emirate observed and plotted its return, driven by a thirst for retribution. Through rapid planning, intense labor, and rigorous training, we crafted a recipe for victory. GNE alongside Rome orchestrated a multi-front onslaught.

Kremlin, Thracia’s secondary stronghold, was besieged by the Roman forces in a strategic feint to draw attention away from Korhal. Our swift establishment of a siege base within three hours marked the beginning of a lightning-fast siege against the server’s mightiest nation. Although Thracia claimed the first day, GNE and her allies, refused to yield. Reinforcing and enhancing our siege base, we overturned the initial defeat with a staggering 58k point reversal across six sessions. The final day’s battle was intense, culminating in a pivotal moment where Pandadivino and idcDebug recaptured the banner, securing victory and occupation over Thracia for the Emirate.

To the valiant warriors of the GNE, your bravery and resilience have weathered the unweather able storm, leading us to emerge victorious not only on your capital but on their capital. In less than two months you have toppled the strongest single nation on the server. Stay strong, prepared but most importantly humble!

To our allies, we extend our deepest gratitude for your commitment, resources, and willingness to stand with us in battle. Together, we’ve learned invaluable lessons and shared unforgettable moments. It’s been mentioned many times that these sieges have been among the most fun, we hope GNE had something to do that. Looking forward, we hope you'll join us on future battle fields! 

To Thracia and its allies, understand that our victory was not a narrow margin of 3k points. It was a comprehensive campaign that you still yet to realize, marked by the occupation of your allies, the annexation of your assault regions, the destruction of Kremlin, and the decisive battle at Korhal. In the words of the great Dom Toretto, “It doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning is winning.” You've been defeated on every single front. Though if the thought of a 3k margin brings peace of mind, so be it. But rest assured, this was no mere inch.

For the Emirate, for our legacy, for victory we celebrate!

Dear CCNET, former Nordic members, and Friends.

We have returned. We are happy to be back in action after a year hiatus, and we bring with us some news. During our time away, we've been hard at work developing a nation from the ground up, constantly reviewing the shortcoming and hard at work developing new ideas. From former nobility the Nasrid Emirate’s council has emerged. Now that we're reunited, we're eager to dive back into CCNET under our shared goals, amidst the server’s ongoing invitations to align with either the coalition or alliance factions, we have declined both offers and chosen to join the Phoenix Federation. We set forth on our journey as a Nation and we extend invitation to former members of the Great Nordic Empire and anyone else interested in joining us. The road to this moment has been lengthy, requiring months of efforts to transform the nation from the former GNE into something worthy of presenting to the server. The support and patience have been valuable to us, and we deeply appreciate it.

Best regards from the Nasrid Emirate Council,

DarthFener, Magnus, Iracondo, Piyush, RageThing, Phoenix, Indomabile, Torque, Divino, KayT.
