Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Kusari in 818 A.S.

[Durandal]

And I'm going to counter with Gallia anyway. The Ronin are a storyline faction that have come in with the addition of Gallia.

True, but not the point I was trying to make

The Gallia story brings changes to the areas around it, the Ronin are one of those changes. If you read the storyline for the Ronin you will see two things. First they have nothing at all to do with the Ronin| currently in game, second the group sprang up overnight because they actually spring up over night in the storyline. Some KNF get abandoned and left behind in Bretonia, so they make their own way. This happened suddenly, virtually over night! Rather than roll over and disperse, they find ways to survive and fight against what they see as the real enemy while keeping their identity as Kusari warriors and their loyalty to what they see as the true Emperor of Kusari.

If anyone were to make a faction of Libertonian raiders trapped behind enemy lines in Rheinland, I somehow wouldn't see it getting very far.

But I guess my entire argument is invalid since they're just going to be using the KNF ID/IFF anyway, which's cool with me.
