All of this started with the death of the Goons by the hands of AD whom has made noticed of their power but not of the fact their notoriety. As unorganized as they are, they still have some respectable power and to topple a bunch of them is not a small feat. Despite Sodom's unease with them, they did provide some a good amount of commerce to the hearthlands.
However, what shocked me is that when I was tracking for Rye's death is that AD was responsible and I believe it was it was a mistake from my tracker but I had him double check and it was pointing towards the same location, Stronghold!, which was by AD. I dismissed it as an ops! by AD since people tend to make mistakes.
The reports didn't stop there. The number of report of incidents involved with AD increased. This includes one of my russian friend being aggro'ed by someone from Vitterstad. He let free since he was able to communicate with them though but I wonder what would happen if it was someone that didn't know Russian.
Furthermore I had found out that Vitterstad, Fort Ross, and Ironcliff joined with AD as well, the villages responsible for the raiding of Deephold, Avalon, and Constantinople crossroad respectively. This right there rang a large bell in my head. This was more reinforced when Konakona had posted the logs of conversation in regards to AD and the fact that these people have merged together in a coalition. Why would Koya induct these kind of people into AD?
I was willing to give Koya the benefit of the doubt but from others eyes as well as my owns, but there has been a lot of these questions unanswered and loose ends untied and there is no doubt that Koya has some rather undesirable characters into the union.
