Black Rose (BR)

Nobile of Black Rose's anti-RPK monarchy, based in Kara from December 1999. Over 1,000 followers at peak; lost Kara to Blood, retook it, then lost it for good in late 2000 after Lauae's betrayal. A Black Rose Noble remembered it from the inside in 2006: they held a far-off town for months "until the largest RPK guild (Blood) wanted it as their new home", and on the first raid one of their own allied guilds turned on them.
