Hosted at the Mirotvorets Plaza in The League & Concord

"Celebrating a year of defender efforts, both triumphant and turbulent! From the liberations of New Westphalia and South Pacific, to the invasions of Islamic States and Solidarity, join us in celebrating defender-led victories, the efforts that fell short, and the people that made them all possible!"
