Legacy of the Bosena Accords
My name is Galm Fae. Some have called me the Red Knight.
In YC118, under the orders of Kasiha Valkanir SARO’s anti-warclone task force, “RED TROOP,” conducted a brutal purge of the largest warclone clans in Molden Heath. In the aftermath, I founded the Bosena Accords to unite the survivors. Our goal was simple: uphold a ceasefire, give peace a chance, and prevent another slaughter.
To fulfill this dream we launched Project Avalon, based on a myth from old soldiers in hushed voices of a promised mercenary homeland. We sought a sanctuary of universal salvation, free from the threat of annihilation. We believed a code of honor would allow us to integrate peacefully into Molden Heath; instead, it placed us at odds with corrupt officials, the RSS, and the Krullefor Organization. This friction ignited the Skarkon War, dragging an entire system into hell and bringing our old enemy, Kasiha Valkanir, back to our doorstep. Having failed to protect the dream through diplomacy and ill-fated half-measures, I abdicated my role as Warden and sought strength within Svarog Clade to fight our common foes. Despite my failures, other Wardens of the Bosena Accords have carried the torch and kept our little version of Avalon alive. But the war left us bloodied, and more fractured than ever.

Avalon Is Dead, Long Live Avalon
Being the first Warden does not entitle one to Avalon’s legacy. Avalon is not a single location; it is an aspirational ideal—a shared haven free from imperialist domination. It lives in the heart of every warclone who has waded through corpses or fought under the light of a black star. It is wherever our kind have the means to build it, and the strength to keep it.
When reports emerged that the Deathless Circle was empowering Arkombine’s Vanguard to build a new Avalon, I was skeptical. Arkombine and the Deathless have changed sides almost as often as I have, and I could never forget how the Deathless aided the Krullefor in Skarkon and when Arkombine fought with RED TROOP veterans from EDENCOM and AEGIS against my Triglavian allies. How can they claim the mantle of Avalon when they’ve worked directly to undermine it? Now however, whispers swirl of Avalon outgrowing the Deathless, working to crawl out from under its shadow. I think of the sacrifices and moral compromises I made as Warden in the Skarkon War and ask myself what I would have done if I knew it was all to make the dream of a Free Avalon a reality.
I would have left it there, I think, keeping this new strange Avalon at arms length watching it with curiosity and skepticism while taking its mercenary contracts, testing their equipment, and quietly sending my findings back to the Collective. I mean why not? With the rogues gallery they amassed, everyone in the Vanguard trials has been a spy for someone, almost certainly including SARO assets. Might as well get a slice of the pie, right? But SARO has overplayed their hand. Moving to dismantle this new Avalon before it can truly breathe, RED TROOP has been mobilized to neutralize warclone flotillas and planetary facilities. This is the start of a new Purge—not because they fear the Deathless, but because they fear an independent Avalon.
So now I ponder the prospect of an effective, independent Avalon facing complete destruction and think back on why I founded the Bosena Accords a decade ago-- To prevent another Purge. I’ve sat back with folded arms, smugly telling myself this project isn’t worth my loyalty. But if I’m unwilling to plant my feet and take a stand now in the face of another Purge then everything I’ve done was all horse ■■■■. If I won’t fight against a Purge, then why did those soldiers follow me? Why did they die for me?
Why did I doom a whole planet if I could have told myself the dream wasn’t worth it and left it well enough alone?
Moreover, to be clear, RED TROOP is still at the absolute top of my shitlist and I will do anything to hurt them. So consider this my official statement of allegiance to Warden Eylan and call for solidarity with Avalon.
- To all independent warclones who have not yet come in from the cold since Skarkon or sought refuge with the Collective, join us in Combat Proving against RED TROOP.
- To my friends and allies I’ve served with across New Eden, I’m cashing in every IOU I have left to support this war effort.
In their arrogance, CONCORD thought they could install assets loyal to them in perceived positions of leadership to bring down Avalon from the top if it ever stepped out of line. What they failed to understand was that Avalon was never built from the top down, it’s a distributed dream. Power never resided with the Deathless, Lord Elyan, Galm Fae, Thaddeus Reynolds, Khada Fury, nor any Once or Future warclone who has dared to claim the title of Warden. The Warden and their inner circle are custodians, the firekeepers doomed to stand vigil and never let the flame die out. It’s a thankless job where you beg borrow and steal to keep it alive one day at a time. But the light it casts is magnificent. You are the light of Avalon warclone, and yours is the flame that will burn away the old order until nothing is left but ash and dust. Burn it to the ground, not just because it is our dream but because it. Is. Just. Grab a your rifle and burn with me.
