Player, Province, Kingdom & Alliance History

==History of Alliances==
The first alliances were unofficial and loosely organised between friends in different Kingdoms (and multies working across kingdoms). In response more organized alliances were formed to defend against these less organised alliances. In addition, following the reshuffle in ~Age 3 players who had played in the same KD previously stayed in contact and got their kingdoms to work together. 
Alliances had different purposes and themes, for example some were based on nationality while some were more social or competitive. Many had their own public IRC channels and websites to advertise and communicate outside of the game. 
The amount of spies recruited made Ulrick lean towards an invite only approach to joining Civilization. They were friendly with HUN and an enemy of Muaddib. 
===Notable Alliances===
