The Revolution (TR) was the second exodus of the Wilderness Guardians, formed by Noricle and Rick Hamm in 2005. A short rivalry occured between TR and WG, but was ended with TR's abrupt closure in March of the same year.

Formation

In early 2005, His Lordship made a topic on the Rune Village fansite titled America: Bully of the World. The topic was harshly critical of the USA - in particular, its political and moral values and attitudes. Given that WG was comprised largely of American members, an internal dispute arose and members began to leave the clan. In an attempt to rectify the situation, His Lordship temporarily stepped down from leadership, appointing Myst01 as the new leader. This only served to worsen the issue, and members continued to leave - in a 2014 account of WG's early history, His Lordship cites that around 100 members left over the course of a single weekend. Two ex-WG, Noricle and Rick Hamm formed TR - the second ARPK exodus of WG (after The Synergy the previous year). Within two weeks, TR had taken over 40 members from WG, and within one month TR had clearly surpassed WG in strength.

Rivalry

From the beginning there was considerable animosity between WG and TR given the nature of TR's formation.
