NIDA
Deochs 46 - 48

In Deoch 46 a series of new guild reforms were implemented which brought a complete change to the government style of Novus Imperia. Members “invested” in Novus Imperia either through material means or direct guild actions they could increase their rank and power in the guild. The system used points called "Novus Imperia Distributed Assurances" hence where the name NIDA came from. The guild witnessed an resurgence in core values of anti-heresy and epic event hosting.
