The crowdfunded fan club has become a Faction Wars team with Donut and Carl as co-warlords and Signet's transferred forces as its army.
Fans contribute enough money for the organization to buy an open Faction Wars position. The acquisition turns what began as Donut's official fandom into a military and political participant.
Carl and Donut share warlord authority. Their prospective army includes Signet's tattoo beings and helpers, the changelings, Kiwi, Tina, and possibly Ferdinand, all transported with the High Elf Castle to the ninth floor.
The eighth floor offers little direct control over those troops, but the warlords can already vote on faction rules and use the newsletter to mobilize supporters.
