Obsidian

Obsidian is an alliance made up of long time players of Cyber Nations. In fact, it is a merger of two other alliances, UBS and CMR. We are a black team, medieval themed alliance which stresses a friendly and helpful environment for everyone.

What we offer

For small nations we offer a startup aid package totaling $500,000 as well as a mentorship program in which one of our larger nations will mentor you in order to make sure your nation is as good as it can be. For larger nations we offer an abundance of smaller nations to sell you tech as well as several large nations who can protect you.

As an Obsidian member...

As a member of the kingdom of Obsidian you will start out as a peasant but with hard work and dedication you can work your way up to a knight, a baron or even a duke! We make sure our best members are promoted accordingly and we pay special attention to making sure everything our members contribute is noticed and recognized.

Is Obsidian right for you?

If you wish for your nation to be great and you want a friendly environment that uses a medieval hierarchy and has an abundance to offer for nations of all sizes then Obsidian is the alliance for you!
