Water Vikings History
World War IX
Escot joined the Water Vikings in October 2022 and quickly rose through the ranks, earning promotion to the staff team in April 2023. During the summer of that year, he played a key role in World War IX, contributing to the Vikings’ offensive campaign against the Sapphire Concordant. Later in the war, Sapphire Concordant suffered 31 battles, and lost 18 servers. The World War IX ultimately ended in a peace treaty from both sides with no victor. However, the victors will retain possession of most of the servers.

Christmas Chaos XIII
Subsequently, he represented WV during Christmas Chaos XIII later that year. Throughout the tournament, Water Vikings remained a dominant force. In the Quarterfinals, they faced the Help Force and secured victory in all three rooms. In the Semi-Finals, they competed against the Army of Club Penguin, maintaining their streak of dominance. However, during the Finals, both the Elite Guardians of Club Penguin and Water Vikings encountered challenges in maintaining their leads, resulting in a closely contested match. Although the first room concluded in a draw, the Vikings achieved victory in the second room despite their size disadvantage. The final room also ended in a draw, and the Vikings secured their first Christmas Chaos trophy.

Wars
On November 17, Viking Commander Raven116 announced the declaration of the Third Eagre Foray War, and its terms, following the recent reclassification of the Vikings to major army status. Several controversies arose due to instability within the Special Weapons and Tactics, alongside not being able to claim a spot in the monthly Top Ten.
Subsequently, in April 2024, WV engaged in the Sluttpådawn War against the Templars of Club Penguin. After cooperation during the Second Eagle Foray, both factions found themselves allied after years of hostility. However, in a remarkable turn of events, the Templars declared war on the Water Vikings. Within a brief period of two weeks, the conflict concluded, with the final score tallying at 15-0-5 [W-T-L], in favor of TCP. Upon the conclusion of the war, Cabin, the leader of WV, formally announced its end to the army. Despite the war’s outcome, their valiant efforts remained evident.
Following a peace treaty signed between the Army of Club Penguin and the People’s Imperial Confederation on Friday, the Clovers immediately declared war on the Water Vikings. Despite having an intense history between the Vikings and Clovers, this war is the first one-on-one conflict fought between the two armies. Throughout the war, WV remained dominant with a trailblazing score of 6-1-1. The war concluded with ACP’s no-show in the last battle, and the Vikings declaring themselves victors.
Escot’s Rise
It is undeniable that Escot has played an essential role in the success of the Water Vikings over the years. Throughout his career, he has participated in numerous wars, tournaments, and major events, consistently contributing to the accomplishments of the army. His advancement within the army was marked by his promotion to Higher Command on the anniversary of the army. In December 2024, he was awarded the prestigious title of the Greatest Viking.

On June 3, 2025, Escot was inducted into the army’s leadership in recognition of his longstanding dedication. Throughout his tenure in leadership, the army encountered numerous wars, tournaments, and changes within the army. On August 25, the Water Vikings declared war on the Templars, intensifying their longstanding rivalry following a confrontation in the Legends Cup XV tournament. Following their decisive victory in the Invasion of Puddle, the Water Vikings swiftly advanced their strategic position. With the Templars weakened, outmatched, and holding only a single territory, the Water Vikings imposed a force treaty upon them.
Later on, the People’s Imperial Confederation officially declared an off-map war on the Water Vikings, sparking the latest chapter in one of the community’s fiercest rivalries. The war concluded with a sudden agreement announced by Escot. The army also co-hosted Olympics with the Army of the Club Penguin naming it the Ragnarök Olympics.
War Against the Romans
On January 11, the Water Vikings declared a state of war against the Romans, designating it as the Second War of Roman Subjugation. The Vikings asserted that the Romans had engaged in persistent provocations, including the theft of troops and defamatory remarks concerning their army. Additionally, the Romans accused the Vikings of harassment and manipulation in an attempt to gain more members. A raid was conducted on the same day as the declaration, January 11, during which there was a conspicuous disparity in size. The Water Vikings undoubtedly succeeded in overcoming the Romans and achieving success in their raid. This event appeared to serve as a warning and preliminary engagement, with the first official battle scheduled for January 13, 2025.

The war concluded with Romans no showing in all the scheduled battles, and the Vikings declaring themselves winners.
War Against the Templars
On April 13, 2026, the Templars of Club Penguin declared war on the Water Vikings following months of escalating tension. Once hostilities commenced, the Water Vikings swiftly assumed control and established a lead. TCP entered the conflict with confidence but encountered difficulties in gaining momentum and was unable to secure a victory. As the battles progressed, tensions intensified, with TCP accusing WV of relying excessively on veteran members. Conversely, WV remained focused on performance in battle and sustained its advantage throughout the engagement. During this period, TCP’s activity noticeably diminished. Within a span of two weeks, the conflict concluded, with the final score recorded as 13-0-0 [W-T-L] in favor of the Water Vikings. The leader of TCP, Sidie9, subsequently announced surrender, which was reflected in the removal of the Templars from the CPA map. The Vikings issued a peace treaty on April 22, 2026, thus culminating the war.
