Novigrad Nest

“	"The Ender Dragon will now respawn every 24 hours after being defeated (You can still spawn the dragon using end crystals) - There are different variants of dragons that will drop different rarity loot - Try to collect all of the different dragon eggs!"	”

The Novigrad Nest was a name given to an island in The End on Halfast connected via portal to the land of Novigrad during the Eleventh Era. It was home to a wing of dragons of varying strength who were periodically ressurected by necromantic energies contained within unusually powerful end crystals.
The defeat of these dragons was a recurring event open to all residents.

	"Loot includes a custom Dragon Egg, custom armor, tools, weapons, and more."

The Nest resembled a standard main island in The End featuring an endstone plain with a ring of obsidian pillars topped by end crystals. At the center was a bedrock grid surrounding a pedestal upon which a treasure chest would appear upon the dragon's defeat, containing at the very least a dragon egg. It was located adjacent to the Halfast End Hub.
The dragon automatically respawned—initially every 24 hours, later reduced to 12 hours. For the first month of the event, adventurers were able to respawn the dragon manually any time they wanted by constructing and placing their own end crystals, but HyperSilence eventually prevented this to make the Nest more of a timed event.
When a dragon was slain, up to ten combatants present were fully healed and received an XP bonus based upon the dragon's rarity and the amount of damage they personally dealt. The treasure itself was not divided correspondingly, meaning that the contents of the chest were on a first-come, first-serve basis and battles could potentially break out between both friends and enemies over the spoils within.
Eggs obtained from the Nest could be exchanged for items in the Novigrad Black Market.

	"Starting today, you will no longer be able to respawn the Ender Dragon manually, and the cooldown will be set to every 12 hours. The spawn rate of the rarer dragons will be increased, so you’ll be more likely to encounter a Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical dragon."

Responding to requests for new challenges and treasure, on 1E:35 HyperSilence announced the creation of the Novigrad Nest that would provide willing adventurers with the chance to face "endless ender dragons" each day for the chance at unique loot rewards depending on their foe's rarity tier.
FlyingPokemon became the first adventurer to face the Nest when he slayed Verioth on 11E:36, which set off a concentrated effort by his Knights of Ishtar to gather as many trophies as possible, aided by the fact that they could repeatedly respawn the dragons by constructing and placing their own end crystals. After HyperSilence prevented this, the Knights became somewhat frustrated at how infrequently legendary and mythic dragons appeared and began to reevaluate their risk versus rewards, allowing others the chance to challenge the Nest and obtain its treasure.
On 11E:72, HyperSilence joined a raiding party from the Knights of Ishtar with Kingkauw, FlyingPokemon, and King to slay the first encountered mythic dragon Typhoeus. Two days later, KOI defeated mythic Villentretenmerth, achieving the milestone of having warriors present for the first defeat of every named Nest dragon.
The last lingering traces of necromantic power were purged with Kingkauw's final defeat of the mythic dragon Typhoeus on 11E:447, exterminating the Novigrad Nest permanently.

The following is out-of-universe information about real-world Halfast.
	I’m hosting a server for a year. It’s currently whitelisted, so if you’d like to join @ me in General. There’s no plugins, permissions, rules, or anything like that. It’s basically just a Half Assed server I made that I can play on with you guys or by myself.

The ender dragons and their unique treasure were created by HyperSilence using the DragonEggDrop plugin made by Choco
The name "Novigrad Nest" was created by Tox purely for in-universe lore purposes and was never used on the server itself.
