Spawn

== Overview ==
Spawn is the area where new players would "spawn" into the game. It is notable for being greifed often, an effect of which is making it covered in water and lavacasts.
== History ==
Spawn has been around as long as the server, and has a long history of controversy. First, it was just a looted village with some creeper explosions. After that, a player named Dragon created a shop nearby, starting the first shopping district on Scratch Empires.
Soon, some more stores appeared, and Dragon started to expand her store. Meanwhile, NinWiidle has been removing all of the stone from spawn. Some people thought it was harmless as long as no one’s property was damaged, while others thought it wasn’t nice. 
Nothing changed for a while until NinWiidle announced that they would be making spawn a water cube. And just like that, spawn became a water cube. There was a small network of tunnels that housed the nether portal and some stores. Some people made their stores outside of the water cube. Most people didn’t mind this new addition as long as the stores still stood. Some, like Claimed, didn’t like how they would spawn on top of the cube. NinWiidle didn't mind some of the criticism they were getting, eventually saying the quote, "Spawn's been burning since the world's been turning."
Shops continued to grow in the tunnel network that some people made under the giant water cube, with some shops outside of the water cube. People sold potions, blocks, arrows, honey, anything people wanted to buy in the shopping district.
After a boat race at spawn hosted by NinWiidle and some drama over shops getting vandalized and robbed, a villager trading hall, a zombie grinder with an enchanting table, grindstone, and anvil, some farms, and a villager breeder was made. This eliminated the purpose of many stores that sold armor, weapons, or tools. 
After getting countless reports on players stealing from stores, killing villagers, and "accidentally" exploding some stores, owner and admin SharkBaitBilly announced that spawn was now an anarchy. Anyone could do anything they wanted to, and all stores were robbed and valdalized. The 64 x 64 area that had now descended into chaos still remains to this day, still covered in water, lavacasts, and the remains of old stores.
