End War IV

*This article is unfinished and it lacking info from certain perspectives*

The Fourth End War was the fourth battle that broke out due to an end reset on January 23rd, 2020. It was the first one to happen on the quarterly reset cycle that the server uses today and saw the highest attendance thus far.

## Parties

### Masterpolis-Blank Clan

Masterpolis fought in the end war along with their close ally the Blank Clan. Their main fighters were 420conlos840, TheRealNiceKid, vvm1, and Velocity250. The actual Masters stayed out of the fight though, opting to view it in spectator mode. Masterpolis' strategy mostly revolved around their best fighter, Conlos, fighting in a gset while the others supported him through bed bomb suicide attacks.

### Cordis Die

Cordis Die was the faction with the largest manpower in the fight, having 10 members fighting on their side: farmer8877, Butteredove, ijent, Historio, jabler1, Foxthefool, aimlockin and Oiop4 all fighting in the battle. Two of their newer recruits Zexadis and Bagel\_Dude even showed up on their own accord to help out with suicide bombing. Cordis Die adopted a blitzkrieg strategy of trying to kill the dragon as quickly as possible by the use of gear and resources that a lot of faction members helped to create.

### Riser

Despite announcing they wouldn't be fighting in the next end war Riser was there anyways. They had a moderate amount of manpower with Zeragaud, TheDaringDarson, Teenywave, and Madmadguy456 fighting on Riser's side, though a lot of them had to avoid combat due to both client-side and server-side lag.

### Minor Parties

**Sanctum**: Jujusgood was fighting on Sanctum's side during the war, though he mostly just watched while naked, bed bombing occasionally.

**Crusaders**: Due to GoldenMatee being asleep during the fight SwEqtZTeMpZ was the only person figting on the Crusder's side during the end war.

**Alibi**: Sent in Teenywave to help Riser.

## Pre-Battle

This section is going to be very Cordis Die centered until I get more perspectives, sorry!

In the week leading up to the end war Cordis Die shifted most of it's efforts towards preparing for the battle, producing around 15-17 gsets, shulkers of potions, and the server's first overworld pigmen xp farm all in under a week. This meant that they were very well supplied, which was essential due to the amount of people attending. The day before the war Historio buried the old Riser base, Fort Jackson, under a lavacast hoping that it would prevent Zeragaud from entering it, but this ended up being pointless as Riser was using a different stronghold. They also set up a small base of operations at a stronghold to hold their supplies and set their spawns the day before the war.

Will add what other parties were up to once more POV's are received

## The Battle

Once the server got back up it immediately started shitting itself due to 40 or so players trying to log on at once, with chunks not loading for 20 seconds or so. When they did Cordis Die and Conlos all jumped into the portal with a lot of protection to counter the TnT that they figured was going to be getting dumped into the end. Cordis Die went right to work with some going after the Dragon while others fought Conlos. Soon after others such as the rest of Masterpolis and Riser showed up, making the fight into a very chaotic mess. During this Cordis Die continued to tear away at the dragon while Riser members attacked them and Zeragaud shot explosive rockets from the sky. Masterpolis was mostly bed-bombing whoever they could find whole Conlos fought armored.

The Dragon was killed very fast due to the amount of players focused on killing it. For a bit the egg was still on the portal due to no one being abled to reach it, eventually it got teleported a few times until it ended up in a crater. Historio caught sight of the egg and went under it with a torch to collect it, after this he panicked for a bit and them left the end, meaning Cordis Die had won the main battle.

## Post-Battle

Despite the dragon egg being firmly in Historio's echest fighting in the end continued mostly for fun. During this Zera and Conlos would be killed along with Cordis Die burning through gsets like mad. Once those in gsets were either killed or left the end Cordis Die began camping the end spawn, killing TheDaringDarson well over 100 times while he tried to bed bomb them. Eventually they got bored and left, leaving Cordis Die has the victors of the end war.

## Ramifications

1. Riser's streak of winning the end battles was ended
2. Cordis Die established itself as a prominent faction on the server after nearly two months of being viewed as a low tier faction

Long term ramifications yet to be seen.
