Eyes of the Nether

The Eyes of the Nether was primarily a lore-writing guild, first led by Bleeding Quill, then by Toast roll.

## History

"We started out as a group attempting to protect nether environments and creatures, then we became a nether research group, then a group basing itself in the nether doing all of the above. We begun our first ‘research’ as lore entries, which are currently still being updated weekly. We attempted to occupy a nether fortress, but this was thwarted due to the mods not giving us the faction blocks necessary for us to safeguard our base, so we defaulted to tunnels and underground bases. We later died out due to the server growing inactive, though many of the group are still in contact."

## Goals

"The research and protection of the Nether and it’s resources, biotic and abiotic, and form sustainable colonies within the Nether so it was safe for consistent habitation. The former was less of a success due to the constant raids of self proclaimed ‘anarchists’ and other groups, but the latter found success in the Nether villages that lasted a remarkable time before they were demolished due to the lack of, again, faction blocks that we were never given despite meeting the member count."

- Kirbo

## Structure

"We were officially documented as a religion to reduce any possible hostility from others, as we observed a lower amount of feuds between religions compared to factions. There wasn’t much information to actually take from, so spying activities on us, or at least, discovered ones, remained low. We mainly had Core Members and Researchers, consisting of lore writers and builders.

Further from that, we branched out into constant diplomacy between other factions, such as Nexus and Daedalus, so the chain of command was semi-divided, but there were no contenders for power other than Quill; the guy was the only one keeping us in check and getting us all killed."

- Kirbo

"We mainly relied off of a democratic system, with members being able to weigh in for election of core members. Midway through our lifespan, we hosted an election for Vice Overseer as well. Once Quill stepped down, I was promoted from Vice Overseer to Overseer. As Kirbo wrote, we were documented as a religion despite acting more as a faction."

## Foreign Policy

"No getting involved in wars. EoN (we shortened it for convenience) was not active in combat or any political feuds. Multiple alliances with either the Nexus Empire or Inferno or Daedalus were made.

A small bit of factions were infiltrated or straight up absorbed, like the Empire of Aghe and the leaking of Caroleanvs attack plans and coords, but we don’t talk about that :p"

- Kirbo

Another note is that for the most part, the EotN were allies with the Caroleans, despite initial opposition & the eventual coord leaking.

## Bases

Nether Fortress, occupied for no more than a combined time of half an hour, before being stabbed.

Nether Village, lasted about an IRL week and two days. One of the most successful builds we made ever.

## Accomplishments

* Taking over there the Empire of Aghe
* Forming the first Nether village and settlement
* Somehow not involved in any major wars
* We had a cool nether fortress base…. for about half an hour. Or so.

## Members

BleedingQuill/TheEternalQuill: The first leader of EoN, kept us all in check and organized us. He was the first person to build a nether portal in Magic’s death island event, and was notified a bit too late that nether was disabled: they didn’t foresee anybody surviving and persisting an hour just to access the Nether.

Toast Roll: The first vice leader and second leader of EoN, great at organizing and consistently kept us all alive for at least three months, before the server collapsed. He did the best that he could.

Gordon/Frank/Catboy George: The second vice leader, funny as hell and made nice lore contributions.

Skye: Helped a lot in the lore building, made a lot of entries and was responsible for many of the projects we did.

Kirbo: (That’s me!) Head Researcher, made some of the first lore entries in server history, organised member joining and infiltration of other factions. Somehow got promoted in Caroleanvs?

Candlewick: One of the most satisfying people to work with, tons of fun to be with and made nice lore.

Someone Here: Former Head Researcher, predecessor of all lore writing and responsible for initial lore ideas and concepts, before vanishing.
