Earferana Chronicles

**Earferana Chronicles** is a worldbuilding project and a former game based in a private Discord server and this wiki. The project is about a planet named Earferana on which many events happened, from wars to pandemics. The current year in the project is 1200 altrough this will be the subject of a future change.

## History

Concept of Earferana Chronicles first appeared on 15th October 2021, since then a game has started to develop and more players joined, eventually resulting in creation of this very wiki, a bot, lore and a dedicated community to it. In March the project moved from the Bodroum Leauge to it's own server, which was originally created to test the bot.

### No Games (14th June 2022-8th January 2023)

In June a announcement regarding the game was made, in which the creator of it was thinking about changing it to a simple worldbuilding project, 9 days later Earferana Chronicles officially changed from a game to a worldbuilding project, a status which is unchanged to this day. In July there was a competition to make a map of Earferana with countryballs, won by DaveN3RDY, the creator of Ernistan Empire, in the same month the Earferana Questions started appearing, while supposed to be daily it often missed days due to lack of ideas for questions. On September, focuses of the month started appearing.

### Post-Year Shift (8th January 2023-Present)

On 16th December, a poll appeared asking members what year should the project shift to, while 1150 recieved the majority of the votes, 1200 was picked instead due to year shifts being slow, this is the only time poll results didn't agree with what was ultimately chosen. On 3rd January 2023 the date for the year shift was revealed which was the 8th January due to it also being the date of a new map releasing. While the latter postponed indefinetly, the year shift wasn't.

In Mid-Febuary the first FoTM poll appeared, which was won by Culture/Cuisine. After that a great streak of demotivation appeared which effectively ceased the release of new lore, this cancelled the planned March and May polls.

This ceased during summer after Acepogs launched the Modern Earferana Server, DCNFY was replaced by DaveW1 and a new feature (Today in Earferana) was released. In August FoTMs reappeared after ideas for those ran dry few months before. Earferana Questions, which also suffered from a lack of ideas was tied to the current FoTM, meaning that questions were releated in one way to the FoTM.

On September 30th, 2 polls and several announcements were released, regarding the privatisation of EC, future FoTM, 2nd Anniversary and partnering with VW Wiki. A month later 3 polls appeared, once again for the next FoTM, division of the Timeline page and the creation of the @Polls role. In December, plans to replace all irl religions with fictional ones and for the next year shift were released. At the end of the month several polls regarding the nature of the FoTM polls were done, with the next Focus being chosen on 3rd January. Three days later, the discord server was made private, another three days later a logo was finally made by Ic0c for this project.
