Nanjing (Delta Earth)

**Nanjing** was a city on Delta Earth and the capital city of the Chinese Empire. The city was mostly built by Fettga and Flie. The first and most noteable building was a huge wooden palace in the center of the city, built by the empire's leader Mircy, and also was the first ever building of Nanjing.

### Layout and History

The city was constructed around the wooden temple which was built on a hill. The palace, which had a foundation built out of cobblestone, was the first ever building in Nanjing. It contained a secret basement which purposed a living for some villagers. On top of the cobblestone basement, the temple held a big throne room, which a golden throne and a red carpet leading to it. It was also the housing from some of Mircy's dogs.

In proximity of the palace, a small park was built. For some time, this was used as a secret hangar, at a time where Delta Earth had introduced a plane add-on. Later the park was re-purposed as a space to grow and farm wood from trees, mainly dark oak wood. It was surrounded by a residence of one citizen by the name of MrTerrariaPrime. The small house also contained a secret basement. Another building stood right next to the park, a planned hotel which had room for eight guests, although the hotel never saw an official opening day.

Going north in the city, you were able to find two buildings. One of them was a smaller temple, built by Flie. It contained a wall map of Asia. Right next to Flie's temple was his house, which was built in a similar, matching style. The two buildings were later accomponied by the Nanjing Cobblestone Bridge, which was a brand new concept at the time, although it's building style was fairly simply because it only contained one material. It's purpose was to easily travel over the river of Nanjing and easily and safely travel to Mongolia.

In the southern part of Nanjing, Fettga's residence, another small temple and the second Cobblestone Bridge were found. This section had a more harbour touch to it, with many chests and crates laying around. Not far in the western part of Nanjing layed the foundation of the Nanjing Arena, although it was never completed. Same goes for an untitled blue skyscraper duo-tower.

On the eastern coast, there were was only one mentionable building, a giant statue build by Fettga, the now known Statue of Myru. It's depiction is not known.

### Unfinished Projects

Nanjing was planned to have a underground train network, from which you could have easily travel around the city and other parts of the empire. The foundation of the Nanjing Arena was party completed, it's construction was interrupted multiple by either griefing or reverts of the realm. Fettga's residence was also never completed as well as the interior of the newly established smaller temple in the near of his building.

### Attacks by griefers

Due to it's enormous size and relatively close proximity to Delta Earth's spawn on Mt. Everest, Nanjing got attacked by griefers multiple times. One of the more known attacks happened on April 30th 2020, which eventually led to the closure of Delta Earth. The palace was partly destroyed and signs were found stating that the griefers claim the land for the "Mongolian Empire".

### Nanjing-Tour Video

The player Flie uploaded a video of a tour of the city onto YouTube on May 1st of 2020, the date of closure of Delta Earth. It has no commentary and is depicting the city for roughly six and a half minutes.
