Eternis

The Eternis Flag

The Eternis Faction is the oldest known faction of CreatureCraft SMP (Lore-wise) and most referred to as 'Pink Faction' by those who gleam into their choice of a color pallete. They are mostly known for their past war-mongering state, yet are now trying to prove themselves as a peaceful and prosperous faction amongst the others. Eternis is covered in mystery, and it's main appeal story-wise is uncovering Eternis' secrets and ancient history; Especially that of it's equally mysterious leader, Jeremiah Jones.

## Geography and Economy

### Climate & Biomes

Eternis covers a large range of different biomes, but it's main center is primarily of Plains broken up by rivers and a large bay area. The outer sections consist of dense oak and dark oak forests, with the southern region dipping into an Acacia biome with a tropical ocean.

### Nature

#### Flora

Eternis is well known for their Azalea trees and flowers, alongside their most sacred Golden Apple Orchard south of the Aurelia island. Other flowers and wood include walnut trees, peonies, lavender, and foxgloves.

#### Fauna

The lands of Eternis flourish with wildlife, with their main animal being horses. Because of their practicality in war and show, Eternis, especially in Aurelia, is well known for their Equestrian Tournaments and pure-bred horses. Other important animals include Aurelian Otters, Shima Enaga, and Aurelian Lizards.

### Important Locations

#### Aurelia

The capitol of Eternis, referred to by many as it's beating heart. This island-based city is the main residential and commerical area for those who wish to live in Eternis as an outsider. Many mistake Aurelia to be the name of Eternis as a whole due to how interchangeable people use both names to describe it.

#### Novaesium Fields & The Eternis Colloseum

North of Aurelia resides Novaesium, known for its flower rich fields, hot spring, and of course; The Eternis Colosseum. The area is mainly used to host festivals and be a relaxing vacation spot for those seeking some time off the main island. Like all of Eternis, it is currently under light construction, thus the Horse Stables and [Unnamed] Restaurant are closed for the time being.

#### Industrial Town (Name Pending)

Located South of Aurelia, down in the Savannah plains, resides the industrial town of \_\_\_. This town supplies all of Eternis with food, wood, and many other commodities thanks to it's revolutionary redstone farms. (This area will house a tree, pumpkin/melon, and crop farm alongside a villager trading hall)

#### Misc

Eternis is an extremely old faction, and many ruins lay across its once war-torn land. Some speak of a destroyed castle on top of a snowy peak, while others talk of the ruins of small towns completely overgrown with gnarly vines. However, there is still a plethora of other thriving towns in Eternis, and some may be important for future quest lines relating to Eternis.

### Economy & Exports

Economy- Based on gold/emeralds

Exports- Quartz(From Piglin Sounder), Gold(From Badland Mines), Azalea Wood/Flowers, Horses, Mead/Honey/Honeycomb, Golden Apples/Foods in general, Rose-Gold, and pearls (USED to sell candles, but after the fire, they've been banned from Aurelia. They are seen rarely in more rural towns of Eternis though)

## History

### Ancient History

Nothing that hasn't been burned or hidden long ago remains of Eternis' past. The only thing left is the vague assumption that Eternis was more of a wandering army, burning or taking in the villages around it, than what is considered a faction in modern times.

### Conflicts (Pre-Fire)

#### Tri-Faction War

A war that had begun 1000 years ago, when Aurelia had been founded by the then ruler of Eternis. Two groups had broken off from Eternis, Redemsia and Astrad, and all three were in a brutal war against each other for control of the land. It had only ended recently, with the fighting ending five years after Redemsia had burned down Aurelia.

## Culture

### General Info

Eternis, described by many, is a proud and somewhat vain faction. They care more about appearance than anything else, and many know the more civil and 'polished' you are in Eternis society, the better life will be for you. This has caused Eternis, but especially the Capitol, to have a large gossip mill and it is said powerful families can fall apart if it does not keep up with the hushed whispers and covert talks. However, despite this mentality of being better than anyone else, their distaste for outsiders weighs heavier than large gaps in economic classes. No person in Eternis shall go without food or water or shelter, because they would rather be caught dead than show weakness to the outside world. The process of being accepted into Eternis' society as an outcast is slow, but once you've integrated, well. It's like you never want to leave.

### Demographics

The majority of Eternis is populated by humans, but other species such as Piglins are a prominent staple since Aurelia had been founded.

### Holidays & Festivals

#### The Aurelia Festival

This annual event is set on the day Aurelia burned to the ground, and was created not only to remember those who were lost in the flames but celebrate another thriving year after the tragedy.

## Laws

*These laws are specifically towards Aurelia, although many carry over to other towns governed by Eternis.*

### Fire Ban

Due to the Aurelia Fire, open-flame light sources such as torches and candles are banned. Only advisors and some authorized citizens are allowed to have scented candles, but lighting such luxuries is a criminal offense. This was a universally agreed upon law, and many alternatives such as a magic-based 'flame' and bottled fireflies have become popular among the population.

### The Aurelia Mine

Any attempt at entering the blocked off entrance of the abandoned coal mines is prohibited, with the punishment ranging from a hefty fine to execution. The logic behind this is that the mines became extremely unstable after The Fire, thus a magical barrier was put in place encompassing the entire island to keep sinkholes from forming. However, the mine entrance is the only known location to have a weak point so routine inspections can be made. No official statement was made as to why the punishment can be severe to the point of execution, but citizens speculate it is to deter the curious from entering a highly dangerous area.

### Rosegold

All citizens are required to have a full set of Rosegold armor to signify their allegiance to Eternis. This armor is only required to wear for certain events and is considered to be more of a symbol than that of practical armor. Many citizens use this law to exhibit their wealth by adorning the sets with numerous jewels and trinkets.

### Other Important Laws

* Stealing (and griefing) is a high offense, although since the new changes, no execution has been held on this charge
* New buildings cannot be constructed in Aurelia without authorization from Ms. Payne. Outside of the capitol is on a case-by-case basis
* All outsiders must check in when visiting Aurelia unless for open events such as festivals, etc.
