### First Settlement

The legend empire first found the island on the 7th of May 2023, and they began construction on the bases builds on the 27th of that month. A castle, village, garden and more were built in the area and the peaceful base on the mushroom island prospered.

### Conflict

#### 17 August

The conflict began between legend empire and the counter coalition on the 17th of August after the addition of Harmony into the iron alliance and the publicising of the treaty, to troll the new alliance efforts were led by Renegade the group Wolfenheim (Team furry, Chezter believers, 2b2e peace coalition) to troll the members of the clans and on the 17th the counter coalition was formed. After the forming of the counter coalition they began to build adjacent to the legend empire’s mushroom island base, and they began to troll the discord. The alliance was in disarray but it was agreed neither side would grief each other.

#### 18 August

On august 18 the leaders of the legend empire made their way to the base. The alliance began to coordinate on twitter and a policy of “No war, No surrender” began, that entailed no aggression but still maintaining control over all their bases, the counter coalition continued building Wolfenheim and it’s defensive walls. This like troll faces and mapart being iconic to it. Hemuli and Jackforg also attempted to chunk ban the entire area but it was stopped so that their method wouldn’t be patched.

#### 19 August

As august 19 began David built up walls between the twin bases with no man’s land between them that both sides could enter at their own risk. The walls were covered in stone bricks and cobblestone with towers and bamboo. After the placing of a Russian flag in the Ukrainian controlled base of the legend empire to anger them a skirmish broke out between uihaga (hall) and David that resulted in no casualties.

#### 20 August

On august 20 both sides had dug into their defensive positions and the alliance was keeping the policy of waiting them out, with the walls being completed. Although the confirmation that all clans were to “be trolled” acted as a warning. The sheep called Shrek was also stolen from the empire and placed in Wolfenheim. Additionally GoldenMeerkat was also given leadership of Wolfenheim on this day.

#### 21 August

The 21st was full of lag as Wolfenheim engaged in boat and button warfare against the legend empire, filling one of the border towers with boats and the mycelium around it with buttons drastically reducing fps in the border region. Wolfenheim also destroyed the bamboo defences in no man’s land used by the legend empire. In response the legend empire flooded the buttons and destroyed the boats on their side of the border.

#### 22 August

Parkour was built by Wolfenheim on the legend empire side of the border with severingtooth joining them on the 22nd. Hexagonius3777 also came to the base adding an “obsidian sponge” to the interior of the walls and expanding/reinforcing them along the coastline. Furthermore cobwebs and bamboo was added to slow any advances, and the base was mapped by landed.

#### 23 August

On the 23rd GoldenMeerkat released a video showcasing Wolfenheim, in the end portion of the video he entered a mineshaft that ran into the legend empire base, showing that they had developed a network of tunnels, after seeing the video Hexagonius blocked some of them off with obsidian. Hexagonius3777 was also framed as the greifer of Avalon by Darius members (this was untrue). The base walls were almost doubled in height with bamboo being planted along the top of it and arrow holes at the base of the wall.

#### 24 August

The 24th much the same as the 23rd was full of wall building by the legend empire side, and refilling the tunnels under the base, plans were also made by Hexagonius and landed to establish a fortress on an island behind of Wolfenheim with the beginnings of a small fortress and naval base being built on it. As the previous unclaimed islands became part of the Mushroom knights portion of the base.

#### 25 August

On the 25th Hemuli left the base, with this valuable opportunity Hexagonius3777 annexed the eastern seaboard of Wolfenheim starting to build a wall across it and declaring it as a part of the iron alliance maritime territory. After Pumpkin saw Hexagonius in the newly annexed territory Hemuli went back to the base and blew up a portion of the costal wall to try to kill Hexagonius. The new annexed territory was abandoned and part of the eastern coast wall of the legend empire was was destroyed in the confusion. They then tried to make an obsidian box around Hexagonius to drown him. Boats were placed to lag it and the box was filled with dirt, suffocating him and lagging anyone trying to free him. Hexagonius was suffocated but due to the extreme lag  he respawned in the box at the base, and was freed by landed. The lag caused by it was so intolerable that the eastern coast of both bases was rendered uninhabitable.

#### 26 August

On the 26th of August Hexagonius reinforced the annexation by building a new wall in the area that had been abandoned prior due to the east coast skirmish, although much of the annexed territories were rendered useless due to the lag machine. The removal of the lag machine also properly began with Hexagonius removing e chests while the legend empire removed boats. With this the lag in the area dropped to a level where blocks were now placeable, and with the obsidian Hexagonius reinforced the annexed area’s walls, completely ringing the naval base in obsidian. Hexagonius was also killed by Chezter on the legend empire side of the border (although he did apologise). Hexagonius then returned to the base and poured lava over the boats of the lag machine breaking them and drastically improving the frame rate. Chezter also built a tower on the woldfenhime side of the border and built a quartz sign reading “Hexa” over the base. Obsidian upside down T were also placed inside the naval base. The new walls of the annexed territories were torn down by wolfenheim, ending the occupation of the eastern sea region but keeping the island fortress. A fist made of obsidian was then constructed on the legend side of the border, dubbed by the alliance as the statue of resistance, with GoldenMeerkat and severing tooth terraforming the small area around it into grass. Around this time it was discovered that the legend empire’s camp on the southern island was destroyed, (thought to be in retaliation for the annexation)

#### 27 August

The 27th was the beginning of the mobilisation of the iron alliance as the base coordinates were shared and many came to prepare for escalation of the conflict. A fort was constructed on the South Islands and the camp was repaired. In the early hours of the day lava was poured over the fist and a small portion of the wall was destroyed by Wolfenheim. Hexagonius was attacked by Darius while removing the Hexa sign over their base, although he managed to escape through the caves and sea to the south camp. The south camp was then destroyed again following this but the fort adjacent to it was left alone. The lag machine was finally fully fixed although the obsidian ruminants of it still littered the east seaboard. In the afternoon end crystals were placed in the naval fort although they weren’t exploded, in retaliation Hexagonius extended the wall into the previously annexed territory and made it of pure obsidian. With 3 homes being built to reinforce their claim. After this it was discovered that the grassy peninsula had had it’s grass striped clean turning it into dirt. hexagonius also pvped Darius (unsurprisingly lost).

### Destruction

#### August 28

Taitai had arrived at the base due to the mobilisation, he was a legend empire member but he had betrayed the clan, according to him due to discrimination due to being Japanese. On the 28th both bases were attacked and although Chezter was able to convince the greifer to stop the attack but it was too late as most of the base had been destroyed by end crystals with a few homes remaining on the empire side and the house tower and most homes on the Wolfenheim side, with the naval fort’s crystals being detonated although the new homes in the annexed territories and the alchemists towers were surprisingly untouched. Following the greif GoldenMeerkat built a great obsidian tower around the house-tower, and built a massive obsidian circle in the sky over the annexed territory resembling the spawn castle. GoldenMeerkat also left some wool sheared from the legend empire’s sheep banana in the annexed territory as a sign of solidarity. The rebuilding effort began by both sides, with the block man being rebuilt in Wolfenheim with half the village and the garden in the empire.

#### August 29

On the 29th the base was hit with another round of attacks, all of the wall castles were destroyed again and all houses on both sides were attacked and destroyed by Hemuli (stating “base had to go”). Amazingly the small huts in the annexed territories and the castle on the southern islands weren’t destroyed but the base was far beyond rebuildable, with Hemuli leaking the coordinates in 2b2e’s chat. David was also accidentally killed by Darius. The walls were the last part of the bases, they still stretched along the continent and only had one breach all the way through. A reminder of the battle that once shook this land.

### Aftermath

The feared second attack of Wolfenheim never came, and it ceased to exist, the iron alliance would dip in activity but remained, with the legend empire moving to it’s other bases.
