Library of Athénóian

The **Library of Athénóian**, also called the ***Téi’livr***, is a library in Athénóian and the largest in the Chase Empire. It was constructed by NovumChase in January 2024 in the Chasist Idyllicist style.

## Design

The prominent exterior roof of the Library inspired by the the John C. Hodges Library, though with extensive greenery atop it befitting the style of the city.

The interior of the building comprises a massive atrium with nine stacks of bookshelves centered around a statue of a quill entitled *enau* ("ink"). Several chiseled bookshelves lie at the rear of the building. The floor of the central atrium is inscribed with the word *gwerchan*, meaning "to teach".
Deforestation Company

The **Deforestation Company** was a Chaseville-based woodcutting firm from 2013 to 2016. It presumably offered deforestation services performed by AxeSlasher.

The company was located in an oak-leaf building created during Chaseville's expansion curtailed by the creation of Lorence. The structure was destroyed during Lorence's expansion in the summer of 2016; the company did not survive.
Ill Symphonies for the Commoner

***Ill Symphonies for the Commoner*** is an in-universe studio album by the fictional duo the **Celty Crew** comprising AuJy and NovumChase. It is sold in the ChaseMart in Baranoc and, though produced by AuJy himself, is backed by ChaseCorp.

The album's cover features an unclad Chase and AuJy in Chasist garb. It is a named disc of Lena Raine's "otherside".
Mount of Eons

The ***Mount of Eons*** sculpture is a mountain-carving in the Highlands northwest of Stonereach along the road to the Kawaii Rainbow Garden. It features several builders in commemoration of the Fourth Era.

It was originally constructed by Chase on 25 May 2023, though additions have been made since.

Colossus of Aquintus

The **Colossus of Aquintus** is the tallest statue on Chasecraft, having surpassed the Pixelart Desert's Enderman upon its completion by AuJy in June 2023. Located in Aquintus, it is a central symbol of the Epicurean Hegemony.

The colossus depicts *Aeletus*, a legendary navigator of Aquintus.

## Trivia

* The structure of the statue is inspired by the Colossus of Rhodes, an ancient statue of the Greek sun-god Helios that numbered among the wonders of the world.

Mormon influence on Chasecraft

**Mormon influence on Chasecraft** comprises a wide range of architectural and cultural inspiration lent to Chasecraft by the LDS Church since the server's inception in 2012. Though no members on the server have been practicing members of the Church, it has nonetheless given disproportionate influence to its building practices.

## History

The Utah-set *Great Brain* series of children's books were formative influences on NovumChase's childhood, hence the naming of Adenville. However, though the books were critical of the practices of the Mormon pioneers, Chase was nonetheless inspired by the appearance of Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution (ZCMI) and created an store of the same name with redstone lamps and nether brick on the early main world in 2012.

Architecture, particularly religious architecture, was especially influenced by the LDS Church beginning in the Third Era. Coffeecreek Baptist Church, built by AuJy in Saginaw during the summer of 2020, was directly inspired by the Salt Lake Temple; the angel Moroni can be seen at the top. The Church was the first of several buildings that would eventually be inspired by LDS architecture. Both the Church of Lorence and the Church of Pinewood, built by NovumChase, are modeled after LDS wards. The Lorence Temple, built around the same period—December 2021—was a direct reflection of the Rexburg Idaho Temple.

Akamigakatta Hotel

**Akamigakatta Hotel** (Japanese: 赤みがかったホテル, *Akamigakatta hoteru*, lit. "reddish hotel") is a large hotel located in Ado. It is the only functionable hotel in Ado and the only building currently under the control of the Rakku Clan, the secondary clan of Ado.

## Design

The hotel was constructed using a light-dark, descending gradient block palette. The palette consists of Dead Brain Coral Block (bottom), Cobblestone (middle) and Andesite (top) with bricks and red nether bricks being used to construct the *irimoya* roof.

The building, like all other buildings in Ado, is adorned from top to bottom with a unique water and air flow system: the Ado Ventilation and Pipe System (AVAPS) installed by the Ado Ventilation and Pipe Installation Company (AVAPIC).
Awesomekid48

awesomekid48's approximate skin; the original is irretrievable

**awesomekid48** or **Keegan** is a former Chasecraft player of the First Era. Although he had played an integral part in the old world, where he participated in building Union City and constructed *Guy Attacking a Creeper*, his presence on the main world was brief. On it, established Obsidilandia, the military base that opposes Bedrockia, in October 2012, and built the Iron Mansion. He founded Awesome City under Keegaria on the Creative world in late 2013 and early 2014 before falling into inactivity.

Among his other accomplishments was inspiring Xcristo to form Redstonia and constructing the Lava Tower, a project awesomekid built in tandem with HottyToddy333. He is also known for the destruction of the desert temple that eventually became the Pyramidal Ruins. Renamed **Keegan48**, he visited the server in December 2021 to review his past creations.
Allhouse

The **Allhouse** (Highland Gaelic: *Taigh-comhairle*) is the seat of the advisory council to the Emperor of the Chase Empire. It is located along the Chase River and is directly adjacent to Chaseville.

The only organization represented on the council is the Alliance for the Empire.

## Design

The Allhouse is directly patterned after the Alþingishúsið, the seat of the Icelandic parliament—hence the creation of the name "Allhouse". A central chamber features a map of Chasecraft, and upstairs rooms hold conference tables. A poppy garden behind the building commemorates two of Chase's relatives.

   A promenade was added in front of the Allhouse on 14 June 2023. It features miniature azalea trees and statues commemorating the leaders of a civilization founded by Chase and others for a MagicGum video.
Fireballs

The **fireballs** are collections of floating fire charges found above particularly old chunks of the server. Produced by a transition between one of the many versions of Minecraft that have passed between October 2012's version 1.3.2 and the present day, they are unkillable without commands.

The fireballs hung particularly over northern Redo, and a series of clusters and isolated ones could be found throughout the server's central regions between 2014 and 2021. They were left untouched until December 2021, when the widespread use of commands began to take them down. Nearly 1,300 fireballs hung near the Lenorian Jungle until their removal on 3 January 2022.
Capital City

Capital City's Main Street, May 2020

**Capital City** is the collectively recognized hub of Chasecraft, located in a terraformed jungle approximately 500 blocks south of the Spawn Arena. Founded by Chase in 2013, it was thoroughly expanded by trexation, whose company, Trex Inc., led Capital City's design and expansion in the Capital brutalist style for the rest of the year.

It served as the base of operations for Trex Inc., which had been previously headquartered at Modernville, and is the home of the New Server Council Building, World Court, Museum of Server History, and Trex University. After 2013, however, the city experienced a major slowdown compared to other areas of the server, a trend only interrupted by the Museum of Server History in 2020 and AuJy Manor in 2022 before the city saw renewed interest during the Fourth Era.

The City's Imperial properties are maintained by the Committee for Architectural Management. The city is the sole access point for the survival side.

## Design

Capital City's central axis is its Main Street, an extension of the Riverlands Highway that plunges south into the City. A central park is surrounded by some of the city's earliest businesses, including a bowling alley. The high density of Main Street sees gradual spreading into more spacious, low-density lots as distance from the center of the city increases.

Though early days saw considerable homogeneity under the Capital brutalist style, the various influences on the city culminated in more diverse designs during the Fourth Era, as epitomized by Saint Olga's Cathedral and the city's Eldenville District.

Anniversary Museum

The **Anniversary Museum** is a historical monument just to the south of Redstonia. Constructed on the night of 16–17 December 2021 by NovumChase, it contains several replicas from the old world and two texts celebrating the server's then-upcoming ten-year anniversary in April 2022.

The museum's west wing contains a cross-section of the courtroom of the island city-state of Redstonia as well as a homestead from the banks of the Skeleton River. The east wing contains a recreation of the post office from the original Union City.
Plavo

Newly renovated buildings in October 2022

"*Yes, we are modernizing . . . we hope to do the whole city.*"
―AxeSlasher as he standardizes Plavo, 2 November 2013
**Plavo** (IPA: /ˈplɑː.voʊ/; *PLAH-voh*; Peppish: *Ploink*) is a city-state bordering Redo and Eldenville in the Riverlands that is under the authority of PEV. It was founded in the place of Budderville along the Chase River in 2013, though the name had previously also referred to a settlement on the old world in 2012.

After being standardized by Chase in November 2013, Plavo bore considerable resentment toward the Chase Empire and threw off the standardized style during the Plavian Renaissance in the fall of 2022. It is subsequently the only place on Chasecraft where segregation is enforced between Imperial and non-Imperial players.

## History

Plavo was first founded by Paige on a tract of land south of early modern Redo. Ashwin owned an estate there in an area planned to be Budderville, but it was destroyed and replaced by a Plavian settlement in approximately mid-2013. The initial style of Plavo remains unclear, though in November of that year it was "modernized" into a stone-brick, smooth-stone-slab and spruce-wood style that combined elements of Capital City and Redo. The origin and uniformity of the style is credited to standardization and the influence of Chase; signs from 2014 in Redo claimed that Plavo was only a "PEV ethnic neighborhood" in Redo.

During the first eight years of its existence, Plavo was home to houses owned by several prominent players as well as a historic early branch of Axe Inc., later ChaseCorp. In 2020, the city annexed a square of land to its northeast, bringing to border Eldenville. Circa 2021, however, the politics of the city took a turn—the Axe Inc. branch was removed and rebranded as an AT&T building.

### Renaissance

*Main article: Plavian Renaissance*

In October 2022, as opposition to standardization and ChaseCorp swelled, Paige undertook a massive renovation of Plavo known as the Plavian Renaissance, completely overhauling the style with prismarine and other turquoise blocks. The houses of awesomebeast2002 and trexation were replaced with a café segregated between pro- and anti-Chase clients. The Imperial flag was burned in a public square, where the old fountain and shrubbery were replaced with grand new waterworks; the anti-imperial sentiments led to Imperial opposition that manifested in the construction of *The Imperial Sword* in Redo on 14 October 2022.
Picea bellana

***Picea bellana***, commonly known as the **Bella spruce**, is a medium-sized evergreen spruce tree growing to 5-12 blocks tall, and with a trunk diameter of up to 1 block.

The spruce is native to Aquintus, Summopolis and surrounding regions of the Epicurean Hegemony, where it occurs in small populations and in large non-natural populations. It grows in moderate to high altitudes from 0 to 200 blocks, growing along streamsides in mountain valleys where moisture levels in the soil are greater than the otherwise low rainfall in the area would suggest.

The Epicurean government has declared this tree the national tree of Epicurea. Structurally, the tree was first described by Bella in June 2023.
Chaseville

**Chaseville** (Saxon-English: *Brooksbend*) is a suburb of Redo located on an isle in the Chase River. It is the second-oldest town in the Chase Empire, thought to have been founded just days after Redo. Its largely untouched downtown is one of the best-preserved survivals of First Era architecture on the server.

Though Chaseville once reached nearly to the city center of modern-day Lorence, its size was severely curtailed in June 2016. The only addition since have been the Imperial Allhouse, built in 2020, and a U-Net station added in January 2024.

## Design

Chaseville rests on a small island along the Chase River in the Riverlands. Bridges connect its west end to Lorence and its east end to the Riverlands Highway. An ice cream store, hotel, pizzeria and three other buildings form its core. A statue of 123sharp can be found on the south-central area of the island, and a monument to the MCAR can be found on the very southern tip of the isle.

## History

Chaseville was loosely modeled on the Delta Atrium at Gaylord Opryland. It first appeared in writing on 9 November 2012 as Chase distinguished it as "across the bridge" from Redo.

The city was thoroughly expanded in the Imperial Timeline of September 2016, though these expansions were not made on the real world—a plaque found on the Timeline explains the city's history:

> *Chaseville was founded in 2012 at the latest as both a stopover town for travel between Redo and Modernville and a place for the builders of the Chase Empire to theorize and test new building styles and techniques. This, of course, led to widespread construction of miniscule but stylish homes which spanned hundreds of square blocks between present-day Chaseville and Modernville. However, due to spacial issues presented by the creation of a new Chase Empire capital, Lorence, these buildings were destroyed and Chaseville was reduced to the small space of water-encompassed land from which the town originated. The town underwent vast expansions in September 2016 after its reductions in territory in June of that same year, eventually creating one of the highest residence densities on the server due to the large buildings and miniscule land area.*

Heartwood Park

**Heartwood Park** is a small park complex in Redo. It was built by NovumChase during the summer of 2016 to commemorate the city's renewal during the server's second era. A neighbor park, Maynard Park, was created later in the year for the Imperial Timeline but was removed.

## Design

The park consists of a small gravel path surrounded by custom-made trees. At its entrance is a sign stating its purpose and date of construction.
Almercroff University

**Almercroff University** is a private research university in Baranoc. Founded in June 2023, it was the first educational institution in Baranoc and the second instrument of higher education constructed in the Chase Empire after the University of Redo.

The University was named for the family of **J. L. M. Almercroff**, a fictional historian created in Baranoc in 2022 as the author of an essay on Eldenville's contrast with Colorworld.
Imperial Mall

The **Imperial Mall** is a complex in northern Lorence and western Chaseville containing several key buildings of the government of the Chase Empire. It was proposed by AuJy in mid-January 2022, and construction of the main features lasted from 22 January to 24 January. Further buildings were slowly added in subsequent months and years.

## Design

The Mall consists of the Great Imperial Bank and ChaseCorp Headquarters atop a hill, the Allhouse behind them and a park dedicated to the First Era between them. Downhill is a complex containing embassies, a Mojangist temple, and a park dedicated to the Third Era.

## Notable features

* Allhouse
* ChaseCorp Headquarters
* Great Imperial Bank
* Park of the Founders
* Park of the Renewal
* Temple Aaron Yaakov

### Embassy row

* Eldenville Embassy in Lorence
* Epicurean Embassy in Lorence
* PEV Embassy in Lorence
Imperial Penitentiary

The **Imperial Penitentiary** is a prison of the Chase Empire. Built adjacent to Redo in Artic City circa 2014, it was relocated to the shore of the Upper Western Sea in 2020 and its original premises used for the Bells Home.

## Prisoners

Beginning in 2019, it had been holding a parrot imprisoned for political crimes—a reference to an old Soviet joke about a parrot and the KGB—but the parrot was released following the relocation of the penitentiary in 2020.

Rockmorton was imprisoned there on 11 May 2023, but was broken out by Trissha the following day.
Riverlands

The **Riverlands** (Peppish: *Roinkloinks*) refer to the central, river-crossed region of the server dominated by the Chase Empire. At the heart of the Broadlands, the Riverlands roughly reach Bedrockia in the south, Eldenville in the east, Redo in the north and Lorence in the west. It is the source of the Riverlands Highway, and contained wholly within it are the cities of Chaseville and Plavo.

The Chase River flows out of the Riverlands into the Great Northern Ocean, and the Book River flows out of it into the Lenorian Sea.
Artic City

Artic City in 2014, fireballs floating in the foreground

**Artic City** was a suburb of Redo built circa 2014. Named for ArticRanger but built by NovumChase, it contained what would later be known as the Imperial Penitentiary, then unnamed and without windows.

The City was destroyed during standardization; the Penitentiary was moved to the Upper Western Sea and replaced by the Bells Home. The only remaining structure from Artic City is a pine tree dedicated to ArticRanger.
Old world

The **old world**, also occasionally called **Paleoterra**, describes the first of Chasecraft's two main maps. It ran intermittently for just over six months from March 25th to October 4th, 2012, during which awesomekid48, AxeSlasher, Puzzle4Puppy, Snake908, Trexation, and Xcristo were its main players.

## Geography

The central hub of the server was Union City, south of which were Mistral City and Republic City and north of which were Redstonia and Plavo. Union City, Redstonia, and Plavo later became the hamlet of Union City, the port city of Redstonia, and the town of Plavo on the current world.

## History

The world was generated at 12:41:59PM Central Time on 25 March 2012. The first weeks of the old world were played on survival mode, during which alangaaaa became the first banned player. The first users generally huddled around the War Base before creative mode was first discovered. Shortly after the discovery, Snake908, who had built Snake Island, griefed the server—though it survived on backups—and became the second banned user.

Charcoal was the currency of the old world, and real estate was its most lucrative industry. Awesomekid48 Estate, Chase's Real Estate, Xcristo's Estate and Trex Inc. were early companies in the real estate industry, which involved hemming off land with redstone dust and selling it for charcoal.

Changing between the creative and survival gamemodes was frequent, even months after creative mode was discovered.

First House

"*ill bild the house*"
―Snake908 of the First House, 31 March 2012
The **First House**, built on 31 March 2012, was the first permanent structure on Chasecraft's old world. It was built by Snake908 and Xcristo on a slope of Mount Everest suspended over a lake, and a trapdoor within allowed players to fall into the water below. The War Base, and later Union City, were eventually built downhill of the structure.

A replica of the House was constructed on the main world in the Shrine to Childhood in 2023.
Committee for Architectural Management

The **Committee for Architectural Management**, or **CAM**, is the Imperial governing body of all Capital City properties built by NovumChase.

The Committee places emphasis on the physical upkeep and beauty of Imperial properties in the city, though the Committee has renovated several structures of uncertain ownership and been criticized as a modern instrument of standardization.
Pixelart Desert

Some of the many sculptures in the Pixelart Desert

The **Pixelart Desert** is a neutral zone between Redstonia and Wines River in which pixelart is built across a vast desert. It has existed since November 2012, when the inaugural sculpture—a creeper head—was made by Xcristo and coolcat\_ethan.

## List of works

* Apple — NovumChase
* Arrow — coolcat\_ethan
* Bricks — Unknown, perhaps trexation
* Chainmail boots — Puzzle4Puppy
* Creeper head — coolcat\_ethan and Xcristo
* Enderman — Unknown. Between its construction circa 2012 and the completion of the Colossus of Aquintus in 2023, it was the tallest statue on the server.
* Farmer — NovumChase
* Footprint—coolcat\_ethan
* Golden leggings — Puzzle4Puppy
* Golden sword — coolcat\_ethan
* Herobrine — coolcat\_ethan
* Moobloom — NovumChase
* Poppy — NovumChase
* Red mushroom — NovumChase
* Skeleton skull — Unknown
* TNT block — Unknown
Eastern Wall

The **Eastern Wall** is an abandoned project originally intended to create a physical boundary at the eastern edge of the Chase Empire to define its borders against Lenor.

Though first meant to span roughly from the southern edge of Redstonia to the northern edge of Capital City, the only complete section hems the Southern Swamp Historical Park.
Park of Lorence

The **Park of Lorence** is a municipal park in western Lorence, forming the city's border with Modernville. The Roman Track had existed in its place previously, though eagle964 dismantled it for a project he never finished.

A birthday monument dedicated to the 19th birthday of 123sharp was mounted on a wall facing the park in September 2022. Beginning in the summer of 2023, parts of the park began to be dismantled for extensions to Lorence's embassy row. Epicurea's embassy was the first to do so.
Hometree

An entrance at the foot of the tree

**Hometree**, sometimes referred to as **the Hometree**, is an enormous tree rooted in the Lower Western Sea. Created by Bananna with additions by Daisy\_21, it contains the village of Ansburgh and is the largest artificial structure on Chasecraft.

Construction began on 12 September 2022 and persisted throughout the year before ceasing. The tree stands leafless in incompletion.

## Design

The tree is composed of hand-placed dark oak wood, towering well over one hundred blocks into the air. Its largest inner hollow is home to Ansburgh; a hanging village was planned for the upper hollows but was never constructed.

East of the tree, massive flowers dot the landscape while an Adonese airship watches from afar.
Ashwin123123

"*We will pwn!*"
―Ashwin to Xcristo about the Block War, 12 November 2012
**ashwin123123**, known shortly as **Ashwin**, is a former Chasecraft player of the First Era best known for his construction of the historical Block Mansion in Redo and Swan Tower in the Southern Swamp Historical Park.

During his time on the server, Ashwin was a prolific player and sent over 2,500 in-game messages. In addition to his towers, he built two settlements: Cakelandia atop a jungle tree and Budderville where Plavo now stands. Both cities were destroyed during standardization and are now lost, though Cakelandia is commemorated by a historical marker.

After Ashwin's passing in December 2022, the Ashwin Memorial was inaugurated in the Southern Swamp Historical Park.
Plavo (January world)

**Plavo** was a Plavian settlement on the January world during the Second Era. It was built among a naturally generated village on both creative and survival. It contained an embassy of the Chase Empire as well as an airport with an elytra net.

The name of the settlement is not clearly indicated by any signs or server logs, but the flying of the flag also used for Plavo on the main world indicates that, as with Eldenville, the settlement was merely a reflection of a main-world settlement on the January world.
St. Romund's Cathedral

**St. Romund's Cathedral** is a small church in Amortpoisson. As the only congregation of the Imperial Church in Alexia, it is the governing cathedral in the region. Located in the Imperial sector of the city, it was built with the district in May 2023 and named for Romund Aldor, the son of the Swithun for whom St. Swithun's Cathedral is named.

To the west of the cathedral is a two-room Imperial embassy. To its east are two small residences.

## Design

The appearance of the church is humble and tailored to stay within the limited boundaries of the Imperial zone of Amortpoisson. It contains a chapel with eight pews and an altar of gray and red candles.
Eldenville (January world)

**Eldenville** was a settlement on the January world in early 2017. It consisted of three known works—a municipal building which became a lost work, an airport, and a flag of Eldenville later recreated on the Eldenville of the main world.

The settlement was located south of New Redo, toward which the runway of its airport was situated. The airport was the most sophisticated in the world, containing runway lights, a gallery and a launch pad along with the elytra net typical of the Second Era.
Dirtdorten

"*he refuses to write the TRUE history that dirtdorten was DISCOVERED*"
―Paige, 16 May 2023
**Dirtdorten** (spawned 16 May 2023, stylized **dirtdorten**; Peppish: *Dirtdoinken*) is a donkey tethered in a wooded grove east of the Shrine to Childhood. He is the canonical cousin of Rockmorton. The discovery of Dirtdorten in a mushroom-filled meadow prompted the creation of Dirtdortenism, a central tenet of PEV.

His use as a prominent anti-Chase symbol has prompted considerable controversy and historical events ranging from the death of Grassmolten to the Culling of Eldenville.

## History

Dirtdorten was, according to Paige's canon, discovered near the Shrine to Childhood and corresponded with the reforestation of the area. He was consequently treated as a representative of a prophesized future renewal of Chasecraft. Dirtdortenism emerged accordingly.

Some weeks after the Culling of Eldenville, Dirtdorten was arrested and interned in Redo on 12 June 2023 for the incitement of violence. On 14 June 2023, he was relocated to the Dort Hub by Plavian authorities.
Saint Olga's Cathedral

**Saint Olga's Cathedral** is a Northern Orthodox church in Capital City constructed by AuJy in 2023. It was the first sanctuary of the Orthodox Chasist Church built beyond the Epicurean Hegemony.

## Design

The Cathedral was built using blocks already in architectural use in Capital City, though breaking from Capital brutalism in its more synthetic palette and ornate shape. It contains a small inner sanctuary with depictions of holy figures; outside, it is distinguished by its large dome of yellow wool and glowstone.
Imperial Infrastructure Ministry

The **Imperial Infrastructure Ministry**, officially the **Ministry of Infrastructure for the Chase Empire**, houses the infrastructural staff of the government of the Chase Empire. It was constructed by Chase in Baranoc July 2023.

## Design

The Ministry's design is influenced by the bold geometry of the Art Deco style, with tall, sandstone-framed light gray windows dominating the exterior with a shorter layer of small upper windows. The interior comprises one space with the Minister's office suspended on a quartz platform over the lobby and accessed via a rear fly shaft.
Dort Hub

The **Dort Hub** (Peppish: *Doink Hoink*) also called **Hubdorten**, is a Peppian Dirtdortenist building constructed where Eldenville once stood. The land for it was cleared during the Culling of Eldenville.

Given the destructive nature of its creation, it is regarded as the exemplar of Plavian standardization. The Sanctum of the Empire was built in response during the following month.

## Design

Four black beacons shine out of the top of a step pyramid made of end stone, obsidian and blackstone. A central altar at the top is the heart of the structure, overlooking the southern shores of the Red Sea.

Frog Mama's residence is at the northwestern corner of the Dort Hub.
Epicurean Embassy in Lorence

**Epicurean Embassy in Lorence** is the Epicurean Hegemony's diplomatic mission to the Chase Empire. It is located on the embassy row of Lorence and was built in June 2023 by AuJy.

## Design

The Embassy is of quartz and diorite composition. A welcome desk on the lower floor extends greetings from the Hegemon; a spiral staircase leads up to two desks on the upper level.
Hermit Chapel

The **Hermit Chapel at Aspro Lofos** or the **Hermit Cave Monastery** is a chapel dedicated to hermits or eremites and Fools for Chase at the Sheer Cliffs Lavra of the Imminent Atonement.

The Chapel is fit with depictions of saints and areas for prayer. It also, as per lavra tradition, has an underlying section for hermits to rest their heads as they pass through the monastery.

## Trivia

* The structure is based on the Sviato-Pokrovska Church in the Holy Mountains Lavra of the Holy Dormition.

### Notable projects

Imperial Chancellery, Island Estate, Parafeller Center, Lorence Temple, Temple Aaron Yaakov

"*Paige is the true redeemer. I mean, praise be to the Church.*"
―Para covering his tracks
**Para**, username **ioppenheimer** and formerly **eagle964**, is an player of Chasecraft who joined during the Second Era. He is most renowned for his design and creation of the Imperial Chancellery, Parafeller Center and Temple in the city of Lorence, which he closely helped to design.

His byname is derived from Paramountica, his *NationStates* nation.
Reunion Hall

The **Reunion Hall** is a structure at the western edge of Modernville. It was constructed in December 2021 preparation for the ten-year anniversary of the server—though the current world began in October 2012, the old world that inaugurated the server was opened on 1 April 2012.

The design of the Hall is a refurbished version of the Old Server Council Building, with twin fly shafts at the rear. Like the Building, its lower floor contains a conference room and its upper floor is home to several offices for the server's main players.

The Hall was collaboratively built by NovumChase and 123sharp on the night of 11–12 December 2021. 123sharp left a time capsule in his upstairs office as a testament to the time period.
Old Server Council Building

The **Old Server Council Building**, known during its use as the **Server Council Headquarters**, was the assembly building of the Server Council, an informal gathering of the server's players occasionally gathered for planning and dispute solution.

After the Building was griefed in the months after its construction, the Server Council transitioned to the New Server Council Building.

## History

The Building was constructed on the 3rd and 4th of January, 2013, by Trex Inc. to replace the Iron Mansion that existed on the site previously. After being badly griefed, it was eventually fully dismantled later in the year. The seat of the Server Council eventually became the New Server Council Building, built in late 2013 in Capital City.

A small section of the ruins of the Old Server Council Building was transported manually on survival mode to a spare room of the Imperial Chancellery, where it was stored until the creation of the Museum of Server History. The building's original architecture—especially its two prominent rear fly shafts—inspired the construction of the Reunion Hall in commemoration of Chasecraft's ten-year anniversary.
Orthodox Chasist Church

Looking into the interior of St. Almire's Cathedral

The **Orthodox Chasist Church** is a religious institution undergirding the Epicurean Hegemony. Bound to a canon widely called **Northern Orthodoxy**, it formed in the aftermath of a doctrinal schism from the Imperial Church in pursuit of stricter Chasist theology.

Founded by Hegemon-Patriarch Amen Diares X Antonii, its chiefest sanctuary is at Saint Almire's Cathedral in Summopolis. Its sanctuaries and practices are in-universe reflections of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

## Sanctuaries

"*im hungry*"
―Adam, 4 November 2012
**123sharp** or **Adam** is an active user of Chasecraft who has participated in every era. The founding architect of Eldenville, they are known mainly for the originality and innovation of their designs—every style, skin, name, or machine they use on Chasecraft is personally crafted by them. They are a sibling to Anna9876 and PandaMan\_\_.

Their first major project was the floating city of Colorworld, which they were pressured into burning during the standardization movement. Sharpville was their next project, though it failed to expand beyond its train station. They began work on Eldenville, a colorless opposite to Colorworld, around 2016. Their latest project is Enoch, a desert village just north of Capital City.

They co-own Swiss & Sharp Technologies with SwissJavaFork. In January 2022, they pioneered the WarpBook, which rendered teleporters obsolete.

"*We ended up blowing up half the server.*"
―AxeSlasher, 3 November 2012
The **Block War**, also later called the **Red Wars**, was a period in October and November 2012 in which the server experienced griefing and battles that devastated much of the Broadlands. It was a heightening of the reckless treatment of land already common during the First Era.

The term was coined by NovumChase, then AxeSlasher, on November 3rd, 2012, when he declared that a "Block War" had been responsible for destroying half of the known world. It persisted well into mid-November, with server members continuing to choose sides.

## Aftermath

Damage included the swampland surrounding Redo, the desert south of Redstonia, the Red Sea, the terrain that is now the Southern Swamp Historical Park, and what are now the Pyramidal Ruins. However, even beyond that, the wilderness was so deeply scarred that the terrain had still not fully healed by 2022, when the last remnants were generally corrected.

The environmental damage left behind by D-Day alone was visible for nearly eight years.
Chase

### Notable projects

Redo, Capital City, Cathedral of Sormithra, Chase City, Lorence, Pinewood, Quartzdale, Stonereach, Baranoc, Shrine to Childhood

"*I totally changed it but it looks good.*"
―Chase during an early standardizing, 5 January 2013
**NovumChase**, previously **AxeSlasher** among several other usernames and commonly known as **Chase** (Highland Gaelic: *Niall*), is the owner and namesake of ChaseCraft. He is Paige's brother, the chief architect of Redo and several other cities of the Chase Empire.

Accused of excessive Chasism and standardization, he is generally opposed by followers of Dirtdortenism and other anti-Imperial movementsm. Conversely, he is revered by the Imperial and Orthodox Chasist churches.

His skin was personally commissioned from Fieee with minor adjustments. His prior skin is thought to have been an Irish skin now unlisted.

## Names

Beyond *Chase* and *Niall* as Chase's co-official names in the Empire, others are used elsewhere on the server.

* Japanese (Ado): 皇帝チェイス, *Kōtei Cheisu* (lit. "Emperor Chase")
* Peppish (PEV): *Choink*

## History

Chase created the Chasecraft server—named ironically—in March 2012 as a private build server. His first city project was Union City on the old world; on the main world, it was Redo.

His most labor-intensive projects have included the Cathedral of Sormithra and Shrine to Childhood; his largest city project is Baranoc. His server-wide projects include such builds as the tenth-anniversary ones, including the Anniversary Museum, Reunion Hall and Anniversary Arch.

### YouTube

In addition to Chasecraft, NovumChase cameoed in the MrBeast video *Raiding Servers With 10,000 People!* (1m16s, 5m04s) and MagicGum video *500 Players Colonize Earth in Minecraft* (2m05s, 6m52s, 14m33s, 26m09s) in 2020 and 2022, respectively.
Park of the Founders

The **Park of the Founders** is a park in the Imperial Mall of Lorence, capital of the Chase Empire. It is fixed between ChaseCorp Headquarters and Great Imperial Bank.

In the park are nine stones—eight smaller ones are arranged around a larger one. On the central stone are inscribed the names of eight of the first Chasecraft players, and the remainder of the players of the First Era are inscribed in the eight surrounding ones.

Its Third-Era counterpart, the Park of the Renewal, can be found downhill.
New Redo

**New Redo** was an Imperial settlement on the January world. A Second Era successor to Redo, it was constructed with the same color palette but much more intricately and naturalistically. It was just south of Plavo and just north of Eldenville.

No signs or logs conclusively indicate the name of the settlement during the period, though, as several towns from the January world were meant to resemble earlier settlements from the main world and New Redo clearly corresponded to Redo, "New Redo" has been retroactively used as its designation.
ChaseCorp Headquarters

The **ChaseCorp Headquarters**, officially **ChaseCorp International Headquarters**, comprise the administrative complex of ChaseCorp, the leading national corporation of the Chase Empire. It is located at the northern end of Lorence, bordering the Allhouse in Chaseville.

## Design

The headquarters consist of a large building mirroring the style of the Allhouse but incorporating polished andesite, quartz, and clay. A large lobby and skylight are at the heart of the building; a statue of a globe is at its center. On the front façade of the building, the word "Chase" can subtly be seen in the stone above the entrance.

## History

ChaseCorp, previously Chase Inc., was historically headquartered in Redo; the current ChaseCorp office in Redo was built on 6 July 2019 to headquarter the company. However, ChaseCorp has been headquartered in its current campus in Lorence since its construction in January 2022 as a part of the Imperial Mall project of Chase and AuJy.
Birchleaf Clinic

**Birchleaf Clinic** is a medical facility located in central Baranoc. It was built on New Year's Eve 2021 and is noteworthy for the depth of its interior design.

## Design

The Clinic contains nine exam rooms, two procedure rooms, an imaging room, a pathology lab, a laundry room, two storage closets, two restrooms, a break room, two staff work rooms, a consulation room, two waiting areas and an IT closet.

Most notably, each area is serviced by a ventilation system that can be entered in the janitorial closet and used as a crawlspace for access to any part of the building. The Clinic was the first building on Chasecraft to feature an accessible vent system, the inspiration for which was partly derived from the AVAPS pipes of Ado.
Woodland Way

The **Woodland Way** denotes a stretch of rail connecting the Central Railroad of the Broadlands to the far southeastern towns grafted onto the server from the Creative world in 2022. Construction began in May 2023 and remains ongoing.

## History

The Way began as a way to ease the feeling of disjunction between the towns of the Creative world grafting—Awesome City, Bacon City, Chase City, Farmington, and Trexington—and those of the central server.

Construction of the first length of rail, from the Southern Swamp Historical Park to the tunnel, was done by NovumChase from 26 to 28 May 2023. The tunnel itself was built on 26 January 2024, and construction on the second length—to the Creative world proper—is ongoing.
Lorence Temple

The **Lorence Temple** is a religious site in Lorence, the capital of the Chase Empire, affiliated with the Imperial Church. Designed by eagle964 and built with revisions by NovumChase, construction on the exterior lasted from 20 to 24 December 2021. The interior was never finished.

As a recreation of a real LDS temple, the **Lorence Temple** is a prominent example of Mormon influence on Chasecraft.

## Design

The building is based on the Rexburg Idaho Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sheer quartz walls and a spire bearing the angel Moroni characterize its exterior.

Underneath the building can be found a 2012-era base filled with supplies; created by trexation, it was a contingency in the case that players became stuck on survival mode.
Republic City

**Republic City** was a short-lived project to build a far-southern frontier town thought to have been launched in mid- to late 2013 by NovumChase. 6,000 blocks south of the Spawn Arena, it was the most outlandish town in Chasecraft until the construction of Saginaw by AuJy in May 2020 some 96,000 blocks east of spawn.

It shares no relation with the Republic City of the old world.
Mistral City

"*We just blew up a prairie and used it as a city.*"
―AxeSlasher to awesomekid48, 12 June 2012
**Mistral City**, also spelled **Mystral City**, was a settlement of the old world built in the ruins of blasted-out mountains. It was connected to Union City via the Glass Bridge System.

It was largely a collective project pushed by AxeSlasher, though TheComputerNater gave it its name after the city of the same name featured in the *Shadow of Israphel* Minecraft YouTube series.
Baranoc

First Avenue, December 2021

**Baranoc** (IPA: /ˈbɛɹ.ə.nɒk/; *BAIR-ə-nok*; Saxon-English: *Barnock*, Highland Gaelic: *Ceann nan Daraich*) is an Imperial city situated northwest of the Spawn Arena. Its Sanctum of the Empire holds the Imperial throne.

Though work had begun during the week prior, the town was officially inaugurated when its city hall was completed on 28 December 2021. It is a twin city of Pinewood, which it borders across the Chase River.

## History

Like Redo, Baranoc is named for a city of the fictional country of URC—the United Republic of Chaselvania—a childhood invention of Chase during his elementary school years. Its First Avenue was built in December 2021, between the Woodland Retreat and unexplained Desert Shrine, and on New Year's Eve of that year, a time capsule was sealed in Baranoc's city hall to be opened in five years and one day: on New Year's Day 2027.

A ChaseCorp branch, ChaseCorp Baranoc, opened in the city in October 2022. A kabaddi court was added on 24 July 2023.

## Notable features

* 2027 Time Capsule
* Almercroff University
* Baranoc Aquatic Center
* Birchleaf Clinic
* Imperial Infrastructure Ministry
* Old Hill Park
* Neal Milam Monument
* Park of the Grafting
* Sanctum of the Empire
* St. Swithun's Cathedral
* Woodland Retreat

### Commerce

* ChaseCorp Baranoc
* ChaseMart

### Culture

* Bratuž Performance Hall
* *The Bold Man*
* *Tree of Life*
Imperial Embassy in Redstonia

The **Imperial Embassy in Redstonia** is the Chase Empire's diplomatic mission to Redstonia. It is located in a gated district by the mouth of the undersea tunnel of the Riverlands Highway and was built circa 2019 by Chase.

It was the only building of Redstonia's standardized era to avoid being repealed in 2022.

## Design

The building is clad in the standardized Redstonian style predicated on Xcristo's Mansion. Stone brick ornamentations surround a spruce wood structure with two floors. The first features a library and spiral staircase to the second, where an ambassadorial desk faces the stairs.
Kobayashi Clan

The **Kobayashi Clan** (Japanese: 小林氏, *Kobayashi-shi*) is the ruling imperial clan of the Adonese Imperium. Deeply interwoven with spirituality, his has largely stayed above the feuding of the Rakku and Shikichi clans. Its seat is at Sakura Palace in Megasaki, which overlooks the River of Nothingness.

## Trivia

* The clan is named after the main antagonist of the 2018 film *Isle of Dogs*.
* As per his usual naming conventions, AuJy gave himself the name regnal name *Tonihito (Japanese: トニイヒイト). It is a play on the normal naming conventions of Japanese Emperors since the late-11th century.*
Book River (town)

The **Book River** settlement, officially **Book River Trading Post**, is a fortified town in northern Lenor that was a lost work between its approximate construction c. 2013 and its rediscovery in January 2022. It is not actually located along the Book River of PEV and Lenor.

The town had been unrendered for so long that, upon its discovery in 2022, survival-planted crops from 2013 had still not finished growing.
Long Industries

**Long Industries**, often abbreviated **Long Ind.**, is a multipurpose corporation under the authority of AuJy. It is based in the far-southern city of Saginaw, where its chief office once made up the tallest building on Chasecraft, surpassing the Parafeller Center upon its completion.

## Operations

Long Industries has various operations, ranging from construction and real estate to mining and petroleum. It operates primarily in and around Saginaw but has a notable presence in the Riverlands and the server's central region as well.
Redo Preparatory School

**Redo Preparatory** **School** is a college-preparatory school in Redo. Founded in late 2013, it is the city's oldest educational institution. As a preparatory school, it is generally subordinate to the University of Redo.

## History

A primitive version of the University of Redo was destroyed in a bombing by Daniel in September 2013; what is now the Redo Preparatory School campus was constructed as a new venue for the University. It was entitled the **Redo University of Knowledge Advancement**, though it became the Preparatory School circa 2016.
Republic City (old world)

"*Let's make Republic City. Keegan, no more spawning pigs.*"
―AxeSlasher, 9 July 2012
On the old world, **Republic City** was a collaborative settlement near the server's swampy spawn. It was built by Chase, Paige, awesomekid48, and possibly others. It bordered Union City to the southeast. It was built soon after the discovery of creative mode and many of its buildings are thus built with expensive blocks.

It shares no relation with the abandoned Republic City project of the main world.
