This is the moment that the first cultures grew and prospered. See The Age of Heroes for a timeline.

## The Great Doom

In October 2022 the old map had to be replaced due to a series of issues, so a great cataclysm would occur and the surviving players would migrate to the other side of the world, to the new continent of Ardia.

The Great Doom was a cataclysmic event when The Thicc Pidgeon grew so thick that he created a black hole. Most of the old world's population was killed, and it was only thanks to Carrot the Parrot, who sacrificed the last of his powers to stop the Thicc Pidgeon.

The survivors migrated to the vast continent of Ardia. The world is well beyond 30 000 x 30 000 blocks.

## New World Era

The new continent of Ardia follows climate patterns similar to earth.

In the center of the continent the lush greenlands rub elbows with the savanna,

Migrating north you will find great forests and then the icy northern vastness.

To the east and west lies the savanna and rolling grasslands of the Great Steppe, and beyond them lush realms ready to be settled.

To the south great deserts and a Middle Sea of saltwater, and beyond those the Red lands of the remainder of the Piglin Empire.

Towns begin to emerge.

The first nation to establish itself after the Great Doom (Not counting the Piglin Empire) was Njordia, not to be confused with the njords who existed during the early Age of Heroes.

## Timeline

**Year 0** - 5th of October (2021-09-05) and the First official day of the server and the beginning of the Age of Heroes. The Olympians came to claim the Plains. the Aquilans colonized the Mountains and the Riserians colonized the Savannah on the continent of Spawnia.

**Year 1** - The Olympians begin praying to the blue axolotl Clitus, who bless their nation and their leader, king Deiiwa who's of the Freia Bloodline. Aquilans, in accordance with their grim king Clockwrk, give praise to their Winter God of Nanook, officially. The Savannah culture called the Riserians do not pray. Their culture evolved around hating men and thus, it was the only culture to only accept one man in their entire society. See Mikethemike.

**Year 2** - The first human tribes to make contact was the olympians and aquilans. Arrows where fired and battle almost broke out, but King Deiiwa and King Clockwrk where able to cut a deal and agree on a non-aggression pact. Both tribes promise to not interfere in the other one's war, and to come to the aid of the other if they are attacked first.

**Year 3** - The First Olympus-Troll War. The race of Trolls have been active in the south of Spawnia, hiding in the deep taiga. When they made first contact the humans attack them. In two raids the trolls lost many lives to Olympians and later their God, the holy Mothermoo, who was kidnapped and displayed from the walls as an insult towards the trolls. Really a *Haha, we got your God*-type of situation. This plunged the Troll tribes into panic mode, resulting in them naming their first king ever. King Smurfxt

**Year 4** - King Smurfxt's reign was short and full of failures. After an initial success bringing the Mothermoo back, the downfall continued. At this point the trolls where dying out, but the fall would come much later.

**Year 5** -

**Year 8** - Propaganda starts circulation in Olympus pushed by an organization called IJF, calling for the end of tyranny and the holding of the first democratic election.

**Year 13** - King Deiiwa calls the first meeting of the People, soon called the Senate and they decide to transition towards a more democratic way of doing things, still under the watchful eye and mind of their beloved Clitus. King Deiiwa, considered the least tyrannical of all nation rulers during this time, volounteered himself to abdicate. This unselfish act made the Olympians offer the first term of Consulship to Deiiwa, who refused and instead chose to focus on speaking with and for the Bucket God.

Next the olympians decide to hold a vote on who should lead and Sillimaito is elected the first consul. He instantly revealed himself to be the conspirator behind the Posters and the founder of IJF, and instantly start making the nation more dictatorlike than it's ever been. But the people can now call themselves senators to distinguish themselves from other races. So yeah?

**Year 14 -** Some aquilans start worshipping an occult deity called Tiamat, or the Blood Queen. Szarekjagganoth and King Clockwrk where both known to show interest in this esoteric cult of destruction, that in later times would be deemed illegal by every nation on Earth.

**Year 16** - The aquilans build a bridge across the Choiros woods, needling into viewing distance of the Piglin Empire.

**Year 21** - Battle of the Bridge, where the Light Division of the Piglin Empire made first contact with the human races on Spawnia. 5 piglins fought a coalition of about 20 members from Olympus, Aquila, Risero and the Troll Tribes. The fighting was hard and sacrifices great, but it ended in a stalemate when the Emperor arrived. Faced with his powerful soul fire magic, a compromise was soon reached. The piglins returned to their cities and the aquilans promised to tear down the bridge crossing over the Choiros region, which could be seen from the walls of Memnon.

**Year 26** - The first piglin delegation travels to Olympus and the Shire. The piglins are bawking at the oddity of the human architecture. They remain vigilant and tries to sniff out pork eaters, but they also engage in trade and some good relations are formed.

**Year 27** - The Library opens! Gwynriel built the Great Library of Velaris, where all the world's available knowledge is stored. Velaris is a part of the Olympus Republic, but is respected by every nation as a place of peace.

**Year 29** (2021-11-03) - Soul Hunters appear for the first time on the server, but not in lore.

**Year 35** - The Soul Hunters start gathering souls (player heads) and bringing them back to their God. Aquila is especially targeted and hostilities grow.

**Year 41** - The Ritual. King Clockwrk used Blood rituals to enhance his powers and cover the land in eternal darkness, in service of his dark god The Bloody Queen. Heroes from all nations banded together to fight him but it still wasn't enough. He slaughtered many and it was only when some sneaky players managed to perform the counter-ritual that the Eternal Night was ended and Clockworks powers vanished.

**Year 43** (2021-11-17) - Aquilan Warships are seen outside of Island of lost Souls. The new King Honkimus has inherhited his old masters war with the Soul Hunters and he is determined to see it followed through.

**Year 49** (2021-11-23) - **Aquila VS Soul Hunters**. The war starts when the aquilan fleet sailing to the Port of Lost Souls. The Island that at first seemed deserted soon turned out to be haunted by more than phantasms. Sassparo, the Berserker, led the defense against the invaders but doom seemed inevetable for the tiny island nation. Then at the crucial moment, The Heavy Division of the Piglin Army, led by General IsakSauce, charged in and turned the tide of the battle. The aquilans where thrown off the island and a sea battle ensued, ending in Piglins burning down the Fist of Nanook and shattering Aquila's reputation of invincibility.

**Year 52** - The Desert Island is home to a new people: **The Sonnians**, ruled by the Magistrate Leando3r.

**Year 53** - Wellon the Industrialist sets up shop on the Swamp Island the only place where Slime Mobs spawn, thus gaining a monopoly on slime. Wellon now has complete control over who can and cannot build Airships and Flying Machines, but wether he will use this new found fleet to drop flowers or bomb his enemies back to The Dawn Age, no one can tell.

Year 60 - The Olympian Consul Sillimaito make demands on the Troll king Bvod, to vacate the Southwestern forest of Spawnia or face the consequences.

**Year 67** (2021-12-11- Second Olympian-Troll War. Surviving trolls flee with The Mothermoo and the captured ones are forced to drink a potion that turn them into humans.

**Year 71** (2021-12-15) - The Njordic Republic is declared, modeled after the Olympian Senate and Constitution, and quickly colonize the old troll area.

**Year 95** (2022-01-08) - First Memnon Conference. The piglin Emperor call representatives of the other nations to a meeting. The pigs proclaim the traditional migration to the Imperial City, the king TotallyPrivate is fired for sleeping with the imperial harem and lastly, the nations agree to outlaw the dangerous Tiamat/Bloody Queen/Dark Lady internationally. Afterwards a party is held at the Happy Pig Night Club. New songs like The **Piglin Anthem** and **Clitus take the wheel** are introduced and the Axolotl God himself appears during the dance. The party is cut short however when MelleNMA, the arch nemesis of the pigs, sneak in. The piglins under captain Razzelkines drive him away and shows the guests out.
