**Clan Sparrow** was an infamous clan on AztecMC.

## History and War with Greywind

Sparrow was originally a Greywind subdivision, commanded by Bushy69. It started in the first ever official Greywind base Oceanhelm, and had 3 members, Bushy69, camolo2006 and jack(unknown). All of these members became future members of Sparrow and were corrupt hackers.

### Splitting from Greywind

After a mishap for a raid, Sparrow kept the loot that was meant to be split with Greywind and left to make their own clan. While no war was declared, Jaknarr saw the opportunity to inside the clan for revenge. He proposed an alliance between the two clans, and said that both would help each other in trade, conflict and building.

### The Raid of Base #1

Base #1 was Sparrow's first ever base, situated behind a waterfall in the jungle. It was moderately large, with a few valuables such as iron and emeralds. After around a week, Jaknarr decided to strike on the base. He leaked the coordinates to \_MD5, an ally of Greywind. Within four hours \_MD5 had raided the base and it was in ruins.

After the raid, Sparrow naively kept Jaknarr in the clan, without batting an eye at the fact it could have been him behind it.

### The Raid of Base #2

Base #2 was a small castle near Spawn, made of cobble and oak wood. It was very large, with four stories and a basement filled with valuables underneath. It had an armoury, with chests of iron armour and multiple dogs and cats. Due to Sparrow's developing communism, as in begging members to share their items with everyone, Jaknarr was irritated, and after two mere days, he launched a raid on the castle. He brought along Bollobuster, a Greywind member and ally. Together they lavacasted the base, and killed the dogs and cats. Still, Sparrow believed Jaknarr when he said he didn't do it.

### Splitting the Alliance

After Sparrow started to suspect Jaknarr of raiding them, Jaknarr was raided. His god armour was stolen and so were his tools, along with two stacks of diamonds. While he knew who it was, he used this to his advantage. He told Sparrow that Greywind had betrayed him and were coming after them. Sparrow naively believed this, and ranked Jaknarr up to the Commander of the clan. Jaknarr then asked Greywind to attack Sparrows new base, 'Swamp Base', the week after this happened.

At this point Sparrow invited Jaknarr to their Discord server. They talked in VC a lot, and Bushy often harassed Jaknarr for his accent. Around this time, gman64bit, arguably the most infamous member of Sparrow, joined them. He instantly became higher ranking than Jaknarr which caused some controversy in the clan, but Bushy dismissed it.

### The Battle of Sparrow Marsh

The new base, named Swamp Base, was extremely large, and filled with valuables. However, it had one major flaw - the west wing was visible from the mountain. This allowed Jaknarr to have an excuse for the fact Greywind attacked the swamp, with the Sparrows stupidly overlooking the fact he simply teleported them there. Allies of Greywind, \_MD5 and kookoocat, were also teleported to the swamp.

The battle started around five to ten minutes later, and heavy reinforcements were called by Sparrow to protect the swamp. \_MD5, with full god gear, mowed his way through reinforcements, and blew a hole in the west wing's roof, and jumped in. He looted the base, and planted TnT in every room. Meanwhile, the Greywind troops fought the Sparrow recruits, and kookoocat, using god gear, took out Bushy. Jaknarr pretended to fight the Greywinds, as not to rise suspicion.

A day after the battle, Swamp Base was in ruin, with heavy casualties and Sparrow Marsh was uninhabitable. TnT blasts had ravaged the land, the lake had flooded the pits and ruins of the base and mobs spawned vastly due to the light sources being destroyed.

### Quartz Base

The final and most notable raid was Quartz Base. It was a beautiful base, built from chiselled stone bricks, quartz pillars, quartz blocks and gold blocks for the roof. A river ran down the middle, with lillypads sitting on top as a walkway. Greywind were desperate to raid this base, but they refrained, as a day before it was completed, Bushy69 told Jaknarr if another base was raided he'd be banned from the clan. If this base were to be raided by anyone, war would start, and Jaknarr's cover would be blown.

Jaknarr took extra precautions to protect the base, by advising gman64bit and Bushy not to bring any new members, and to erase all signs of life above. The base was also luckily right next to the border.

However, a day after Jaknarr had been living there, it was raided. This was because of Bushy's idiocy of bringing random people there. One of those people was NerdieBirdieYT, and he livestreamed the raid. You can see it here:

Jaknarr was blamed for the raid and taken out of the clan, and was refused access even after he proved it wasn't him. It was then that Jaknarr told Bushy what had really happened to all the other bases - he had insided them. Greywind had never betrayed him, and he coordinated all the raids and battles.

Bushy was surprised, and immediately declared war on Greywind. Jaknarr knew the coords of all Sparrow's other bases and towers, because he was left in the Sparrow Discord server because Bushy didn't know how to ban him. He sent the coordinates to Greywind's Discord server and sent different squads after different bases - Ghost subdivision were sent after a mountain stronghold 34k out, Spiderfang subdivision were sent after a recruits base 23k out, and the Nightcloak subdivision went after the recruits towers.

Jaknarr also hired a hitman to inside the clan, hhr0421. He promised hhr a pay of 40 diamonds if he succeeded, but right after hhr did so, Jaknarr was raided. Due to a lack of enderchest, he had to keep his diamonds in a secret chest below his bed. Because of the hitman's power, he could easily destroy Jaknarr and Greywind, so Jaknarr planned a coupe against him, and two weeks later Greywind killed hhr. The coordinates hhr supplied were still used, leading to multiple controversies, and Greywind's first scandal.

### The Battle of Sphinx Desert

Possibly one of the most famous battles, Sphinx Desert was a large desert with a pyramid 35k out. Greywind had set up a small scouting base there, as Sparrow were using the pyramid to trade with allies. Greywind hoped to catch a trade going off, and intercept it, taking the loot and killing Bushy and the merchant. However, Sparrow received intel of this plan, and staged a trade in order to lure Greywind in. When a squad attacked through all four entrances, Sparrow placed TnT everywhere, and lit it. Bushy blocked the exits with obsidian, but the Greywinds managed to break through the sandstone quickly before the TnT exploded. Bushy was trapped in the pyramid, and died.

More Sparrow reinforcements were teleported in, and a battle started between Sparrow and Greywind. The site of Sphinx Desert can be visited today, although the coordinates are unknown.

### The Siege of Fort Sparrow

The final and most notable battle was named The Siege of Fort Sparrow. It was an attack on Sparrow's recruits fortress 30k out, with TnT cannons set up on the mountains surrounding, and Greywind archers firing fire arrows at the guards. This battle was so famous due to the damage done.

Around the fortress were three mountains - it was situated in a valley. This gave Greywind a major advantage, as they could easily drop TnT on top of the base and fire arrows inside. Greywind troops teleported inside with enderpeals, and slayed the remaining recruits and soldiers.

This was the battle that lead to Greywind's victory in the Greywind/Sparrow War.

### Sparrow's Demise

In VC a few weeks before, Bushy told Jaknarr that Sparrow had started to use hacks such as xray, fly and kill aura. Their excuse for this upon being confronted by Jaknarr was that 'they would have less of an advantage over raiders'.

After the Siege, Jaknarr exposed the clan for hacks, and the majority were banned for them. Sparrow have since moved to another server.

## Sparrow's Ethics

Sparrow's ethics were very questionable, with Bushy himself describing Sparrow as a 'Communist clan.' All clan members had to screenshot their inventory, every time they logged on, to Bushy, who would dictate what they could have and what they had to give to the clan, to 'share', although everyone knew it was simply just for Bushy to take for himself.

Overall, Sparrow were potentially the most infamous clan on the New Map in 2020, and are a huge part of Greywind and many other people's history.
