Sancre Tor

**Sancre Tor** or simply **Sanc** is the trading hub for Mercia. Its also called The Walled City due to its giant walls that surround it. Its one of the most, iconic places in the whole of Mercia. It was considered a safe haven for everyone in the anarchy age or the 4th age. In the current age (The 5th Age),it is now home to the teleport stations and some shops as well as some iconic buildings.

You can visit Sancre by renaming an item "**sanctp**" which will teleport you to the entrance thus making it an easy location to meet up and trade.

## Iconic Buildings

   Sancre Tor is home to a lot of fourth age homes and shops. The most important and famous buildings are:

**SOLOS SHIP:** Built in the start of the 4th age by **Captain Solo** it's a giant pirate ship that represented his old clan. Currently its not in use but you can visit it if you want.

**OBSIDIAN CLAN HALL:** Built in the start of the 4th age by **Salmon.** It was used for recruiting for the Obsidian Shield. It isn't in use right now but because of the revival of clans and the shield it might become something special again.

**TWIN TOWERS:** Built by **Sasawas** at either the very beggining of the 4th age or the end of the 3rd. They were going to be used as a shop but were later left intact. One of them was blown up accidentally by **SamCWaters.** These have been fused and rebuilt to become a plaza.

**SANCRE ARENA:** Built in the 4th age by an unknown person, most likely a player mentioned before. Players have, and still do, use them for fights against each other. It has also been used in the **2020 Mercia Olympics**.

**TRONK TOWER:** Built by **Diernaman** in the 5th age. Its a tower outside of the Sancre walls with multicoloured glass. Originally set to be a location built for homes and shops, as of now it is currently unused.

## History

This text is extracted from the history channel in discord and has been written by **Sasawas**.

   Once a thriving economy with top notch redstone farms, including the greatest gold farm in the history of Mercia, was laid to waste in the Obsidian crisis. It's walls are triple thick cobblestone with a lava center to make it extremely difficult to enter. Its piston doors were the only access, allowing the guard inside to deactivate the lava flow and allow travelers inside. The gate was purposefully designed to take an extended period of time to open, but instantly to close, to ensure no undesirables were allowed inside. This would be their downfall, as the influx of new thinkers would soon make Mercia city the number one innovator in farming technology. Through their greed alone, they produced the single greatest amount of gold in the world. They became obsessed with it and its power, so much so, that 95% of the gold in block form today originated there.

Their portals through the otherworld began to let in Zombie pigman, and other unwanted in such a great number they began to over run Sancre Tor and soon made it impossible to walk any amount of distance. This is where the once powerful city fell. Without the use of mods or other creative ability, they couldn't overcome the thousands of pigman, especially with the exaggerated lag they caused. Many former residents moved to what's now Karajama and Port Sarim and despised their old ways. They decided to never again make their money by making gold. They reverted to primitive farming techniques and soon the great nation would fade away into only memory.
