Farsen

PÁRA DE OLHAR

## Builds:

Farsen was the founder of Alentejo, Eufémia and co-founder of Pirate Haven together with Elaphos. They both built the main building and the bone war arena. The temple on Pangrado Island was also built by Farsen but it was first mistakenly attributed to Mini due to Mini's sudden Japanese architecture craze.

## Farsenism

A philosophy developed by Farsen that takes inspiration from Wabi sabi(*侘寂*), a Japanese world view marked by the Buddhist three marks of existence: impermanence, suffering and voidness. This ideology is recorded in the book Farsenism widely available around the server. Farsenism transmits values about beauty, it rejects urbanization and embraces the natural. This can be seen by Farsen's creation of Alentejo, a commune located in the jungle where the altering of nature was kept to a minimum by law, and his disapproval of Flynn and old Distro.

Farsenism acknowledges that the pursuit of perfection is pointless because it does not exists and that beauty can be found in imperfection.

## The genesis of Alentejo

Elaphos, Farsen and widi25 tried to build a functioning squid farm near Pirate Haven during the boom of the demand for ink sacks caused by the construction of New Wheatongrad. The farm proved to be useless after countless test runs, this had a devastating repercussions on Farsen who in an act of hate massacred between a googol and a googolplex squids. This failure is believed to have had a critical role in Farsen's philosophical development since shortly after that incident he decided to embark on a journey which would lead him to a jungle temple where he established Alentejo.

## Resume:

After Eufémia took revenge of our plundering and disrespect for nature and decided to eat the entire server starting with [REDACTED], we had the mission to resettle in this new land and continue the legacy of Eufémia. And thus the three main members of Eufémia co-founded Ostrov or "Eufémia but like really cold".

The ideas were many, from a 3h long railway in the overworld (Pureza II) to reviving the long asleep Eco-Terrorist Army, but first a spot had to be found. Farsen and [REDACTED] navigated east for countless days and nights until a temporary spot was found. After having refused co-founding Proletaria, Farsen got an invitation to build Ostrov next to Proletaria, noticing that the terrain indeed matched the intended biome and that it looked remote enough, the invitation was accepted and the three members soon started working on early settlements, building the first shrine.

Proletarian expansionism would soon exacerbate Ostrov and Proletaria's conflicting interests, from a commune that had the tendency to expand to a commune that wanted to be left isolated not much could be done to mend the situation, on an unprecedented escalation of events, Ostrov destroyed it's nether portal, forcing all communication in and out of the commune to be done on the overworld, where a long wall was built between Ostrov and Proletaria. After a diplomatic stalemate that lasted some days, it was decided in Ostrov that the current location was unsuitable, right away the Ostrovian workforce dismantled most of the buildings and resources and moved them to temporary locations in [REDACTED], behind were left some ruins and a shrine inside a purified forest - gifts for Proletaria to thank their invitation.

The commune's HQ was temporarily moved to [REDACTED] while it's members worked hard in finding the perfect spot for Ostrov, after several months of hard work the perfect location was found and the resources were moved, Ostrov was finally able to flourish as a beacon of pure harmony between society and nature.

But this would not last long, [REDACTED] soon went inactive and after the great [REDACTED] events, [REDACTED] disappeared from the Great Gay Motherland and no one ever heard of them again. Many think they were killed by the secret police, others think they were expelled into the remote lands behind [REDACTED], but in Ostrov it's long been rumoured that [REDACTED] might actually have retreated into Ostrov, finding peace and refuge into it's most remote and harsh land, and those who know the stories say that one day, reactivating the old Eufemian alliance with [REDACTED] and re-instituting the Eco-Terrorist Army, [REDACTED] will return to lead the way for the absolute and final Ostrovian purification of the world.
