## History

The Thunderland Empire beginnings date back to the creation of the Server on 21/11/2020 (1 BQ) with its founding.

1 BQ - The Rise of a Empire

NateThunder upon Joining the Server would remain close to the Cradle of Civilisation, opting to shelter in the Mines and caves around the area. Mining away to collect and make resources for himself, he would emerge from the mines which he would later call the ‘Thunder’ mines with an abundant amount of resources and made the collective decision to settle above the mines, building up a house on top of the Mines preferring to not move all his resources to a distant location.

The Thunderland Empire sprung up from the Central Plain and began its expansion. Taking up the Majority of the Central Plain. Using the fertile Land, to grow food for Agricultural Produce. Once the food supply was secured the empire continued to rapidly expand in all directions, becoming one of the largest Nations incredibly quickly.

**Thunderland Chronicles**

The entirety of the SMP's history is written and documented in the Thunderland Chronicles that is recorded by the Thunderland Historians and is commissioned by the Thunder Emperor whom they owe their loyalties and who they're directly aligned with. Which begs the question about whether or not the information to come from the Chronicles are 'biased' with it seemingly favouring the TLE, with it being through the lenses and perspective of the Thunder Emperor. Who is a questionable character as well as a source of information, however the chronicles shouldn't just be disregarded because of supposed bias in its recording, as it gives a insight to events

it must be noted that the Thunder Emperor doesn't truly harbour much ill-will to the majority of players of the SMP, with only one exception that he erased from history but it was deserved and none could deny it although he did not like outcome, When he instructed the historians to record the Chronicles, he requested for them to as balanced and unbiased recounting of events, even with him

both much of his life-long journal and of what he could remembered of the individual to record them.
