S1 Rundown

# Season One Lore

A lot of VODS and info of S1 are lost to the Twitch Abyss due to a lot of it being unplanned and improvised. However, through testimonies of those adventurers who lived through the dramatic waves of events which crashed up on the shores of Duckberg, there is some history which could be preserved.

### How it Started.

The SMP started with no lore originally, just a lot of inside jokes. The main city, Duckberg, was founded by DJ and some other adventurers. The town suffered constant (and I mean CONSTANT) raids by pillagers, losing a majority of the original villager population that resided there. Walls were built, borders created, barriers made... but none of that stopped the raids. It just created more problems than it solved. The people of Duckberg eventually hunted down the pillager base which was located past the desert that bordered the town and burned it to the ground, engulfing the building in flames and the town in peace.

### Making Friends and Foes

Eventually, some of the residents, mostly Sam (Notus) started a union against DJ and their 'rule' over Duckberg, despite no real hierarchy being established.

This shifted some of the trust between members of the town and DJ began to develop other towns to distance themself from Duckberg, each new town connected through a Nether highway. The other three towns were Snowdin, Pelican Town and The Swamp. No one else ever resided in these besides some peaceful villagers, however, they were places of safety. Whilst this occurred, large structures were forming through Duckberg, including the Church of the Moon. This was a place of worship crafted by Alex (Nackle) and was absolutely not a cult, though there was a cool fight pit underneath it. Other adventurers joined through this time, including Ven who was a writer of history that documented all the happenings of the realm. He also lived in a literal bubble under the sea. Dye, who had watched the world be built from afar for a while, joined the civilization as well and became known as the masterful builder of the realm, creating beautiful, intricate and insanely large builds through the land.

A crash landing, claimed to be a sunken ship with no wreckage left behind, brought Jett who was an intimidating presence to the town, but a welcome one. Others such as Jace, Luka, Candie and Ace were about as well, building their bases and keeping a sense of calm in the ever-chaotic server. Ichoal, who was DJ's husband (unhappily married), built their own church and realm within the depths of The End. It was a tension filled love, and it lasted as long as DJ dragged it out. However, after many moons of marriage and misdemeanors, the divorce was finally settled, the marriage contract broken. This released Ichoal's full power. "You may have lost a husband, but you've made a powerful ally." Despite the underlying fear of what Ichoal could do, DJ found peace in the divorce and the two watched each other from afar.

Suddenly there was a new force, a giant corporation taking to the server named Я̵̧͙̰̙͌̅͝͝Ǝ̶͙̮̝̫́̍͂́Ⴇ̷̛̝̞͓̣̐̋̃Ả̶̬̲̤̙͌̓͝Ɔ̷̲͇̜͖̿̒̌̂Ṯ̸̠̞̳̃̂̒͝Ǝ̸͖̤̩͙͒͊̇̉. They claimed to only sell dirt and cobblestone, but their presence was much more sinister. No one knew who the head of Я̵̧͙̰̙͌̅͝͝Ǝ̶͙̮̝̫́̍͂́Ⴇ̷̛̝̞͓̣̐̋̃Ả̶̬̲̤̙͌̓͝Ɔ̷̲͇̜͖̿̒̌̂Ṯ̸̠̞̳̃̂̒͝Ǝ̸͖̤̩͙͒͊̇̉ was, but they were sponsoring Alex to build a prison, and creating gigantic factories and corporate buildings through the land, each sticking out more than the last. The unknown and ominous motives of the company instilled fear and uncertainty into the people of the SMP. In an attempt to communicate, DJ reached out to the company and Я̵̧͙̰̙͌̅͝͝Ǝ̶͙̮̝̫́̍͂́Ⴇ̷̛̝̞͓̣̐̋̃Ả̶̬̲̤̙͌̓͝Ɔ̷̲͇̜͖̿̒̌̂Ṯ̸̠̞̳̃̂̒͝Ǝ̸͖̤̩͙͒͊̇̉ stated that they needed a 'leader' of Duckberg to speak with. After all the trust they gained and how they helped the people of the realm with builds and resources, Dye was appointed as a honorary leader. Before any peace was made, in their fear of the unknown and having the town hurt, DJ turned back to find Ichoal for guidance. After all, they were now their best ally. Upon reaching the realm, DJ called and called for their divorcee, but to no avail. They were gone. Johnathan, who was one of the spirits which Jett could channel, I suppose, was entrusted with investigating where Ichoal went.

### The Finale

Upon the finale, as DJ read through memoirs and mourned their missing ex-husband, Johnathan (Jett) revealed to DJ that Я̵̧͙̰̙͌̅͝͝Ǝ̶͙̮̝̫́̍͂́Ⴇ̷̛̝̞͓̣̐̋̃Ả̶̬̲̤̙͌̓͝Ɔ̷̲͇̜͖̿̒̌̂Ṯ̸̠̞̳̃̂̒͝Ǝ̸͖̤̩͙͒͊̇̉ was behind Ichoal's disappearance. Lost and not knowing what to do, DJ ran to find their trusted friend Dye, who then pushed by their guilt, admitted to being Co-CEO of Я̵̧͙̰̙͌̅͝͝Ǝ̶͙̮̝̫́̍͂́Ⴇ̷̛̝̞͓̣̐̋̃Ả̶̬̲̤̙͌̓͝Ɔ̷̲͇̜͖̿̒̌̂Ṯ̸̠̞̳̃̂̒͝Ǝ̸͖̤̩͙͒͊̇̉ and creating most the builds for the company. No one knows the CEO, Dye revealing they only saw the founder when they were recruited. While admitting forgiveness to Dye, DJ left the building in sadness and rage and lost on what to do with the overwhelming amount of new information they'd now been given. Wandering the town, DJ circled the buildings and as they were feeling lost, they stumbled upon Sam and a small, suspicious hole. The TNT in his inventory was all they needed to decide what they wanted to do, what they've actually always wanted to do: Destroy Я̵̧͙̰̙͌̅͝͝Ǝ̶͙̮̝̫́̍͂́Ⴇ̷̛̝̞͓̣̐̋̃Ả̶̬̲̤̙͌̓͝Ɔ̷̲͇̜͖̿̒̌̂Ṯ̸̠̞̳̃̂̒͝Ǝ̸͖̤̩͙͒͊̇̉. Warnings of a security system and a fail-safe fell on deaf ears as the top floor was lined with TNT and the glass windows of the building shattered. Suddenly, an ominous warning appeared to the world and a Dimensional Guardian was brought forth. DJ, Dye, Sam, Ven, and Jett witnessed the Guardian destroy the town, and through a hard-fought battle, was defeated by Dye, Sam and DJ. However as the destruction came to an end, Sam withered away after a hard-fought battle, seemingly vanishing from the world. Jett had warned them not to kill the entity, that it would doom everyone. Through the confused chatter as the guardian fell from the sky to the Earth, a voice boomed over them. "Foolish, is what I would say to you all." The world went dark, and as it faded away, the only voice heard was Jett, warning that there would be consequences and that they could not stay here. They had to leave.

### Season 2

The people of Duckberg, of Season One, appear in the new server one day. Their wounds from the battle healed over, but still slightly tender from the impact their bodies had to endure. Some of them seem to remember more than the others, but it seems that their minds are fogged with exhaustion. A few are ready to hustle up and move on with their lives, building new structures and partaking in new adventures, but will they all be able to move on? When the Interdimensional Guardian was destroyed, it took their home, Duckberg, with it. The biggest shock to their minds was that they actually survived, some would call this a miracle, the others however wondered if how they survived is… otherworldly.

Unbeknownst to them, their very existence in this new world is thanks to the Gods who took the adventurer’s lost souls into their care and bestowed their blessings upon them. Now, they have a second chance at living thanks to these Gods. Their old home now taken from them, it’s up to these young adventurers to push through and make a new home, a new start. This is their second chance, and they doubt there will be a third.
