# Main Lore of Minecraft Kingdoms

## The Beginning of Time

Before Minecraft Kingdoms came to be, it was a modded server ran by CloudSphinx, with many players like Dendez and Qube Knight joining in occasionally. After Dendez had to move IRL, there was a pause in activity before the idea of a world-building civilization came to be around July 8th.

The first few players to join in on this server were:
CloudSphinx (the owner),
Al1en,
Lastroman,
RealNicheMarket,
SevenMoreHotdogz,
Dendez,
Qube Knight, and
Winxteen.

We call these the Core 8. These 8 were eventually followed by Kilustme21 and Thexis, who would become nomads in the region. The Core 8 would be the cornerstone of creation onto this server, also creating the first Nations.

## Vanilla Phase

Throughout the beginnings of the server, spawn was a house with a day and night button, along with book and quills to write down a nation's history. There was also a huge map of the world; helpful for knowing where you were and how to get there. Either than that, not much was at spawn. The Core 8 dispersed into the wild, hoping to claim their land before another would. The beginnings of the First Four Nations are quite extensive (hence why they will have their own sections), but generally speaking the only point of contention of land was between Verglas (run by Lastroman and RealNicheMarket) and Valhalla (run by Dendez and SevenMoreHotdogz) in the snow biome, although this was quickly resolved and Verglas kept the snowy hillsides. The other two kingdoms were Myenthaurus (run by CloudSphinx and Al1en) and the Tewen Kingdom (run by Qube Knight and Winxteen), who dispersed farther than the first two kingdoms.

After settling in and building out bases, the Kingdoms eventually made their way to the Nether (where Dendez claimed area for a castle to be constructed) and finally to the End to beat the Ender Dragon. (Fun fact: The Dragon was revived without the use of the egg for fun, but it was quite complicated to get it to work and the server had to be updated from 1.17 to 1.17.1).

## Civilization Phase

There were 5 new players that expressed interest, with 4 additional players that hadn't joined yet. The Core 8 were about the only ones consistently playing weekly, with few expressing ideas to plan weekly events. Only time will tell how this phase will develop.

    On July 30th, a new player by the name of Pwdiv tried to incite conflict between Verglas, Valhalla, and Myenthaurus. It started with bombing Valhalla and eventually the beacon at Myenthaurus. After initial confusion, Pwdiv was found out and was sentenced to execution by all three nations. Pwdiv flocked the server immediately, and so a bounty of a stack of diamonds was announced to any person(s) that could kill him with proven evidence.

"Cult" was a cult started by Al1en, Lastroman, and SevenMoreHotdogz. Dendez joined minutes later. The event was quite strange and one of a kind.

## Exploration and Tension Phase

Qube Knight and Winxteen were building up their walls for the Tewen Kingdom. Dendez offered help with building, and went back with Qube Knight to get materials, but Dendez wasn't happy about Qube going through the chests. Tensions rose and Dendez was about to go kill Qube when Lastroman of Verglas stepped in to mediate and end the conflict. No further action was taken by either side.

Seven, Dendez, and Qube went on an expedition to a Water Monument on Hard Mode. Needless to say, many deaths ensued, with only Qube outliving his companions. Regardless of death count, the expedition was a success(?).

Winxteen accidentally triggers a Hard Raid near the Tewen Kingdom. CloudSphinx, Qube, Dendez, and lastroman fought valiantly, but at a high cost. This attack left many shaken and aggrivated.

SevenMoreHotdogz triggers a raid and leaves his companion Dendez to battle on. Dendez also pardons Pwdiv from his crime after he helps out with said raid.

Dendez, Qube, and Seven make a 2x2 ladder from Valhalla Underworld to the surface. It takes quite a while, but it was definitely worth it(?)

Valhalla and Myenthaurus have ended their VM Pact effective 8/15/21. Reasoning was that the pact was too limiting.

## Expansion Phase

Around 8/15/21, two new nations (Ngingumqambi and Jotunheim) were created. Kevin\_Lastname rules Ngingumqambi and Jotunheim is ruled by Slow

SevenMoreHotdogz disappears from the server. Dendez becomes sole ruler of Valhalla and renamed the nation to Fortezza Di Pietra, then to Aquarion.

The first MCUN meeting took place with Jotunheim, Tewen, Myenthaurus, and Aquarion at Verglas' nation. The conclusion of the UN created two international laws, a community build, event ideas, an investigation into Seven's disappearance, and a pillar for the server's nations.

3 new players joined the server in August, making the server a lot more populated than it ever was.

## Schooling Phase

During this time (August 2021-December 2021), the first half of school commenced. Therefore, activity by the players was fewer than during the summers. Even so, another UN meeting was held and CloudSphinx and RayvenRock were married on 9/20/2021.

A few new names popped into the discord, further populating it to 40 people in total.
