## History

### Prehistoric to Classical history

A Neolithic culture from 2019 constitutes the first habitation of the Proudmoore Archipelago, ruled by King Fettuccine Alfredo. This culture was characterized by pit dwelling, fishing and rudimentary agriculture. A single ruined dwelling is the only surviving artifact of the prehistoric period.

The Ancient period saw the introduction of practices such as animal husbandry and seafaring. The first above-ground structures were erected during this time, constituting a settlement in the northwestern portion of Proudmoore Island. This settlement would be formalized as the Kingdom of Proudmoore. An expedition north to Sheephoof Island would also take place during this time.

During the Classical period there was a serious of major emigrations from Proudmoore Island, leading to the formation of the Kingdom of Sheephoof at the island immediately north. After completing work building large sections of the modern City of Proudmoore, the Stone Mason's Guild would also emigrate and become the Blockistani people. A third wave of emigration would see the land of The Cage settled. A large, now demolished nether portal was constructed and the first expeditions to the nether occurred during this period, where an early iteration of the Nether Railway was constructed. The first recorded, formal transaction utilizing emeralds was conducted during this time. The Ancient Texts were discovered during this time. During this

period Great Storms had occurred and greatly impacted Proudmoore, burning down structures and killing livestock, including Eddie Murphy.

### Modern history

By the beginning of the Modern period Proudmoore Island had taken on its present form, and colonies had been settled at various locations across the world, including Al-Carteia, Northshire, and Block Mesa. The large nether portal had been demolished, and the Nether Railway would be significantly expanded and renovated several times. Proudmoore underwent significant effort to import bees, pandas, and birds into metropolitan Trapland. The first bee born in Trapland was Barry B. Benson, and lived on Proudmoore Island until his disappearance.

The city of Kingsfair would be established, and the Arena and Exchange began construction. After the first End Dragon was defeated, Proudmoore acquired a monopoly on the supply of Elytra and Dragon's Breath. Proudmoore subjects would establish new colonies along the southern coast of the Great Sea, including Cape Coal, governed by Cole. Following the completion of the Exchange and Mint, the emerald monetary standard would be established.

### Contemporary History

By the beginning of the Contemporary period the Block Mesa Research Facility would be significantly expanded, the Overland Railway would be constructed, and rocket shortages would occur. As a result of rocket shortages, the Exhcange would be significantly renovated and establish the world's first automated speculative market. Proceedings and suits presided by the Proudmoore Court of Justice would become more frequent during this time.

## Metahistory

Proudmoore Island is the world's spawn location. Due to this and the fact that it is an isolated place in the middle of a sea, Proudmoore Island saw the most activity in the early times of Trapland. Fettuccine had generated the world on an unknown date on a Nintendo Switch, but it is known that the world was played as a single-player world for at least a number of days. Casno would be the first additional player to join Trapland, locally with a Nintendo Switch. Edge McMemerson had agreed to join Trapland, but was unable to join the world locally. Fettuccine and Casno then decided to split the costs of a hosted server, at this time a Minecraft Realm.

These three players would all live on Proudmoore Island for some time. Upon their departure to other lands, it is likely that Fettuccine established the Kingdom of Proudmoore and started using its symbols. There are extant prototype Proudmoore symbols still in the world.

Over time, Fettuccine would claim more land as being the territory of Proudmoore. First Al-Carteia, then Northshire, Kingsfair, Block Mesa, and Cape Coal.
