The Empire

## Banner

**The Empire** (**Alba Lustitae**) was founded by Mortem and Itzfreaks on the March 9, 2020, after the fall of New Cuby Town.

## Beginnings

The history of the Empire began after Aggie had connected with Mortem at the build site of a new Cuby base (which never saw completion) on his trip to tour different bases and gave Mortem an entire row of obsidian. Soon after New Cuby Town fell, Mortem formally invited Aggie to the empire, with Aggie and Itzfreaks setting off to build a base far from the hellish landscape and anarchy of Purity Vanilla. Itzfreaks searched for suitable base locations by thousands via the nether, eventually contacted Mortem and Aggie, and began the construction of the base. Their construction efforts, however, would be all in vain, as the base would later be compromised at the hands Tahlmus, a friend of Itzfreaks. Aggie later found a new safe location, with Itzfreaks arriving as of 1/4/20, with Mortem never arriving to the new build site.

## Merger with Oceanmakers

On the 20 of April 2020, following the collapse of The Confederacy, remnants of the group then named the Oceanmakers merged into The Empire, with Warvan, PinkHatPonpo, and EPIC\_THATS\_ME becoming members.

## The Empire

The base consisted of a hidden, modern, underground city buried under an assuming medieval town, with a tour video of the said base after its completion.

### El Cubado

El Cubado is a base where MrCuby and several other people lived in. A base in a huge mountain - a huge industrial facility, with members planning additions and extensions to the base. The members of Cubado were Foxtrot, AcneChrist, JackPilch, Cicada, MrCuby and Wizilect.

### Admire Alliance

The Admire alliance was an alliance between Adiesa and Empire, where both groups talked about spawning withers, farm designs, and helped each other out.

### Merger with Adiesa

Creep became weary of leading Adiesa, so after talking he decided to merge Adiesa with Empire. At this time Creep, wRongo\_ and Rayyze joined The Empire, other Adiesa members being a part of Empire, but at old Adiesa Bases.

## Dark Age

After DB's grief of Danzig many people left the faction itself, some taking some secrets and some building the new base. There was a lot of confusion how Danzig fell, but it was clear that Mojangisamazing sold Danzig for 2 heads, and some end loot to the Dung Beetles.

Shortly after Freakz became leader, the Chadlets raided and griefed El Cubado, Punktown, alongside two ally bases, Kevin I and Kevin II. Creep and almost all of Adiesa left Empire, that would be no problem as Creep left "peacefully" but that wouldn't last long.

After the grief of Danzig, Itzfreaks was appointed Leader of The Empire again, though quickly resigned and left the faction to its devices. EPIC\_THATS\_ME was in line to be the new head of the group, though this would be discussed within those remaining in the faction.

## Seed Cracking and formation of NSO

After all the griefing and block game drama, Creep\_Assassin\_ told Penguin that EPIC\_THATS\_ME had cracked the seed using the temp map end pillars, directly leading to a seed reset and EPIC's perma-ban. After the information got out that Empire had the seed several people abandoned their current bases, including the Chadlets/Greys that wanted to move out of their base (Odyssey) but quickly Empire, Cicada, and Rico moved to grief them. On the way to Odyssey Itzfreaks went to sleep instead of griefing the base, that was his last act before he was banned permanently, other continued the grief and a lot of people died griefing the base, but after all it was worth it. After the grief the faction "Empire" was renamed to NSO (New Seed Order) and to the addition MiningBoomBoy was the Leader of the group. He recruited his friends to help building a new base. This marks the end of The Empire and the rise of the NSO.

The Empire planned to become a notable faction within the Purity community, with their most notable goal being their efforts in establishing trade relations with other factions, with the empire establishing three trading pacts with other groups. The Empire succeeded in most of her goals, however stagnation, ineffective leadership and a new seed leak prompted reformation into the NSO.
