**House Five of Territorial Badlands,** formerly known as Compass, is a server and community run by F-5, Dakota, and Aira. Known for it's harsh environment and 'practice' in flaying, House Five has earned it's reputation as a sub-toxic and intimidating community.

## History

House Five, *then Compass,* was originally founded by Con with the intentions of it being used as a short-lived shitposting server. Shortly after it's creation, Con passed down ownership to Jason, *a renowned nuker,* thinking that he would nuke it after receiving owner perms. Instead, Jason and F-5 decided to elaborate on the project and put work into the server. F-5 fixed the general server layout, fixed bots, and sparked some activity, which resulted in Jason promoting him to Co-Owner.

After a few days, Jason passed down the server ownership to F-5, with the condition that he'll be ranked as a server administrator. After becoming the new server owner, F-5 started truly rebuilding the server to his liking, thus creating House Five, *The Flayed Men.*

The server was growing in activity, at times even passing it's competitor Polaris, despite being 600~ members short. Some people and audiences weren't very fond of House Five's success, especially those who lost their activity because of it. This lead to House Five creating enemies and competitors.

Simi, *someone who F-5 had had a rivalry with for months,* enjoyed it least of all. As tensions were rising in House Five's surroundings, there was also passive aggressiveness in House Five between F-5 and Simi, and occasional E-Battles between them, also involving Seb and Zic on F-5's side. During this, Jason's admin was removed by F-5 due to suspicion about his suspicious behavior and close ties to Simi, which lead to him teaming up with Simi.

## Attempted Nuking of House Five & Repeated Attacks

After Hercules, *owner of Polaris and supposed ally of House Five,* approached Simi behind F-5's back, regarding their mutual interests in taking down House Five for their mutual benefit, they created the first Groupchat out of many, made with the purpose to send multiple organized hits on House Five, which involved sending CP, beastiality, gore, among other things that were against Discord's Terms of Service, and then mass-reporting it. Most of the attacks were proved ineffective due to F-5's level of intel on their Groupchats and plans.

According to Hercules, his plans on taking House Five down were vastly different to Simi and Jason's, and his way of going about things did not involve CP or any other inappropriate content. Due to this, he discontinued his affiliation with Simi and Jason's plots, and because of F-5's spies and intel, the attacks did nothing due to the raid security F-5 had installed into the server.

When things had calmed down, F-5 and Simi used diplomacy to settle the dispute between the two parties, and the battle met it's conclusion. Simi and F-5 shook hands in Polaris, with Euphi being the mediator.

## Tensions with Polaris & The Purge

Some time after the dispute with Simi was settled, F-5 and Hercules decided to strengthen the connection between House Five and Polaris, considering that they were the only two remaining communities in Perennial Imagination. With some reluctance, Hercules agreed to unbanning House Five's regulars, namely F-5 himself, Aira, Dakota, Seb. In exchange for this, Hercules wanted an administrative position in House Five, which F-5 agreed to.

Problems ensued shortly after the two communities started mixing, and they were constantly clashing at each other. Due to the variation in style and audience, the members didn't get along well. There were complaints coming from both sides, which the Polaris higher-ups quickly caught on-to, namely Jester, Euphi, and Hercules. Hercules passed down the server ownership temporarily to Jester as he was planning to take a break. A day later, Jester put the "House Five Purge" into action, something they had been planning on for a while with Hercules.

Many members in House Five were left unsatisfied with the decision to remove all regulars from Polaris, and saw it as an act of 'betrayal', or even provocation. By now, it was common knowledge among the House Five higher-ups that Hercules had plotted with Simi and Jason to have House Five nuked, which increased tensions even more between the two communities. House Five organized a selective Polaris purge as well, removing Jester, Hercules, and few others.

House Five started a Polaris smear-campaign, which turned a Polaris newcomers away, and brought them to House Five instead. It was fairly short-lived but somewhat successful, as it robbed Polaris of a potential increase in activity.

Instead of starting a war between the communities, which neither of the parties involved were interested in, F-5 and Hercules settled things in DMs, to defuse the tension. There was even talk of forming an official alliance but it never went through, as Polaris closed down and was archived.

## Alliance with Wholesome Vibes

Wholesome Vibes, the revival of Simi's previous server "Simple Server", gained traction and garnered activity from Polaris and House Five members. The servers shared a somewhat similar audience, except for the general harshness of House Five. Seeing as House Five and Wholesome Vibes were the two remaining communities of what used to be Perennial Imagination, Simi and F-5 decided to form an official alliance, and form a new community from the ruins of Perennial Imagination. The community was named Territorial Badlands, and currently consists of House Five and Wholesome Vibes.

*The Rest is History, for now...*

## Trivia

**House Five symbolism**: *The Flayed Men*

- "**A Flayed Man holds no secrets**." This is referring to the freedom of speech within the server and the general openness. Nobody has anything to hide within the walls of the server.

- "**Words Sharp Like Blades**." This is referring to 'flaying', which is a slang for humiliating, exposing, criticizing, or just down-right destroying someone, and leaving them exposed. This is fairly common in House Five due to the tough nature of the server and community, especially for those who oppose the community.

- "**An Old Trend Resurfaced**." Many communities that used to be tough and rough in nature have gone soft or changed their ways entirely, away from that of 'flaying'. This is referring to House Five's devotion to tradition in Perennial Imagination and how it is maintained.

- "**The Flayed Man (symbol)**" The symbol of House Five is a red Flayed body, outlined by an X, on a black field, with an 'unflayed' man standing behind. The Flayed Man encapsulates House Five's style: threatening and unforgiving. Their goals are not winning minds, alliances, or hearts. They dominate and treat others through intimidation and terror. Not to mention, it also symbolizes their way of 'flaying' people. The unflayed man standing behind The Flayed Man symbolizes that the House Five members are behind every flaying.
