### Notable Events

Ostrov-Proletarian border incident, The Great March 1 & 2, Great Railway Project and Eco-Terrorism.

Ostrov is a Farsenist commune with an East Asian theme, its location and activities are secret and the commune is, by will of its members, not connected to the main nether icelines. Despite its isolationism the commune prides itself in having the longest iceline in the server and in its often unnoticed presence in many of the server's locations. Albeit visiting the commune without being a member or having permission from one is strictly prohibited anyone can request to visit it by contacting Farsen or any other member.

Despite being the person mostly associated with Ostrov, Farsen is not the commune's leader as it has no hierarchy in place, instead every member is considered to have equal status on the commune and decisions are normally taken by voting. Being a Farsenist commune, Ostrov seeks to preserve nature and the existing harmony between players and the commune's environment.

## Eufémia

Eufémia was founded on 15/08/2019 after Farsen decided to start his spiritual journey on the nether roof to the east. Having made his first stop at random he found himself on a mesa island which he named "Eufémia" in honour of Catarina Eufémia (portuguese peasant killed by the Pide). This island was initially supposed to be the first of several stops and Farsen immediately started writing about it on his travel diary, but after some days he had found he had gotten too attached to the island and decided to stay on it. Soon Tuna and Vivi joined in and the commune was born.

With help from Coso, a 15k long "Pureza" railway was built on the nether to the commune, having museums and other attractions on the way there for a trip that often took no less than 30-45 mins. Eufémia fast became a target for attacks from other communes because of its ideological choices and values which partially motivated its eco-terrorist attacks against other communes, eventually breaking alliances. The members of Eufémia saw themselves as protectors of the island's beauty and in turn the Eufemian spirits allowed them to settle there unharmed, this balance was kept until the arrival of Lycemia, whose crimes against nature in the island sparked the wrath of the Eufemian spirits eventually leading to the great world destruction known as "Reset".

## Snezhny Ostrov

After the "Reset" the 3 founders of Eufémia decided keep the commune alive on this new world, albeit with a changed name picked by Tuna. Keeping true to their values they refused to use the server's seed to look for a "perfect location", like other communes did, instead embarking on a journey on day 1 to find the perfect spot for the commune's location, this journey took months and led to 4 different settlements being used.

The first settlement, close to today's NFAT, was built as a temporary outpost to gather resources and continue the journey on the nether, it's existence didn't last long because soon after Farsen received a proposal from Tord to settle Ostrov next to Proletaria, after scouting the area and having received similar proposals from DDR, Farsen decided that Siberia was a suitable location for Ostrov and with the approval of the rest of the commune's members building started very soon, with A large temple, Mongolian yurts, an HQ and a Mongolian big house all being built in the first days, Farsen and Tuna were planning to build the first castle when the Proletarian-Ostrov border incident happened. This incident was caused by the proximity of Ostrov borders and the contradicting nature of both communes, with Ostrov wanting to remain isolated and Proletaria expanding closer to it. At the height of tensions a wall was built to separate both communes but eventually Ostrov decided that the location they had was too close to other communes. All the builds were torn down for resources and the temple was shortened to half it's size, keeping it's smaller version there as a memorial and shrine to the forest they were leaving behind.

All the resources were taken to a Mushroom island which became the 3rd settlement and the first to still be occupied by Ostrov today, there the members reunited and started another journey (the great march 1) to find a more suitable place, after much searching a 4th settlement was picked and remained as Ostrov's main settlement until this day. Since then Ostrov has been expanding its presence around the server with shrines and inter-communal agreements while Ostrov itself has been growing with more and more settlements around the server being established. Being the main Farsenist commune Ostrov is normally taken as the face of Farsenism, albeit it is not the only Farsenist commune in the server. Despite only one of the original founders remain, the size of Ostrov grew 5 times over since the start of it's first great march and ambitious great projects are planned for some of it's settlements. As isolated as it is Ostrov members seek to keep Ostrov as secret as it's always been, like a spectre haunting the Motherland.
