## Overview

**Crescentia** is a sovereign nation and town located in the western mountains of **Arkitahn**. The settlement is located in the Crescent Valley in the mountains, and is bordered by the **Luminous Oligarchy** to the south and **Commercium** and the **Riverlands** (formerly Rivershire) to the east.

The settlement was founded by refugees of the town of Airin on Day 1, primarily made up of members of the Green Boat. The settlers gathered at a valley in the mountains to found their town because it was a lush land guarded by towering mountains with only one pass into the valley from below the mountains. The settlers named the valley the Crescent Valley due to the shape of the nearby mountains which guarded their border.

One of the first prominent figures to appear in Crescentia was **Saps**, who became their Oracle after the citizens learned he could talk to the spirits, and especially one spirit in particular who wandered the mountains nearby, the spirit of the brother **Lumine**. To honor Lumine the town became symbolically associated with the moon, and in particular the crescent moon. As such the official religion of the town is **Luminism**.

The citizens of Crescentia created a system of governance, being a Triumvirate council alongside their Oracle Saps. This council was made up of the members **Fluixon**, **Luxera**, and **Mattez** (now deceased). This council oversaw all political matters of the nation, while the citizens continued to individually prosper and construct buildings such as the Crescent Fountain, the grand Assembly Hall, and AvatarKris's library/research tower.

Crescentia is currently allied with four other nations in Arkitahn, being the **Riverlands**, **Commercium**, **Cliffwale Abbey**, and the **Sanctus Republic**. Formerly Crescentia was allied with the **Luminous Oligarchy**, but following its decline due to the deaths of many members, the remnants of the Oligarchy merged with Crescentia.

## Notable Events

* **The Battle of Crescentia**

The **Battle of Crescentia** occurred on Day 3, and was a skirmish between the citizens of Crescentia and the previous miners of **Rockport**, who had lost contact with their group and become the **Waylanders**. This conflict occurred due to a recent theft of gold and diamonds which had occurred in Crescentia, of which was blamed on the travelling miners/merchants of the Waylanders who had passed through the town earlier that day. These Waylanders were held in trial by the Council of Crescentia, and were quickly backed up by arriving reinforcements from their own respective group. The Waylanders demanded compensation for holding the accused in court, of which Crescentia was unwilling to pay. This stand-off eventually became a full-on battle when a member of the Crescentians, **Vexxay**, attacked the Waylanders and was killed in the fight. The battle ended with the death of a few Waylanders and most notably the Crescentian council member Mattez. Originally the Oracle Saps was also presumed to be dead, but reappeared during the World Fair the following day.

* **The World Fair**

The **World Fair** occurred on Day 4, and was a meeting of merchants and leaders from all across Arkitahn. Crescentia sent a few delegates to attend the event, including the council member Luxera to act as a representative. Crescentia did not do anything particularly relevant during this event, other than attending it. However during this event their Oracle Saps, who was presumed dead after the Battle of Crescentia, reappeared healthy and alive, which was met with jubilance from the Crescentian citizens.

* **Annexation of the Luminous Oligarchy**

After the events of the blood moon on Day 5, the number of citizens in the Luminous Oligarchy dwindled. Crescentia, being a neighboring ally whom assisted the Oligarchy during the blood moon, was contacted with a proposal. An agreement was drafted to annex their nation with Crescentia, unifying the two groups under the banner of Crescentia and relocating the Luminous citizens to the town of Crescentia. This proposal was ratified on Day 6, merging the two groups permanently.

* **The Crescentian World Conference**

The **Crescentian World Conference** was a gathering of all world leaders from across Arkitahn in the assembly hall of Crescentia on Day 6. This meeting was arranged by Thomas of Sanctus and run by the leadership of Crescentia, who hosted this event. During the discussions questions regarding the recent corruption as well as world politics were discussed, but sadly this was somewhat cut short by the most memorable part of the conference. The event was interrupted by the three brother spirits; Lumine, **Vidaldis**, and **Zendrei**. After these three spirits had bickered and complained about the corruption brought upon Arkitahn by the humans, a menacing fourth spirit appeared. This spirit was known only as the "Hooded Figure", and lusted for the artifacts the three spirits had forged in their death. With the humans who currently held those artifacts unwilling to give them up to this obviously evil figure, as punishment the Hooded Figure tainted the streets of Crescentia with corruption, infecting a few individuals and leaving Crescentia uninhabitable for the time being.

Following this conference the citizens of Arkitahn fled to their respective homes, and the Crescentians went on a pilgrimage to the Riverlands to seek refuge until they could return home and rebuild.

* **The Rockport Confrontation**

The **Rockport Confrontation** was a potential war declaration attempted by Crescentia, with the combined help of its allies Sanctus and the Riverlands (alongside the Riverlands' ally **Alexandria**). During this event the combined allied forces gathered together at the start of Day 7 to create the grand army. This army then marched to the walls of Rockport and demanded the execution of one of their supposed members or there would be war. However, the leader of Rockport denied the validity of roosters4dayz being a member for Rockport, instead claiming that they belong to the Waylanders, another faction which they claim no responsibility of their actions. With no war ensuing, the army returned to their homes without bloodshed. This eventually led to the signing of a temporary alliance treaty between Rockport and Crescentia.

* **The Little Bastard Monument**

On day 7, during the **Rockport Confrontation,** some of the Mesa Encampment and Cliffwale Abbey went to Crescentia to try and cure them from the corruption with a sacred apple which was found in a dungeon deep in the earth. A water monument was built, using holy water and a ceremony was held, to try and get the apple to do something. In a twisted turn of events, during their attempted ritual, Little Bastard showed up, claiming the apple for themselves. The people stayed hopeful for all of 10 minutes, but nothing happened. The water monument was then changed to appease Little Bastard, in the hopes that he would pity them. No pity was shown.

* **New Crescentia**

After the corruption infected Crescentia's Assembly Hall and the surrounding district on day 6, a wall was constructed on Day 7. Upon returning from Rockport, the corrupted area was quarantined and enclosed for the safety of all citizens. As a result, the "**New Crescentia**" district was constructed from Day 7 to Day 9, not only for the original Crescentians but also the new members of their nation and anyone else who wished to join

* **The New World Library**

**The New World Library** officially opened on Day 8, after multiple delays due to the corruption and the Rockport war attempt. The New World is run by the Crescentian Scholar AvatarKris, who constructed a research tower behind the Crescent Fountain. Later on, he acknowledged the importance of sharing information with all people and converted his research tower into a library where people from across the land can come, contribute books and learn from others from a safe and centralized location, thus regulating the flow of information across Arkitahn.

* **The Sancto-Crescentian Empire**

On Day 9, a meeting was held between the nations of Sanctus and Crescentia in New Crescentia's recently constructed new assembly hall. At this meeting it was decided that both nations would merge together to form **the** **Sancto-Crescentian Empire**. This new nation would be a combination of both existing nations, and made all citizens of both towns citizens of the Empire (able to trade and live in either city). New Crescentia was designated as the Capital of the Empire, while the town of Sanctus became the military headquarters of the nation, being a place where the Empire could regroup and retreat if necessary due to its immense fortifications. A new leadership system for this nation was devised, with **Thomas** and **Fluixon** as the primary representatives/leaders of the new Empire, and **Luxera** and **Ashen Overlord** as the vice representatives. **Saps** would retain his power as the Oracle of Crescentia (and now Oracle of the Empire), and would act as a cabinet member and deciding vote in ties.
