Server Timeline

## Summary

This is a timeline of all the Time periods of the server starting with the biggest era's, which are used to classify a time period longer than a month and to show things in a much larger scale usually beginning and ending with a single event.

Periods are transitions between era's and can be as long as era's themselves.

Ages are within era's and periods and are mostly used to differentiate between events in an era's or periods or in simpler terms used to show events that while major were not major enough to justify a new era.

## Pre Founding Era

Anything before the founding of the capital city, this era is very short and only involved one person .

This era starts upon the founding of the server and is categorized by the building the first roads and docks on the server, soon after the roads were finished, the servers first member Alex626 joined in and within an hour the original walls of the world capital were completed as well, the era ended upon the founding of the capital as an official city, Redmeatman joining, the finishing of the world capital center complex and lastly the server members leaving the world capital and traveling to the spot were they'd eventually settle.

## Early Founding Era

This era begins upon the founding of Ayoto and a small encampment that would eventually become the imperial capital of Zergeist, during this time there were no set borders and the term city wasn't exactly accurate with both settlements being closer in terms of size and appearance to a camp of village.

One notable feature of this era is the lack of mods with about 7 as compared to modern era's which average in about 10-25, a side effect of this was combat was very limited and almost vanilla in nature, although this period had almost no actual fighting so it really wasn't seen as an issue

This era saw the building of the original Zergeist walls and the founding of the space center by Squid-Red Coalition and the building of town center fort in Ayoto

The era ended upon the construction of non functional buildings in Ayoto and the addition of the Minecraft comes alive mod essentially bringing the server into the age of actual settlements and civilizations rather then small encampments.

## Rapid Expansion Era

This era marked the rapid expansion and modernization of areas leading to the first real cities in the form of the old camps expanding this era marks the transformation of the Squid-Red Coalition into The Squidonian Empire, which by the end of the period was the most powerful nation in the server, this period also included the last era in which Redmeatman consistently played, as well as Viking Seagull joining the server bringing with him the founding of the country Wickenfjorn and its capital city of Drammårn.

Note of Trivia: This era includes the famous and very funny Squidonain oil robbing incidents.

## Mod Expansion Era

This era is probably one of the most active era's in the server with constant war, the addition of many mods, cities growing to huge sizes, the first actual empires and the collapse of the Ukallik Shogunate.

This era saw the explosion of the power of the Squidonian Empire with the nation gaining many islands and more territory on the mainland, all while supplying both sides of the Ukallik-Wickenfjorn war and gaining huge profit off of it, although neutral for most of the war, trading and helping both sides, towards the end of the war/era Squid saw which way the war was turning and decided to join in with Seagull.

The Ukallik Shogunate, at the time, was plagued by the Crash Crisis and unable to work or even play for over 30 minutes at a time. The end was visible on the horizon. Even though it put up a good fight, the addition of the Squidonian Empire to Wickenfjorn's side was the final straw, and the small, underfunded and tech problem plagued nation simply could not withstand the two giants crashing down on it and after the short First Siege of Ayoto fell to Wickenfjorn.

## Post Shogunate Collapse Intermediate Era

Another short era taking place in between the collapse of the the Ukallik Shogunate and the foundation of the Neo Shogunate.

This period is mainly categorized by the exile of Alex626 which is its own story entirely, featuring Alex626 becoming the personal builder/maid to the Squidonian Imperial Family in order to pay for a country in order to lead a rebellion.

This period also featured Wickenfjorn taking all former Shogunate territory and becoming a true rival for the Squidonains.

## New Nations Era

The Current era, Started by the foundation of the Neo Shogunate, this era is categorized by major tensions between the newly formed Neo Shogunate and Wickenfjorn originally starting with minor skirmishes and robbing eventually turned into the Shogunate Restoration War with both sides set on the complete destruction of one another.

AwesomeAidan joined the server during this era becoming the second member of Wickenfjorn.
