**TheRedSwordsman** (commonly known as **Red**, **PowerPoint**, and **Fedora**) was the former king of Citrustan and was the unofficial head of the Central Union for a short while.

## History

TheRedSwordsman was one of the oldest members of Nations 2, joining Citrustan shortly after its founding.

### N2 - Historic Era

TheRedSwordsman was the first person to join Citrustan in Nations 2 after it was founded by \_0range. Upon joining, he immediately started contributing to the growth of Citrucity. He’s credited for the completion of the community building, the many houses in the city, and other improvements. He also invited many new players to the young nation, including Magma\_Act and Gik76.

He was also one of the major developers of Citrustan’s llama army, gathering llamas from the surrounding mountains and breeding them in a hedge. Unfortunately, the army fell during the Llama Criticality Accident, which was caused by TheRedSwordsman accidentally hitting one of the llamas.

### N2 - Expansionist Era

#### *Growth of Citrustan*

TheRedSwordsman was a key player in the growth of Citrustan during the Expansionist Era. When new members joined, TheRedSwordsman would provide tours of Citrucity for players. When New London was built, tours started from there and then moved to the capital. During these, he would emphasize the collaborative focus of Citrustan. All of this resulted in a large amount of players joining the nation.

TheRedSwordsman, along with Gik76 and Pevelende, eventually went on to found the town of Rosehill. They started by building what is now the Rosehill Community Center, and they expanded from there. TheRedSwordsman was dubbed the Mayor of Rosehill (originally given to Gik76, who then gave it to TheRedSwordsman) and, when a full colony sprang from the town, head of Arbore.

#### *Titles in Citrustan*

TheRedSwordsman maintained a close connection with \_0range, the first King of Citrustan. He advised the King on many occasions and gained many positions, becoming the mayor of Rosehill, head of Arbore, and chief of CAWS.

#### *Central Union*

*Main article: Central Union*

TheRedSwordsman was a major player in the early events of the CU. He constantly discussed plans regarding the possibility of the Infernal Slayers ever attacking one of the member nations. At this time, he opposed Citrustan participating in such wars due to the nation having an alliance with the Infernal Slayers.

### N2 - Belligerent Era

#### *Infernal War*

TheRedSwordsman was one of the main participants of the Infernal War, fighting on the side of the Central Union.

When the war declaration was made by MrDragonWarrior, he immediately denounced the statement and threatened the Infernal Slayers. Despite this, he continuously publicly insisted that Citrustan was going to be neutral in this conflict. Behind the scenes, TheRedSwordsman was one of the largest contributors to war plans, forming attack strategies and frequently scouting the Infernal base. During this time, he convinced melplaysmc to form Melodiana as a Citrustani partially autonomous territory and break away from MrDragonWarrior's rule; he also caused GojiraGuy1954 and StukTBH to defect from the Infernal Slayers and create Grugoria.

When the war began, TheRedSwordsman started developing Adventure Town as the Central Union's headquarters, helping with the introduction of board games and many other rooms in the stronghold. While MrDragonWarrior was offline, he spawned a wither inside the Infernal base; it is unknown as to whether or not this caused death to many of the animals nearby, including MrDragonWarrior's pufferfish. TheRedSwordsman also participated in the first and only battle of the Infernal War, fighting against MrDragonWarrior alongside Sendineis and Ancient\_Snail. Due to inadequate resources being packed, he was forced to call a retreat from the base. TheRedSwordsman views the battle as a draw, though it is more commonly seen as a loss due to the failure of the CU to accomplish its objective.

After the battle, discussion began as to whether or not the war should be ended immediately. TheRedSwordsman advocated for a rewrite of the rules and a restart to war, but most others didn't want the war to continue in any form. Due to the overwhelming support in favor of abolishing the war, the Infernal War was abruptly ended.

#### *Central Union*

*Main articles: Central Union & Central Union vs Solisterran Opposition*

After the war, TheRedSwordsman became critical to the Central Union’s development. He planned out building projects and was often included with the leaders regarding important discussions. Additionally, he was also one of the main proponents of the CIA rule that the CU became infamous for, writing the basis for the CU's constitution. Eventually, ownership of the CU discord was transferred to him, and he was recognized as the unofficial head of the alliance. Because of this, TheRedSwordsman is usually blamed for the deterioration of the CU; however, he counters by pointing out that he lacked any legal power that other CIA councillors didn’t have and was always subject to the rules put in place.

When the Solisterran Opposition rose as an opponent to the CU, Downfall21 immediately alerted him of war preparations occurring. TheRedSwordsman sought to put a stop to this by calling a summit to expose and negotiate with the SO. This ultimately led to the collapse of the two parties and the concept of nations as a whole, severely diminishing the server’s activity and kickstarting the Post-Belligerent Dormancy.

After the dissolution of the Central Union, he and woakey deleted all of the alliance's discord channels (with the latter doing the vast majority of the deletion) to make way for the #ReturnToSMP movement. This has made it more difficult to get accurate information about events within the Central Union.

### N2 - Post-Belligerent Dormancy

#### *Children of the Wither*

*Main article: Children of the Wither*

TheRedSwordsman was a stark adversary of the Children of the Wither, founded by Downfall21 and led by Daymaster. He would often try to persuade Daymaster in particular away from the cult, although all efforts failed. Downfall21, secretly wanting to leave the group, led TheRedSwordsman on a wild goose chase around the server that culminated with a confrontation involving Daymaster at the shopping district.

After a brief period of coercion from Daymaster, TheRedSwordsman shot an arrow through his skull, killing him once more and plunging him further into insanity. Any cordial feelings between the two seem to have ended at this moment.

#### *Kingship*

TheRedSwordsman was made a Descendent of Orange and thus King of Citrustan on February 22, 2021.

### Renaissance Era

TheRedSwordsman has been more active in the post-dormant era, but he hasn't done much of note. Projects to improve Citrustan's infrastructure (especially that of Citrucity) are underway, but these have proved difficult with a fraction of the members Citrustan once had. It also appears that the relationship between him and Daymaster has worsened.

### Nations 3

In Nations 3, TheRedSwordsman was a member of Lesoria.

### Nations 4

In Nations 4, TheRedSwordsman is the leader of Spruceland.

## Relations

TheRedSwordsman is viewed in notoriety by a few members of the server. In particular, MrDragonWarrior and Daymaster advocate that he was and still is an evil, power-hungry dictator. The continuous feud between him and the latter, which has grown harsher over time, have caused ever fluctuating relations between Citrustan and Frostonia.

Gik76 always had friendly relations with TheRedSwordsman but recently they have started coming into conflict on how Citrustan should be run. Gik76 wants the abolition of the monarchy while TheRedSwordsman wants to keep it.

Initially, TheRedSwordsman was friendly to melplaysmc, defending her whenever she was opposed by other members of the nation. However, this relation started to deteriorate due to her insults directed at many players, including him. When melplaysmc left the server, he ended association with her.

TheRedSwordsman and woakey have had some arguments in the past regarding whether Citrustan or Interpolis was a better nation than the other. However, it's unclear as to whether these debates were composed of serious claims or jokes.
