Wilderness (faction)

The Kerguelen Islands claim prior to removal

**Former:**
Kerguelen Islands (France)
New Mexico (USA)
Vietnam
Olympic Stadium (Russia)

In factions, any land that is not claimed is called "wilderness."

However, on Day 2, a square of land surrounding the Kerguelen Islands was claimed by a faction called **Wilderness.** This faction has no leader and no description, though it is directly tied to the ongoing ARG.

The land was renamed to the United Nations by the admin Chip, but has since been reverted to its previous name, and another square surrounding the original one was added.

## History

### Day 4

Reflex22, King Burren, MichaelMcChill, and DinksterDaily raided it and found a shrine with a book titled "Warren" containing a new set of ciphers. Chip repeatedly tried to take it away from them, as supposedly, they weren't supposed to take it. Later on, after being attacked by lightning strikes, they received a book from chip that read "YOU CHEATED, INFORMATION NOW VOID".

During a second visit to the shrine, they discovered that it had been repaired, and a second "Warren" book had been left, which contained a new set of ciphers. The group was attacked by lightning again, and Michael lost all his items when he was killed. When he asked chip for his items back, Chip told him that he could have them back once they solved the puzzle. This shows that the second Warren book is most likely a clue for the ARG.

The shrine included banners that were mostly light blue with a yellow flower charge. There was also a sign that said "6000" discovered by Michael, although no screenshots are currently available. Reflex also discovered an overpowered, enchanted bow called *Octangula* that had strange enchantments such as Infinity II and Punch III. Later on, they realized that the shrine was actually a sundial. Under the sundial, there was some redstone that included a hopper. The hopper contained a Ward music disc that played the theme song of the 1998 TV Show "A Little Curious," a nether star, and a golden apple.

### Day 5

A new land claim appeared for this faction in the center of the USA. There was some confusion on whether AntVenom had claimed it after accidentally joining the Wilderness faction. However, that most likely isn't the case; InkTea and Chip were seen on the map after AntVenom began to claim some of the land for his new faction, Stal. They didn't say anything though, and AntVenom proceeded to claim over most of the area.

### Day 8

Following the conclusion of the Saint-Malo Trials, the Antarctic Empire was restricted to the continent of Antarctica. Wanting to claim usable land, Technoblade claimed a monument at the center of the Wilderness square. He and Ph1lzA proceeded to break its internal redstone components, much to Chip's dismay. Techno went on to claim the chunks atop the monument, which was inside of the Wilderness's autofilled claim, for the Antarctic Empire and established the colony of Port-aux-Francais.

### Day 9

The previous day's claim was revoked. *(which claim? pls explain)*

### Day 14

The claim over the Kerguelen Islands was dissolved by Chip due to the 1st Rule, and the land and  palace was reclaimed by Technoblade for the Antarctic Empire. The claims in Vietnam and the southwestern United States remain unaffected.

### Day 46

After the SMPEarth Moon Landing, the Dynmap was updated to include the Moon. Upon inspection, there is a strip of factional claims made by the Wilderness east of the Moon central island over the void. It is indeterminate whether this claim is intentional or accidental, though it may play a role in the future.

### Day 63

The Wilderness has claimed the newly-built Olympic Stadium, north of Log Lagoon.

### Day 76

The claims on the Olympic Stadium disappeared after the Fourth faction reset. As soon as players were able to reclaim on Day 81, Log Lagoon annexed this area to their faction.
