Luminus

Luminus is a town located on the East Coast of Australia, in the Oceanic Empire. It's built with a peaceful Medieval style, and bracketed by the capital city of New Amsterdam to the South & Sandakan to the North. The town used to produce Slimefun materials as well as providing some effort during sieges within the Empire. The town produces no daily resources. On the 25th July 2022, after much consideration, it was decided that the time for Luminus had ended and the town disbanded soon after, with most of its residents moving to the town of Celle.

### **Founding of Luminus**

#### **The end of Dreadmoor & the start of Luminus**

Before Luminus, there was Dreadmoor & Ravenmoor. They were a group of towns located in The Valley of Death in Nevada, USA. Primarily composed of CCNet builders, its members had massive ambitions for the new Nations season. However, bickering within the town sent it into inactivity in late April, 2021. Liciea, a comayor of Dreadmoor, rallied up the remaining townspeople, and migrated to Australia, where he officially founded Luminus on the 27th of May, 2021.

#### **The growth of Luminus**

Soon after its founding, Luminus developed and expanded with new buildings & infrastructure. The three founding members, JerryDuck, Daynxii, and Liciea, each focused on a massive portion of the town's ecosystem. Daynxii built up its Slimefun infrastructure, JerryDuck erected its buildings, and Liciea landed a spot on Oceania's States General, the highest level of the nation's government. Reports on June 1st, July 7th speaks of a very active & participating town. Luminus linked up with Rockhampton, as well as New Amsterdam & Sandakan via trades & road networks

#### **The Stunt Growth & The Gradual Decline**

In late July and early August of 2021, the Oceanic Empire witness its first downfall towards inactivity as its leaders become uninvolved with the nation. Luminus and other towns in the Oceanic Empire were badly affected by this change, and progress slowed down to a near-halt, with minimal work being done on the town.

In early September 2021, members of Luminus joined an expedition headed by TheBlueMagician & Taziaq to start anew in Europe. Liciea stayed back to maintain the town, while Daynxii, JerryDuck, and much of the town's remaining active players left to found & develop the City of Celle. A few months later, Liciea and the rest of Luminus joined Celle, handing the town to MaryaMisuki, which proved to be a fatal mistake.

#### **The Burning of Luminus**

On the 22nd of May 2022, MaryaMisuki started the great fire of Luminus by unclaiming the majority of the town. Every single building in Luminus was engulfed in fire & subsequently destroyed by TNT. In the aftermath of the Fire, almost nothing remained of the town and it was disbanded. However, this action prompted a reaction from both the people of Celle and Oceanic Citizens, who called Marya out for her selfish & thoughtless deeds. Marya was promptly reported and banned for 1 month before quitting CCNet.

Efforts were made after the Great Fire to restore Luminus. Luminus was re-founded 5 days after and managed by Hydrx\_. However a quick survey indicates that most of the town remains damaged and destroyed, with little to no hopes of returning it to its glory days. The people of Celle quickly abandoned the idea of restoring Luminus, But 2 players Zay and santa recliamed luminus(date unknown) and renamed it new myntora santa worked hard to rebuild alot of the buildings such as the stables graveyard and the christmas tree but then santa was ordered to go run krieg and zay was left alone eventually without any explanation she quit the server and the town collapsed which then officially ended luminus and the town was left as a historical artifact. On the 25th June 2023, Luminus's journey finally ended as the town was disbanded, ending its existence on the server.

### **Activities within the Oceanic Empire**

When the town was active, Luminus partook in trading activities across the Empire, selling Slimefun materials as well as building materials. Its citizens were involved in politics, with Liciea working their position in the States General to bring a massive trading network to Oceania. Some members of Luminus participated in sieges during the SCA wars. One of Luminus's most valuable exports were horses, which went through extensive breeding programs, producing the best horses in the server.

#### **Infrastructure**

Luminus features many rustic medieval housings as well as large farmlands cultivating wheat and potatoes. In the centre of town lies the Townhall, which has since been abandoned. To the North lies the Slimefun factory & the greenery area. The Southern region contains the residential areas and market, which connect to dockyards running along the town's coastline, as well as integrating the town into the nation's extensive network of roads.
