### History

A small tribe emigrating from the northern tundra areas of the spawn mainland, headed to the south coast. In that tribe was *LightRhyme17026,* the founder of Rhodes. LightRhyme17026 started building a port, trying to form a trade route. Eventually this turned into a town called *King's Port.* The first few days (from about August 7th to August 9th) were a struggle. It was very poor and only had LightRhyme17026 and some villagers, with constant attacks from outsiders. Soon though, a cave was discovered, with lots of resources such as iron, coal, and gold. These were traded with which boomed the economy. In mid August, the country of *Jacksonville* was invaded by Rhodes. which was easily taken over in *The Jacksonian Invasion.* In early September, a new member of the country, *Christian\_\_\_Wood,* started a farm, turning King's Port into a major town, and Christian\_\_\_Wood became a governor of the state. Afterwards, jackson explored the northern part of the bay, sending boats over there and landing on a resource rich beach with a mountain range, founding the city of Los Antonios, later burned by the player *STB\_Jimbo* in the *Los Antonios Fire*. Which influenced him to explore more, discovering a flower field where Plumaberg was built. In early October to mid November, there was a conflict between *The Republic of Blakinator* and Rhodes. This conflict was resolved peacefully and ended in an alliance between the 2, along with *Funkinia* and *Philomena City*.
