**Redo** (IPA: /ˈɹiːd.oʊ/; *REED-oh*; Saxon-English: *Redhaven*, Highland Gaelic: *Cala Dearg*) is the oldest city on Chasecraft. It is fully located in a Riverlands swamp biome on the western coast of the Red Sea, directly across which is the city of Redstonia. On Redo's southern border are the cities of Plavo and Eldenville, to its north is the city of Pinewood, and on its western border is the Chase River and the town of Chaseville. Historically, it was the cradle of the Chase Empire and Imperial civilization. From 2012 to 2016, it was its official capital.

Redo remains a center of Imperial commerce, science, history, and education. The University of Redo was the second oldest institution of higher learning on Chasecraft after Trex University, and the historic Redo city center is home to some of the oldest residential buildings on the server. The city has three churches—the North and South Churches of Redo and St. Gordon's Cathedral—and formerly hosted the headquarters of ChaseCorp.

## History

Redo was officially named on the 3rd of November, 2012, after a fictional city of childhood imagination. It has been designed and built almost entirely by NovumChase during its lengthy history. The early buildings, as is to be expected of a builder ten years of age, were very rudimentary—the very first, thought to have been made by sc00t3r123 with possible help from ROLLTIDEROLL, is now the Redo School of Architecture. The early city featured a massive woolen statue of Chase, the renowned Flaming Wall of Redo, and a towering building containing biome-themed rooms—known as the Block Mansion—made by Ashwin. It was nicknamed the "Crossroads of Minecraftia".

Redo was originally meant to politically join with the military base known as Bedrockia to become the capital of a kingdom called Bedrockia, hence the bedrock composition of its flaming wall. However, this did not come to fruition, and Redo later became the capital of the Chase Empire.

The city suffered heavy environmental damage during the Block War of October and November 2012. The last of this damage was cleaned up in early 2020, nearly eight years after it had been inflicted.

In approximately 2013–14, to keep with the historical design of Redo, the city's style was standardized to fit the look of the original oak-wooden buildings. This was a hallmark of the era—many towns, including Modernville and Redstonia, had standardized designs instituted at some point in their histories. On 28 August 2013, the flaming wall was dismantled, and only a fragment was kept near Redo's eastern harbor at lukevillani's advice. Colorworld, above Redo, was burned; its burning was downplayed until the creation of the Colorworld Monument in 2021.

Inactive for much of 2015, the city was revitalized during the summer of 2016—Heartwood Park was opened on 8 June 2016 to commemorate it. The text at the park's entrance reads as follows—*"This park commemorates the renewal of Redo on 8 June 2016. The town was refurbished after a year of inactivity."* Maynard Park was opened next to it in the Imperial Timeline. A New Redo was constructed on the January world in early 2017.

A second renewal came in April and May 2020, when the town doubled in size on account of northern expansions built during the COVID-19 quarantines of early 2020. The University of Redo, Church of North Redo, and the Redo General Hospital were built during this period. The Redian suburb of Artic City was removed at about this time; the Willoughby Home and Bells Home were built in its place.

## Infrastructure

The city of Redo is thoroughly connected to both surrounding and distant areas. By road, it is linked to Eldenville, Plavo, Union City, Redstonia, and the Riverlands Highway. The Redstonian connection is made via and undersea tunnel through which a one-track railway also runs. The railway extends out of Redo and connects to the Central Railroad at a station near Plavo.
