Old Spawn

**Old Spawn** was the first spawn point of Tomartopia, and was characterized by a vast network of Stone worms and Monuments. The stone worms, which stretched far into the clouds, were critical to new players as it gave access to the nether roof. The spawnpoint of the world was eventually changed, leaving this area to be inhabited by old players who had already created their homes here and curious new players who had heard tales of the original birthplace of the world. Unfortunately, Old spawn was almost completely destroyed when spawn was reset to it's natural generation for the creation of the Great Spawn Toliet, pulverizing the Stone worms in all. After this destruction, traffic was basically reduced to zero. Also, there is a huge fucking bedrock dome difficult to enter.

## History

This is where Oney originally started his house in his Minecraft Let's Play, and shortly after made the world public by turning it into a server. Many people rushed to play on the server when it was first announced, causing this location and everywhere around it to flourish with player-built creations, structures, homes, and absolute works of art. Many times over, it was damaged by other players as well as Oney himself, who would use WorldEdit to create large holes, massive winding stone spires (aka the Stone Worms), clusters of TNT and many other things to bring entertainment to himself and others.

## Old Spawn Proper

The most famous and recognizable aspects of Old Spawn lies in it's innermost region. When players would first arrive in Tomartopia they would gaze upon large, gargantuan stone structures reaching far into the skies. The main hallmarks were the Great Stone Worms, which branched off in all directions. Described as "like a death star" like Zachary Hadel, the massive Stone Pyramid placed near the center was also a significant eyecatcher. New players would also notice the strange aspects of these structure, like how many of the worms were frosted with hundreds of dragon eggs (usually a extremely rare artifact) along with dozens of skeleton horses galloping up and down the worm's vast body. As these otherworldly aspects suggest, all of these structures were created by Oney and some undisclosed person (possibly Sonny) likely to test out their world-edit powers. Buffeted by all sides was a massive, thick stone wall with jagged parapets at its top. The Stone worms became particularly useful when a nether portal was built were all the worms converged together. Due to how high the worms were, this allowed the Portal to link to the nether roof portals, which were critical for long distance travel in the lands of Tomartopia.

## Greater Spawn Region

Beyond the walls, a barren but surprisingly intact land (for an anarchy server) appeared. Craters dotted all across the land with all vegetation and trees no where in sight, likely completely over-grazed in the opening days of the server. Reminiscent of a de-militarized zone or "No-Man's-Land", primitive and dilapidated settlements sat above the torn soil. The most famous settlement in this region is "the church of the Two-Ball"(Now "the church of one ball", since some fucker stole one). Another notable structure was the famous dirtopia. Small underground shelters and crafting benches with chests nearby mostly comprise the rest of this countryside.

## Decline

For obvious reasons, the traffic to this area declined when the world spawn point changed to the new location. However, that is not to say traffic completely stopped at this point. This location was a highly recognizable landmark with the benefit of it's location being widely known, as opposed the the many towns of Tomartopia whose coordinates were kept secret among the town member for fear of attack. Beyond this, older players had a connection to this location and was still used as a hub for meetup and trade, being useful as neutral ground to conduct buisness

##### Destruction of the Stone Worms and Monuments

Some time after the spawn had changed, Oney contracted Sunnival (a future admin) to construct a gigantic Toliet at spawn, evoking memories of the toliet built in the first Minecraft series he made. However, to clear the way for the construction of this monument, he reverted the Old Spawn to it's original world generation, completely destroying all of the Stone Worms and Monuments. Contrary to popular belief, only old spawn proper was affected by this; the Greater spawn region and it's settlements remained untouched. However, this would soon not matter as seen below.

###### Erection of the Great Spawn Dome

Upon completion of the Spawn Toliet by Sunnival, Oney ordered head admin JesterPlays to surround spawn in a giant bedrock dome to protect the Toliet. While people still grouped around the dome occasionally, this was effectively the end of Old Spawn being a major destination point, with many believing it impossible to enter. However, it can be accessed via the nether by placed the portal in the nether coinciding with a spot within the dome in the overworld although this is hard to accomplish
