## History

Despite joining months after most players at the time, Dragon Warrior was hoping that some day he would leave his own mark in the server history as had others before him, and to this day it's fair to say, he accomplished his goal.

### Early days

Used to being an explorer-type of player, Dragon Warrior traveled thousands of blocks the same day he first joined. After reading in the rules that it was a war & factions server, he understood that if a war were to ever start, he wanted to have a safe establishment the enemies wouldn't so easily find. So he traveled South West (the opposite direction to all previously established nations) to get more land and resources to himself that hadn't been yet taken, until he found a good place to settle.

After hours of traveling, coming across tons of biomes and even Rupert's (aka BalorFomorian's) old base and iron & mob farms. He eventually found a crossing between a desert (for more diamonds and sand and temples), a jungle for bamboo and incredible amounts of wood (specially with the timber plugin) and a swamp (for slimes), it worked for him and so he settled at around -5865, 5745.

One day following his first time joining, he brought his 2 friends: vanafa & ViFlor (with whom he had been working with for a Minecraft Suggestions-related project, so he thought was appropriate) despite them not being level 5. No one really said anything to Dragon until the war started and it was used as an argument against him for having encouraged rule breaking, and his friends were not allowed to play until they leveled up as rules indicated. But these friends were still fairly active during their first weeks in the server, and together, the 3 of them founded 'The Infernal Slayers'.

### Infernal Slayers

The Infernal Slayers (called 'Inferno' for short) is the old name of the current Grugoria, but you could talk about it as if it was a completely different nation, because it was in a lot of ways. After founding the nation with his 2 friends, Dragon had plans to become a major power in the server and wanted to use the war system to establish themselves as one. So they grinded valuable resources quickly to compensate for their 5-month time disadvantage towards other nations. Despite being very new to Minecraft Java Edition, Dragon Warrior was always interested in PvP and so he began getting more and more into the 1.16 version (which is the version the server was on) and made that the main theme of the nation. Him and ViFlor both practiced together and became better and better as they gained experience, while vanafa, an experienced builder, helped out with making the base look nicer and played more chill while still gathering very important resources such as netherite or villagers.

The initial plan was to have fully enchanted netherite gear but never all on at the same time so that other nations would be unaware of Inferno's possessions (if you don't have it all at the same time, you don't get the achievement), so while enchanting, the gear was divided between the 3 players with Dragon taking care of boots, vanafa of helmets and ViFlor of leggings and chestplates (eventually Dragon got the achievement but not a lot of response to it as other members from other nations became less and less interested in the server).

Dragon later managed to get new members to join his nation by using a 'started kit' system as incentive. He would make a bunch of kits for different playstyles and would offer the items in them for free to any Infernal new member who could pass a test strictly related to that kit (first came 1000collections who passed with the builder test; stuk and goji joined after, stuk through the builder test and GojiraGuy through farmer test, they both passed; later came melplaysmc [formerly known as renbruv] who also passed with the builder kit). Technically Planemaster joined the nation too, though he never participated in the kit & test initiative.

As leader, main founder and most active player, Dragon kept most of the precious items in shulkers his ender chest, other than the gear which vanafa and ViFlor were working on. Most of Inferno's first diamonds were obtained by the mining work of ViFlor while vanafa worked on villagers and Dragon on stuff like nether exploring. Dragon looted more bastions than anyone in the server and had a peculiar obsession with gold, it started off as just the crafting ingredient for the golden apples he would use in war, but then grew to be more than just that. To this day, he has crafted about 800 gold blocks from the ingots he obtained and has picked up **over 3000 gold blocks** (although this number may be altered by him having mined and picked up gold blocks he used to power beacons).

And of course, the moment of they had been preparing for would come, all that grinding worth for something...

### The Infernal War

On November 24th of 2020, Dragon Warrior officially declared war to Interpolis (the biggest nation at the time). Knowing the agreed prep time was 3 days, Dragon Warrior had this perfectly planned so that the war would start as soon as he finished school for 2020 (declared it on Tuesday and Friday would be his last day of school before summer break). So him and his friends were full on ready to fight, but for 'technical reasons' (most of Interpolis not being active at the time) the war was postponed to leave Interpolis 2 weeks of preparation. Dragon Warrior actually used these 2 weeks to train much more PvP and he ended up learning a huge amount of tips and strategies after joining a PvP community on Discord. The war date was later pushed a few more times because key interpolitan or infernal members couldn't make it, but ended up being finally settled and started on December 18th.

There was an unexpected turn of events when the war started, in the summit previous to the war, 0range\_ (king of Citrustan at the time) declared that Citrustan would be supporting Interpolis, unlike previously stated unofficially (they had always claimed to be neutral). TheRedSwordsman had convinced most of Inferno's members at the time (stuk, mel and goji) to defect to neutrality under the wing of the major old nations. Daymaster (leader of Frostonia) betrayed him and moved to the other side of the war together with Downfall21. Asgard members and Interpolis members became more active and CreeperMagnet and Rotazione joined the server and the big nations opposed to Dragon for the war (although Rota chose to remain neutral). Suddenly, the whole server appeared to be against him and his friends vanafa and ViFlor weren't really active anymore. The only person he had left on his side was his old friend Ozone, leader of Ozway. But Dragon was not gonna give up just like this. Having actual PvP experience now, and with all the resources he had obtained, he knew his opponents (unlike what they publicly claimed) knew he had a chance of actually winning this. He believed that deep down, they were more scared of the war than him, and so he went on with it without ever even considering a premature surrender despite all of the threats and offers by his rivals. It was gonna go down as the biggest war in server history yet: The Infernal Slayers vs The Central Union

The war started off with Dragon looting Asgard's capital, Citrucity and Sendineipolis while Interpolis, Asgard and Citrustan members took over his main base. Although by this point, after so much preparation, everything valuable had been stashed. AncientSnail, TheRedSwordsman and Sendineism spawned a wither in Dragon's base as an incentive for him to come, and he did. But he did, ready to fight. In the only real battle of the war, Dragon 1v3'd the previously mentioned opponents and ended up killing Sendineism twice (although there was a technical issue with Sen having KeepInventory on which led to the death meaning basically nothing, as he could use /back and make no difference). After several minutes of fighting, the 3 Central Union members were running low on resources and armor durability and so decided to retreat with their elytra, Dragon considered this a victory with the cherry on top being Downfall21 arriving after the 3 rivals retreated, and Dragon (who still had the strength effect on him) killing him and getting some of his OP items. Although he later agreed to give back Downfall's OP Smite sword for a few diamonds, as he did not need it for anything nor did it affect him for the war.

The coming days after this battle, there were endless discussions in Discord about what to do with the war, if rules needed to be changed and all. The Central Union ended up using their vote majority to completely change the rules to not include any OP gear and only custom kits determined by them. They also ended up voting off the war Dragon had started which left him with a very bad taste. And this is probably the start of the continued hatred of the CU vote supremacy by Dragon, which would end up causing a lot more than just a fight.

### Post-Inferno

After the war was canceled, Dragon Warrior decided to let Stuk and GojiraGuy come back and be the rulers of his nation. He allowed them to completely take over with their ideologies. No more war mongers, no more PvP-themed nation, that signature left with Dragon and so Inferno turned into the currently known as 'Grugoria', a building-themed nation.

Dragon would become a nomad, and to just literally part himself from all the previous conflicts, he traveled millions of blocks and settled in a desert about 3 million blocks from spawn (this is the furthest anyone has been to in the server history without the use of commands or cheats so far).

### Anti-CU

After a temporary break from politics, Dragon was privately made an offer by Rotazione and Qilby (2 ex Central Union members). They talked to him because they wanted to secretly leave the Central Union and work together to dissolve it, as they saw it as just a bunch of power-hungry players who thought they could become world dictators with their vote power (technically they kind of could since vote power implied operator/admin enforcement).

Dragon considered the offer, and looking back to all that had happen between him and the CU, and that bad taste they left him when they canceled his war, he contacted Rota and Qilby letting them know he wanted in.

He was invited to a server called 'Solisterra' which would be the nation that Qilby and Rota wanted to form together after the CU was gone. Dragon insisted to call the server 'Anti-CU' to not confuse members, but Rotazione refused.

Dragon Warrior got several screenshots from inner CU chats from Rota, depicting the bad side they secretly had and really showing off that hunger for power and their willingness to 'diplomatically' destroy anyone who didn't join them. They had plans to force Andromeda and Techlon to become part of the CU, with much less vote power than the main 3 nations (Asgard, Interpolis and Citrustan) and basically be controlled by the decisions of these 3. So Dragon contacted the leaders of Andromeda and Techlon (Karisma and RocketTwitch) about this and got them to join the Anti-CU. he later got Frostonia (aka Frosty Hideaway) to join too, but partly (he didn't trust Daymaster because of his betrayal).

RocketTwitch decided he would stay neutral and just vote for whatever he believed was fair. Karisma wanted to stick it to the CU for underestimating their nation and thinking they could just play with them and control them as some sort of pawn because of their vote power. So all of Andromeda's members got in this too. Plans started being made about a summit in which Anti-CU would have more vote power and would attempt to set rules that wouldn't let the CU or anyone with this vote power just take control (in other words, a meganation was made to stop meganations from having too much power). It was gonna go well until TheRedSwordsman called for a spontaneous summit saying he 'wanted to discuss some stuff'.

In this summit, he revealed that Downfall21 had leaked all the secret chats from the Anti-CU and after endless arguing, everyone got tired of these politics and decided to promote #ReturntoSMP which would mean getting rid of all votes, alliances and unions and just play this like a normal multiplayer server between friends. This later cause the server to have a long period of inactivity known as 'the post-CU dormant era'.

### Post dormant era

Dragon joined the server again (on April 3rd, 2021) after Multiple34 joined for the first time to create their nation formerly known as 'Kuropia' now known as 'Lerfenia'. Knowing them from Discord, and believing they have purely peaceful and not-political intentions, he joined to give a try to a different type of life that didn't revolve around grinding and fighting for power.

### Relations

Dragon's main friend throughout the entire server history is the leader of Ozealand, and former honorary Infernal: Oznomaly (aka Ozone). Even when the entire server was against him in the war, Ozone is the only person that still remained actively on Dragon's side no matter what. He even attempted to falsely portray himself as a double spy for the Central Union, giving them outdated or false information about Dragon's plans to confuse them. He has always been Dragon's most trusted ally and the only person to ever see the content in Dragon's most valuable shulker boxes (in his ender chest).

He befriended Qilby and Rota during the Anti-CU times, when they would organize their plans and actions together to accomplish a common goal, even though he never agreed to join their nation Solisterra.

Although Dragon Warrior's relationship with the rest of the Central Union members did improve after #ReturntoSMP ended with most political discussions, they still have that messy past lying behind them. And Dragon still sees TheRedSwordsman as a failed attempt to a world dictator who lost control of himself after having so much vote power in his hands.

AstroChara and Dragon Warrior were never very active during the same periods of time, but they are taking off as friendly to each other so far, despite being from Interpolis, Chara was never really involved in the Infernal War nor was really opposed to Dragon.

Relations between Dragon and Techlon were pretty much the same as everyone else's relation with techlon. Neutral, no issues nor special treatments. They were just doing neutral business between each other.

Dragon always maintained a very solid relation with most of the Infernal members (this includes 1000collections, Stuk and GojiraGuy) and had a bit of a rough patch with melplaysmc after she became a Citrustani citizen and insulted Dragon and his nation, accusing him of being a careless tyrant with no chances of winning the war.

Dragon, vanafa and ViFlor were friends in real life and actively talked to each other while playing, and this relationship transferred to the game too. They were obviously very united and the people Dragon trusted the most together with Ozone.

## Trivia

* Dragon had a temporary obsession with wheat in the server, and planned to build a giant wheat temple as a half shop / half monument praising the mighty crop. He has mined over 5,400+ haybales and has **picked up over 72,500+ wheat seeds**. Most of these coming from his giant wheat farm.
* Dragon's favorite color is yellow.
* Dragon changed the gems of the crown in his skin after he left Inferno, as some kind of split between being an actual king to just a nomad with a king skin.
* The reason why Dragon started the war against Interpolis specifically is still a bit of a mystery. His past statements have included: 'For the fun/sake of it' / 'To gain power and recognition' / 'To steal Interpolitan resources' / 'To take control of the land and get rid of automatic farms' / 'To boost back server activity' / 'To protect members of his nation if they ever were to leave' among others. It is not yet known which or if any of these reasons is the truth.
* Dragon Warrior was a proud owner of 3 Pufferfish pets: Mr. Puffy Puffs, Luffy the Puffy (named by Downfall and RocketTwitch) and Sir Puffsy Van Puff.
* someone please cut this page down lmao (why? its perfect as is; probably add another section for nat 3 activities or lack thereof)
