Stornwald

Stornwald Selfie

Stornwald joined Purity on October 4th 2019, looking for a more punishing survival experience. He would take his time exploring the regions around spawn before heading out to make his first base. After a few months of building his underground base he would invite his close Minecraft friends, Zifty\_, Sigha, and The\_LastGurdian, along with his two brothers Mr\_Shnebly and Ringforger. Sigha and Stornwald went ahead and built their first gold farm while Zifty\_ handled the other redstone farms. It was a cozy place for one to call home.

This small group would come to call themselves 'Gondor' after Stornwald created a small spawn fortress during one of the servers Temp Maps, creating a small community that would then be raided by the Chadlets - Shwmepotatosalad (Hux) and Vivid. Stornwald would be killed with a swift crystal from Shwmepotatosalad defending 'Gondor'. This would be Stornwalds first encounter with the Chadlets.

## **The Hardcore Event**

*This event consisted of a 5kx5k overworld, three lives per player, 1 life only with shrinking map borders to a random location on the final day. With the Grand Prize of the Last player standing winning the Dragon Egg.*

Stornwald joined the Hardcore Event right from the start and set his eyes on the prize for the most playtime in the week long event, The Victory Sword. He wasted no time finding a village and began trading with the villagers for enchants and gear. The\_LastGurdian would assist him in the early days of the event. Midweek Stornwald TheLast\_Gurdian, and Sigha, had all they needed for pvp except for potions as Stornwald had failed to grab any nether wart in the early days.

The three would enter into a pvp engagement near the nether spawn against P0PCAT, Satan, and MichealCycle. The fight was heavily favored for Satan's team as they had potions. The\_LastGurdian would sadly lose his third and final life in this battle from an aerial crystal ambush from MichealCycle.

Stornwald would move on. After a while Stornwald desperately needed nether wart so he cut a bargain with his enemies Satan and P0PCAT, ender pearls for some nether wart. However, it was a trick and after Stornwald dropped 16 ender pearls, they tried to crystal him popping his totem, but Stornwald had more ender pearls and escaped. Stornwald then on his way home ran into his former Temp-map enemy Shwmepotatosalad and ran for his life not looking for another fight with this pvp master.

It was at this point Stornwald knew he would not survive the coming battle of the final day without allies and potions. So he talked to the Chadlets, but they believed him to be on Satan's team, and Satan's team believed him to be on the Chadlets. After some convincing it became clear Stornwald was from neither side and decided he would help the Chadlets and vow vengeance against Satan's team for the death of The\_LastGurdian.

After the grief and raid of the Chadlets main base, they also needed help. Moving to Stornwald's base, a village in the corner of the map, miraculously not found by anyone, the Chadlets and friends began gathering as much god gear as they could. Stornwald doing most of the villager trading along with buying as many ender pearls as he could to distribute among the army.

In the coming final days Stornwald and J a member of Satan's team were at odds, both seeking to gain the Victory Sword for most playtime. The Chadlets had a gold farm constructed over an ocean and Stornwald would stay up all night grinding. In the early moments of the morning Stornwald saw Soosh swimming near the gold farm followed by the rest of Satan's team and sounded the alarm, but he was outnumbered and forced to flee to the main base. It was then that disaster struck, Stornwald was ambushed at his base while the others were creating TarqShark's brewery off shore. Three invisible players in full god gear came down on him and he was forced to combat log. He then decided to have a well deserved rest, hoping he would still be able to get the most playtime. After a good night of sleep Stornwald rejoined, saved by the Chadlets who scared off Satan's goons.

It was soon after, on this final day that the last preparations would be made at Tarqshark's Brewery. Gearing up to the teeth, Stornwald and the rest of the Chadlet army, along with Shot Caller Ragsterinja, boated out from their Island Brewery to make history. At this point it wasn't about the Dragon Egg... well it was, but also it was about making Satan's team feel like shit for wasting a week of their life for nothing.

In the epic battle that ensued Stornwald's brother Mr\_Shnebly was killed. When the dust settled, it was clear that Stornwald and the Chadlets, along with his friend Sigha, and Ragsterinja had been victorious. In the shenanigans after Satan was vanquished it came down to Stornwald, Shwmepotatosalad, and Ragsterinja. The three decided for a free for all. Rag, using ender pearls provided by Stornwald in the early days of the event as a show of friendship, immediately got right below Stornwald and e-crystal him in a matter of moments. Then using the combined gear of Stornwald and himself, Ragsterinja was able to defeat Shwmepotatosalad and claim the ultimate prize the Dragon Egg.

After the event Stornwald was given the Victory Elytra for third place, along with the Victory Sword for most playtime.

## **The Aftermath**

In the days after the Hardcore Event, Stornwald became restless. He would find greys at spawn and help them escape, one notable player that he helped was Creep Assasin, better known as Creep who went on to become an influential member of the Purity community. Another player that caught Stornwald's eye was a grey named wRongo. wRongo seemed to be proficient at farm building and in general seemed experienced in the game and was trying to figure out a viable crossbow pvp style. Stornwald invited wRongo to his main base hoping he would build some farms for him.

After this Stornwald left Purity Vanilla for a month. When he returned his base was blown up and all his chests were broken. In the ruins he found his first and only beacon that he used to mine the base. It was discovered that wRongo had blown up the base with his friend SafaStar for fun, thinking Stornwald had quit the server. After this Stornwald would travel from place to place never really settling down again.
