Auroran History

The purpose of this book is to give the world a glimpse into the history and popular lore within this great civilization. Without further ado, I present to you...

§6 The Jewel of the Plus Minus

The first days of Civcraft 2.0 were a mad dash. Groups all over the server had been planning their cities for weeks in anticipation of the start of the new world. There were plans for a quadrant meetup spot located at +3k -3k.

Players from all backgrounds made their way to this quaint little town and began their adventures. Some players went off mining and struck rich, while others searched for suitable locations to found their cities. The New Agorans

scouted for over a week until a location was finally found. +4200 -1600 A large bay surrounbed by forest for as far as the eye could see with a tiny testificate village on the west side.

the first few citizens to reach the location built houses on the beach of the bay, while Tambien_Sinclair began construction on the massive terrace walls that are still in place today. The leadership struggled to control the random building

occuring around the area, but as the days went on the first roads and plots were laid. Things progressed quickly at this point and the downtown district sprang into existence.

-Bohr Island -Alkaowni Province -Moonraker The government was set up by a constitution that required officials to be voted in by the citizens of the Federation. The main positions and Aurora's first official in each

construction, became a farmers district with ranch houses and larger plot sizes. It later on seceeded from the Federation. The East District was created by PeppermintPig as an industrial district in which the city could centralize its

factories. The University project was begun by Orikibise, and taken over by Ogel6000. This area flourished in design and architecture and was intended to be used as an ingame university. The West District was

originally designed by Pantostado1600 to be a smalltown themed neighborhood, but was later utilized as a district for new players. The North District was built around the northwest peninsula and surrounded AgentMuu's farm.

In order to fill the void in leadership, farley50 created the Ruff Howsers. Commonly referred to as the "RedHats" because of their iconic red leather hats, the Ruff Howser Gang quickly gained support throughout Aurora and became the first line of

defense against attacks of all kinds. Conspiracy theorists are convinced the RedHats secretly controlled the government behind the scenes using elected officials as puppets to further their needs. As time went on and

Aurora became better equipped to defend itself, the RedHats began to take a back seat role and moved out of the spotlight. Hidden signs and symbols can still be found throughout the city today, and it has been said that adventurers who lose their way in

Aurora's vast undercity speak tales of stumbling across the old RedHat club house. §2imgur.com/Ralqt1S imgur.com/2l3FLwh imgur.com/1u5msp5 imgur.com/nB1BpF6

terrorized New Agora by placing multiple stacks of DRO grief throughout the city in a matter of a few hours. New Agora spent three days camping the logout of Mandy until Mandy finally logged in and was pearled by farley50.

With the beginning of a new map, the New Agorans chose to invite the group to town in order to start fresh and try out a different play style. The Alkaowni played nice for a few weeks and even helped build a vault and sell exp.

Finally, one day the Alkaowni griefed Aurora with over 7 stacks of DRO; an attack so devastating that it singlehandedly brought about the creation of the Acid Block. After a month of work, the DRO was gone and Aurora moved on.

on the 'Mirango Co-op' which happened to be on the edge of the Bryn continent. This resulted in a long winded dispute in which members of the co-op were pearled, causing tension between Bryn and Aurora. Finally, the co-op members were released and

eventually all involved became friends. §1The Old Guard Exodus §0Also around this time something interesting began to happen. The 1.0 New Agorans (commonly referred to as the 'Old Guard') who planned and founded the city of Aurora

began to butt heads with new players that were starting to take on bigger roles throughout the city. Plot disagreements and arguments about the inefficiency of the government quickly created a fissure between most of the Old Guard and

Aurora's emerging leaders. This finally came to a head when a large group of the Old Agorans decided to leave the city. Though this event was tragic, Aurora continued to grow and thrive in the coming months.

and create a new charter. Finally, a charter was completed and governmental positions changed. This event was the final nail in the coffin of the federal government, causing Aurora to become increasingly more Anarcho-Capitalist

in nature. §1The Separation of the Townsfolk §0 After a few more months of peace and prosperity, the HCF became a clear and present danger to the server. Around this time, many

Citizens became inactive either out of boredom or real life commitments, and most of the core members of the city went off to fight the HCF while others moved to Fellowship or on to different projects. §2http://redd.it/1omgs5 http://redd.it/1hfeyr

city and even spawned a religion. During the Mirango Incident, signs were placed to claim territory much to the disapproval of Bryn. In response, Brynian citizens acquired a plot within Aurora and proceeded to place "Sign is God" signs all

over the plot. The "Sign is God" meme eventually became a religion as well. The Owluminati were responsible for building the Auroran National park. There have been many rumors of hidden rooms and even a full-sized Inn hidden

within the park itself. "Now that I am elected, I'll see you in 4 weeks!" Was a frequent joke around the city due to the inactivity of many officials upon being voted into their position. This left a majority of the decisions to the Secretary of the

Interiors who worked hard to build the city infrastructure with the citizens.

* The core group of players was very influential within the city. Whether they held office or not, they devoted many hours of time and effort into the city. Building factories, cleaning grief, coordinating construction; all of these things would not have

been possible without these players. §4Notable Locations: §0Auroran Lighthouse §2imgur.com/HjcmbPq §0National Park §2imgur.com/IPY7nBE §0Canals §2imgur.com/kF99r0L §0Undercity §2imgur.com/yfL6shd

beautiful city and will lead it into the future. With the help of Juz16, Lord_Brenton and Doymand; Aurora will continue on and prosper once again. the continued contributions by players such as Doymand have been an incredibly large help

and there is no doubt that the city has been left in good hands. §7 The End
