Auroran History by Farley50

world a glimpse into the history and popular lore within this great §0civilization.Without§0 further ado, I present to you...§6 The Jewel of the Plus MinusThe 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 §0world.There§0 were plans for a quadrant meetup spot located at +3k §0-3k.Players§0 from all backgrounds made their way to this quaint little town and began their §0adventures.Some§0 players went off

mining and struck rich, while others searched for suitable locations to found their §0cities.The§0 New Agoransscouted for over a week until a location was finally found.+4200 -1600A large bay surrounbed by forest for as far as the eye could see with a tiny

testificate village on the west §0side.the§0 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 §0today.The§0 leadership struggled to

control the random buildingoccuring 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 §0existence.Throughout§0 this book, various links

will be provided to enhance the reader's experience. Please type out the links to follow along.§2imgur.com/IFMKgxO§5This picture shows the first houses that were built.§2imgur.com/aO7pATa§5Here is another view§5showing the opposite side of the

throughout its time including:-Muutang Resort-Luxerion Island-Bohr Island-Alkaowni Province-MoonrakerThe 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 eachis posted here:§1Chancellor:§0Chemistry35§1Secretary of the Interior:§0farley50§1Secretary of Peace:§0Galvan_§1Secretary of Education:§0OrikibiseThe Secretary of the Interior was resposible for all infrastructure within

and around Aurora. They were not alone in this, however, as many citizens gave their time to construction.§4Chapter Three:Building the City§0AgentMuu build a large public farm northwest of Aurora that is still in use today. Originally quite far from the

city, urban sprawl quickly overtook it.§2imgur.com/7QYYkgY§5Picture of early district planning.§2imgur.com/AfSKS1E§5This is the earliest known picture of the town square.§0The South District, with the help of Hummelwagen who oversaw the

construction, became a farmers district with ranch houses and larger plot sizes. It later on seceeded from the §0Federation.The§0 East District was created by PeppermintPig as an industrial district in which the city could centralize §0itsfactories.The§0

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 §0university.The§0 West District wasoriginally designed by Pantostado1600 to be a smalltown themed

neighborhood, but was later utilized as a district for new §0players.The§0 North District was built around the northwest peninsula and surrounded AgentMuu's farm.§4Chapter Four:The RedHats§0Early in the history of Civcraft 2.0, settlements across

the world had a lot of trouble with griefers and raiders. This, coupled with the inactivity of the Secretary of Peace caused much §0strife.In§0 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 ofdefense against attacks of all §0kinds.Conspiracy§0 theorists are convinced the RedHats secretly controlled

the government behind the scenes using elected officials as puppets to further their §0needs.As§0 time went on andAurora 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/Ralqt1Simgur.com/2l3FLwhimg

multiple stacks of DRO grief throughout the city in a matter of a few §0hours.New§0 Agora spent three days camping the logout of Mandy until Mandy finally logged in and was pearled by §0farley50.With§0 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 §0style.The§0 Alkaowni played nice for a few weeks and even helped build a vault and sell §0exp.Finally§0, 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 §0Block.After§0 a month of work, the DRO was gone and Aurora moved on.§1The Mirango Incident§0Around the time of the conception of the South District, three new players came and settled

in Aurora: Hummelwagen, SexyBunny, and §0Mirandasquish.These§0 three also began constructionon the 'Mirango Co-op' which happened to be on the edge of the Bryn §0continent.This§0 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 §0city.Though§0 this event was tragic, Aurora continued to grow and thrive

in the coming months.§1Friedrich Dissolves the Government§0When the Old Guard left, the city of Aurora had elected FriedrichHayek into office. His main goal was to rework the constitution along with other core members of the city in order to

resolve redudanciesand create a new §0charter.Finally§0, 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-Capitalistin 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 §0server.Around§0 this time, manyCitizens 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:http:§2http:§4Chapter Six:Pop Culture§0Upon learning the amount of breaks a single piece of DRO requires,

an Auroran citizen proclaimed "1800?! JESUS". This phrase became well known throughout thecity and even spawned a §0religion.During§0 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 allover 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 hiddenwithin 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 theInteriors who worked hard to build the city infrastructure with the citizens.§4Important Names:§0Pantostado1600farley50PeppermintPigFriedrichHayekTaargus_*HummelwagenOgel6000ckeepChemistry35Ca

tZombies*Doymand** 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 havebeen possible without these players.§4Notable Locations:§0Auroran Lighthouse§2imgur.com/HjcmbPq§0National Park§2imgur.com/IPY7nBE§0Canals§2imgur.com/kF99r0L§0Undercity§2imgur.com/yfL6shdObservatory§2imgur.com/KJidvFV§0Skyrail
