About
Dreaded_Dust held regular meetings at the end of each session to reflect upon the session and discuss what each member found good and bad about each session. Dreaded would lead his nation through the Whispering_Sun conflict, hosting the first political wedding and the subsequent conflict with guardsmen from Podzil.
History
Dreaded_Dust joined Stairway to Heaven in it's inception stage, helping the nation grow from the humble skybase to the secondary platform. As a staircase was built to reach the wider platform, the name "Stairway to Heaven" was suggested and would become the official name. As there was no official leader of Stairway, Dreaded stepped into the vacant position and became the leader. His first order of action was to hold meetings at the end of each session, which would help build community and progress the nation forward.
Dreaded_Dust and Tender_Aether would muse about the idea of conflict to the concern of other members of the civilization.
During the middle parts of the event, a manhunt for Whispering_Sun under accusations of thievery and squatting, was conducted by Tender, Dreaded, Shadowed_Burn, Unknown_Warden and Final_Dirt. However, they were unable to find him for many sessions. Whispering_Sun would be hidden inside the Stairway civilization and then make their way into the nether, never to be found again. This resulted in a success for Dreaded in the conflict ticket as their goal was to exile Whispering_Sun.
At one point in the later sessions, Dreaded_Dust would go on a random murdering spree which would result in his permanently being inflicted with a curse.
Dreaded would present the award for "Best Work of Art" at the 1st Era Awards Contest.

About
A citizen of Stairway to Heaven, he spent most of his session down in the mines guarding the actual miners. His move to Stairway to Heaven was urged by multiple Stairway to Heaven citizens. He had atleast 3 different skins in the event, primarily he used one depicting the character Stark from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. His last few sessions were spent gathering the armor trims of his closest friends and putting books in the Stairway to Heaven library, which had ~30 unique books! Many of the books he compiled were stolen, probably most of them! He stole from both NPC and Podzil, but nobody called him out because they didn't care about what he stole!
History
Shadowed joined the server around session 5, he walked to the nearest settlement to him, "Podzil", where he stayed for ~1 session before taking multiple stacks of sugar cane and leaving to live in Stairway to Heaven with friends. He was first a farmer, for both Podzil and then Stairway to Heaven from sessions 5~6. He then went on to be a miner for Stairway to Heaven for a couple session. He spent most of his time on the server as a guardsman, still going down in the mines, just not doing any real work. In the last couple sessions. he leveled into blacksmith just to see his trim and finally in the last session he leveled into healer. His last moment on there server were spent with Dainty_Angel, they were just both looking for everyone else!

Tender_Aether

The "right-hand man" of Stairway to Heaven. Player Info

About
Tender_Aether was the secondary leading figure of Stairway to Heaven. She made herself core to the development of her nation by ousting the other blacksmith from their role, and later becoming their core healer. This conflict is notable as the first inter-player conflict in an event on Era of Civilization.
History
Tender_Aether joined Stairway to Heaven in it's inception stage, helping the nation grow from the humble skybase to the secondary platform. As a staircase was built to reach the secondary platform, Tender was present during the decision to make the name "Stairway to Heaven" official. Tender would become close allies with the leader of the civilization, Dreaded_Dust as they recognized each other from a prior event. This led to her becoming the civilization's unofficial secondary leader.
Tender_Aether and Dreaded_Dust would muse about the idea of conflict to the concern of other members of the civilization. Tender created a "murder plank" on the sky platform in the hopes to use it one day.
Through her growing influence in the nation, Tender monopolized the flow of resources to her blacksmith smithy where she made tools and armor for the civilization, her primary friends were Shadowed_Burn, a miner and Unknown_Warden who cut down the trees. This put her at odds with Whispering_Sun, another blacksmith who also utilized a great amount of resources in the nation. With a growing desire to become the only blacksmith, Tender was able to successfully file a conflict ticket to exile Whispering_Sun from Stairway to Heaven. They filed this ticket through the premise that Whispering_Sun was only able to reside in the nation without permission or fear of retaliation. This ticket was also boosted through reports from other players that Whispering_Sun had allegedly stolen their resources without asking.
Following next session, a manhunt for Whispering_Sun was conducted by Tender, Dreaded, Shadowed_Burn, Unknown_Warden and Final_Dirt. However, they were unable to find him for many sessions. Whispering_Sun would be hidden inside the Stairway civilization and then make their way into the nether, never to be found again. This resulted in a success for Tender in the conflict ticket as their goal was to exile Whispering_Sun.
As the only blacksmith in the civilization, Tender held an important role until she died, to which she reclassed to healer. Ironically, this resulted in a period of stagnation of resource development for Stairway as they lost both their vital blacksmiths.
Tender would later attend the first political wedding at Stairway, as well as present the award for the "Best Build" at the 1st Era Awards Contest.

About
Waking_Horizon was one of the first to join Stairway to Heaven and the first to make the stairway and the initial platform. Even tho he never partook in the politics of it, he served as a good stable and provided good points of view for Dreaded_Dust.
He later announced he was going to join a lot less with some signs in the library on session 14, but still joined and was present during most of the remaining time.
History
Waking_Horizon joined Stairway on the first day, when Flowery Maple and Ebon Hollow came to his high pillar that he built during the night.
After he joined, he started making the initial stairway. While everyone stayed on the first base under.
Throughout the event he stayed for the most part on the top platfrom with Burning_Smoulder, expanding the platfrom for the cathedral and and the other buildings, was also one of the first to go to Podzil for politics, he later became on of the people chosen to speak with the Podzil leader.
When the second platform got finished he became librarian and moved permanently inside it to farm xp, where he started making a global map. Also created and managed the player census.
When the expansion of the border happened, he travelled to the new desert with Ebon_Hollow to take the first cactus of Stairway.
