Dreaded_Dust The leader of Stairway to Heaven. Never seen without a hat.  Player Info Role Leader of Stairway to Heaven Affiliations Stairway to Heaven Friends Members of Stairway to Heaven Enemies Soft_Serenity, Whispering_Sun Era 1st Era I was told to make a joke on stage, but sadly no one from Podzil is here.  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.  Gallery "What is he hiding in that hat?"  Ebon_Hollow The first healer of Stairway to Heaven.

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! Gallery Shadowed_Burn and Unknown_Warden.  Tender_Aether The "right-hand man" of Stairway to Heaven.  Tender_Aether is significant for being the first player to successfully file a conflict ticket in an event in Era of Civilization.  Player Info Role Healer (Formerly Blacksmith and Builder)  Affiliations Stairway to Heaven Friends Dreaded_Dust, Shadowed_Burn, Unknown_Warden, Lulling_Sparkle, Ebon_Hollow, Burning_Smoulder, Ghostly_Demon Enemies Whispering_Sun Era 1st Era Oh my god, I did so much evil stuff actually. (Moment of self-clarity)  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.  Gallery Tender_Aether and other members of Stairway at Heaven fishing in their early skybase.

(Whispering's last words to Dainty_Angel before departing Stairway).  About Whispering_Sun is notable for being the only player to have their name announced via a conflict ticket, prior to changes in the announcement of players within the conflict ticket system.  History Whispering_Sun was one of two blacksmiths at the "Stairway to Heaven" civilization. Through her growing influence in the nation, Tender_Aether, the other blacksmith 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 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. Whispering_Sun upon the presence of his conflict ticket would bid farewell to his friend Dainty_Angel. Whispering_Sun would be hidden inside the Stairway civilization for a period of time and then make their way into the nether, never to be found again in the overworld for many sessions. This resulted in a success for Tender in the conflict ticket as their goal was to exile Whispering_Sun.  Whispering would then reemerge many sessions later and reside in Podzil till the end of the event.  Gallery (Whispering_Sun's message left behind in his residence in Stairway).  Burning_Smoulder The Quiet, Main Builder of Stairway To Heven Player Info Role Award winning Builder Affiliations Stairway To Heven Friends Tender_Aether, Dreadad_Dust, Ebon_Hollow, Dainty_Angel, All chickens Enemies Shadowed_Burn Era 1st Era Halo About One of the founding players of Stairway To Heven, Origin point of its name and Constructor of most of its Buildings During the Era of Origin Award show he won the "Best Build" award [by one vote] for his Cathedral Author of:  for the lower platform [lower heven] common dorm and healer area general storage und builder hut tree farm the stairway the "egginator" for the upper heven [upper heven] cathedral forge the "liblary" [loblary] unfinished player housing healer house restaurant History Gallery inside of the Cathedral Waking_Horizon Recognized by their fox mask.

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. Around session 14, he announced via signs that he wasn't gonna be as online as he was, but still remained at stairway. Gallery Metro City Players from Metro City. Aerial_Wind Aerial_Wind was a builder from Metrocity in the first Era of Civilization. Player Info Role Builder Affiliations Metro City Friends Serene_Petal, Starlit_Crown, Puffer_Fish, Hazy_Sunset, Organic_Program, Jazzed_Motif, Tangled_Echo (Willow) Enemies Lazy_Creature (depending on the day) Era 1st Era I just realised it needs to be taller. About Aerial_Wind was a builder from Metro City in the first Era of Civilization. While not particularly talented in the ways of building complex, nice-looking structures, he was the main player in charge of erecting the walls around Metro City and was the inventor of the wall's 'anti-spider' innovations involving placing two layers of stone brick walls and one layer of full blocks atop a pre-existing wall. History Aerial_Wind spawned in the vast tundras of Era 1 before soon forming an alliance with Serene_Petal. Roughly an hour and a half into session 1, Hazy_Sunset would also join the squad. The three would travel together, eventually landing in a Cherry Blossom Biome. Towards the end of Session 1, Hazy_Sunset would find what is now known Metro City. In session 2, the three players would travel to and settle down in Metro City. It was then that Aerial_Wind began to gain Builder experience, crafting and placing copius amounts of stone bricks to secure the Metro City Territory from mobs. Prior to this he was classless, frequently death resetting to save on resources. After this point, Aerial would not die again until the last 5 minutes of Session 20 where he would be knocked off a Helicopter to his death by a phantom whilst screenshots were being taken of the group. Aerial's would spend most sessions was to crafting and placing stone bricks for the underground layer and walls. Outside of this, his main building contributions were the city gates, tourist accomodation and assisting with the making of the civilization's storage location alongside Serene_Petal. In session 16, he attended the wedding at the Stairway to Heaven Cathedral. After the ceremony he began getting attacked by an invisible force who was later found out to be Lazy_Creature. He continued to be pestered relentlessly by Lazy to the point where his armor and shield broke. Out of frustration, he logged off amidst the combat timer leading some players to believe he had died. A conflict ticket was filed against Lazy_Creature but was ultimately denied (BOO!). Lazy would eventually stop, but tensions between the two players persisted.

About Cursed_Echo (Cursed for short) was a builder who helped Metro City then eventually built their own house and gazebo, settling down and not doing much besides getting married and making a home. The fact she was mostly silent meant that she heard a lot, mostly rumors and conversations of issues brewing in other areas. She concluded Metro was the safest and best place for her. After getting married, Cursed_Echo became Cursed_Willow and let Tangled_Echo, formerly Tangled_Willow, move in with them. After sending their fiancée and eventually husband on random missions to the nether and the far borders, Cursed finally achieved their dream of having all the blue orchids and eye blossoms they wanted. They only finally left Metro on the last day to meet up with friends and explore the festivities. A classic homebody. History Cursed_Echo was very lost when they joined session 5 and ended up being directed towards safety. They settled down inside the walls and helped lay out the protective layer under Metro City, and eventually the very dirt covering that foundation. A person who eventually gains a dual citizenship stopped by asking for blue flowers. When he next visited, Cursed gave him the flowers and they started talking, they joked and Cursed ended up asking for an Orchid if he found it on his journey, later she said she'd even marry him if he found one. Cursed continued on, building their house. He returned empty-handed and she asked for more impossible flowers. He returned with an eye blossom and she agreed to marry him (since the orchid was too hard for him). She then sent him for supplies from the nether and pale forest, and she used them to finish the house and gazebo, almost all the blocks used for the gazebo were brought by him. Cursed then married him and continued making some stone bricks and spying on peoples conversations. She spent the rest of her days wandering around and gossiping with her husband.

About Tangled_Willow, usually called Tangled by his friends, he was a Miner and an all around friendly face. Having not just the audacity to forgo joining the initial civilization, NPC, who had tried to help him in his quest to find a home civilization, but also declaring and successfully achieving duel citizenship in both Metro City and Stairway to Heaven. Many such individuals sought him out for conversations and mining parties, along with general shenanigans. He, however, with his quick mind and charming demeanor was no match for the endearing antics of the builder, Cursed_Echo. In his attempts to woo her, she would send him on extensive and death-defying journeys, which would result, to his delight, in success. She would allow him to marry her, building a Gazebo from the many blocks he collected on these journeys, exchanging names and becoming Tangled_Echo and Cursed_Willow. They would spend their last few sessions basking in a job well done, and would write out this finale chapter at home with their spouse, enjoying one final sunset. A classic Lover Boy <3 History A completely new and fresh face to Civilization Events and having joined during Session 5, the first session of the second weekend, this player was completely at odds with the environment around them. That is to say, he was about as fresh as a daisy, and completely clueless. He joined session 5 and was whisked away towards NPC, whom he had found inhospitable, for although he had been indecisive in joining for the simple fact he knew nothing and wanted to further explore first, they had given him armor and insisted to him that he had to take a role there. He fled from the civilization having felt pressured, ending up on the doorstep of Podzil, but alas, they were quite full and he felt he would be lost in the shuffle. Finally after crossing the long night bridge to Stairway to Heaven, he found a bustling sky town that felt, homey. He would spend his first nights and session there, becoming a miner and learning some tricks of the trade, like One Good, One Bad from the civ's leader Dreaded_Dust. Upon closer examination of the land, since he required foresight to mark good mining outposts, he spotted the closely neighboring city of Metro City, and inquiring further heard that they were lacking certain resources. Sensing a trade deal in the works, and wanting to make a name for himself, he ventured toward the city with high hopes. While much trade was not truly established, instead with him becoming a large supplier of iron for both nations when available, he had found a secondary home, as the citizens there had just freshly cleared land and were looking to make houses there. He had been asked if he would like to join their small group to which he countered with an offer to make him a citizen of both Civilizations, while nobody ever directly said yes, there was no pushback and both communities seemed to like him well enough that it just became common fact. He would continue to travel between both lands regardless of dangers like nighttime or mobs, often making dead sprints with zero armor during these to and from excursions. He would eventually settle back into Metro City as his Primary Residence instead of Stairway to Heaven after a lava incident which had killed one of their blacksmiths, which greatly reduced the time in which he could acquire new tools and repairs, which greatly annoyed him. However, the shift was a welcome boon to his antics, as he had been courting and offering small trinkets to the builder lady known as Cursed_Willow. He had inquired with her if, now that he was establishing longer stays in Metro, would be able to house himself in her delightful abode. She obliged, much to his surprise and now excitement, that she would allow him to not only stay but also room with her on a few conditions. He accepted, unknowing of the adventures that would await him. Her first task was to not only source the exotic woods of Cherry and Pale, but to find an Eyebloom. While the cherry was easy to find, the Pale Garden itself was a rumor isle found only further on past the walls of the Metro, and so he boated out in search of it, finding a small abandoned hut and sky base along with the illustrious and elusive grove! He, luckily, had found a single untouched eyebloom which had been overlooked when the grove was first found, and brought along it and moss as treasures to his roommate, who had now become his fiancée upon hearing and receiving the boons he had brought forth. For she said she could only marry that which could try to fulfill her heart's desires. The next requests however, left him feeling quite uneasy. In exchange for a small surprise he would have to go to the nether and source nether bricks, however he luckily had a small group oversee his mining and protect him from the hostile environment long enough to gather the necessary netherrack for the bricks. For his efforts he was rewarded with a view of all the trinkets he had collected and given to her, which she had kept underneath their stairway, as a momento and shrine to their love and admiration. Feeling overcome with joy and had asked if there was yet one last thing she wanted, a center piece and offering he could provide to he with which could show his feelings. She requested an impossible thing, a Blue Orchid, which having not had a swamp accessible within world border, was a truly unobtainable goal.  However all was not lost, in secret he had requested from the Gods a personal blessing, 11 Blue Orchids with which he could shower his beloved in, for the recent expansion of the border had left him able to get them, but with the fleeting time there was no way he could find and recover such a thing and make it back in time for the soon to be wedding. And so he waited... and in the 11th hour was greeted by Necra, who had heard his earnest plea and gifted him with those flowers. Of which he promptly handed over to his wife, as the final touch to the Gazebo she had constructed, one to hang in the nook behind the stairs, and 9 of which to exchange with his 9 Corniflowers, one for each of the 9 vows they had taken that day. A stunning event with which he employed the help of his dear friends to make happen, having asked a few if they could venture to the other civilizations to bring a set of messages directing them their for the wedding. The pews were filled on that day, and they received many gifts and congratulations. (although the few that had not been given directly and had made it into the wedding gift chest were unfortunately destroyed due to an oversight in how it was protected...) They would be graced with their new names Cursed_Willow and Tangled_Echo by the god named W4RPER, and would find themselves with many joys and giggles as they rode out the last few sessions in each other's company. Returning to Stairway to Heaven for the last ERA One Good and One Bad, fighting his friend Shadowed_Burn in a duel and winning (gg btw), and taking scenic pictures with Metro City occupants. They both shared one last kiss, deposited a note for those who would download the world file in chest in front of the house, and stared longingly for the last time as the world of the Era of Origins closed it's eyes for the last time, and the sun set upon their final night. A fitting end for a story of love, silly quests, and comradery among friends and loved ones. Thank you for reading, and thank you for being my first Civilization Event. <3  Gallery (Found some, gotta compile a few into what I wanna add tho still, should be up this week fr this time) Podzil Players from Podzil. Cinder_Kindle Builder who pretty much did nothing but build and get involved in stuff she did not want to be involved in. Player Info Role Builder Affiliations Podzil Friends Cushioned_Velvet, Final_World, Limitless_Zenith Enemies Soft_Serenity, Molten_Sun Era 1st Era I'll make sure Podzil is the most beautiful civ. About Cinder_Kindle was one of the main builders of Podzil, having built the three townhouses later known as the Hoptal, Libary and Buider areas, as well as finishing Mini Paul where Cinder_Ignite had left it off, building Podzil's Metro Station, the west wall, the Mangrove building, the park behind the townhouses and its surroundings, and the plaza right off the Metro Station. She intended to make Podzil the most beautiful civ and had more planned but due to external circumstances and lack of support within the civ she wasn't able to fully realize her vision. She would describe herself as quite patriotic, so when Soft_Serenity and Molten_Sun betrayed everyone she was particularly angry at them for tainting Podzil's name and making it's population quit and break off. Even after everything that happened she was still proud to be Podzilian right until the end. History Cinder_Kindle joined the Era on Session 5, she stumbled upon Aerial_Twist who lead her and another new member to Podzil, claiming they were the richest. Upon getting there Cinder saw quite a few familiar faces that compelled her to stay, some of those being Molten_Sun and Soft_Serenity. She had to become a miner due to necessity and spent her first few session digging a basement for Molten_Sun's Fort Podzil, which was meant to be the final base Podzil would settle on. Meanwhile Cinder was aching to be a builder, so right after she died she took the opportunity and immediately started grinding Builder xp. Unfortunately she was a bit frustrated for a bit, since Molten had insisted on building the Fort all alone, and the Fort was meant to have everything, so she had nothing to build for a while. And while all this was happening Cinder ended up overhearing Molten having a conversation with Aerial_Twist and Ending_Void, the civs only two guardsmen at the time. They were conspiring against Final_Void, the civ manager. Molten said he didn't like Final's little "regime" and that since he had built a spider farm for the guardsmen that then they should just do as he said. Cinder immediately snitched on him. He told Final_Void as soon as she could, and later on Molten_Beacon, the second in command, just so he would know. Cinder very much respected Molten as a builder, as they had worked closely together in the past, but she didn't agree to many things he did or said, leading to clashes between them.  Things were calm for a bit. Cinder finally started building once she offered to make individual houses for everyone in the civ, so she started making her townhouses, which she built as apartments in mind. But some time had passed and Molten hadn't finished the Fort yet, so despite being a contender for the richest civ, they still lived in a dirt skybase. To remedy this Final approached Cinder and decided that the townhouses would server as different stations, giving them the purpose they have today. After finishing the townhouses she worked on the Metro Station, which stayed as a work in progress almost until the end of the Era due to Metrocity's struggles to get the tunnel and the rails done. She also finished the first floor of Mini Paul, a corner building that Cinder_Ignite, another builder, had started, and that served as the Blacksmith area. Cinder would work on the second and third floors little by little along the rest of the Era. By this point Molten had finished his Fort, which was utilized as a storage building, bedroom and meeting room, which meant everyone had finally moved out of the skybase. There were a few security problems specially now that the City was full of people and not just two or three builders working at night, so the next thing she tackled was reinforcing and build a wall on the west side of the base, where there was a forest. Cinder hoped that by working with other builders the wall would be done really quickly, but unfortunately for her at this point Molten and Ignite were logging on less often. Even after Final_Void became a builder after the Bungee Jumping Incident they had mostly been working with Nautical_Stream, the miner, on making the mountain next door flat and safe for a later event known as the Carnaval. Cinder locked in and finished the wall by herself, as well as making a purely decorative mangrove building to help the back view of the base. She started working on the back garden, finished Mini Paul and added a fire escape on it's back when the metagaming rule was lifted. The next day would unfortunately be her last, missing the last two session due to life. So she locked in again and started working really hard to polish all the details. She finished the back of the buildings, made a plaza on the blank part of the base (where she had planed to maybe building something last minute, or at least leave it to Final in case he wanted to do something there), she tried to finish as most of the canal as she could, or at least make it look decent, and patched a few holes here and there. She ended up having a lot of time to spare, so she decided to release an early copy of the first book of her upcoming duology named "We have reputations (we keep it secret)", the in-game book being titled "Reputations" due to character limits. She left the book in the Librarian's apartment so it could be copied and shared with the world while she was gone, but unfortunately she was told by the time the librarian went to get it it was gone. She ended up quitting early due to her teammates betrayal. Previously she had heard accusations from NPC claiming that Soft_Serenity had pots to kill them, Cinder brushed them off since she knew Serenity enjoyed PvP. But then news that Serenity had killed a few people arrived, and Molten showed up with her, both in full netherite. They were trying to ignite conflict between NPC and Podzil. Cinder disagreed and in response Molten said "You don't agree with me? Fight me", Cinder laughed it off, half serious, and called him a dictator. Then, on the next session, Final opened a conflict ticket. Cinder still isn't quite sure what happened, since she was so focused on getting building stuff done. Final did not include her in the ticket since she wouldn't be there the next day, making her think the ticket would be for the next day. Then, a little bit later Molten and Serenity appeared, killing pretty much everyone. Cinder was sure she would die, she thought they were breaking the rules and killing a bunch of people for the fun of it, not knowing that everything that happened was within the rules. She quickly threw an Invis pot she had and hid. Only she and Nautical survived, not having been included in the ticket. Final was emotionally defeated, understandably. They ended up quitting as well as a few other people. In the end NPC came and killed both Serenity and Molten, but the damaged had already been done. As well as killing everyone Serenity attempted to burn down the city (unsuccessfully) and destroyed the wheat field, making Waking_Night, the farmer (who had also survived), quit as well. At that point any respect Cinder had for Serenity had vanished, specially after seeing how childish she was being.  Cinder continued to work despite everything that happened. But ended up quitting the game thirty minutes early due to the misery that was being pretty much all alone in the city. She felt like all the effort she had put in towards making Podzil a great civ had been thrown away by two individuals ruining the fun of everyone else. Despite all this, if you were to ask her to this day she would still proudly say she is Podzilian. Gallery Cinder_Kindle's first screenshot.

Though nothing came of this for several sessions, in the late sessions, Molten_Sun and Soft_Serenity would stage attacks across the world and utilize the nether's lack of restrictions to attack members of NPC. This would result in their exile from Podzil.  Gallery Put pictures of this player here Nautical_Stream Often regarded as the best miner in the server.

Player Info Role Healer Affiliations Podzil Friends Molten_Sun , Aerial_Twist Enemies Stairway To Heaven Era 1st Era "I hate poor people!!” About Soft_Serenity was the very egotistical healer of Podzil. Mainly because she wanted to become the best healer in the whole Era. She resided in Podzil's Hoptal which was also her home. History Soft began this era by travelling the ocean with another player named Nautical_Stream. After they had explored this ocean they proceeded to approach a group of people spotted near the coast, which would soon be named Podzil. She would end up death resetting for the first 2 sessions to collect loot from 3 mob spawners from the caves beneath the sky-base where they resided. After gaining the loot, she then proceeded to ask the only blacksmith at the time, Final_Void to create a nether portal with a nearby lava pool. Soft would proceed to death reset until the nether was safe. This gave Podzil a huge lead in resources needed to create potions. After securing the nether, Soft would start levelling healer and ended up putting the whole of Podzil into a food shortage accidentally with how fast she was levelling. Eventually she reached level 5 after around 4 sessions. By session 10 she would be in fully enchanted diamond armor.  After being geared she thought of doing something new. instead of being in the nether to build, she would instead netherite mine. This continued for awhile and ended up getting most of Podzil’s netherite supply. This only grew her ego even more. By session 16, she had almost full netherite and a lust for blood. So she schemed a plan with civ-mate Molten_Sun. They were to lure unsuspecting players from NPC into the nether, where the laws of the Era ceased to exist, to kill them. Their plan was to start a world war. This started by killing poor Sunlit_Frog of NPC which alerted the whole nation into a state of panic. This lead some high ranking players from NPC to investigate, but was called off due to the risk of being in the nether. After hiding in the nether for a good amount of time, a skilled fighter of NPC, Drowned_Angel found her. This would eventually lead into a grueling fight with Soft coming out on top. Drowned feeling defeated begged for mercy and mercy was given. But not for free. After returning from the fight she gave her accomplice, Molten_Sun the netherite armour once owned by Drowned. Returning to Podzil they were ridiculed and eventually jumped, where they escaped and a fight between the 2 and Podzilites, Once civmates and friends now fighting over the enterance to Stairway to Heaven. Soft and Molten eventually held them off but not with ease.  They then proceeded to launch a counter attack at Podzil, which seemed successful at first but little did Soft know the roaring march of NPC’s finest soldiers were on their way as they fought. This lead to both Soft’s and Molten’s death in the tunnel of Metro.  Nothing much happened after this, Soft got full netherite back and stole from NPC, but they couldn’t do anything about it.

Enemies None (Anyone who touches the cows). Era 1st Era               Don't touch my cows or else my calculations will be wrong. About Waking_Night was a very serious farmer, who after landing in Podzil, rarely left. She first left Podzil for Final_Void's wedding, and then for Cursed_Echo's wedding. Waking_Night loved her cows, constantly keeping the cycle of life and death going within Podzil. She calculated how much to feed them, when to feed them, and even how to best kill them so that their numbers remained roughly the same. When she did venture out she met and made friends, however, none could compare to her beloved cows (Even if she killed them).  Waking_Night won an award for the least amounts of deaths calculated by playtime!

Eventually they respawned and met a group of people. They eventually ran low on food so Waking_Night went to go looking for food, when they returned with food their group had left. Fortunately, they found a group who who claimed to be their old group, after following them back to their base, Waking_Night soon realized they didn't recognize anyone and thought that maybe this group had lied and kidnapped them. Waking_Night then left and tried to escape the monsters in a boat and found a person, Waking_Night asked where they came from and went with them to their Nation. Upon arriving, Waking_Night told Final_Void, now Final_World, that they would probably leave since she was just looking for her group. He said it was fine and gave her a bed and food, Waking_Night didn't have a class at the time but he asked what she'd like to do and Waking_Night said farming, and Final_World showed her a person who would help them level up and tell them how the farmer class worked. This was the start of Waking_Nights career. The next day, Waking_Night got a tour, and after farming for a bit, they found it annoying and switched to grass breaking, since it was faster to level up. At night, Waking_Night returned to Podzil. Eventually, she moved onto working in the wheat field along with her grass punching. After a few days she reached level 4 and started the sugar cane farm and soon became the main/head farmer. Waking_Night then realized that people were only eating berries and she expanded the cow farm to get the people steak. One day, another farmer came in and they expanded it even further. The cow business was booming. Eventually, they expanded the normal farm and gain beetroots and carrots. Waking_Night slowly became the only farmer, no one bothered their cows. Eventually, a god of the server came by and said the cows had to die, she killed half of them. Unfortunately, more died when they had to transfer down to the ground, though she soon bred more cows. Every time she did she used a stack and 48 wheat, she even calculated the math, the perfect amount of kills and babies to sustain the amount, Waking_Night used to time it so that every five minutes they could kill the cows. She even eventually got a looting 3 sword so that no one else had touch her cows, except for her. Waking_Night never gave up looking for her first group, but she ended up liking Podzil more, an old member of her group found her in Podzil and asked if she would go with them. Waking_Night refused, she liked Podzil more now. Gallery   NPC Players from NPC. Sunlit_Frog Tell us about this player. Player Info Role Healer Affiliations NPC Friends Who are the player's friends?

Player Info Role Restaurant Owner + Administrator Affiliations Yummy cheeses Friends Everyone Enemies Moonlit_Storm Era 1st Era Where is the cheese About This player is a mythical sighting. You will see him once per 2 sessions or never at all. He is also called Necrat because he became a rat sized person for no reason in the later sessions (After session 15 or so on). History The first emergence of Organic_Program was in Metro City, in order to help a new player. The second one was in Stairway to Heaven, to prevent Dreaded_Dust from breaking any rules.   Organic_Program was one of the rarer sights in Era 1, with their presence most felt when they ran their own restaurant called ‘Organic Canteen’, and when they attended both weddings. The most obvious proof they left was a signed book called the ‘Revelation’ to the Stairway to Heaven citizens. Once the metagaming sessions started, Organic_Program and Endless_Breeze would start a rat epidemic, rummaging through chests in order to find cheese. Fun Facts: Organic_Program would be the only god that would be killed by players 3 times!  Also the god that has the least amount of flying distance compared to every other god.
