GONDOLIN IN CIVCRAFT 2.0
A few weeks before the first iteration of Civcraft ended, the leaders of Gondolin resolved to build the greatest city the server had ever seen: Minas Minas. Based on such Tolkienian cities as Minas Tirith, Erebor, and Rivendell, it was to serve as the new capital of Gondolin.

However, with the untimely end of Civcraft 1.0 came a chance for a clean slate. As soon as the new map started, anyone who could get through the queue began searching the -,- quadrant for a suitable (world-border plains biome) location for the city (and the Metropolis region which was to encompass it). One was soon found, centered on -2917, -14714, and construction began.

As of 8/7/13, the keep is still being constructed and the outer wall has not been begun, but the copious space within the city limits has sprung to life, with many a city district already filled with permanent buildings. Construction continues daily.

GONDOLIN IN CIVCRAFT 1.0
Gondolin is a federal monarchy with a minarchist-capitalist ideology based on the NAP and voluntary association. Berge403 is the King, and Dominisi the Hand of the King. Other nobles oversee individual territories. The City of Gondolin, founded by WildWeazel in the server's first month, is the official capital and origin of the monarchy, however most activity is now centered on Aristopolis. Several territories, some of which are almost entirely autonomous, have joined the kingdom:


 * Amazonia (-8800, -4400)
 * Aristopolis (-9000, -4400)
 * Gondolin (-9000, -2200) (inactive)
 * Lexington (+,+)
 * Mithgond Abbey (-5100, -3600) (destroyed)
 * Nightingsgale (-9200, -4400)
 * Snjorlendir (-9000, -4800)
 * Sentinel (military HQ)
 * SPQR (-10k, -10k)
