Verda

The Greenmarsh
Main article: Greenmarsh



A day after Civclassic 2.0 was launched, Magmus sailed down a river until she eventually found a small islet in a lake. She began constructing a tower house upon this island, naming it the Crowsroost, and by the end of the day had finished it. She also began cultivating the lands on the shores of the lake for food, and began constructing a boardwalk on the eastern shores of the lake, and began constructing the temple known as the Oaken Hall of Light. She dubbed the swampy landmass on the eastern side of the lake the Greenmarsh, and the lightly forested area to the west the Greenlands, and declared herself Lady of the Greenmarsh, laying claim to the region along with a small part of the Greenlands. A group of players settled in the southern Greenlands, known as Versailles, or the "Turtle Fuckers". The mountains south of the Greenmarsh were claimed by Gingechris, founding the city of Pinnacle. Eventually, Knight_Jacob and his sister settled in the Greenmarsh, joining the nation as it's first subjects. Unfortunately, this growth attracted raiders, and the Crowsroost Tower was looted many times.

The Foundation of Verda and Golden Age
Magmus was not satisfied with just being lady of the Greenmarsh, and so when she heard that the lands of the "Turtle Fuckers" had gone inactive, she decided to annex them, along with Pinnacle, forming the Kingdom of Verda. Crowsroost and Pinnacle both grew at a steady pace, with many people joining them. However, raids began to get more organised and severe, as dangerous and heavily armed players believed to be hackers easily butchered the poorly armed and unskilled Verdans. Verda relied on foreign PvPers to fight off these attackers.

Raider Occupation of Crowsroost and Decline
On the 25th of July, three raiders named bananaAndRice, NEPTHIS_ZERO, and Sethrus attacked Crowsroost, pearling everybody who entered the city and imprisoning them in their vault. Danielx9x and John3112 tried to fight them and break the vault, but were driven off, claiming that they were hacking, although many disagreed. Later, pvpers from Lexington arrived but left after communication errors prevented them from finding and breaking the vault. The Verdans remained imprisoned in the vault, with everyone else taking refuge in Pinnacle. After a few days, the raiders released everyone save for Magmus, who remained imprisoned. The bargainings and deceit of Neptun3 eventually got her freed, and the raiders vanished, but the damage had already had been done, with many players leaving for different towns or disappearing entirely. While Verda soon after annexed the former lands of Craiggrad, Polaris and Normandy, but Verda soon entered a steep decline. Magmus left to go on holiday for more than a week, and soon many major citizens left as the summer holidays drew to a close. Soon Magmus was the only active Verdan left, and was told that Verda would never become active again. She decided to move to a more active town, the city of Threepton in Provincia.
