History of Yoahtl

Pre-CivClassics
The origin of Yoahtl lies shrouded mostly in myth, legend, and non-living memory. Quauhtli_Mia has recorded most of Yoahtl's history into a series of volumes ingame. For a brief background here: Yoahtl divides its history into a series of 'Eras', each with their own feeling and style and population. There have been nearly a dozen of these, but for our purposes there have been four in the Civ server genre:

 The Era of Resettlement  was marked by the end of Meloncraft and the exodus of many Yoahtlans to Civcraft 2.0. This era began in Meloncraft and was characterized by a sense of being lost and purposeless. The community struggled to survive and adapt to the new environment of Civcraft. This era came to an end with the coming of the Goodspringers and St_Leibowitz, the future Alcuahtl, who took a look at Yoahtl's governing traditions and found them lacking.

 The Era of Dissent  was the era of Yoahtl's many attempts at a constitution and governmental reform. It was an era formed out of the necessity of change to the community that came from being on a new server. However, the incongruity between the attempted reforms and Yoahtl's traditions led to a period of intense disorganization and power struggles, allowing proliferation of selfish interests. Faced with the ongoing infighting and ineffective governance brought on by corruption and poor governmental reforms, the community split and shattered, leaving Yoahtl nearly dead. During the worst of these times, Yoahtl consisted of Quauhtli_Mia, Klasikrok, WackyAki, And St. Leibowitz.

 The Era of Reclamation  is marked by the return to traditions and a more informal governing style and focus on community rather than politics. This era began after the arrival of Yoahtl to its current home. This era also is marked with the removal of redundant or useless laws and regulation and ensuring that those in power make rules to serve the populace and build community rather than gaining power. This era has come of age during the Somber War, but ended with the Lex vault break and the formation of SATO.

 The Era of Resurgence  has yet to be defined, because we're currently in it.
