== Devoted ==
I’m going to call this Devoted – there were previous iterations of Devoted but they were always in the shadow of civcraft. So a disclaimer – I’m not too clear on Devoted’s early history –
The only nation from Civcraft to make its way to Devoted unchanged was Volterra. There was also a watered down version of Aegis merged with some members of Crocodile Island (HCF group in 3.0) led by Coni_S2 called Veritas – but importantly the old leadership was absent.
The traditional Civcraft World Police were almost completely absent and a new generation arose towards the end of the first World War, led by Dollaz from the town and Vault called Ruin. Importantly almost all the hard learnt lessons from Civcraft 2.0 on how to attack vaults had been forgotten - or rather never learnt due to most of the old players quitting during Civcraft 3.0, if not before.
=== Devoted World War 1 - The HCF Strike Back ===
To set the scene there were two main opposing powers. The precursors to the Devoted World Police, a group made up of mostly players from Uguu, Irithyl (Volterra)
The war was started when Uguu were caught illegaly snitching Veritas. The motivation for this was that it was strongly suspected that Veritas was aiding the raiding group mentioned earlier. Uguu requested Irithyl's aid in the war which was given. Whilst the war was started by Uguu it was later confirmed by Coni that Veritas were about one day from attacking Uguu themselves.
The war was relatively short and someone else will have to explain the motives (I vaguely recall it being a pre-emptive move to stamp out the shitter/HCF types but I may be wrong) and it seemed like the World Police were going to win having dealt a not quite decisive blow to Veritas. Unfortunately the curse of Vault Ground attacks struck. Thinking victory was assured the World Police attacked the Veritas vault and bunker complex at ground level and somehow got inside the tunnels. These tunnels used ladders to get to different floors and it is here the World Police lost the war. In this version of minecraft players could get stuck on ladders, unable to go down if someone was below them. Somehow through a mix of getting stuck on ladders and being inside the enemy bunker complex the majority of World Police fighters were pearled, ending the war. Veritas had won.▼
This post was made by Coni when Poortea was caught in Veritas lands (probably snitching):

▲The war was relatively short
A great many of key Irithyl and Uguu players were pearled with no escape in sight. As a result Uguu ceased to be and never recovered. A large enough portion of Irithyl's population survived allowing it to continue on despite many of it's main pvp'ers being pearled.
Line 644 ⟶ 653:
A short time after the end of the first war, the leader of Veritas, Coni_S2 realised she was playing with ‘bad’ people. Someone closer to the events will have to provide a full breakdown of why (but these players were and are established shitters). Working with Dollaz, one of the World Police who hadn’t been pearled in the previous debacle, she coordinated the release of most of the World Police fighters and at the same time a new World Police vault was constructed. This is what would later become the Ruin vault (the name came from me, I don’t recall how exactly – possibly due to me owning the alt ‘Ruin’). Notably a great deal of Irithyl wealth was used in its construction.
Soon after people were freed from the Veritas vault and before the Ruin vault could be complicated there was a skirmish between John Fairfax and Ez2 crew. John Fairfax was pearled and moved to the Ruin vault - thus revealing its location.
The other members of Veritas were furious at Coni’s betrayal and decided to attack the Ruin vault. I was asked to help lead the defence of the vault by Dollaz. Vaults were very weak in Devoted – at this stage there were no bastions and obsidian only reinforcements that were expensive enough to limit their use to the vault proper – meaning very weak ‘glass’ block type rings or walls. In the case of the Ruin Vault there was a singular lantern wall with wooden doors in an undug vault room. The Veritas forces attacked through most of the day, 1 or two at a time early in the morning and then in full force later in the day. This video records the defence in full, starting with Jarl Heisenbergs solo attempts in the morning (Jimmy Pavilion) and then the larger attackers later in the evening.▼
