Bryn: Difference between revisions

'''Bryn''' (also referred to as the '''"Free City of Bryn"''') iswas a bustling modern suburbia-like town located in the ([[+,- (Civcraft 2.0)|+,-]]) quadrant of [[CivCraft 2.0|Civcraft 2.0]], founded collectively by [[PointyBagels]], [[MrGerbic]], [[tehaleks]], [[FriedrichHayek]], [[KillYourFaceGo]], [[LowlyPeon]], and [[Weasey]]. Houses arewere typically grandiose in nature, and great care iswas taken of the large trees in the area. It was informally a part of the [[True Neutral League]], and whileafter it has since left the League, Bryn still considersconsidered its neighbors close friends and trading partners. Recently, Bryn has been a part of the [[North Eastern Alliance]].

Bryn iswas home to the headquarters of the [[International Infrastructure Consortium]], [[The Global Historical Conservation Society]], and the [[Ad Astra Trading Corporation]].

It iswas the core city of the [[Bryn Metropolitan Area]].

After the [[CivCraft 1.0|Civcraft 1.0]] map files were leaked and the server moved to [[Civcraft 2.0]], many residents of 1.0’s [[Bay City]] decided to form Bryn. In the first weeks of the server, the founders of Bryn lived with the founders of [[Fellowship]] and [[Aurora (Civcraft 2.0)|Aurora]] in the True Neutral League temporary camp, also known as “Camp Beige”. Bryn’s location was chosen due to the presence of a nearby diamond vein in the mountains to the north. After deciding on a location, the founders quickly began working on large farms, highways, roads, and their houses, as well as public works projects.

The Mirango Incident was the first major conflict in Bryn's history, regarding settlers on the island from Aurora.<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueNeutralLeague/comments/1h3069/the_mirango_incident/</ref><ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueNeutralLeague/comments/1h3ace/regarding_bryn_and_the_mirango_cooperative/</ref><ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1h3fbh/regarding_bryn_and_the_mirango_cooperative_xpost/</ref> While it is generally agreed that Bryn handled the situation poorly by kicking the homesteaders off of the island, and for a short time pearling them, the incident was a sign of a larger trend to come. Land claims on 2.0 were much larger than in 1.0, and people were more willing to enforce them. Indeed, while Bryn still claimsclaimed the entire island, its territorial claim is nowbecame among the smallest.

Eventually, and largely due to the diplomatic efforts of [[Sami Ghani]], relations between Bryn and Aurora were repaired, and it was not long before the two cities were working together once again.<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueNeutralLeague/comments/1hgipp/brynites_and_agorans_working_together_to_remove/ </ref>

Bryn sharesshared a relatively close location in the (+,-) with Aurora, Fellowship and the [[Grundeswald|Grundeswald Freestate]] though travel to these cities is still no small task. Notable landmarks in Bryn includeincluded, Bryn Farmers' Market, Ludwig von Mises Station, the Bryn Hotel, Monument Aux Fondateurs de Notre Ville, and individual homes of the city's residents, most of which are verywere well constructed and beautiful.

Bryn iswas economically self-sustaining and benefitsbenefited largely from being a net exporter of luxury goods such as gold, XP and enchanted diamond items. Its residents arewere mostly upper-middle-class, with few falling below the poverty line.

Shortly after it's revival, Bryn's economy relied exclusively on Fellowship until it's trading became diversified with more community members becoming active producers.
