On the 13th of November, 2022 a group of Griffinians returned to the server to reestablish the Kingdom and continue working on their projects they had left a couple months prior. Following this progress quickly started across the nation on many different projects including the reestablishment of Adria, Griffin's capital. Adria quickly began to grow with many new buildings being added including the Plaza being completed on November 18th, the railstation on November 30th and Christmas decorations on December 4th. Progress continued through December with the city docks growing and the construction of Griffins flagship, the RGS Fish. Entering January Griffin sought to overhaul their Royal Road Network that ran throughout the nation, this included an iceroad running throughout the nation with wayshrines at towns to allow entrance and an overhaul of the overground road network. In Febuary focus was returned to Adria and saw the construction of the Royal Palace of Adria and the Tower of St. Barbas overlooking the city. In March vast fields of flowers and crops were planted around ancient ruins throughout Griffin's Crownlands. Griffin also celebrated its 1 year founding anniversary on the 29th of March, 2023. April saw Adria practically double in size including many new houses and the Grand Temple of Adria, the official home of Melonism on [[CivMC]].

May saw many small scale projects through out the kingdom with a new bridge across the River Trelli to connect the Griffin and Pavian road networks up together. In late may, the duchies of Cucurbits and Wynford were officially disbanded due to inactivity and reassorbed back into the Crownlands. Sealeo, a new duchy under the newly appointed Duke [[Cosbin]] was created along the northern coast, this duchy rapidly expanded over the next month into Griffins second biggest town. June saw the completion of the eastern waterfront in Adria and the completion of Sealeo Town and Castle. July and August saw one the biggest terraforming projects in the servers history with an entirely custom mountain constructed overlooking Adria. Mt. Rhena is the highest peak in Griffin and provides views over both the city of Adria and the sprawling fields of the Crownlands. After the completion of Mt. Rhena, City Walls were constructed running along the entirety of the city limits of Adria alongside 3 main gatehouses as entrances to the city. In late September, the market square in Adria was finished opening up Griffin to foreign businesses alongside local ones. Griffin General Goods was officially opened alongside the completion of the market square providing produce that Griffin produces from its farms in Wynford, alongside XP produced from the same farms. Woolsworth, a shop ran by the Duke of Sealeo, [[Cosbin]] was also opened alongside a Bakery ran by [[Seekinq]].
