The High Kingdom of Griffin, simply known as Griffin, Is a small kingdom on the western shores of the Lyrean Sea. They are known as a casual building focused nation. Griffin values neutrality and follows Melonism as its religion.

History

Early Griffin History

On the 29th of March, 2022 the Kingdom of Wyvern and the Imperial Kingdom of Fish reformed into the High Kingdom of Griffin, adopting it's new constitution with Seekinq as its High King and Melonism as its state religion. When the server launched early Griffinian settlers found themselves on the shores of the Medi Sea, however after finding most of the land already settled by other groups they travelled north after hearing about some unclaimed land from Pavia. On the 7th of June, 2022 Griffin announced the borders of their Kingdom in the northeast. This was followed by rapid development across the nation including vast farms, roads and houses. On the eastern coastline Adria, Griffin's capital was founded. Progress continued until around late July, when many Griffin citizens began to lose interest in the server and began to move onto different things.

Inactivity Period

From late July until early November Griffin remained largely dormant and progress slowed across the nation with many things falling into a state of decay. On the 5th of August, 2022 the Banana Republic, a group of players within eastern Griffin splits from the kingdom to form their own republic, Griffin's land east of the Dragonwing Mountains were granted to them. While the rest of the server was engaged in war, Griffin remained largely inactive until a group of Griffinians returned to the server in early November.

New Golden Age

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.
