History of Yoahtl: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

 

 

 

In other parts of the server, people in awe of the new Wayon-Dot sought to create empires of their own. A Japanese-inspired empire formed the northern islands, Roman and Spanish/Portuguese to the east. A Lord of the Rings empire almost formed in the west but was consumed by the tribal ways. In the east, The Empire of Tordesillias was an empire created by hard minds with hard intentions. Their ambition was only matched by their ferocity and greed. They sought to conquer entire kingdoms and sections of continents rather than trying to unite them. Despite this, the people of Wayon-Dot sat careless and happy on their island, feeling safe under Eoahtl and Wichita.

“Soon the Torde would consume the entirety of their continent with fire and diamond. They would then look to the west and see an opportunity for 'Fun' and they would invade the island of Huron. The invasion itself was so well-planned and quick that the people were not able to form a proper army or counter-attack. The cities of Wayon-Dot were laid to waste by the Torde invaders. Wayon-Dot was no more. Tordesillias continued to expand across the map to the point that they ruled it all. Despite this, Eoahtl, Wichita, and a war party of eight men managed to hide and plan. They had avoided being killed during the invasion and sought vengeance against the Torde. Sadly they were under equipped and demoralized by the shock of the attack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wichita would lead his small group of Yoahtlan across these small servers, changing as each server died. But after each passing server, Yoahtl grew smaller and smaller. These were the nomadic times of Yoahtl and throughout their travels, Wichita imbued his spiritualism upon the people and being of Yoahtl. Wichita believed that Spiritualism and Science were the same in many aspects. To claim that both concepts were made for the same reason; to find truth and unlock its secrets to better mankind. It was from there Yoahtl became more into finding truth from within themselves whilst taking inspiration from their surroundings.

It was at this time the first Seminars would be held. Named after the Seminars and Seminaries given in Catholicism, these were made for debate and discussion between Yoahtlan. At this time no outside communication was used in Yoahtl. Yoahtl also became known for its affinity for universal acceptance. Anyone was accepted no matter belief or identity. Wichita's reign as Yoahtl's second chieftain was overall one of enlightenment and cultural growth rather than political growth or expansion.

 

Quauhtli continued as Wichita had before him; carrying Yoahtl from server to server as needed. Because of how important Wichita was to Quauhtli, Quauhtli vowed to keep Yoahtl alive for Wichita and to uphold the values he had instilled upon the community. Quauhtli and his band of seven other Yoahtlan traveled on to the next server.

 

Quauhtli and company arrived at a small factions server by the name of “Halbyrd” and it was a very small server. The Yoahtlan traveled east until they came upon a river surrounded by a jungle. They traveled along the river until they came upon a clearing of plains between the jungle and two mountains. And it was there they set up camp. This settlement would be what was the first formal use of the Mesoamerican-influenced style of building. It was a small town with a stone stone brick pyramid dedicated to those in Xephos in the middle. And Yoahtl would prosper there for a time.

 

But despite the pleasant times, it was still a factions server. And since Yoahtl had not been on a factions server before, Yoahtl was unfamiliar with the style of play on the server and unfortunately neglected to learn more about it. Inevitably, they were attacked by men with enchanted weapons and armor. The raiders laid waste to Yoahtl as Yoahtl had very few enchanted items of their own. It would have been the end of the city had a few mods not come to their assistance. The mods flew through the sky raining arrows upon the raiders and succeeded in driving them away. The mods then bid the Yoahtlan farewell and continued about their business.

 

 

Halbyrd had also grown causing the population of Yoahtl to grow much larger and quicker than it ever had before and due to this new influx of people, the Yoahtlan culture and it’s ideals began to flourish among it’s people. These people also contributed to the Yoahtlan style of architecture and after some time the style improved and became more unique to Yoahtl. Then, for the first time since the days of Xephos, Yoahtl had more than one settlement. Civilization started spreading all across their remote island to the desert in the east and the plains to the south. The city in the desert was named Aztlan and Tikal was in the plains. Yoahtl also used this time to adopt and use the factions plugins of the server itself.

With this renaissance of the Yoahtlan practices, the Yoahtlan had stepped out of their nomadic ways. Yoahtl became much more “Civilized”. The factions plugin was used to help govern how power was distributed among the settlements and the beginnings of a government structure began to form. Yoahtl soon had a member count of around 30-40 at this time and soon became the top faction on Halbyrd. While Halbyrd was larger than it was before, it was still smaller than most other servers. This prompted the first warriors to be trained in Yoahtl.

 

These warriors were aided by the fact that Yoahtl could now mass produce enchanted diamond weapons and armor. Quauhtli allowed himself to think Yoahtl had found a home where it could continue to grow and be a meaningful community. For another month, they had fun, debated, and continued to prosper. Thus, the Yoahtlan time up to here in Halbryrd was dubbed “The Crystal Age”.

 

The time of relative peace ended when people started to see pixel art and towers being built near Tlaloc. Upon investigation they found that a new faction had sprung up in the plains west of Tlaloc. This faction called “Mylttlpny” had seized control of the western part of the island. This was the first time Yoahtl had ever encountered such a large amount of bronies, or bronies in general. Several Yoahtlan were very uncomfortable due to the massive pixel art next to Tlaloc and how close the faction was on a whole. To try to settle matters, the first diplomatic mission met with the bronies of Mylttlpny.

The two parties met in the bronies' base of Tuton. They first discussed why Mylttlpny had chosen to settle in the lands next to Yoahtl. The bronies claimed they had found the land before Yoahtl. From this point the negotiations went sour as the bronies insisted the land was theirs. This angered Yoahtl as a whole, especially Quauhtli. Yoahtl asked them to leave the island but they refused. This caused Yoahtl to declare war on Mylttlpny.

 

 

The fighting took place for about two and a half hours. It ended when Mylttlpny no longer had the resources to fight Yoahtl equally without losing too much power to their claims. This battle was dubbed “The Battle of the Horse”. After the battle, the Yoahtlan were able to claim land surrounding the Mylttlpny claims. In this land, Yoahtl constructed an obsidian wall surrounding their claims and despite the fact the brony HQ which was a floating room constructed of iron and gold blocks with a water elevator on the bottom.

 

After the war and the annexation of Tuton, Yoahtl reached new heights of wealth. So much wealth that the pyramids of Tlaloc were adorned with diamond, gold, iron, and lapis blocks in elaborate designs. It also spurred the creation of a new palace and enchanting building. This also lead to the formalizing, mapping, and naming of regions within Yoahtl's claims. All was well and peaceful for another month until a new update and new map which marked the end of the Crystal Age.

 

The sudden reset of the map lead to many players of Halybrd to leave because of all the lost progress. Many of those players were Yoahtlan. The server was different following the reset. The factions plugins were gone and it was announced that Halybrd would be converted into a zombies survival server. Zombies spawned too much for any one group to settle and it became clear Halybrd would not last. Yoahtl sought a new home as before. Quauhtli was extremely disappointed. And once more, Quauhtli and the Yoahtlan traveled to a new server.

 

 

 

The moment they made it into the Spawn-Area of this brave new world, they found themselves in a dog-eat-dog server; far more violent than what they had suspected, let alone what they had seen in Halybrd. It seemed as if the moment someone left the safe-zone of the spawn; they would instantly be hit by an arrow, no matter the distance, and die. What groupings Yoahtl had, had to muscle through the wall of death to get to a safe distance enough to set a home safely and TPA the others who had died to the new locations. Once that had been done they ventured forward for many hours, to the point it almost seemed like a day. The heading was the same as always, to the rising sun; through ocean, forest, and hill. Yoahtl would eventually hit a coast that seemed to endear widely to both sides; and boldly sailed forward through for many more hours of pure ocean. But excitement was in the air; where there should have been boredom and tiredness, there was an electricity in the air and fluttering in their bellies. Their fingers held steadily on their ‘W’ keys; staring blankly into the screen; lost in the thoughts of what was to come and to be achieved in the hearts and lands of what would soon be Yoahtl; out there somewhere.

 

This continued for a week and a half, and we slowly grew from from finding and observing those on the main continent and spawn who did not typically fought or mostly indulged in building. It was through this Yoahtl would grow to become a sprawling metropolis of comparable server iterations in the later future, and by now Yoahtl would soon become a major name on the list of top factions in EndlessCraft. EndlessCraft was a PVP-factions server, and as such ran on the factions plugin; those being noted on plugin-based notoriety based on member count, as well as rhetorical notoriety that would spread across the server; and while Yoahtl was keen on avoiding attention, it couldn't be help as their ambitions outweighed their caution. Slowly Yoahtl began to move away from it’s fear-driven caution; and more-so into it’s Halybrd moldings. As they built higher towers, greater aesthetics, and far more houses for far more people; they began to notice new houses built in various parts of the continent to which they called home.

 

After investigating the sudden new residencies popping up across the continent Yoahtl called home; they have discovered that several brand new factions have been established on said continent. Many of which had been founded by people who had friends in Yoahtl, but whom of which did not necessarily want to *live* in Ixilitlon. Many others also came from abroad from the main continent of Spawn to avoid the constant warfare and toxicity, and to be apart of Yoahtl’s dream of a peaceful and productive game-time, and like the others; did not want to live in Ixilitlon. And as Ixilitlon grew, so did the neighboring factions of the continent over the coming days and weeks. The ideals of the Huehuetlic culture quickly spread throughout the span of the continent through its new neighbors; save the aesthetics and culture of Ixtlilton. The Yoahtlan saw these new entities as opportunities rather than competition than what they had in Halybrd and they all grew close to Yoahtl and in turn; to each other. Roads were built, trade and bartering was made; and the dream Yoahtl had envisioned became closer to fruition; they were good times.

 

By then, the continent Yoahtl called home became a hub of hope; a stark contrast to what could be offered at the main continent of Spawn. And furthermore it’s more hopeful peers became envious of what Yoahtl and its neighbors can offer. Yoahtl had become once again become a major power in the eyes of the server at large and it became very hard to cloak. Each new faction within the continent held its own aesthetics, build style, and focus; but held with them the ideals of the Huehuetlico. All went well; and Quauhtli would think to the stories told by Wichita; the story of Yoahtl’s Origins and the Empire of Wayon-Dot. Quauhtli saw the opportunity to make reality a new Wayon-dot in the continent Yoahtl called home and went about asking the faction leaders of each faction in the continent; A great meeting was held atop the first pryamid of Ixtlilton. The talks began as Quauhtli explained the history of Yoahtl and its importance; and after much agreement, the final agreement came into realization as it would be agreed that all factions upon the continent would be apart of Quauhtli’s new Wayon-Dot, and so aptly named was their home continent. Made up of several bases and towns of the continent; they would defend each other and trade amongst each other with open arms knowing it will flow back to one another eventually. The second Wayon-Dot was established, and it was good.

There were many new smaller factions scattered across Wayon-Dot; Yoahtl of course being the more prominent of them. However among those outside of Ixilitlon, a particular few stood out from the rest; those of which who had carved a particular niche and style within Wayon-Dot. First being the “Assassins”, the second largest faction in Wayon-dot. The Assassins’s name was an accident, but it’s niche and way in Wayon-dot was anything but; for they grew quickly from its very conception. The houses and buildings of Assasins were completely oaken, with small exceptions of cobblestone. They lived in the southern parts of the continent along a taiga/tundra coast overlooked be great mountains and cliffs. They took focus on the ranged part of PVP; always taking part in Archery competitions as well as a “navy”. They used small wooden boats as per Minecraft would allow, but they had become good enough at archery that they could shoot a targeted boat with little miss or mistake and they were particularly potent in the water on boat. Then there were the “XPShniks”; a opportunistic and trade-enriched faction that was located further inland to beyond the mountains and hills of Assassins and a way’s away from Ixilitlon’s sands. The XPShniks; while not as numerous as Yoahtl or Assasins, held the concept of trade amongst the factions on the continent highly. It was because of this that they’d quickly become the more wealthy part of the continent. This was coupled for their focus on PVP  involving wolves and their love for creating massive structures. Their base was small; but it was made up of large circular towers that started small from the bottom, and larger the higher they became; made from stone bricks. They would scour the continent for any wolves to tame and bring them back to their towers where; whole war parties made up of 4-8 wolves led by one tamer armed with a bow and whatever the best armor and sword he/she could get. All they did was build, trade, train, and gather more wolves. The people of Wayon-Dot were happy and all those dwelled within it enjoyed a time of relative peace and harmony with each other; free from worry from the Continent of Spawn; at least for the time being.

 

 

 

 

 

 

''' 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.

== CivClassic ==

 

 

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]].

At the start of CivClassic, Yoahtl was governed by Alcuahtl St_Liebowitz (who was largely inactive), Deputy Alcuahtl Asakuun, and Quauhtli_Mia. They established the town of Axochitlan, near the southeast worldborder <ref>CCMap at {{Coord|3416|12032|728}} </ref>, a short distance from [[Laconia]].

==== The Konigsberg Intervention - March 15 to March 17th 2018 ====

Since Feathercrown's ascendance Yoahtl has had three Alcuahtls, all of whom served for long periods of time overseeing an era of political stability and relative unity. bgbba has also remained Chieftain since this time, but has never held the reigns of power again. This was the great gift of Feathercrown's leadership, wisdom, and political insight.

 

 

==== New Yoahtl City Redesign - Spring of 2019 and Summer of 2019 ====

As a final note, in August of 2019, bgbba was considered reformed by the admins and allowed to be unbanned, along with Reiko and others who were deemed to deserve a second chance due to deescalation of toxic behaviors. Public apologies were made and Yoahtl's reputation was rehabilitated. [[ComradeNick]] agreed to free bgbba and to bury the hatchet. In order to maintain the balance of power and in keeping with the deal to free bgbba with ComradeNick, Yoahtl declared official neutrality in the ongoing [[NATO-Mir War|Infinity War.]] However, times grew dark again as raiders, obby bombers, and others rampaged across the map. When Yoahtl and other neutral nations were attacked by Ransackistan, Yoahtl joined the UDF and declared war on Ransackistan in the second week of December 2019. The [[War of The Coalition|Coalition War]] had begun. Now fully reintegrated with old and new allies, Yoahtl's community threw itself into the war effort and began a renewed focus on infrastructure to win the war effort.

 

 

==== The Infinity War ====

The economy boomed and demand for labor increased. Led by GDAN12, WackyAki, and others, the population rose rapidly. Production skyrocketed and NYC reached a new height of architectural beauty. Kobylinski was revived yet again for the first time in years and good times were had by all. XP prices fell below one diamond per block at some points and newcomers to Yoahtl learned to bot farms to keep the economy running. However as Yoahtl thrived the UDF began to struggle. Internal squabbling began with the renewed focus of the Hjaltland-Columbia-Valyria-Kallos partnership that made coordination difficult. Despite reaching a new height of power, the Empire of Yoahtl found itself alienated from former allies. As the map ended, Yoahtl's energy continued. The end of CivClassics marks the end of the Era of Infrastructure.
