[[File:The Arrival to Halbyrd.jpg|left|thumb|400x400px|A drawn dramatization of Yoahtl's arrival to the jungles and cliffs of Halbyrd. Circa Civcraft 2.0: Cimitlan]]
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.<gallery>▼

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.▼

Yoahtl continued with daily life until the server underwent a map reset. But for Yoahtl, it was just like a new server. And although it was new, it felt familiar to the Yoahtlan. Just like when they first joined the server, the Yoahtlans journeyed for several hours onto the direction of the rising sun. After traveling across large tracts of land and several oceans, the Yoahtlans came upon an island with a jungle/plains area at the foot of a very large forested mountain on the banks of a small sea. Here, they founded a new city and named it Tlaloc after the Aztec god of water and rain.▼

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.

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.

The construction of these walls lead to the siege of Tuton. The siege lasted four days. Small skirmishes took place during that time which Yoahtl won. Yoahtl used this power to claim more of the pixel art and set it aflame. On the fourth day Mylttlpny mounted an assault with about seven people at a moment when Yoahtl only had five citizens available to defend. These numbers allowed Mylttlpny to initially take back some of the land. However, more of the Yoahtlans came online and then Mylttlpny was outnumbered twelve to seven. The Yoahtlans were able to kill enough of the bronies to claim more pixel art and assault the HQ. The Yoahtlans managed to fight their way up and flood and spawncamp the Mylttlpny HQ. By then Yoahtl controlled the rest of Mylttlpny's claims. All of the Yoahtlan cheered as they removed the blocks and broke into the chests. Soon they were burning the remainder of the pixel art. After that, the faction owner of Mylttlpny disbanded the faction. It was a clear and decisive victory.

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.
Eventually they hit land, and at the very moment they did; they stayed. A whole continent, isolated from anything or anyone who played in Endless; besides the Yoahtlan. The land was promptly named Ixilitlon and swiftly make-shift houses were built and progress had earnestly began. It was sand, as it was a mixture of both beach and desert; it was to be that many of the buildings to come will and would be built with sandstone, but with an attempt at the Huehuetlic design produced in Halybrd. Attempts at a nostalgia of Tuton was made, with grand to minimal success; it changed overtime. However at the
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.
