Line 26:
Blackcrown was officially founded on June 3, 2013, a few days after the launch of 2.0.
[[Nanaton]] was a precursor settlement in the area. Originally conceived as an [[LSIF]]-base, the ruins lie roughly 200 meters south east of Blackcrown Keep. The majority of LSIF 2.0-origin parties split off to found [[Catalonia]] (roughly 3km north) while Blackcrown dug in and made its home. Remnants of Nanaton can still be found, although most of it has been heavily griefed or reclaimed.
Blackcrown's location was chosen because of a natural rock formation in the cliff that resembled a dragon's head and wings outstretched. This was carved into the dragon statue that overlooks the river on the Keep's western most point.
Blackcrown is one of the founding members of the [[United Provinces of the Plus Plus|U3P]].
In February of 2014, Blackcrown citizens along with members of the LSIF started construction of the Folkvang International Highway, a cross map series of tunnels that allow travel by horse. The first of these tunnels was started in Blackcrown and dubbed the High Road because it was accidentally built one block higher than the connecting tunnel from [[Haven]].

[[File:Blackcrown red quarter.png
The Red Quarter takes its name from the steeply slanted netherbrick roofs on each building in the district, and is populated by merchants, nobles, and elder citizens. The Red Quarter Square (comprising Blackcrown markets, Crusty Keyboard Inn, and Ye ol' Dilde Shoppe) is found here.[[File:Blackcrown grey quarter.jpg|thumb|''The Grey Quarter'']]
==== The Grey Quarter ====
Like the Red Quarter, the Grey Quarter is named for the color of its stone roofs. While more modest than the Red Quarter, the district is unmistakably Blackcrownian and home to Scribes and Scholars.
