This is a list of all heritage sites and landmarks registered by the International Culutral Preservation Association. A heritage site or landmark is a place that is considered to have special cultural, historical or physical significance. The list is sorted into three different categories: world heritage sites, regional heritage sites and landmarks, with each category corresponding to a different level of significance of the site. The category of each site is decided by the ICPA Committee, which consists of members from all over the world. The committee considers any site that is submitted in the #submissions channel of the ICPA Discord, and decides what category it fits in.
Categories
World Heritage Site
A heritage site of this level is considered iconic on the server - it is something almost all people are aware of and know, even though they do not live in the country or region it is. Very few sites qualify as World heritage sites. An example of this could be the Zexenia Tower - A building which is both historically significant, and is iconic on a server-wide level.
Regional Heritage Site
A heritage site of this level might be known all over the world, but is not "iconic" in the same sense. It is something, however, that you would direct visitors and travelers to see if they were in the area. Examples include: the Voter Tree in Mount Augusta and the Great Cathedral of the Eternal Coin in Tel Adam.
Landmark
These structures are known on a local level, and carry historical or cultural significance for the local area it's in. Examples include: The Euthenia Carrot Statue, the Amaryllis Citadel, and the Kielsted Monument.
World Heritage Sites
Altar of the Elder Mod
Template:Infobox heritage This sacrilege of the Elder Mod community has quickly become one of the most recognizable builds on the server. It is especially unique in its construction as a six-sided geometric figure. The altercations at this altar have brought together players from all across the server to fight in friendly tournaments. The site is devoted to the the Order of the Elder Mod, the religious organization which rules Zen. Each of the eight central symbols represents a different facet of the religion and surrounding builds.
Regional Heritage Sites
Mount Augusta Voter Tree
Template:Infobox heritage Mount Augusta's "Voter Tree" transcends any one server, and serves as the heart of MtA's political system. New citizens register themselves at the tree upon joining. It achieved regional importance when members of the nearby settlement of Boris burned the tree in protest of Mount Augusta's leadership. Although Mount Augusta is well known, this tree's historical and cultural significance is limited to the region, and therefore the site is a regional heritage site.
Temple of Serapis
Template:Infobox heritage The Temple of Serapis is one of the largest buildings of Alexandria. It stands on top of the artificial Paper Mache Mountain, where it can be seen from all over the city. It is dedicated to the god Serapis, and is constructed using the proportions of real ancient greek temples. The temple is considered a regional heritage site due to its prominent place in the culture, and skyline, of Alexandria.
Landmarks
GEXP Original Branch
Template:Infobox heritage The GEXP Original Branch was the first shop owned by GEXP, which ran the first large-scale experience operation on the server. Today, the building stands as a monument to the economic history of the server, and this history, along with the building's cultural significance in Wheatistan, makes it a landmark.
Ice Memorial Block
Template:Infobox heritage This block is the only block in a vast empty sea. It is unknown how it was made, but it is presumed to have been created with admin crimes. While this site does not hold a major historical or cultural significance, it is still considered a landmark due to its uniqueness.
La Commune d'Athena Memorial Pillar
Template:Infobox heritage This pillar is a memorial to la Commune d'Athena, an anarchist commune located where Tel Adam lies today. The pillar is considered a landmark, due to its historical significance.
Mt. Mountain/The Tree of Dionysus
Template:Infobox heritage Mount Mountain is a holy site in Alexandrian culture. It is said that the Hermit, a figure in Alexandrian folklore, attempted to perform a ritual inside the mountain, but that he failed and died, leaving his body to provide the nutrients that allowed the tree of Dionysus to sprout from the top of the mountain. The mountain and the tree have a lot of cultural significance to the people of Alexandria, which is why they are considered a landmark.
