After the abandonment of [[Lazuli]], [[NateMagic]] traveled north to an old mining outpost and started to build a great hall that would become '''The Citadel''', other ex-lazulians [[Ttocs_is_Awe]] and [[SomethingSaucy]] came to join him and expanded the hall that housed many texts and added a village next to it. They were both collecting books and writing new ones. The three of them reached an agreement and named themselves the Maester Alliance.<ref name=":0">The Founding by [[Marcus_Flaminius]] https://civbooks.github.io/books/Civcraft_2/Marcus_Flaminius/The_Founding.html</ref><ref>NateMagic's Fall by SomethingSaucy https://civbooks.github.io/books/Civcraft_2/SomethingSaucy/NateMagic_s_Fall.html</ref> The Maester Alliance was announced officially to the Civcraft subreddit by SomethingSaucy on the 2nd of March 2013.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/19j9nr/officially_announcing_the_maesters_of_civcraft/</ref>

=== Craftlang ===
The closest thing to a headquarters of the Maester Alliance on [[Craftlang]] was the library officially named (in the toki pona language) '''tomo pi mute lipu pi ike sona''', from which the english version is derived - '''Pikesona Heretical Grand Library'''. The reason for deeming the library "heretical" or to be containing "bad knowledge" was the fact that it mainly contained books written in english, not in any constructed languages - the focus of this particular server - nor about anything related to the server. The [https://www.reddit.com/r/CivLibraries/comments/1l9zd1/pikesona_collection_28th_of_august_2013/ collection of the library] was mainly made up of books originating from [[Civcraft#Civcraft_1.0|Civcraft 1.0]]. The library was located in the small town of Mokuhr, the most noteworthy settlement on the server.

Line 77 ⟶ 83:
The second headquarters of the Maesters in [[Civcraft 2.0]] was the '''Tenpo Assembly''', located far north from the Omen Assembly, close to [[Saraliana]]. It was named "after our ageless nature" and the distant location "that has been forgotten by time" by using the Toki Pona word for time.<ref name=":3" />

=== Civcraft 3.0 ===
Line 95 ⟶ 113:
In Civcraft 3.0, the Maester Alliance tried to ally with a suitable political group that would ensure enough security to allow for the establishment of a grand central library that would serve both as a place to copy texts from for other libraries as well as act as a centre of knowledge and research. Thus, the Maesters started out in Tjikko, together with [[Concordia]]. The Alliance had reserved the right to its own borough under the Concordian rule and work soon started on the library. Unexpectedly, however, the work was cut short [https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/55tbhm/maester_alliance_presents_a_public_library_that/ fairly close to finishing the build], as [[ttk2]] departed from [[Civcraft]] development and, as a result, Civcraft 3.0 ceased to be.

=== CivClassic 2.0 ===
The Maesters were based in [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mt. Augusta]], in the '''Kamakon Assembly'''. Nearby was the largest and main Maester library, the '''[[Shardore Tower Library]]'''. At its peak the library had over 100 books on the shelves; the book collection of the library can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pO950xiN2eY6da-Looz4e7tRcGFBCnxItXo2sqnPMaA/view#gid=0 here]. During [[CivClassic 2.0|CivClassic 2.0]], 7 new maesters were initiated into the order, saying their oaths at the Kamakon Assembly Hall.

=== CivMC ===
The Maesters are much more spread out with [[Lodish|Maester Lodish]] settling in [[Yoahtl]], whereas [[Logic_Man|Maester Logic_Man]] and [[Milipede|Maester Milipede]] set up in [[Mount Augusta (CivMC)|Mt. Augusta]]. InNot timelong after, [[Marcus_Flaminius|Maester Flaminius]] returned from a long slumber and joined Maesters Logic_Man and Milipede.
 
In Altepetl - the capital of Yoahtl - the '''Xunkuilotl Tomo Lipu Library''' was built by Lodish, and in Mt. Augusta the '''Walo Nena Assembly''' and the Anpa Nena Tomo Scriptorium was built, as well as a plot for a future library reserved. [[Reffelruz|Maester reffelruz]] set up to the west, in [[The Commonwealth]].
