History
Civcraft 1.0
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.[1][2] The Maester Alliance was announced officially to the Civcraft subreddit by SomethingSaucy on the 2nd of March 2013.[3]

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 collection of the library was mainly made up of books originating from Civcraft 1.0.
Civcraft 2.0
After losing momentum at the start of the iteration, the Alliance resurfaced in 2014 and, led by Marcus_Flaminius, initially established a headquarters - the Omen Assembly - at the Omen Facility, an unsuccessful development project by Dr_Oracle.
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.[4]
Bergecraft
The Maester Alliance established and maintained a small expeditionary library - the Loje Library - on the second iteration of Bergecraft, in the town of Dearborn.
CivTemp
Set up a facility on CivTemp and later built a library called the Tawa Assembly Library.[4] After a vote was held it was named Tawa after the Toki Pona word for travelling, a name suggested by Logic_Man.[5][6]
Civcraft 3.0
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 fairly close to finishing the build, as ttk2 departed from Civcraft development and, as a result, Civcraft 3.0 ceased to be.
Devoted 3.0
Maester FabledMrFox creates the Library of Augusta within Mount Augusta and with Marcus_flaminius's permission leads the Maesters on Devoted.[8] Helping FabledMrFox was TaylorLCling who would later go on to become a Maester.[9] The library had 44 books in its collection at one point.[10]
CivClassic 2.0
The maesters were based in MTA with the Kamakon Assembly Scriptorium, 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 here. During CivClassics 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 Maester Lodish settling in Yoahtl, whereas Maester Logic_Man and Maester Milipede set up in MTA. In Altepetl the capital of Yoahtl the Xunkuilotl Tomo Lipu Library is built by Lodish, and in MTA the Anpa Nena Tomo Scriptorium is built, and a plot for a future library reserved. Maester reffelruz sets up to the west in The Commonwealth.
