==== September Raids ====

[[File:Odresh City Greif.png|thumb|A screenshot of Odresh City after the September 24th raid, taken from the floating island at the northern edge of the city.]]From September 20th-24th, Odresh experienced three raids in rapid succession which quickly became known as the September Raids. While no one was pearled, and material loses were minimal, Odresh City's infrastructure was decimated by repeated TNT detonations. The first raid was minor, when Brsxoi entered the city and broke open all houses, stealing whatever valuables remained in the city. After a period of long inactivity, Lokilog logged on soon after and saw this, reported it to Crusher, and then disconnected for the day. On Monday, September 23rd, at approximately 3:51 PM EST, likely alt IkChapDollo repeatedly detonated TNT around the city, wreaking havoc on all structures. While buildings like the Community Center emerged relatively unscathed, places like Crusher Apartments were reduced to crumbling walls. The next day, n8mastercrafter placed major grief around the city, with small pillars of lava and water falling from the tops of buildings, and pumpkins scattered around the city, though they were not reinforced. This was quickly cleaned up, and is best summarized by [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/d8vnty/odresh_attacked_once_more/ Lokilog's raid announcement on reddit], in which he said "This one hasn't really changed anything? It just gave us a bunch of pumpkins." By the end of the night, most of the damage to the city from both the 23rd and 24th raids had been cleaned up, with the only major exception being Crusher Apartments. It was intentionally left in this state, as there were talks of turning it into a memorial after the city was rebuilt. The residences of both Lokilog and Crusher were torn down, the first buildings to go in the planned period of demolition and subsequent reconstruction envisioned by Crusher after the Sept. 23rd raid. At this point, the raids had caused players from across Yoahtl to pitch into the effort to help Odresh. After the Sept. 23rd raid, 300 diamond bounties were put on both Brsxoi and IkChapDollo, but now military action was being taken. Tlanexcui was stationed in Odresh, ready to log in and attack if necessary, while progress on an ice road to between Odresh and Yoahtl proper saw great advancement. Furthermore, a massive care package was being put together to help the city recover, while Okato Shipping [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/d8l3pc/introducing_okato_shipping_services/ announced] that they would provide free deliveries to [[Icenia]] (which had also experienced raids) and Odresh for the rest of the month. Talk also shifted to ''why'' this was happening, and why they kept coming back to an already-ruined city. Odresh simply hadn't done anything to provoke these attacks. At present, no perpetrator has been determined, though it is suspected that all attacks are alts from one player or group. Finally, the next day, Crusher and Lokilog successfully pearled the raider as they attempted to place grief in the early morning. This ended the September Raids, and began the period of reconstruction in which most buildings were torn down and replaced. This period of reconstruction ended halfway through completion due to, once more, inactivity.

==== Reconstruction ====

After a long period of inactivity, Lokilog and Crusher got together the few old citizens that still wanted to play and began the process of Reconstruction. Originally, they planned for this to occur immediately after the raids, but they went inactive once more, and only the very first steps were ever taken. A new, ordered plan calls for a revival of the province's infrastructure and playerbase in three steps:

# Odresh City: The primary goal of phase one is to clean up remaining grief in Odresh City, and to replace old buildings with newer, better-looking ones. This phase also promotes citizens currently living in Batavia or Garnet to build a structure of their own on one of the city's various empty plots.

# Batavia + Garnet: The second phase is focused on finishing the Batavian Castle and connecting Garnet to the rest of the province. The castle's second level is still incomplete, and overall it needs some additional aesthetic elements. Meanwhile, Garnet is relatively isolated, so a new branch of the footpaths will be built to serve as the primary connection to other population centers.

# Recruitment: Once phases one and two have been completed, the final step in Reconstruction will be to recruit newfriends. Lokilog has stated that he wants to build a solid community in Odresh, and so made recruitment a central goal of reconstruction. In addition, new citizens will solidify the province as an active part of Yoahtl and the server as whole, while ensuring that it will not fall into inactivity as it has so many times before.

==== Odresh City ====

As the capital of Odresh, Odresh City was the nation's first settlement. It has a Community Center and Factory Building, accessible by all citizens. The old Community Center was torn down after the Phylon Conflict to reveal the logbox inside, and was turned into a memorial of the event. The rest of the town is relatively small, with a small farm, a few houses, and a work-in-progress rail station.

==== Batavia ====

[[File:Batavia Castle.png|thumb|Taken in July 2019, this screenshot shows the Odreshi fortress and XP farms in Batavia. This region has changed significantly since Batavia's return.]]

Batavia was a nation in the tundra to the north of Odresh, but was annexed after they fell inactive and didn't respond to messages. During Odresh's first return to the server, the old citizens of Batavia came back, and now live as a semi-autonomous territory within Odresh. The agreement made between the two peoples allows the people of Batavia to have complete control over government, builds, laws, etc. The only exceptions to this are the Batavian Castle and the XP Farms. In addition, all national laws supersede local laws. The elevation change from mountains to tundra transportation to the mountains difficult, but a waterdrop and minecart elevator connect the area with the rest of Odresh.

==== Garnet ====

Garnet is a small town founded close to the geographic center of the province by BigMoney. As a relatively new part of Odresh, and having come about in a time of inactivity, it is not a major part of the province, as its creator is its only resident.

==== Footpaths ====

Soon after the founding of Odresh, Lokilog began working on a series of mountain passes to connect Odresh City to other settlements and areas in the nation. The first connection occurred from Odresh to Batavia. Right now there are two paths to the edge of the mountains, one of which has a well-developed waterdrop and minecart elevator. The paths were then extended to the middle of the mountains, where they ended near Urbania. Then, in July 2019, Lokilog finished a connection to the desert. A connection to Aurora was planned, but inactivity and poor geography killed the idea.
