The '''Order of Saint Marcus''' iswas a guild of builders and urban planners which focuses on constructing impressive or interesting structures across the server, and encouragesencouraged players to work on improving the look of their town or city. Anyone maycould apply to join the Order, and progression through the ranks is based on an individual's skill and level of contribution to the Order's goals. The Order's members are responsible for the construction of over250+ 80registered builds across 1026 cities.
The group iswas based in [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mount Augusta]], and was founded in February 2018 by [[Logic_Man]] and [[Gobblin]]. TodayLater in the map, the Order of Saint Marcus has expanded to construct many buildings across the map. The Order also operates and manages multiple historical monuments such as the Pillars of Iria in [[Iria]] and will soon be opening the St Marcus Archives located on Level 1 of Shardore Tower in Mount Augusta. Saint Marcus refers to [[Marcus Flaminius|Marcus_Flaminius]], an important historical figure of previous Civcraft iterations and a major player in the [[Maester Alliance]] - an order focused on preservation of stories and texts written in-game.
== Goals ==
The Order of Saint Marcus hashad the following goals;
* Construct appealing buildings server-wide.
* Improve the cities in which the Order operates.
* Support other members of the Order with achieving the prior goals regardless of borders or diplomacy.

The Order is always looking for new builder and the requirements to join are simply a desire to build, and you will never be required to leave your town of residence. If you are the first member of the Order within a town, you will be the guild master of the Order within that city. Members of the Order of St Marcus participate in what is called the '''journey of the placed block'''. The 'value' of a building is up to the discretion of the Fellows of St Marcus. Each member has a home city, but may build anywhere on the server.

== Listings ==
The Order of St. Marcus had a major impact on building throughout CivClassic. Of the many buildings its members built, five are categorized as gems:
* '''[[Shardore Tower Library]]''', one of the tallest buildings in Mount Augusta, if not the server, that acted as the [[Maester Alliance]]'s central library on the server.
* The '''[[New Yoahtl City]]''' Citadel, a massive fort that held a trench and a thriving economy inside.
* '''Ashguard Palace''' and '''Ashguard Temple''', two megastructures built in the Ashguard Basin outside of [[Meditat]] town proper.
* The '''Tower of Varkanos''' in [[Varkonia]] City, a tall clock tower towering over the country.
Additionally, the Order built guildhalls in many cities across the server had contained these builds, including, but not limited to, [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mount Augusta]], [[Iria]], [[Verda]], [[The Commonwealth]], and [[Varkonia]].
The order sponsored other miscellaneous buildings, such as rail stations, shops, government structures & embassies, gardens, and houses.

== The Journey of the Placed Block ==
The Order's requirements to join are simply a desire to build, and never required a builder to leave their town of residence. If a builder was the first member of the Order within a town, you will be the guild master of the Order within that city.

Each member has a home city, but may build anywhere on the server.
* an '''immersive''' building is a building which adds to the culture of a city or adds interesting exploring opportunities to visitors, an example could be churches, bars, inns, museums or embassies.
* a '''government''' building is a building which aids the government or provides some roleplay ability to a cities government - such as courthouses, factory buildings, townhalls or prisons.

== Initiatives ==
'''The Anti-Grid movement of Mt Augusta'''
The Order hashad a focus on making Mt[[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mount Augusta]] look more like a city, and less like a creative server by implementing buildings that mount or modify the road in a way that allow for a more fluid transition between different player's blocks. The current progress undertaken by the Order includes: Unity Terrace (collaboration with Romec), Tunnel of Love (collaboration with Romec), May 2018 Order of St Marcus and Maester Alliance assembly redevelopment, Terrace of Acacia (collaboration with [[scramble0]]), Tunnel on Tenpo Lane, Tunnel to scramble0's plot (collaboration with scramble0), The Garden of Eden (collaboration with the Maester Alliance).
== Historical Roots and Connection with the Maester Alliance ==
The [[Maester Alliance]] is an ancient guild of writers and archivists which focuses on recording the histories of the Ages, preserving literature, and encouraging players to write and produce cultural works. The Alliance dates back to the First Age of Civcraft, and is a well-respected institution in its own right.
The Order was established during the 'long night', a period of time between Civcraft 3.0 and the Second Era of CivclassicsCivClassic where the majority of maestersMaesters fell into eternal slumber and the torch of the Alliance was passed through the Ages by one or two individuals. During the latter part of this timespan, one of the last maestersMaesters joined forces with a skilled architect to plant the seed of a new, culturally focused group for the Civ-genre. GrandMaesterGrand Maester Marcus_Flaminius was named patron saint of the group, in recognition of the significant time commitment and effort given by this player to the Alliance across the Ages, and in memory of his then apparent eternal slumber.
The Order therefore shares a common root system with the Maester Alliance, although it is a much younger group in comparison, and functions as a ‘sister’ guild; both groups co-exist and collaborate on some projects, but ultimately have separate goals. Players are welcome to join either (or both).
