The group is based in [[Mount Augusta]], and was founded in February 2018 by [[Logic_Man]] and [[Gobblin]]. Today, the Order of Saint Marcus has expanded to construct many buildings across the map. 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.

== Working your way to the top - The Journey of the Placed Block ==

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.
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]], [[Iria]], [[Verda]], [[The Commonwealth]], and [[Varkonia]].

The order sponsored other miscellaneous buildings, such as rail stations, shops, government structures & embassies, gardens, and houses.

The Order has a focus on making Mt 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).
