[[File:Pavia Initial Claims.png|left|thumb|Pavia's Initial Claims on CivMC, established on the 3rd of June 2022]]
===From the Founding of the State to the First Global Conflict ===
====Founding of the State====
On the 3rd of June 2022, many Pavians set off into a brave new world to search for their forever home. Their Graces, paagf & Creepi0n both found themselves lost in a river in the - , + quadrant for over an hour, whilst Cissonius of Braemar was sailing the vast middle ocean hoping for a sight of land. Duke of Windermere, Gobblin, was exploring southern regions across jungles and marshes hoping to wander into the supposed promised lands.
In the late morning hours of the 3rd, BritishWanderer I stumbled across lands now known as Auldmarche and began to explore, calling upon his fellow Dukes to join him in mapping out the surrounding territories. Upon exploring the initial claims, a debate ensued about whether Pavia was settling down too fast before scouting other regions of the map and whether there was a risk of missing out on a more suitable spot. To resolve this quandary, The Dukes of Pavia agreed to set a time, midday, by which if no finer land was found then the people of Pavia would settle on the landmasses found by BritishWanderer I. Midday came by and with plenty more lands prospected, it was concluded that the best lands were those that had already been discovered and charted. The people of Pavia swiftly made their way to the new lands and settlement sprung up inside of an expansive cave complex located on the northern tip of Auldmarche.
The Bureau of Architecture, led by Gobblin
As soon as the landmasses were fully explored, the Duke of Lugano immediately undertook the arduous task of signposting the entire shoreline to mark out the claim to dissuade any foreign settlers & scouts. This
Later on in the day, the people of Griffin would traverse through Pavian lands and settle north of the river, and both nations would also be joined by Lambat settling to the east on the 4th of June.▼
In the afternoon of the 3rd, the Dukes of Pavia

▲The Bureau of Architecture, led by Gobblin would begin to survey the lands for a suitable Townhall spot, requiring swaths of smooth land due to the size of the planned structure. Blueprints would be drawn up for the Townhall, designed by the Duke of [[Pavia#Duchies of Pavia|Vetranio]], paagf, to be placed on the western portion of the 'Great Pavia' landmass and as such the people of Pavia would ferry resources from the cave complex in Auldmarche to a new cavern closer to the planned cityscape.
▲As soon as the landmasses were fully explored, the Duke of Lugano immediately undertook the arduous task of signposting the entire shoreline to mark out the claim to dissuade any foreign settlers & scouts. This would later be accompanied by a noteblock snitch network laid by BritishWanderer I.

On the 5th of June, the Bureau of Architecture under the leadership of the Duke of Winderemere, Gobblin, and the Duke of Vetranio, paagf, citizens would begin flattening and terraforming vast tracts of land in preparation for the construction of the town hall. This terraforming would be completed the following day and efforts would commence on the bricklaying.▼
==== Cave Life ====
The peoples of Pavia originally settled inside of a cave at the northern tip of Auldmarche, quickly extracting resources out of the cave walls and establishing storage rooms, as well as living areas. However once the Bureau of Architecture decided to construct the foundations of the Pavian capital on the western coast of the greater landmass, it was collectively agreed to move to a cavern closer to the site.
The newly settled cave, on the north western peak of the 'Great Pavia' landmass is an expansive cave, with it's roots extending as far as Auldmarche and as deep as bedrock. There are three entrances, two of which are commonly used and another that is utilised as a skylight for the cave's growing flora. Due to the cave's extensive underground networks, the people of Pavia gained mild riches and collections of build materials with ease, which aided greatly in speeding up the erection of the Town Hall foundations. The cave network continues to be Pavia's primary domestic source of quarried stone and other stone-related materials.
The Pavian Tribune was the first firm to set up since the settlement of the cave, publishing their first article on June 5th. On the 11th of June, the great hole of Pavia came to host its first commercial property, a Topington shop which sold cobble, andesite, and prismarine. This shop was a popular hit and sell out frequently for the period that it was in operation.
====Early Island Disputes====
'''Quiet Isle'''
Although not originally surveyed in the 'initial claims map of Pavia', the people of Pavia soon discovered two islands directly to the west, just 150m from the mainland's shoreline. The then-Crown Prince, BritishWanderer I, immediately led an expedition to these isles, consisting of himself and [[Hitobashuru]] of the Semiography Bureau, hoping to claim the islands before another party did so. This matter was viewed as of importance as the isles themselves sit in direct line of sight to the town hall and planned city of Pavia, and any construction there
Later on in the day, on the 3rd of June, the western island's inhabitant contacted Pavians in local chat to inquire about the signs that had been placed around the shore. SeniorGryphon requested an audience with the Crown Prince to discuss the situation and the status of his island & Pavia. Discussions between the two were friendly and they broached a myriad of topics. SeniorGryphon revealed that he was unaware of the Pavian landmass, having only mapped up to his island before settling down. Whilst initially SeniorGryphon expressed mild interest in joining Pavia as a constituent country, it was eventually agreed that Gryphon was welcome to remain independent on his islands so long as the land was not granted to any foreign power in the future.
On the 6th of June, SeniorGryphon communicated that he was abandoning the island and moving to the - , - quadrant. As a result of this information, the Pavian government at the behest of BritishWanderer
'''Lucassio Islands'''
Line 57 ⟶ 50:
The Lucassio Islands are the largest and closest set of islands to the Pavian mainland, with the island chain itself spanning nearly 500 blocks north to south. These islands are numerous and spread out over a large sea-area, making patrolling and effectively snitching a challenge, with the island chain becoming a security issue almost immediately after their claiming.
On the 5th of June, snitch pings alerted the Pavian Nobility to an individual known as 'wiz_cheese' arriving on one of the northern Lucassio Islands, these pings continued for upwards of an hour before the first contact was initiated. The Duke of Windermere, Gobblin,
As wiz_cheese had rejected calls to remove themselves from the island by Gobblin, the Crown Prince decided to gather up Gobblin & [[Hitobashuru]] to lead an operation to investigate what wiz was up to. Upon their arrival they found wiz_cheese breaking the Pavia flag that was flying on the northern island, and noticed that the shoreline & tops of the islands had been partially destroyed and terraformed away. Horrified at the sight, the Crown Prince asked wiz_cheese to vacate the islands, which wiz_cheese agreed to, recognizing that he was outnumbered and left the general area.
Gobblin returned back to the mainland whilst BritishWanderer and Hitobashuru attempted to repair the damage, and rebuild the flag. Hitobashuru also brought with them snitches that
Merely 30 minutes later, snitches spotted wiz_cheese boating around the western shoreline of the Pavian mainland, assuming that he was looking for a new spot the Pavians ignored these pings. However, these pings

====Settlement Development & Construction of the Town Hall====
TO BE ADDED TO
▲On the 5th of June, the Bureau of Architecture under the leadership of the Duke of Winderemere, Gobblin, and the Duke of Vetranio, paagf, citizens would begin flattening and terraforming vast tracts of land in preparation for the construction of the town hall. This terraforming would be completed the following day and efforts would commence on the bricklaying.
Development of the area surrounding the cave would begin immediately, with progress on the project being faster than expected. Whilst, initially, the construction only grew 4 meters between the 5th and 9th of June, it gained pace rapidly, adding 11 meters to the town hall between the 9th and the 12th of June.

=== First Global Conflict ===
Line 127 ⟶ 122:
When cleaning up obsidian on the western shoreline during the late evening of the 17th, Duke of Braemar Cissonius was set upon by 4 Rhode Island fighters, Cissonius was over 400m from the vault and without any reinforcements. He successfully kited back to Terminus, whilst a joint force of Estalian and Pavian fighters gave chase to the Rhode Island attackers, the Estalian portion of the defense force chased the assailants nearly 300m into the western ocean.
In the early hours of the 18th of August, a wooden skybridge was spotted circling the outside of the vault's snitch curtain and although there was no breach by RI fighters, Gobblin
Come the morning of the 19th, Pavian forces made up of BritishWanderer & Gobblin alongside Estalian fighters of Walkers, ZibeKabir & Shadedoom, would clash on the north coast with Dollaz, HOODRATSLAYA and Hokkaido__ from Rhode Island. The Rhode Island aggressors would place obsidian, and repeatedly attempt to kite to a trap they had constructed on an outlying sand island. This battle would result in no causalities and end with the withdrawal of the Rhode Island fighters back to their Nation-state. Later on in the day, Aprillia2002 of RI would be spotted building yet another skybridge to the west of Terminus. They would immediately flee after being spotted on radar, dumping lava on the bridge in their retreat which would pour down in-front of the Pavian Townhall. This skybridge was promptly destroyed by the Dukes of Bedford and Lugano.
