===== 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.
On June 3, 2022, a number of Pavians embarked on a journey to explore a new world and establish permanent settlements. Among them, individuals like paagf and Creepi0n, as well as Cissonius of Braemar, encountered challenges such as getting lost in a river and navigating unfamiliar terrains. Duke of Windermere, Gobblin, ventured through southern regions, encompassing jungles and marshes, in search of promising locations for potential settlement.


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.
During the late morning hours of the same day, BritishWanderer I stumbled upon the lands that eventually came to be known as Auldmarche. Subsequently, he invited fellow Dukes to join him in mapping the surrounding areas. A debate arose within the group regarding whether Pavia was establishing settlements too rapidly, potentially overlooking more suitable locations on the map. To address this concern, the Dukes collectively decided to set a deadline, midday, by which time they would finalize their decision on settling in the lands discovered by BritishWanderer I. When midday arrived, after additional land exploration, it was concluded that the initially discovered lands were indeed the most favorable. The people of Pavia then swiftly began establishing settlements within an expansive cave complex situated at the northern tip of Auldmarche.


The Bureau of Architecture, led by Gobblin immediately began to survey the lands for a suitable Townhall spot, which required swaths of smooth land due to the size of the planned structure. Blueprints were 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 ferried resources from the cave complex in Auldmarche to a new cavern closer to the planned cityscape.
The Bureau of Architecture, led by Gobblin, promptly initiated the process of identifying an optimal location for the Townhall, a crucial structure requiring significant flat terrain. The Townhall's design, crafted by Duke of Vetranio, paagf, was intended for placement on the western portion of the 'Great Pavia' landmass. Resources were transported from the cave complex in Auldmarche to a new cavern nearer to the planned city area, in preparation for construction.


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 was later accompanied by a noteblock snitch network laid by BritishWanderer I. On the 4th of June, an island evdenvour led by Hitobashuru saw flags erected on all of Pavia's claimed islands.
Upon thorough exploration of the landmasses, the Duke of Lugano took on the task of demarcating the entire shoreline with signposts to assert the claim and deter potential foreign settlers and scouts. This was supplemented by a noteblock snitch network established by BritishWanderer I. On June 4, an island endeavor led by Hitobashuru saw the placement of flags on all of Pavia's claimed islands.


In the afternoon of the 3rd, the Dukes of Pavia unanimously approved Pavia's Initial Claims and post them into the Pavia discord publicly.<ref name=":8">{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=BritishWanderer|sender=Danny|url=https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957406624950157352/982286652233887775|text=3rd of June 2022 [with accompanying claims image]|date=June 3, 2021|access-date=August 10, 2021|channel=cartography-office|server=The Principality of Pavia}}</ref> The Bureau of Semiography posted an updated, illustrated, and more detailed map of the claims on the 4th.<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=hitobashuru|sender=hitobashuru|url=https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957406624950157352/982585390995230770|text=4th of June 2022 [with accompanying claims image]|date=June 4, 2021|access-date=August 10, 2021|channel=cartography-office|server=The Principality of Pavia}}</ref>
In the afternoon of June 3, the Dukes of Pavia collectively endorsed Pavia's Initial Claims, sharing them publicly within the Pavia discord channel. The Bureau of Semiography subsequently provided an updated, illustrated, and more detailed map of the claims on June 4.


Later on in the day, the people of Griffin traversed through Pavian lands and settle north of the river, and both nations were joined by Lambat settling to the east on the 4th of June.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/v4lrvs/the_east_rises_again_lambats_official_claims/</ref>
Later on the same day, the people of Griffin ventured through Pavian lands, establishing settlements to the north of a river. Additionally, Lambat settled to the east on June 4, contributing to the evolving geographical landscape.
