To the last day of Civclassic there was never another word heard from Peter; not long after his disappearance, councilor reffelruz began to develop a theological vision of the king; reffelruz had spent the duration of the Somber War in the desert of Meditat, developing a religion there; following the war, he began to view Peter as the central figure of the cosmos; he recontextualized the symbolism of the ornate temples of Meditat around Peter as the incarnate god; this brought his religious views into direct relation to his political duties, and later he would pen the [[Declaration of the Eternal King]], declaring Peter to be both king and god, and laying out the theological justification for such a belief. The council never responded to the declaration.

When reffelruz revived the Commonwealth on CivMC, it was founded explicitly on this notion: that Peter is the eternal godking, and the Commonwealth are his people, meant to carry on his legacy. This very nearly became the notion of a Commonwealth without a state, when reffelruz became discouraged from its founding by other council members who would not be returning; in the end, however, with encouragement from other less prominent citizens, the founding went through, and the Commonwealth has remained incredibly stable throughout the iteration thus far, both haunted and protected by the spirit of the King which looms over the city, and has been a source of controversy linked directly to internal political events throughout CW's time on CivMC.

This very nearly became the notion of a Commonwealth without a state, when reffelruz became discouraged from its founding by other council members who would not be returning; in the end, however, with encouragement from other less prominent citizens, the founding went through; situated in a jungle, Peter's biome of choice, the Commonwealth has now implemented Peter's waterdrop to Shopside, which was rejected by the old council, as well as his model for a more organic Shopside, built into natural underground caverns. Protected and haunted by the spirit of the King which looms over the city- a source of much political controversy - the Commonwealth has become a place of symbols and mystery.


Reffelruz continues to develop the scriptural basis for the religion of the King; he is writing several plays and countless books, many of which are displayed throughout the city on lecterns, as well as building a cathedral as a royal temple in which to deliver sermons and perform rituals, with the help of the design efforts of RoboRik of Southirian descent, who joined CW after the disbanding of [[Southshire]].
