History

Founding and Early History

Rodentia's lake was discovered by Basilissa on June 19th, 2020, where they dug a hole into a hill and set their spawn. The following day, Basilissa gathered friends at the site and established the town of Rodentia. Early development was quick, with the Rodents living communally out of a single, small building that housed their storage, production, and living quarters. Several pits were dug around the town; livestock was acquired, and a small farm around the lake was sown.

First Contact

On June 26th, NovaCeasar, the Princeps of the SPQR, happened upon Rodentia while scouting out the borders Vasticus, which was undergoing negotiations to enter the SPQR as a province. She was surprised to see Rodentia there, as the SPQR sought to create farms Vasticus' savannah, which Rodentia was almost entirely within. NovaCeasar offered the Rodents the chance to join the SPQR as a province separate from Vasticus. The Rodents agreed to enter negotiations, but the SPQR's transition from CivClassic to CivRealms—which includes a change in its constitution and a shift to a republican government—stalled any progress.

Murder of Beni_Shapiro and Secession of Arcadia

Early on July 9th, a player with the username OliveTheCat murdered Beni_Shapiro, a prominent member of Vasticus. OliveTheCat was pearled, and it was revealed that he was a friend of some of the Rodents from another Minecraft server; it was apparently a prank to cause his friends grief after he overheard them talking about CivRealms in a private Discord. His friends vouched for him and payed his reparations, whereupon he was freed and told that he was banned from Alexandria and the SPQR.

Shortly afterwards, the members OlliveTehCat and FlipsTheSlayer1 abruptly informed the other Rodents that they would be seceding as Arcadia, claiming a tower that they had built within Erimos using Rodentian resources. Furthermore, they informed the other Rodents that Arcadia had been admitted as a province of the SPQR in the course of just a few hours. Apparently, they had claimed to NovaCeasar that OliveTheCat was actually a Rodent, not a friend who had not played CivRealms before; in exchange for this apparent betrayal of their fellow countrypeople, NovaCeasar expedited their admission to the SPQR and assured protection of their building in Erimos, which had not authorized it.

Geography

Rodentia lays claim to roughly 33,500 m2 in the savannah on the southern coast of the continent. The settlement is centered around a small lake, around which crops grow well.
