Volterra: Difference between revisions

The United Volterran Empire is a Constitutional Monarchy located in the [[Elion]] shard. It is run by an emperor, a senate, and a Chamber of Delegates. It currently has approximately 56 citizens, with roughly 20 consistently active.

Volterra was a well established nation in [[Civcraft 2.0|2.0]] as well as [[Civcraft 3.0|3.0]]. In 2.0, Volterra ruled over the towns of : '''Volterra''',** Nigeria**, '''Vroehm''',** Ember Island''',''' Vienna''',''' Eslar**, '''Port Norden''', '''Eslenti''', '''[[Icenia (Civcraft 2.0)|Icenia]]''',** Vallera**, '''Vendemmia''', '''Ancora''', '''Trinith''', '''Mistogora''', and '''Lumber Ridge'''. Volterra was the capitol in 2.0 with Icenia being historically the second largest town in terms of population size.

Volterra returned to Civcraft in 3.0 with a modified government style with [[Mickale]] at the helm of the nation. Volterra now rules over the towns of: '''Volterra City''','''Victoria''','''Province''','''Fenix''','''Vendemmia''','''The Nutshack''','''Vallera''' and '''Project Valery'''. Historically the towns of '''Vallera''','''Province''',and '''Project Valery''' were independent nations who decided to join the Empire of Volterra in September of 2016.

After the end of 2.0 it was decided that Volterra would return to Civcraft upon 3.0 with some changes in the government. Between [[Civtemp]] and 3.0 these changes were made including a new government system that called for a Chamber of Delegates which would consist of representatives from towns within the Empire of Volterra and the Imperial Senate, which would represent the national capitol of Volterra City only. On top of this all was Mickale, the longtime emperor of the nation through 2.0.

Early on several towns were planned outside of the Volterra City including a Myan town by LPTSO, Vendemmia by Jhill and his mom, and Victoria by [[ChrisChrispie]]. Victoria was planned to be a less planned city for new players right outside of Victoria City and was designed to be a continuation of the city of Icenia, which had a storied past within and out of the Empire of Volterra. Vendemmia was planned to be the agricultural hub of the empire much like it was in 2.0.

After the delay was over and 3.0 was put online, many Volterrans rushed from shard to shard looking for a lake to settle by. The first spot they picked was located in Tjikio[[Tjikko]] -the taiga shard. Immediately a landing shack with beds was set up alongside the lake and Volterrans went out to start solidifying the land claims. However, shortly after moving into the land the large nation of Concordia decided to set up near the Volterran colony. Wishing to avoid conflict, it was decided that Volterra would move to a lake in Elion that Herbie had found during his search for a suitable vault location. Upon moving to the lake Volterrans encountered [[TKON]] and another group of natives.

It was discovered shortly after establishing a flash town upon the lake that a group of Youtubers and raiders called TKON who had set up base on what is today the Center Island and Victoria, were extorting a group of native that had also settled along the banks of Lake Victoria. It was decided that TKON must be removed to protect the natives who were being extorted. Thus the LORD came down from the heavens and said the LORD to Mickale "I will punish what TKON did to the Volterrans and natives opposing them on the way, when they came up out of TjikioTjikko. Now go and smite TKON, and utterly destroy all that they have;do not spare them but kill both man and woman, infant and sucking, ox and sheep, horse and chicken" So Mickale went and followed the LORDS advice, and Mickale destroyed TKON and he took their fort on the center island for himself without utterly destroying it. But Mickale and his army also spared the buildings and the food that TKON had and all that was good and would not utterly destroy them;all that was despised and worthless they utterly destroyed. Thus the LORD looked down upon Mickale and was not pleased for Mickale did not utterly destroy all of TKON and the LORD said "Mickale have you not followed my orders? TKON is not utterly destroyed. For you have sinned against your LORD and not followed his direct word I now curse you with thus: TKON shall respawn in the shard you departed and a man named Reiko shall destroy everything that is holy to you." and the LORD wept for his favorite son had sinned against him. Later TKON would move up to Tjikio, cause issues for Concordia, and eventually cause one of the first major wars in 3.0 between The Tjikio Hermetic Federation and Iria. Also the prophesy about Reiko came true for about most of the shards.

Also during this time Volterra made relations with its neighbor [[Gensokyo]] and [[Alpoko-]] both down the river from Volterra-and established its first network of guard towers along the nations border.
