Premise:
Imagine: Eulyros. More than just the newly
settled land of three powerful political entities and countless natives.
Eulyros is the idea- that rules and systems should NOT limit the
imagination if the will of the player is strong enough. True- Eulyros is
a speck of land, north of Arminia (the home to Kusalom, the Church, and
Landoria) but it is also the playground of the Minecraft player who
yearns for a land to make it what they will! Eulyros is freedom in an RP
server. So then, will you become a fierce native fighting for his
homeland, a brave Kusalomian or Landorian settler looking to conquer the vast riches of Eulyros, a righteous paladin of the Church of The Holy
Cube, or something else entirely!? YOU DECIDE.

The Settlers of Eulyros:

The Kingdom of Landoria:

This kingdom represented the heartland of the Old Country. It stood for
the whole of Arminian agriculture and other nature-based industries. It
had a thriving population and a militia based army that could be called
to action by King Elessar Shadow-Hunter in times of need- in addition to
the professional army of its vassal, The Duchy of Kusalom. After years
of unprecedented growth (usually by peacefully absorbing neighboring
states into the whole, while largely leaving them intact) and
prosperity, it began to stagnate. A desire to, “keep things as they are”
lead to fewer and fewer expansions and new laws. Eventually several of
the vassal states split off from the Landorian government and declared
their independence following the death of King Elessar. Though this had
been building for some time, it happened so suddenly that the new King
Everin was unable to rally his civilian army to retake the states before they became established by themselves- or worse. . . be absorbed by the
now independent Kusalom.

Weakened by the loss of their vassal states and struggling to hold the
core heartland together, the young King Everin called upon his officials
to invest heavily in the military, a faucet of Landorian life that had
always been an-aside, or an afterthought within the royal court. Pouring
a vast fortune into a more professional army with the highest quality
weapons, armor, and training facilities, the King’s gambit succeeded in
creating a force capable of holding its own- and defeating the
longstanding military traditions of neighboring Kusalom. Therefore, the
former vassal-states of Landoria, wishing to avoid a military takeover
by Kusalom in the future, (as many of the former vassal states held no
favorable opinion of the Kusalomic administration’s expansionist
attitude); signed renewed vassal-treaties and trade agreements with
their former, and now current, parent and quickly flourished under a renewed Landorian banner, their taxes going to the impressive Landorian war-machine.
Having annexed nearly all of the states that declared independence
during the latter years of the reign of the great King, Elessar
Shadow-Hunter; his successor cast off the Kingship and enthroned himself
as Emperor Everin Shadow-Hunter in the year 545. Now, her strength
recovered, and indeed-greater than ever, Landoria seeks to conquer the
rich lands of neighboring Eulyros.
To that end, Everin commanded the fielding of an expedition in 548 to be placed under the command of the celebrated veteran Landorian commander, Madfast Hillborn. As the expedition set out to the North they
encountered little resistance and construction began on the Capital of
New Aidolon, in memory of a land from Landoria’s past, long abandoned.
From this new city- the influence of Landoria could not be denied, soon
the entirety of Eulyros would be under the command of a grand Empire.

Then again. . .

The Duchy of Kusalom, once a stalwart ally of the Landorian Kingdom,
fell away from its subservient attitude following the death of beloved
Lord-Duke Nicholas Fandon in the year 540, and in 542 it too seceded
from the Kingdom and set out to conquer the lands of its fellow vassals.
The Wars of Kusalomic Annexation lasted from 542-545, and when they
were completed both Landoria and Kusalom emerged as the two dominant
powers of Arminia, having split the land between them. Emboldened by his
success and envious of his Landorian counterpart, young Lord-Duke,
Dorian Agalor Fandon, proclaimed himself Emperor of Kusalom and began to
greedily monitor the more temperate lands that belonged to the
Landorians for any sign of weakness.
Then it isn’t any surprise that as the Landoria Expedition prepared for
its sojourn into Eulyros, a counter-part was being created in Kusalom.
To be led by the Emperor himself- a force of the fearsome Kusalomic
Knights, builders, laborers, architects, and some of the greatest
scientific minds marched northward, and with great bravado they built an
Imperial highway from Kusalom Keep as they went to send a message to
Landoria: “Eulyros belongs to Kusalom.” Settling deeper into the country
then the Landorians- and locating the vast snowy peaks way up in the
hinterlands, the capital of Vhor’Daen was founded.

Church of the Holy Cube:

The Church of the Holy Cube is an ancient organization that predates
most of the known kingdoms of today. It has roots in some of the
earliest texts of recorded history, and its influence is far-reaching.
The worship of the Church focuses around a holy block, the first block,
through which the rest of the world is formed by the Gods. Though both
Landoria and Kusalom rule themselves, they both host the Church of the
Holy Cube as their state religion and have numerous temples, cathedrals,
and churches throughout their settlements.
Many years ago, an enigmatic man named Bael Shadesorrow rose to the
office of High Priest, and The Church changed dramatically under it. It
has taken a much more active (and even aggressive) stance in current
events, moving from subtle suggestions to subtle mandates. Over time the
Church has grown into a sort of nation in its own right, even going so
far as to move its headquarters from Marseni (the capital of Landoria)
to a new holy city. As its influence continued to grow, the reigning
High Priest became as much a player in politics as the leaders of both
nations. The Church's power continued to grow unabated even through the
schism between Kusalom and Landoria and their eventual peace, due mainly
to the fact that Bael continued to lead the church with a strict lead
for many more years than it is natural. Rumors abound that the High
Priest was either not human or extending his life through unnatural
means, though little if anything is known about his personal life or
details. All that Bael has said to adress these rumors is that the faith
and furore of the Church and the Holy Cube sustains him.
Because of its close ties with both empires, the Church was inevitably
brought along with them both as they expanded to the new world. Church
Priests accompany the leaders of both factions wherever they go, subtly
trying to manipulate the course of events in favor of The Holy Cube. The
church has no official settlements in the new land besides its bases
within Kusalomic and Landorian towns, though rumors abound of a holy
city called Ipsus being constructed out in the wilds.

Donations:
Whether or not to ask for donations was always a source of discomfort
among the Administration here at EoE. We came from a few disheartening
experiences ourselves, and didn't want things to turn south when we were
running a server. However, while we wish we could keep everything
running without looking to our players for some help- we would be hard
pressed to pass up a thoughtfully given donation.

As per our policy of full disclosure, our server costs at the time of
this writing are $32 a month (pretty good for all we have right?). We
would appreciate any amount that someone willingly and- unsolicited by
ourselves, gives to help us meet this monthly expense. Know that this
money will ONLY be spent on server-related costs. If we are thinking
about an upgrade from our provider- or advertising space on a website-
we will hold votes on the forums; besides that, we will pay our server
costs and keep you informed about the amount within the fund- and the
costs we incur, should they change. To that end, and to offer a bit of
incentive, yet not spoil the robust experience that EoE offers all of
its players, we have devised a donation tier system that is both fair
and inexpensive. Below you will find the aforementioned tiers, and their
added benefits.

Tier #5: Yeoman- ($5 Donation)
