Athesne's Wreck

"The Growing Capital of Athesne's Wreck" is a very bustling industrial town that never stops growing. The town belongs to the server's owner, MrShelbyBlue.

Pronunciation
Athesne's Wreck can be pronounced "Uh-thez-nees Rek"

Derivation
The name Athesne's Wreck derives from the ancient Athesne boat found washed up on the North Eastern pointe near the town's commercial district. The Athesne is one of several ships in the area that appear to have been sunk, possibly in an ancient war. The Athesne Wreck Site is currently the site of an ongoing archeological dig to uncover the mysteries of the Athesnian ancestors.

Founding
Athesne's Wreck was originally founded by MrShelbyBlue in 6 A.C. (August 30, 2020). The founding of the location was based on the finding of the Athesne, a beached ship located in the town's North East corner. MrShelbyBlue determined the location to be a vital point in the future transportation and goods exchange of the server, as it is within the very edge of the farthest yelling distance from Crossefa, and sits on the corner of 3 different biome types.

The town originally began as a lone tent to house the Athesne Trading Comapany's llamas that were being used for large mercantile exchanges between the town of Crossefa and Athesne, to stock the Crossfa Cavern Company's ChestShops. This tent was located on the very corner of present day Boardwalk and Warf Street. The first true resident of Athesne was mrTschnitzel, who immediately began working towards developing a brewing company, and started their iconic blackstone build.

Early Tyee
After the death of the crossefan mayor [MrShelbyBlue] in the beginning of the nether road project, the nation of [Tyee] and the town of [Crossefa] were both put into the hands of [mjsully]. This initiated the search of [MrShelbyBlue] for a good location to start a new town, as the map had not yet been fully discovered. After the starting of the town and hiring of [mrTschnitzel] as the town sheriff, a new way to the old town was found. This discovery prompted the annexation of Athesne's Wreck into the [Tyee] nation.

Many projects were planned initially to link the two major towns. A rudimentary pathway and railway were proposed, but after the development of the [Tribecan Nether Highway], and the [Crosseffa Station Fire], these travel systems were abandoned and not yet revisited. Regardless, a great resource trade began between the town of [Tyee] including the diamond, spruce, and cobble trades; and eventually lead to Athesne becoming a main hub for trade world wide.

Dlemandor War
Later, following the death of mayor [mjsully] of [Crossefa], [Purply7] took over the nation of [Tyee], and [mjsully] found and joined Athesne's Wreck. As a result of [Purply7]'s interests in world domination, and growing tensions with the [Snef] empire, Athesne knew it needed to maintain its neutrality to keep its bustling economy running in full force.

Once the leader of [Tyee] declared war against [Snef] officially, Athesne seceded from the Confederation of [Tyee], to refocus on maintaining its ranking as a mercantile hub. Though many locals disagreed with the decision, the town of Athesne still stands today as a testament to the decision, where as [Crossefa] has been tattered and left to ruin.

Founding of Caony
The founding of Caony was controversial at first, and resulted from the initiation of the Dlemandor War between Tyee and Snef. The building of Caony over time became a true testament to neutrality in a world at war, and enabled great economic growth for the area.

Biomes
Originally founded on the beach of an ocean biome, birch forest, and swamp lands, Athesne's Wreck is poised to be easily located by new players in the Northern region of the map. This tri-biome corner allows players to locate Athesne's Wreck by following the central swamp biome North West, the central birch forest biome North to an ocean biome then East, or from the northern oceans south until they reach either the swamp or the birch biome.

As a result of these biomes, Athesne's Wreck is known primarily for its oak and birch wood production, some stone production, and high wheat growth rates. Potatoes unfortunately do not grow well in Athesne's Wreck, and as a result, the Athesne Potato Famine ravaged the area in 20 A.C..

Location
The city is located relatively central in the northern hemicube of the map. This centrality has encouraged many other towns to build in the area, as newly spawned players in the northern region of the map are typically contactable. These towns include Arbor Waters and Darcmoor, among others. Consequentially, Athesne's Wreck has become somewhat of a trading hub for many players, as it's a short distance to these other towns with differing resources and populations.

Demographics
These refer to Athesne's population at it's peak of over 48 players.

New Players

Farmers
With the exceptional growing conditions of Athesne, agriculture is a primary employment opportunity for the harbor town. An estimated 21 players maintained their own farms within the city's limits.

Merchants
Mercantile jobs, while a large part of the town's economy was made up primarily of a lower number of players due to most trading being done with foreign merchants. The total number of known merchants is estimated to be only 8 players, and this number drastically dropped as newer players began venturing out to the newer towns in the world.

Builders
As a quickly developing community, an estimated 12 players have worked in or on local construction projects.

Commerce
There are two main commercial districts within the town, one around Warf Street, and one in the new developments in the Capital District to the North. The Warf Street area, also known as the Wreck, Town Hall, or Warf District is particularly noted for The Friendly Fox, The Crimson Inn, the Athesne Trading Co., and the Tilted Clipper.

Culture
Athesne's Wreck is a great place to meet others and for new players to travel to the first time they start playing on this server.

Anglear Congregation
The Anglear Congregation has setup their new home in Athesne's Wreck after the Great Anglear Fire in Crossefa reduced their main hub to rubble. The Anglear Congregation built the Artifact on Boardwalk early on in the town's history, and more recently the Anglear Cathedral which is located in the capital district. Both of which are sites of Anglear power in the form of nether portals and spawning locations for players' initial spawn into the world.

The Llama and Dragon Angles of Athesne's Wreck
In the year 50 A.C. (April 13th, 2021 in EST) the great Llama and Dragon Angles appeared to the Agnlear Pinnacle, MrShelbyBlue and Ryellean around the Anglear Cathedral of Athesne's Wreck durring its construction. In the fray of holy light and speed, the Dragon Angle Snek did pull Lolma the Llama Angle through the air by a lead. In mere seconds, the holy onlookers watched as Snek did kill Lolma with their might and speed. The onlookers were able to recover the Sacred Hide of Lolma which is now displayed in the Anglear Cathedral of Athesne's Wreck. Below are the transcripts of the discussion in the server on that holy night.

Logging Policies
In the early days of Athesne, mayor MrShelbyBlue declared that all trees in the surrounding area should not be replanted after being chopped. The intention being to prepare the surrounding lands for future town growth and expansions. This caused major deforestation of the birch tree and mangrove forests of the hills and swamps in the area, and has left some of the area rather dangerous for new players to obtain logs.

Eruption of Mt. Tea
Mt. Tea, a large cobblestone cast created by mrTschnitzel was created in retaliation to the damage done after the fall of what was originally Foodteria. This period was known as the post-Dlemendor War period, and was ultimately active as Terrorteria rose from the ashes of Foodteria (See: the Dawn of Terrorteria).

Mt. Tea is believed to be the largest cobblestone casting after the Terrorteria casting which completely engulfed the once town of Terrorteria. While Mt. Tea was originally held as a stain on the beautiful natural swamp lands East of Athesne, it quickly became a resource as a cobblestone shortage began to hit the quickly developing town of Tribeca and others across the world.

Government
Athesne's Wreck is a member of the nation of Caony.

Nether Highway
The Caony-Tribeca nether highway can be accessed through the Athesne's Wreck Anglear Cathedral in the capital district. It is believe that the portal was opened through the power of Anglea, a deity of the Anglear faith. The nether highway connects much of the nation of Caony, and some other neighboring individual cities and cities from other nations.

It is good to note that the nether highway utilizes an iceboat layout to quickly move players around the nation of Caony.

Nether Outpost
The Athesne's Wreck nether outpost can be reached utilizing the Artifact on Boardwalk, an Anglear Congregation shrine. The nether outpost is notably connected to many roads leading to nearby towns, and has an access point to the nether highway.
