Hollenkreis

Hollenkreis
Hollenkreis is the northmost city of the Amberian-Urcastle Commonwealth and oversees the region of the same name. Previously, the land hosted the old town of Bluddenbog of the Hollenkreis Republic. Now, it contains a budding port town that is beginning to lay the foundation for it's long and prosperous future.

The city is built on an island separated from the mainland by a small river, with the mountains of the Hollenkreis region on the other side containing our fortress known as Drachenstein. Recently, the members of Hollenkreis and Drachenstein combined their efforts to develop the land together after talks were conducted between M_Fredi (Leader of Hollenkreis) & Kratos (Leader of Drachenstein) on how to share it. This can be best seen through the architecture as they begin the process of merging both of our styles to create a common building language for the region. The majority of Hollenkreis was built using a mix of colonial American and Dutch style while Drachenstein was constructed using a dark nether dimension style that most resembles the original town of Bluddenbog.

Reconstruction (June 2021 - July 2021)
After being abandoned by it's original settlers, the land of Hollenkreis was integrated into Osteri Plagosi Trading Company (OPTC). Under M_Fredi's oversight, efforts to redevelop the region began. Progress was slow at first with limited funds and the lack of manpower to build back the city to where it was before.

However, the addition of foughtspark37 and yomaster28 drastically changed the prospects for the town as progress greatly accelerated soon after they joined Hollenkreis. With the architectural knowledge of M_Fredi and expert resource gathering skills of the newcomers, the city was reinvigorated to complete several building projects such as the iconic Lighthouse, post office, shoreline tavern, and Inn.

Economic Boom (July 2021 - August 2021)
During the many building projects following the joining of foughtspark37 & yomaster28, it was apparent that there was no longer a shortage of manpower but now a lack of funding to keep up with the exponential growth of the city. This inspired them to take the leap of faith and capitalize on their resource gathering skills they possessed by starting the Hollen Trading Company. The goal was to establish the infrastructure to supply the world with any resource it desired to support bigger and better world building projects.

In the early days, the company made a lot of unprecedented moves for the region of Hollenkreis that would later pay off. The first move was the establishment of the inaugural Hollenkreis store, originally located in the Lighthouse. This was the first instance where the region opened its gates to any travelers that were looking for highly sought after products.

Along with this new storefront, they launched an easy to use order system to take custom requests from anyone in the world. Packed into one service, customers could expect the Hollen Trading Company to take care of the gathering, delivery, and payment without any hassle on their end. This would prove to be a labor intensive process but also lucrative for the bustling town. Eventually demand became so great that the company began opening its arms to accepting workers as well to help keep up with the flood of orders.

Crusadon
Nearly 2 years after the reconstruction and economic boom of Hollenkreis, LukaFSB founds the city of Crusadon overtop of a previous settlement that had been almost completely destroyed in a previous unknown battle.

Crusadon had grown to nearly 60 members in under a month and had joined the county of Hollenkreis under the nation of Greater Plagos.

The town mainly uses a Midevil building style to fit in with nearby builds.
