History-Pre Akratian Civil War

Apple Harbor was founded on March 15th, 2020 by Apy1z. He started the town seeking to make a prosperous harbor that could bring riches to it's inhabitants, himself included. It was on March 19th that Waymanites, a builder from Akratia, came to the town seeking a place to build away from the capital and it's focus on fighting, which he did not take part in. Waymanites soon got to work after gathering materials to build up a harbor for the town. He then got to work building shop houses, houses for new members of the town that had a shop on the first floor and a space to live in on the second floor. After finishing construction of the shop houses for immagrants to the town, Waymanites started construction on houses for the mayor and himself. Around this time, Apy built the Berry Memorial Garden, with statues of the Three Patriots as they were called and the emperor of the Akratian Empire, MW_Neoz.

Wall's were raised around the town by IceFish123, building them up to protect the town from a possible attack during the upcoming Leythe-Akratian War. Houses were built with most of them being built by Waymanites. New members joined the town also, leading to a growth in the city. The population boomed with refugee's from outside conflict starting to come in, with several coming from the towns that have been ravaged a lot, Akratia mainly.

It was on March 31st that during a visit to the town of Apple Harbor that Emperor Neoz received a pigeon from the State of Leythe declaring war. The citizens of Apple Harbor started to panic but they restored order and prepared to march with the Emperor the next day to Leythe along with several other soldiers of the Empire. Preparations were made including berry trenches that were made by Waymanites and enchanting of tools. Finally, they moved out to Leythe as the world started to fall apart due to an attack by Entropy.

It was when they finally arrived that they found the war declaration had been erased and the war was cancelled. The troops of Apple Harbor returned to Apple Harbor disgruntled but ready for the fighting when the war was declared again. There wasn't another war against Leythe however. Disgrunteled that Neoz wouldn't stop working to take back Leythe and incorperate it into the Empire again, several cities rebelled against the Empire. Instour, Tortuga, Emerald Isle, Redbay, and Garfist rebels that were seeking to take the City of Isheleryn back and declare the Garfist State of Greenstem, all of them rebelled and a civil war broke out. During this time, scared that Apple Harbor would become a target by the rebels, Waymanites consulted with Apy on a course of action that would change Apple Harbor.

History-Akratian Civil War

With fear that they would be targetted and that Apple Harbor would get destroyed by rebels, Waymanites after talking with Apy decided to declare Apple Harbor neutral in the civil war. If anyone from either side of the war needed a place of refuge, whether it be the rebels or Neoz himself, they could find refuge in Apple Harbor. The City would not be the basis of operations to either side and it would be a calm city. The citizens could participate in the fighting for either side, but they had to do it independently of the town. Waymanites was quoted saying, "We ask that neither side attacks us because we hold refugees. If you do, you must know that you will be attacking people who are willing to take you in to keep you safe from the outside conflict.
