Latteras

Information
Latteras was a small, independent town in the arctic region of Tortuga. It was founded in 20th of August, 2021, by Anothername and CosmicBomb. It had a small population, and had a distaste for outsiders. Latteras also has an alias, namely "Viridis Urbem".

Layout
Latteras was divided into 5 primary sections, all with their different focuses and geographical differences. Structures were not locked into specific sections, but they were recommended to the inhabitants about what to build, and where.

The Plaza
The plaza served as a place of gathering, and had a dashboard. Directly linked to the plaza was the primary storage, where most items got stashed. Right next to the plaza lied a cocoa bean farm, where said cocoa beans grow and got harvested when they're fully ripe. These beans were used for food, or dyes. There was also a wheat farm, but it was rarely used.

Northern Section
The northern section was primarily dedicated to housing. Within the northern section lies standard housing, and the home of the founder and co-founder. The Founder's house was surrounded by sweet berry bushes, which served as an emergency food supply. Not much else is to note of this area.

Southern Section
The southern section was dedicated to the guarding perimeter and path into Latteras. Most use of this section is seen by travellers, or inhabitants who frequently stand guard in the tower located on a small hillside next to a house with a potato-farm.

Western Section
The western section was one of the smallest sections, excluding the plaza to be in Latteras. This section was primarily entertainment and enjoyment.

Border
Not classifying as a section, the surrounding area around Latteras didn't have much, except for a small pitstop store called The Latteras Selling Point. Here, foods and other items that could be useful for traveling were sold for cheap-ish prices.

Culture
Latteras consisted of largely xenophobic inhabitants who rarely interact with the outside world. Everyone had their different beliefs and religious followings, but they all shared the thought that outsiders always bring trouble. There was open access to the town, but entering will have put you under constant surveillance until you leave.

Hierarchy
Latteras had a somewhat strict, but open hierarchy. Everybody was an equal, but different people may be assigned tasks or jobs. There were still positions of power, such as the founders who influenced most requests of joining and constructions.

Economy
There was little economy in Latteras, most transactions usually being done with luxury items or materials, such as alcohol, minerals and foreign plant life. There were no taxes (despite CosmicBomb having usually said so), and all expansions were community-funded. Trading with foreigners usually only happened if said items cannot be made by the inhabitants, or if the items were absolutely necessary to the current situation.

History
Latteras was founded on the 20th of August, 2021. A short while after CosmicBomb joined the server, Her and Anothername began founding Latteras as a safe-place for nature to grow untampered in a cold climate. Later, as they expanded, it turned into a closed town with a few more members joining. Majority of construction was done by CosmicBomb, whilst resources and general planning was done by Anothername. On the 21st of August, 2021, it peculiarly stopped snowing in the center of town. There's no said reason how or why it stopped, but its suggested that it has to do with the inhabitants nurturing the location into the habitat of a Plains biome. Not much else has happended since, but the town still continues to expand and grow.

It seems all the inhabitants have disappeared. The town is in ruins, most dont intend on returning. This is the end of Latteras, at least it seems this way for now.
