Acolytes

The Acolytes was a religious state in the Shattered Sea of Plagos lead by St.Acol. They followed the "11 revelations of Acol" and Ouroborosism. Their main mission is to bring balance to the world and live in relative peace with only minor conflicts. Their capital was St.Acol's Fort, it was the largest city because it was the only one besides the military camps in Eldham.



Founding
The Acolytes were founding by St.Acol on June 28th 2021, aka year 1 in the Acolyte Calendar, at the very spot where St.Acol had his revelations. St.Acol mined for three days straight to buy the island from Solitudeam. He named it St.Acol's Fort, where he would build the framework for the capital and when his followers joined him they built up the beautiful island that stands today

The Avalon war
The Avalon War was a conflict between Niedea and The Acolytes over the island of Avalonian Republic. Baronov had sold the island to The Acolytes for 35k, unbeknownst to The Acolytes the island was claimed by a single person, and on the very last day that the claim was supposed to expire Niedea dragged him on and said that they had a treaty where they could annex Avalon whenever they wanted if Bardonia ever fell or was unable to protect it (why not annex it immediately). Niedea invaded St.Acol's Fort and slaughtered everyone on the island only losing 1 soldier after he was trapped by St.Acol and his Acolytes in a housing complex and kicked from the game for spawn killing after they kept throwing themselves at him. The war ended when The Acolytes recognized Niedea's claim on Avalon.

Anti-Bardonian coalition
The Acolytes participated in the coalition. thats it really. nothing special. just St.Acol

Zemlya crisis
The Zemlya Crisis was a crisis for The Acolytes where Zemlya ended up taking over St.Acol's Fort. It all started when Baronov allowed some of its citizen to set up a vassal state called Zemlya, now this wouldn't have been a problem if they hadn't expanded to the border of St.Acol's Fort only being separated by the plugin's 1 chunk distance feature. This caused tension between The Acolytes and Zemlya, but St.Acol tried to alleviate it by fishing with them and giving them alcohol and signing a NAP with their overlord Baronov which specifically included them in the treaty. It seemed that things were cooling down until Zemlya accused The Acolytes of spying on them after they had sent a councilman to try and be accepted as a citizen of The Acolytes and was thoroughly kicked out of the discord. St.Acol tried to tell them that they weren't worth spying on but they wouldn't listen, and when asked who they thought the spy was they couldn't give an answer. It became clear that this was all just a ruse to be able to go to war. While all this was happening a group of four Acolytes so tired from the 1 war they ever fought in said that they were moving to eldham claiming that The Acolytes were dying as a nation for a while (it wasn't but even when St.Acol asked them for advice on how to get more members and city planning cus, y'know they're in the High Council, they would never give any advice and just sat around) So St.Acol and his loyalists prepared an rp war with Zemlya stating that if he lost then Zemlya would get St.Acol's Fort and would give the Eldham colonies 50k. When the day came, after waiting 2 hours St.Acol and his loyalists coudn't get on because the queue was too long, being a man of his word St.Acol gave Zemlya the victory since he couldn't show up.

Eldham independence
The Acolyte Colonies in Eldham or TACE for short declared independence under the rule of Falcon as a constitutional monarchy during the Zemlya Crisis. This independence was short lived however since they couldn't get anybody to join them and their government was horribly ineffective
