Athiel

Description
Athiel is a fairly big city. It is rich in resources such as sweet berries and potatoes. Athiel's buildings have a medieval style to them. -legendflame8215 The New Member

Day one
Athiel was founded on Tuesday, August the 17th, 2021 by Zachary Castellan in what was the Tortugan region of Ato. Zachary was sent by Shark Greatwhite of Atopolis to found a town so that he could extend the influence of the Atoans in the hopes of establishing a core cultural region which would serve as the foundation of the future Atoan Republic. Three from Atopolis decided to migrate with Zachary to give him a base of citizens to grow the town. ShatteredOverse, Captain Marshmallow, and Rogue were the first three citizens. A Governmental and Residential District were immediately established in the form of a viking longhouse in front of the gate, and Zachary saying, "Just build your houses in that birch forest right there. Captain set up the plots.". ArticFrost02, a very important member of the town(and future first member of the Council) joined the same day the town was founded(Artic if you see this, really appreciate your help and friendship, kill it in uni bro).

Early days and the council
Projects Started: Wall(Artic), Institutional District(delegated to citizens), Northeastern Fort(Landolakes), Farming District(Rogue and Ritter).

Projects completed: Thane's Longhouse(Zach), Northeastern Fort(Landolakes), Market(Iustin), Farming District(Rogue and Ritter).

In the time following the initial founding of Athiel Zachary and his citizens(not shattered though he helped with nothing) grinded to recruit as many people as they could and within a week they had 20 people trusted in the claim. among these were the three original Council members, ArticFrost02, Landolakez, and Iustin(Ian8sWasHere). These three individuals would prove crucial in helping Zachary to keep the town growing and alive. Iustin is the best recruiter(except for Shark) in Sorligste, and he recruited many people with Zachary(I work hard to recruit but Iustin is just... wow). Iustin would be one of the three people chosen to be on the committee that would soon become the Council. Artic was named Steward a few days after the town was founded. After a week, Lando was name Captain of the Guard and Iustin the Finance Minister. The Council was born.

The town grew and saw great success initially. However, soon after the Atoan Republic was formed, growth in Athiel began to stagnate. The town had enough people to survive, but Zachary was frustrated by the lack of recruits. He had grown busy and stressed IRL, and decided to delete discord and quit minecraft altogether. It was here that the Council's ability to lead would be greatly tested, as the town's principal leader disappeared.

Also I think Acey(LordAcey13) joined during this time. He is a Council member.

Reign of the council
A Council Member will have to write this as I genuinely do not have any idea what happened during this time other than that the wall made a lot of progress, and Acey built an arena and barracks for us. also a vineyard was made. and a statue of me was finished halfway until i came back. talk about reviving too early

Constitution and the Serevos Issue
Projects started: Observatory(Megazor13), Courthouse(TheEmeraldMMOS), Western Fort(Acey), Southern Fort(Lando), Animal breeding cave(rowboat_), Library(ClevererBog), Northern Fort Extension(Wakkawoo), Community Storage(Curzee), Waterfront(Iustin, Acey, Lando), Temple to Fesdros(mrblueflu), Road Expansions(The EmeraldMMOS), Eastern Residential District(Iustin),

On October 23rd, 2021, after being presumed actually dead irl by his server mates, and a funeral being held for him, Zachary Castellan logged on to Stoneworks for the first time in a month. He still did not have a discord, he looked around, found his grave in Atopolis, and decided that the time had come. He redownloaded discord, and, after explaining the past month of his life, he took up the helm of Jarl of Athiel once more. With his return he and the Council ushered in a new golden age of activity, recruitment, and construction. Much was completed in this time.

Upon Zach's return he realized that there was no procedure for his government to run, so he set to work crafting the Constitution of Athiel. This Document made provision for the transfer of power to a new Jarl if need be. The Constitution was approved by the Council and signed by Zachary.

The city of Athiel rested on the border of the Republic of Ato and Serevos, the country formed by Atopolis' rival, Norvos; and Frost, while running his wall around the city, enclosed a portion of desert. When Serevos discovered it, they were insistent on the wall being torn down. The Council spent a while dealing with this, but it never came to a head, as Elzaress the Terrible overthrew the government of Serevos, and renamed it The Empire of Leveros. The Empire's new government forgot about the dispute and quickly shifted their focus on suspending free speech in their discords because people were speaking against them. After a few days, Shark and friends rallied the people of Leveros against Elzaress, forced her and her sympathizers out of Leveros, and established the GSF. Zachary was elected Shoulder of State, and Emerald won our Senatorial election.

Everything went well for the new nation at first, but then the government sided against the Uldarashi rebels after a week. After the rebels took power, Elzaress, a friend of the new Uldarash government, convinced them to turn on the GSF. After 36 hours of discussing their options, and decided to merge with Tortugan Frostmarch.

Every issue that Athiel faced in this time had the name Serevos attached to it somewhere
