Juvieus

Juvieus is a co-founding member of the Free Knights of Gemellon, an ancient order whose members entered Eldham 109 months after Travia's Fall.

Together with the other guild members FredBurton, Wiegeht_s and Phildelphia he founded the city Wilmund in the lands of Yunria.

He has reached fame and wealth in Eldham as the founder of the racing championships Formula Eldham, as well as for inventing and running Stoneworks Hockey. Both of these sport championships reached unprecedented amounts of players, saw hundreds participate in events, and pathed the way for other event series to follow.

He went down in Stonework's history as the "Pioneer and Father of Stoneworks Sports".

Pre-Eldham
Juvieus was born into Minecraft a long, long long time ago in an ancient, long forgotten realm, approximately 21 months before Travia's Fall. It was also in this old realm that he got acquainted with FredBurton. He first made appearance at Castle Blombach, which was created by cyberkeiler. He initially moved in one of the towers, but soon ventured out of the castle's dominion and dug an underground pathway which later became known as The Great Tunnel. It was later in that tunnel that Juvieus excavated his very first diamond. After hours of digging he reached a cave and climbed out of it into daylight, where he found himself surrounded by smooth hills. Flocks of cattle, pigs and chicken were roaming the grass. He really liked it here and laid foundation of his first ever settlement Tierhügel, meaning "Animal Hills". The settlement was to be followed by a row of other towns and projects that Juvieus built. Some of them alone, others together with great friends.

It was until the ancient world of Novomundo that he and FredBurton were joined by wiegeht_s and Phildelphia, which would proof to be their very best friends for the years to come. Together they formed the Free Knights of Gemellon and created not just the city, but the Great Empire Gemellon. There even was a time when Juvieus and FredBurton were worshipped as gods by their subjects, who had erected a temple for them. But a fews weeks later they initiated the construction of the Grand Cathedral St. Marian to end this paganism among their citizens. It was also in that period that nations formed for the first time and proud kingdoms fought each other in war. The Four Knights and their affiliated citizens succeded in this new world order, defeating their arch-enemy Travia in a fierce war. It was the 12th of October 2012 when Gemellon obliterated Travia and chose this day as the beginning of their time-counting. Strengthened by this victory, the four became inseparable.

Following many more years in several realms, with various other towns, buildings and adventures, Juvieus eventually set foot on Eldham soil in November 2021, 109 months after Travia's Fall.

First month
November 17th 2021, Juvieus was summoned by his fellow guild members to join them on a savanna hillside they'd discovered. Together they deemed the location fit to found their new town Wilmund and joined the kingdom of Yunria that same day. In the coming days, Juvieus helped constructing the town which he, together with FredBurton, wiegeht_s and PHILdelphia, led as counselor. He also drafted the City Codex which was later approved by fellow town leaders.

In the first week he tried himself in the arts of brewery. None of his homemade brews had great quality, in fact quite the opposite as they instantaneously blinded those who drank them. Luckily everyone regained their eyesight after a few seconds, releasing Juvieus from charges for mass poisoning.

November 28th he fought in the Massacre of Auralich after following Yunria's call to defend the small island state. He appealed for a better organization of troops and made several suggestions for strategy before battle, but was left unheard by Auralich's officials. Not following Juvieus's wise council, Auralich was overwhelmed and slaughtered within minutes. Juvieus was killed as well, but fortunately could manage to salvage his remains as well as those of Yunrian Minister of Defence, Drake. Juvieus's skull from the battle is buried below the Acacia of Life, while Drake's head was handed back to him.

Rise within Yunria
Following the defeat in Auralich, Yunria had announced a full reformation of its military. Juvieus was appointed General of the Yunrian Forces on December 3rd, giving him a high rank and responsibility in the reorganization process. He served in that position until Mid-January 2022, when the entire Yunrian nation and military were reorganized and revamped.

End of December 2021, Juvieus joined the Yunrian Financial Division and programmed their Stock Exchange system. YunEx was a success in its early days, which led to the stock exchange and entire division to merge with the former Bank of Uraka, now rebranded as Eldham Monetary Fund. Juvieus sold his automated spreadsheet system and began focusing on his new role as business owner of Formula Eldham.

In February, Juvieus was one of nine senators voted into the first democratic Parliament of Yunria, where he continued pushing democratic reforms and legislation.

On 5th of March, Juvieus participated in the defense of Karak. Serving as archer on top of the castle walls, he shot some good hits at the Aureunite aggressors.

When Yunria dissolved following the treason of various statesmen like Wardaddy, Nuada and abtprogamer, Juvieus declared Wilmund's secession from the failed nation that they had loved. After a short period they rejoined with their old neighbors of Drackar, who would soon claim many of the old Yunrian territories. Juvieus and the other Wilmund citizens turned their backs to any politics or national affairs, not participating in any elections, debates, disputes, wars or anything else that went on outside their beloved Wilmund city.

Unbothered by what happened around them in former Yunria and Drackar, they solely focused on their local development as well as their ever thriving Formula Eldham championship.

Founding Formula Eldham

In January 2022, Juvieus constructed a racetrack south of Wilmund and hosted the I. Wilmund Grand Prix. The event was attended by many drivers, especially Yunrians who enjoyed this little getaway from the current chaos in the nation's reform process. Inspired by the success of this first Grand Prix (which was won by FredBurton), the citizens of Wilmund organized Formula Eldham, the World Championships of ice boat racing. The project grew unexpectedly fast and dozens of players from all over Eldham wanted to participate. Soon Juvieus, wiegeht_s and FredBurton were able to live off their business.

They ran Formula Eldham for a few months until December 2022, organized dozens of race events, and hosted a total of five seasons of Championships. Already in February they started selling equity shares at various stock exchanges, and decided to sell most of their remaining shares in December. Juvieus stepped down from active management in December 2022 after selling almost all his remaining shares in order to focus on his new project of Stoneworks Hockey.

The sold company shares as well as the profits of almost 11 months of Formula Eldham made Juvieus a multi-millionaire. He peaked at 15th spot of richest people in Eldham.

Engagement for Wilmund's Independence
After the break with the traitors in Yunria in March 2022, Wilmund joined Drackar out of a lack of options. Their temporary independence was not acknowledged by the Diarchy and the town in no condition to fight a war, so consequently Juvieus agreed to accept Drackar's occupation of all Nathria.

Wilmund and Juvieus however never felt as part of Drackar, which didnt show any characteristics of an actual nation but was just an empty shell of PVP warriors claiming land.

As mayor of Wilmund, Juvieus consequently strived for its independence and succeeded in negotiations finally in August 2022. The Free City of Wilmund declared its independence, establishing a fully democratic system and electing Juvieus as its first Chancellor.

Juvieus held that position until March 2023, when he stepped down due to a longer vacation.

Inventing Stoneworks Hockey
see main article: Stoneworks Hockey

Juvieus, wiegeht_s and FredBurton had already built the boat racing competitions around Formula Eldham when Juvieus first experimented with a way to play a teamsport similar to football on Stoneworks. In April 2022, he discovered the concept of using an empty boat as a puck and knockback enchanted tools as hockey stick. The only challenge was that the only items which could be enchanted with knockback would damage and ultimately break the boat after a few hits. Thereby, the community was unable to obtain proper hockey sticks but still gathered a community of 90 members.

Juvieus was still motivated to host a league and create a competitive teamsport game on Stoneworks and was almost ready to dedicate funds to buy a custom weapon, which would deal 0 damage to boats and still posess knockback enchantments. This changed in November, when wooden custom weapons were announced and Juvieus immediately knew that this was the technology he needed. He immediately crafted wooden weaponry, enchanted it with knockback and experimented. After confirming that his concept worked, he finanlized the basic rules of Stoneworks Hockey. The game is played using knockback enchanted wooden gladiuses on a 39x25 large field of ice, with two goals and rules quite similar to football.

After convincing his old friends wiegeht_s and FredBurton to try out this new game, they finally played and agreed to play as well in a team with him. Juvieus kickstarted a new hockey community, made use of Formula Eldham's popularity to host the Launch Tournament in December 2022, which 16 teams signed up for. During the course of December, the sport gained notable popularity, with new clubs, players, and stadiums built and dozens of matches being played every day between Christmas and New Years Eve.
