Server History[]
WaferKnight (Poppy W.Knight) found the town on October 11th, the first thing built was the humble wheat Farm
The first players contacted with for diplomacy where the people of the at the time independent nation of Neos Knossos as WaferKnight had met up with them and listened in on talks of some kind of union that was being proposed and how the island city state at the time of Thlatle needed to be independent from the apparently rather expansionist Valdreach Imperial Republic and apparently this union would defend its members from such empires, intrested in ensuring the protection of cobbleworks WaferKnight expressed interest of joining, however was told it was unlikely as the union was to be for the subcontinent of Vastaloss.
Later this union would form as the Vastallosi Alliance of Western Rathnir and cobbleworks would attend its first non-founding meeting becoming its first non founding member, a move that was somewhat controversial.
Bakery the at time main speaker for the alliance announced cobblworks inclusion to the world this announcement also made the claim of cobbleworks official, where as beforehand cobblworks had only ever layed claim to its own town as a city state these claimes included the entire peninsula that cobblworks was on, causing some confusion from the city of kaithrat witch had formed on the end of the peninsula.
Directly after this announcement was made WaferKnight realised that the claim overlapped with that of kaithrats and so whent to go talk to them escorted by 8jaaroud.
The talks whent well and a border was settled and so 8j left assuming the need for an armed escort had passed, however this is when an attack came from the players SirMrPanda and TheRealOJOJ members of the Valdreach Imperial Republic who where apparently trying to prove to the government of their nation that they could get away with murder, by murdering WaferKnight and kaithrats leader whao_M, checking dynamap (that showed players location at the time) WaferKnight realised after respawn that the attackers where heading north towards cobblworks and so returned to the VAWR discord vc that she had only left less then 20 mins ago to find various members still chatting, and summoned them to the aid of the town, this was also the first military flex of the new VAWR and the 2 attackers retreated rather quickly, the only damages from the attack was some minor damage to the sanctuary dome.
