=History (Nova)=

===Beginning===
Jo_Star's initial connection with the server took place on August 10, 2021, following a recommendation from AghastBlock, who encouraged him to join alongside Aghast and a group of mutual friends. Upon joining the server, Jo_Star received an invitation from Aghast to join a specific Town called [[Rovaniemi|Finnish_Inquis.]] (now known as Rovaniemi). Although Jo_Star participated in gameplay, town growth, expansion, and government service for a few weeks, he eventually became inactive. However, on October 15, 2021, Jo_Star returned to the server in response to a favor request from Aghast. This prompted him to re-engage with the community and resume his participation in the server, nation, and town's activities. 
=== Holstein ===
After Jo_Star rejoined the server, Aghast requested Jo_Star to reclaim the ruined town of Holstein. The town had fallen into ruin as the mayor, TraumaSoft went inactive. Aghast funded the initial 64 gold to re-establish the town. Jo_Star then proceeded to reclaim most of the important buildings including the main building, brewing room, TraumaSoft's old house, and Aghast's Office. Keeping the most significant remains alive.
