==== Founding ====
==== Founding ====
- Xyyz0 sent funds for its founding.
YoOscar had previously played on Terra Nova, and upon joining Terra Aurora, had no plans of establishing a town. Receiving an invite from nation leader Xyyz0, YoOscar was urged on to create a town East of Phoenix as a way to expand the Euphoria Empire. YoOscar, LiviMotchi and Xyyz0 travelled to the area abeforementioned, establishing the town of Sierra Vista. Upon creating the town, YoOscar stepped out of claims, only to be immediately killed by an unknown hunter garbed in full netherite. This marked the beginning of the presence of hunters in Sierra Vista's territories. A week after expanding at least 20 chunks, it was through the totally inconspicious message of 911Saph that highlighted Sonora's aggression for any towns expanding South (Sierra Vista did in fact expand south).  
- Threats are made by Saph in content with its founding.
- Hunter kills YoOscar right after town is created.


==== Prelude ====
==== Prelude ====
- Construction of the giant floating circle and town spawn
During YoOscar and LiviMotchi's time at Grand Canyon, planning began for their soon-to-be home, the floating circle. As strange as it was, it was a plan soon mirrored from Grand Canyon as a prototype and fully created above Sierra Vista's town spawn, serving as their home. This marked the beginning of activity in Sierra Vista, as both co-mayors agreed to expand the town land into a flat plane of grass. The development of the town spawn and the first residential homes enticed new players to join the town, quickly growing in numbers as Sierra Vista became home to the first few residents such as computergeekpete, kalash, and other names long forgotten. The development of the first roads also served as a prelude towards the formation of the first residential district.


==== Interlude ====
==== Interlude ====
- Joe hawley and the griefers
On April 15th, YoOscar invited a player named Joe_Hawley, marking the beginning of many events to come. Joe_Hawley expressed interest in owning a plot, but went beyond - travelling into the nearby wilderness to begin a project he called "the castle". Not percieving the extent of Joe_Hawley's constantly activity in the wilderness, his actions were ignored as just another resident's strange antics. However, these thoughts were quickly changed. Just a day later, Joe_Hawley had asked to invite another friend of his, SteelCove. The two got to work in the wilderness, working on their project castle (it was not a castle). Just another day later, their numbers doubled, including the players of Lizapiz and theoryofepic. Now finally noticing what was occuring, YoOscar entered the wilderness, only to be greeted with the largest man-made structure he had ever saw. Located a hundred blocks suspended in the air, the "castle" was actually a floating landmass of a jumble of blocks, one block thick and spanning hundreds and hundreds of blocks North and East. It was essentially the world's largest platform, eye-soringly visible from the EarthMC dynamap. These were the series of events that led to the beginning of heavy hunter presence, as their time in the wilderness most definitely attracted hunters from all over to come and investigate for themselves. In the meantime, Joe_Hawley and friends caused mayhem around the town, trapping a resident in a bubble elevator with an iron golem which they somehow got it to attack the resident, earning themselves 9 gold. These actions at first went unnoticed, but YoOscar and LiviMotchi quickly caught on, warning them of trying anything (foreshadow, it would not work).
- April
 
- self explanatory
It was when the floating land-mass was finally finished that the hunters had finally arrived. Escaping the wrath of the bloodthirsty hunters, YoOscar urged Joe_Hawley and his friends to stay in claims, but it seemed like they either did not care or actually found excitement in being hunted down. The latter proved to be the answer, highlighting an important part of their personalities that contributed to YoOscar's suspicions that they were not normal people. This lead to the creation of the first wither rose trap, situated under Joe_Hawley's residence, yet was only successful in trapping one single hunter. This series of events, coupled with the growing number of Joe_Hawley's friends slowly led to the cataclysmic incidents that followed.
- giant floating land mass in wilderness
 
- creation of first wither rose trap
Approximately a week after the group joined, it was when disaster struck. Given YoOscar and LiviMotchi's limited activity on the server, Joe_Hawley and their friends saw this as their chance to strike. It was unknown to YoOscar at that time, but residents were able to break blocks at t spawn and it's surrounding chunks due to YoOscar's mistake in forgetting to turn off resident perms there. Joe_Hawley and their friends exploited this, blocking up to the co-mayors' floating circle home and destroying everything. Pets were not spared, and at least 50 thousand blocks destroyed as they broke chests, set blocks alight, and blowing up the home before leaving the town with a few ominous messages. The fact that they did not take any valuable possessions lends to the fact that they were maniacs in nature, who found joy in causing pain and suffering for others without gaining an advantage for themselves. YoOscar and LiviMotchi later logged on EMC that day, finding themselves a town they had built for the past few months, on fire.
- mass hunter appearances due to continuous time in wilderness

- YoOscar's revenge for griefing town spawn and other chunks
It was simply said that YoOscar would not let such a severe town grief go unanswered. As LiviMotchi tended to recruting new residents and rebuilding the town with the help of mods rolling back, YoOscar began hunting down the four individuals responsible.
 
- 2 days of hunting -> leading to the final fight -> 4v1 YoOscar wins. Collects JoeHawley's armour to put on display
