Looking for somewhere to found a town, GymSock17 purchased [[Premium]] and joined the Terra Aurora map opening day on the 1st of May 2022. After waiting for hours and repeated map crashes, Gym was able to get on and walked through Mongolia and into the Gobi Desert, when he received an invite to [[Germany (Aurora)|Germany]] by his long-time friend from the real world, [[YellowVictini]]. Yellow wanted Gym to stay in Germany with him and start a town together in East Prussia, but Gym was tired of the peasants and detritus that infected Europe on [[Terra Nova]] and expected it wouldn't take long for the same thing to happen again on the new map, so he sailed out from the Baltic Sea, through the Straits of Denmark, North Sea, and the English Channel into the Pacific. From there, he sailed to the Canary Islands, intending to start a town on Grand Canary. However, it was getting late, and Gym had to log off for the day to go to work. When he came back the next day, some fool had already placed a claim on the island (this fool would later lose it for not logging back in on time like an idiot). Gym decided that even the Canary Islands were too big of a target and too massive to claim for his own, and decided to sail south, to the southernmost of the Macaronesia archipelago, the Cape Verde Islands. | Looking for somewhere to found a town, GymSock17 purchased [[Premium]] and joined the Terra Aurora map opening day on the 1st of May 2022.

After arriving and setting up a hidden base camp, Gym got off once again for the day. The next morning, Gym got on and finally scrapped together enough gold and founded his town, which he simply named '''Cape Verde'''. Immediately, Gym got to work on building infrastructure and expanding the town's claims to the rest of the island of Santiago, the largest island in the archipelago. | After arriving and setting up a hidden base camp, Gym got off once again for the day.

Once Santiago was brought under the town in its entirety, the town began to expand towards the other islands of the archipelago. First bringing together the southern island chain, then the northern chain. | |||

Saint Anthony, the second-largest island in the archipelago, is almost entirely undisturbed from how it appears from the day the Aurora map launched because the island has been illegally occupied by a squatter. This lone squatter is an enigma, as they do not move their character, they do not talk, they do not mine, they do not build. All they do is long in every day, vote, and log off. They do this every single day with no exceptions and have done so for over two years now. Any and all attempts to message the squatter through signs placed in their controlled vicinity and by messaging in-game have all gone unanswered.
