When GymSock17 first logged in, he took a look at the DynMap to see what land was available. He spawned in Europe, which was dominated by a player named [[Adolf Hitlar (leader of Nazi Germany)|Adolf_Hitlar]].

He spawned in Europe, which was dominated by a player named [[Adolf Hitlar (leader of Nazi Germany)|Adolf_Hitlar]]. With a name like that, Gym didn't want to get involved and decided to look elsewhere. He sailed around the African continent. During this journey, Gym was attacked by players when arriving at a town in the Mozambique Channel, narrowly escaping while being shot at with arrows. He decided that the only practical answer was to settle somewhere other players had not yet touched. Looking around the DynMap, he decided that the Indonesia was largely undisturbed and decided to settle on an island in the area. There, he chose the island of [[Timor (Classic)|Timor]], founding a town with the island's name on the eastern tip of the island. | ||
Timor became a project of GymSock17's. The island was thick with jungle trees that housed many hostile mobs in the night, and Gym began to clear the island for construction. Soon, enough of the eastern side of Timor was cleared of Jungle that Gym built a house for himself and a pier. Gym was quite happy with how things were turning out. He had found his tropical island paradise. | Timor became a project of GymSock17's.

==== Rise of Timor ==== | |||
The jungle was beaten back, one chopped tree at a time. Timor was the first town in the archipelago to be founded, a beacon of civilization in the wilderness. GymSock invited a personal friend to the town, bringing the population of Timor up to 2. It was around this time he was invited to join his first nation, [[Classic:Prestige WorldWide (PWW)|Prestige WorldWide]]. | |||

GymSock17 made his return to EarthMC on Terra Nova months after the map launched. YellowVictini, his old friend in the real world and supporter on Classic, invited him back, needing someone to hold a contested area in the Balkans on behalf of [[Nova:SPQR|Byzantium]]. With Yellow being a friend and all that he had done for GymSock on Classic, GymSock felt obligated to support him, and agreed to return to the server. The town the Byzantines wanted Gym to take over had an inactive own and was part of a rival nation, so they asked him to cozy up to that nation's ruler and get him to hand the town over to him.

The town the Byzantines wanted Gym to take over had an inactive own and was part of a rival nation, so they asked him to cozy up to that nation's ruler and get him to hand the town over to him. Once that had been done, he had orders to spy on another smaller nation in the region by becoming friendly with the leader of said nation. | ||
Gym was asked to take up residence in a town with an inactive mayor. Unfortunately, this mayor, running the town for the nation he was tasked to spy on did not log into the town in time, and it fell into ruin. Gym was forced to reclaim the town, chunk by chunk. | |||

GymSock17 signed onto Nosta on its Premium start date, the 17th of April, 2026. He was impressed with how much more stable the launch was compared to Aurora four years prior. Unsure of where to settle, Gym spent the first few days wandering the map solo, gathering resources, only having what he could carry on his back. He sailed oceans, wandered towns and shops, seeing if anywhere spoke out to him. He wanted an island. Just ''<u>one</u>'' island this time, unlike having to manage a multitude of them like he had in Aurora with Cape Verde. Nostra was not like Aurora, however.

It was much vaster, its size dwarfed Aurora and Nova, and humbled the old Classic map. | ||
