Xanereth

Leader of Bermuda, Union of Jacks, and Paper Street Soap Company
Early History
Xanereth first joined EMC (Nova) on Nov 30th, 2018 under the alias of ImMidder. He ventured though the ruined towns of North Korea then left shortly after being trapped in a claimed hole, unable to leave. No towns would invite him. He would then return in 2019 a few months later under the alias of brlyliteskin or BarelyLightskin and escaped North Korea, travelled through Antarctica, visited towns in New York and Colorado in mid 2019, then was invited to Edmonton, Alberta in 2020 by xGoat_ and taken in by Salish as a builder and tunnel miner. It was then he finally chose to be called Xanereth.
Alberta and the creation of Paper Street Soap Company
Shortly after gaining the trust of Salish and Albertan players, Xanereth began experimenting with the atmosphere of the server. He opened a shop in Maluku called "The Den" and soon moved the shop closer to home at Alberta. This allowed him to sell the cheapest enchantment books on the market while maintaining good stock. It was at the time when PvP and claim-hiding was a popular topic. In 2020, Xanereth hosted his very first private tournament with no prize. This is where it all began. Alberta Casino, something Xanereth had been working on, became a dead project and was soon replaced with prototype arenas and trap designs. In 2021 Xanereth ran for Albertan Government and became chancellor. He hated the geopolitical atmosphere and couldn't stand the idea of claiming land that isn't claimed in game, "Discord politics". Soon inactivity in Alberta grew and Xanereth became impatient. "I would see players join and leave every week, almost every house was empty, until every house was empty. I had to leave."
Losing Everything for Anything
On October 14th, 2021, after saving enough gold from the shop in Alberta, Xanereth went to claim the recently fallen lands of Bermuda, and made it a nation. He destroyed the beautiful buildings, and demolished mountains. He created a small arena and found an exploit which allowed for arena plots to be keep-inventory enabled when they are close enough to nation spawn. This was then patched the next day, and Paper Street Soap Company was born. For the next several months, Xanereth would host fist fight only style tournaments in a redstone modified arena with gold, player heads, and rare items as prizes. Cheaters would be plummeted to the depths as the floor beneath them slid away. Then came a new era, Aurora. Xanereth would retire the old Bermuda, but still come back to fix the land as a side project, for it was transformed over the years.
Aurora (Current)
On 5/1/2022, Terra Aurora opened for early access. Xanereth was one of the first 50 players in, and immediately started mining. Unfortunately, the server crashed two times, and Xanereth fell asleep in a 300 player queue. He would then wake up on 5/2/2022 and create the town of Bermy with the help of Superiorglitch, Joel1sHere, and Bearyvalerie. Bermy then formed an alliance with the nation of Cuba, joining as a Province. This time however, Xanereth focused on preserving the geographical authenticity of Bermuda, and engaging more with the community.
The Cuba Raid
On May 15th, 2022, Xanereth and an unnamed Paper Street Soap Company operative would orchestrate and carry through an undercover raid in the nation of Cuba after a few popular fighters were kicked from the nation. Recent controversy had also drove Xanereth to begin formulating a backup plan. Xanereth planted a inconspicuous redstone shop into the side of Cuba spawn which sold invisibility potions. This was a cover-up, to ensure Xanereth would look like he was potion farming for a side hustle, when in reality he was preparing, and waiting for the right moment to strike. It was then Xanereth had discovered that a town member of Bermy was robbed of his shop items. Despite this only being a small loss, the two decided it was time to go through with the plan once and for all. Xanereth breached top side of the grinder, falling near the grinder's center and plugged the hole with stone while a player was using it, ensuring no drops would be claimed by anyone else. He stole 6 blaze spawners. A small victory for Bermuda.
