| ||||||||||||||||||||||
Fort Aurelian was located in North America on Terra Aurora and had 24 residents at reset. It was also the former capital of the nation of Manicouagan, and was apart of Manicouagan County, a county within Cascadia. Fort Aurelian was a large, as the name suggests, fort made of deepslate. Inside were several large apartment buildings built by town builders, WildFlower1509 and snake_man2, as well as many other interesting buildings built by a variety of players.
History
On September 25th of 2023, TylenolEC, ItsGl1tch, InternetCurtains and others traveled with MasterEWild to found the town of Fort Aurelian, they walked invis to avoid hunter attacks on the way. After founding, atTAboycARL and MasterEWild started work on the first Fort Aurelian building. MasterEWild continued to build and recruit over the coming months, buying more plots as needed.
30 Residents
On February 10th, 2024, Fort Aurelian hit 30 residents. It later hit its peak of ~38 several days later.
Town Rename
On May 9th, 2025, Fort Aurelian was temporarily renamed to FA as an experiment to see if the shorter name helped recruiting. The town name remained as FA for the rest of Terra Aurora.
Town Builders
The town had 4 main builders throughout its history, WildFlower1509, snake_man2, Mr_Blaze_117 and the mayor MasterEWild. They were known as the "town builders".
Main Buildings
The Aurelian Archives
The Aurelian Archives was the town's museum which consisted of a variety of artifacts and books, spreading internationally. spirtualmilk was commissioned to build the archives by MasterEWild, while all artifacts and books were gathered by the mayor MasterEWild.
Town Building
The building at the center of the town served two main purposes. One was to serve as a living space for town mayor MasterEWild and the other was as a storage area.
Apartments
There were 2 towering skyscrapers which serve as the town's apartments, one built by snake_man2 and the other later built by WildFlower1509. The apartments were detailed enough to be a cozy and usable area, but simple enough to allow residents to customize the apartments greatly (if they chose an apartment rather than a full plot).
Underground
The Fort Aurelian underground was a vast mined out area under the town. It was originally a barren storage area with just stone as far as you could see but was renovated to be full of parkour, lush lakes, trees and grass. The new underground design was mostly designed by WildFlower1505 and edited and built by MasterEWild.
Torngat Museum
Fort Aurelian contained a small museum dedicated to preserving historical artifacts found in the town of Torngat when it fell. The museum was made due to Laurentia's connections with the former nation of Torngat.
Spawn Building
As the former capital of Manicouagan, Fort Aurelian housed the nation's spawn building. From Manicouagan's merge with Cascadia onwards, the building served as FA's spawn. The project first had to be designed by RuffWoof and MasterEWild and then required hundreds of thousands of blocks to be mined to make room for its underground construction. Frosnite and MasterEWild did a majority of this mining. The building featured various wood and deepslate pillars surrounded by moss and concrete walls with an elegant ceiling. The spawn building also held FA's shop, which sold a variety of items with some of the best deals on the server. Full building credits could be viewed at /t spawn FA.
Laurentian Museum
Fort Aurelian's third museum was one for the nation of Laurentia, the nation that Fort Aurelian was founded in and a part of until Laurentia disbanded. The museum contained artifacts found in various former Laurentian towns and showcased the flags of said towns.
National Gear Reserve
The National Gear Reserve was a room, under the Laurentian Museum, which stored a variety of diamond armor. This armor was used for the NGR program which gave members of Manicouagan County free gear if they met certain requirements. The room also contained the National Resource Reserve, a similar program but for all resources rather than just armor. In order to reach said building, you had to use a redstone elevator.
Manicouagan Museum
Fort Aurelian housed a small museum for the nation of Manicouagan, preserving its history.
