History

Pre-Terra Nova

Before the initial announcement of Terra Nova, Synargle was still playing on Classic somewhat regularly. When the update was eventually announced Syn decided to help pursue the nation of Papacy Worldwide (PWW) which was being led by former Pope, Sarmango. The PWW was to be a globalist nation made by old players for old players from Classic. This was however until October when the release date of Terra Nova was revealed and a list of updates on how the server will function wads released following the reveal. One of the new features announced was a new range limit around nation capitals, meaning only towns within the range radius of the capital could join the nation. Players dispersed from the PWW after the news has hit a roadblock in their former plans, with some players flocking to Panama and Judah. Syn having nowhere-else

to go at that time consulted other players in similar positions to their own and started conversing to ultil0l and moope787. After a short time, it was decided between them all to plan and form the Holy Roman Empire or the HRE. During this time they managed to invite more than a few players to the nation such as Zebbss, EchoOcelot and Jooey83 They went as far as to start drafting a Charter for the nation and to plan for Denmark to join the HRE. They also encountered problems like war with Sweden and Prussia. Deciding it wasn't worth the effort and noting the dwindle in activity, Syn and moope787 both left the state and would eventually choose to join Byzantium a few days before release as they were already friendly with its leaders. Synargle offered to found the capital themself during early access and to help the nation plan ahead before the server launch.

Before Launch and Founding Constantinople

Early access began on October 26th and marked the beginning of Terra Nova. Synargle joined right on start, spawning in Eastern India. From there Syn headed straight for the Bosporus Strait to be the first to settle the town of Constantinople. Being successful, the founding of Constantinople marked the first town of Byzantium to made and would be further noted in server history as the first mark of Byzantium on the map. While non-donators couldn't join until the official launch on the Nov 1st, Syn chose to productively use their time before the launch to gather resources and start developing the town. As Syn prepared for the launch they herded cows and sheep to form farms for a plentiful food source and was one of the first players on the server to make an enchantment table. Synargle would continue to mine for hours on end to find gold and start expanding the town westwards from the Golden Horn. Constantinople was expanded by all the available eight chunks before the launch.

After Launch and Birth of Byzantium

Upon the night of the launch on November 1st, Synargle handed the town over to the Augusta Florene while also becoming a Town Councillor. Many other players arrived shortly. During the early hours after launch, Syn helped others in the town to recruit players. Constantinople would eventually hit the top of the town's list and would float around in the first page for the following weeks. On Discord, Syn offered to help manage the Byzantium discord and self-nominated themself to be the First Chairman on the Committee for Foreign Affairs which required them to help advise the Augusta on foreign-related matters. They continued to gather resources and mine gold to help reach the goal of forming a towny nation as well as supporting in other places such as giving gold to the towns of Ancyra and Troy. Syn was named as the Patriarch of Constantinople following the creation of the Byzantium State as well as receiving an honorary seat on the Byzantium Senate. Syn would take part in the first Senate hearing and went on to help finish drafting the Constitution of Byzantium.

Christmas in December

As agreed upon with the Augusta of Byzantium, Synargle was granted leave from the nation during December to pursue a special project. On December 1st, Syn founded the town of Christmas in the Hebrides located in Upper Scotland and joined the UK on the following day. The town of Christmas slowly develops as the month goes on.
