Beginning Era

Introduction
The Beginning Era began when the server was officially released (July 9th) and ended a month later, as Europe became a continent full of monarchies and began expanding its empires outside of the continent.

History
On July 9th the server opened to the public, and towns like Alexandria, London, and Kauhajoki were founded on the first day. Eventually, towns such as Bremen (Now Hamburg), Madrid, Jerusalem, and Moscow would, along with the starting towns of the server, dominate the politics of Europe and create the first nations. Most conflict during this era was focused in Southern Europe and Central Europe, with towns like Rome, Magdeburg, and Naples being in the spotlight of these conflicts. Outside of Europe, nothing much had happened. After a month of being open, the beginning era ended as major nations were created and players attained gear for war.

Europe
The first conflict was over the land of the Rhineland, where Magdeburg opposed the establishment of Essen, who sought an independent kingdom from Germany called the Kingdom of The Rhineland. Towns such as Madrid and Moscow intervened and backed Essen because the claims of Magdeburg were outrageous and their reasons for them were "because Wextra agreed to them". The second conflict was the crisis of the Italian Peninsula, where nations/towns like Spain, Moscow, Judea, Magdeburg, and Rome were on the verge of war because nobody could agree on a set border in the area. The crisis was resolved when Rome and Spain agreed that Magdeburg should give up northern Italy in exchange for Spain keeping southern Italy and the Holy League was formed.. 'Civil War' in Britain was averted when Hampusk, who was called a dictator, surrendered the throne of Britain to the mayor of Paris (or British France as some would call it), tobias550. The time up to the creation of Russia was very idle. Not many people got on the server and it would see 4 or 5 people at most on. On August 6th, Russia was created, and the coronation of the Tsar was planned with the construction of Moscow's own version of the winter palace. On August 9th, the last day of the era, Magdeburg was forced out of Europe and in the towns stead the German Empire was created by xWaazes_ who deposed Magdeburg, which ushered in the Imperii Era.

Asia
Not too much is known with Asia as there are only a couple towns and they aren't very active. The only nation to form in Asia was the nation of Jing, with the exception of Judea, but it was formed by Alexandria. On August 9th, the end of the Beginning Era and the start of the Imperii Era, the town of Nagasaki was created by refugees from Magdeburg, who were driven out of Europe by multiple nations.

Africa
In Africa, Salisbury was created on the 14th and a week later, formed Rhodesia. However it collapsed fairly quickly when the leader decided to migrate to Rome. In the north, Alexandria and Jerusalem created the nation of Judea, while the town of Gibraltar expanded its borders into Morocco.

The Americas
As most of the events of this era took place in Europe, nothing much happened in the Americas. Only a few towns sprung up and most of them joined the nation of Spain. Only one remains independent and that's the town of Springfield, founded by Wilhelm, a jihadist.
