The crafting cult
The crafting cult was a group of ██████. They had some ancient books that talked about The ultimate crafter, and they made it their goal to summon it. They made a giant Crafting Bench as their Cult gathering place. When they tried summoning it, it ultimately failed. Or so they thought.
It was September 17th 2024 when there was a level 7 earthquake measured in Kingdom Alpha. This was also measurable in the old Crafting cult building. We don’t know where the Crafting Cult did their experiments, but there must’ve been an experiment left. A few hours later people noticed crafting tables around Crafter Cove. No one was alerted by it. A few days later when people went to check, it had spread.
October 2nd 2024 was when Jonathan Smith concluded that the spread of crafting benches was sentient. And so, around 200 years after The crafting cult their demise, they have succeeded in their plan. Jonathan Smith concluded that it is not dangerous, but it requires more experimentation.
October 5th 2024 was when The ultimate crafter claimed it’s first death. Jonathan Smith was doing experiments on the goo of crafting benches when he got swallowed up into it.
The Orchestral Split
At the beginning of the 2000s there was a group of people that got together and settled in the place we now know as the Orchestral Sands. They started working on their farm, a few months after. Farming brought peace and harmony to everyone that came by and joined. After 2 years the Orchstral Sands was like it is today.
Around 2010 there was someone who found a bee, this guy was named Oliver Farma. He brought it to his elders to try and provide food for the bee. But the Elders of the Orchestral sands did not approve of the Bee, cince it would require them to replace some wheat with flowers. Oliver had to flee and hide the Bee.
Oliver didn’t hide well enough, and the Elders tried to take away the bee. But a few other civilians jumped in to help Oliver. Together they protected the bee. After a few weeks they started replanting some wheat with flowers, as some sort of revolution. But that turned into a fight. Jane Seedling ✝ 1990-2010. Harm Smith ✝ 1988-2010. They were both part of the Bee protection team.
This made Oliver & Team run away with the Bee. They ran far, eventually they settled near Kingdom Alpha. They started planting flowers and hoped to find another Bee. They Built A shrine to pray for another Bee. They called their town the Beelievers
After a few months there was a guy named ████████████ from the Orchestral Sands that knocked on the Beelievers door, the Beelievers were ready to attack, but it wasn’t needed. ████████████ was here to bring another Bee that he found held captive in the bunkers of the Orchestral Sands. He came to bring the Bee and then head back home.
████████████ was killed a few days later by Elder █████████ because of treason against the Orchestral Sands.
