The history of Minecraftia is split up in several periods called “eras.” The end and consequently start of an Era is caused by significant historical events.

The Five Eras of Minecraftia can be described as such:

First Era:

Settlers arrive in modern-day Attica, settling around what would become known as Oldspawn in later centuries. Eventually a few Ancient Houses rise up.

Second Era:

Time of kingdoms, although in the modern day these would more aptly be called city states

Minecraftian Dark Ages:

A period of chaos and unrest after the fall of all kingdoms due to the Great Grief at the end of the Second Era

Third Era:

Rebirth of the Kingdom of Kythira, conquest of the old world and the lands beyond. Across the Narrow Sea the future Empire of Imperius begins to form.

Fourth Era:

With two Empires reigning over the world, a period of long peace is ushered in. Although the occasional conflicts still occur, the world has never seen such prosperity before.

Fifth Era:

After the fall of the Von Dragestein dynasty at the end of the Fourth Era, following the Dervich Incident, the Kythiran Empire is now the sole monarchy left in the world. With independence movements popping up all across Minecraftia the future is uncertain.


First Era

  • Creation of the world on the 15th of April, 2012.
  • Founding of the First Home.
  • Creation of what would later become the City of Oldspawn.
  • Kythira is founded, first city state and Kingdom in the world, ushering in an end to the First Era.

Second Era

  • Kythira is expanded, King's Mountains mostly flattened.
  • Kingdom of Helmsdeep is founded on the Helms Mountains, on the other side of the Valley Lands.
  • Annexation of the Valley Lands by Kythira to prevent Helmsdeep expansion into the North.
  • Western Valleylands handed to Squarepantstoo by Kythira, Castle Square founded.
  • Kythira attemps to establish a alliance with Helmsdeep.
  • Helmsdeep refuses to accept the annexation of the Valley Lands unless Kythira pays massive reparations. Diplomacy fails.
  • Kythira blocks Helmsdeep passage to Oldspawn by land and blocks Helmsdeep's entrance to the sea, sets up heavy sanctions.
  • Kythira constructs several bunkers across the valley lands to prevent Helmsdeep from moving north.
  • World Embassy constructed in Kythira, meant to provide everyone in the world with a means to persue diplomatic solutions. Helmsdeep refuses to attend any meeting, claiming that its very position reveals the Embassy's bias.
  • Helmsdeep, unable to trade and losing resources fast due to their continuing expansion south and west, sneaks west between a small valley of the King's Mountains into Oldspawn, and begins the first of their infamous raids.
  • Kythira gives Helmsdeep a ultimatum to stops their raids, Helmsdeep refuses.
  • War breaks out between Kythira and Helmsdeep.
  • Raids in the Riverlands continue.
  • Whazajottom flees the raids in Oldspawn with a small band of brothers eastwards through snowy mountains until reaching the Narrow Sea and setteling on the Peninsula of Peril. Here, on a hill, the first stones of Redstonia are laid. Whazajottom crowns himself King of Redstonia.
  • First battles between Kythira and Helmsdeep break out on the Valley Lands.
  • Landbattles end in a stalemate, but on the Narrow Sea the Helmsdeep fleet is decisively beaten by Kythira.
  • Helmsdeep has several nightly terror attacks ravage the city of Kythira, and the King of Kythira is forced to sign a truce known as the Treaty of Gladius. In return for peace, Kythira has to pay Helmsdeep massive war reparations and hand over the Valley Lands. When the Kythiran call for help to Redstonia goes unanswered, Kythira agrees.
  • Restoration and expansion of the Kingdoms begins. A massive wooden bridge is built between Kythira and Redstonia, later to be replaced by a stone version named The Twins, in an effort to entice the Redstonians to trade with Kythira as well, since their main trading partner at the time were still the Riverlands.
  • Raids on the Riverlands by Helmsdeep intensifies.
  • Redstonia, seeing that Helmsdeep is currently the most powerful nation in the world, alligns themselves with King Mercenary of Helmsdeep.
  • Kythiran Treasury is moved out of the capital for safekeeping in the case of a second war. The Treasury is however lost in the Riverlands. Kythira keeps this loss a secret however, knowing that otherwise they'll be easily overwhelmed.
  • The Three Kingdoms, on the suggestion of Kythira, allign themselves into the Redstonia Alliance. Kythira, with some of their last resources, constructs the Redstone Tower at the highest point of the King's Mountains, overlooking the Riverlands and Oldspawn. Under the embassy, they also contruct a meeting place for the Alliance.
  • To fight back against the raids in the Riverlands, the Rebel Alliance is formed, meant to hold counter-raids against Helmsdeep and to arm Oldspawn's inhabitants.
  • Kythira makes a secret pact with the Rebel Alliance, becoming a mole for them in the Redstone Alliance and warning against raids.
  • Republic arrives in Oldspawn.
  • Republic builds the Castle of Aquilon, overlooking the valley of the King's Mountains from where the Helmsdeep raiders usually enter the Riverlands.
  • By a combination of resources secretly given by Kythira, and by promising the inhabitants of the Riverlands protection against the raids, Republic names himself First Consul and creates the United Federation of Provinces.
  • Rebel Alliance refuses to cooperate with the Federation
