The Kingdom of Melonhold, or just Melonhold for short, is a build project conducted by Sockholderz, being his first major build project on the server. It officially began on the 22nd of February, 2024, with the construction of its first building, the lighthouse.

Concept

Melonhold is a society of humanoid melons, artificially created and ruled by a royal family, the eldest bloodline of the melon people. The melon people are conditioned to look after each other, providing their lives to keep the kingdom prosperous. However, as the kingdom grows, many of its citizens wonder of their true creator, asking existential questions which, to some, the royal blood have been dodging.

The greater story of Melonhold is intended to be unraveled though individual stories, clues, hidden structures, and written books hidden in each structure in Melonhold.

History

The Beginning

Sockholderz came up with the idea of Melonhold after having rewatched Adventure Time for the second time. Due to his appreciation of the cartoon, along with him already working on a melon-related project on the server, as well as feeling generally inspired to create, Melonhold was born sometime in the middle of February, 2024.

The Melonhold lighthouse as of the 9th of April

After taking about a week to find a suitable location, he began building Melonhold's first structure, the lighthouse. This marks the official start of the Melonhold project on February 22, 2024.


In the months that followed, Sockholderz would continue to smooth out the terrain with moss, preferring its saturated greenness and uniformity over the standard grass of the land. He would build an observatory structure, followed by a rounded cliff face that followed the naturally generated terrain of the land. Finally, he began outlining the wall that would divide the loose outer structures of Melonhold from the inner.

After a few months, however, Sockholderz's creativity began to wear thin. So he put the project on pause until he felt creative again.

The Second Burst of Creativity

In the middle of July, Sockholderz would return to SimPvP, feeling refreshed and ready to revisit Melonhold. Upon finding it exactly as he left it, he spent his first days terraforming on and off, still brainstorming ideas of greater buildings. And on July 20, 2024, Melonhold would receive its latest major structure: the laboratory and home belonging to the kingdom's own "scientist."
