Florestria is a city founded by ostrich1414 and SkykirryChycho on February 20th, 2019. Located in a flower forest along a lake, Florestria features a series of beach houses and buildings dedicated to forming a lush, tranquil lake community. The city has grown significantly, with each of its members adding their own unique touches to form a distinct community and culture.
History
A Search for a New Home
After first joining the server on February 4th, 2019, SkykirryChycho was brought to the public base Quinsigamond by ostrich1414. As the city was somewhat damaged due to various griefs and raids, SkykirryChycho made it her mission to repair the base, and did so very effectively: she was able to completely fill in a massive crater that plagued the south side of the city, as well as other miscellaneous repairs. However, as a major griefing threat loomed over the city, SkykirryChycho and ostrich1414 decided to move out and settle in a new location, far from any intruders.
On February 19th, 2019 ostrich1414 discovered the location which would server as the future base, and on the following day, February 20th, the city was officially founded. SkykirryChycho built the first house there, a beach house located along the shores of the large lake, and ostrich1414 attempted to emulate her style shortly thereafter. Ostrich1414 also devised the name of the city at this time, choosing the name "Florestria"; as the city was located in a flower forest, ostrich1414 incorporated the Spanish word for flowers, "flores", in the title. A few days later, ostrich1414 built the city's first tower, Verduras Tower, modeled after the Pippenger Memorial Tower in Quinsigamond, and featuring the same farming silo design. Below is a picture of early Florestria and its first three buildings:
Florestria Grows
Shortly after, Florestria began to grow significantly, with the addition of many new buildings and farms. Ostrich1414 constructed a cactus farm and a sugar cane farm, and SkykirryChycho continued her beach house designs with a guest house and a banner museum, among other things.
Around late February - early March 2019, three more players were added to Florestria's members list. MrBulletRage, an ally of SkykirryChycho, was brought to the town, where he assisted with landscaping and terraforming. Ostrich1414 also brought the player AntHand to Florestria; in turn, AntHand brought his own ally, egnaroky. AntHand contributed significantly to the town's growth, colonizing a nearby island on the lake and constructing another tower, as well as a yacht and a series of docks and bridges. Below is an image of Florestria during this time:
By mid-March, the latest addition to the city was MoWobbler, who assisted AntHand in his construction of Florestria's greatest project yet: Florestria City Hall. AntHand served as the head of architecture while MoWobbler focused on furnishing the interior, and SkykirryChycho was elected as the city's mayor. Nearby, ostrich1414 constructed the Embassy of Struthio, his main base, as well as an afk fishing farm. Sengorn_Leopard would visit during this time, and in late March he built an automatic flower farm, cementing Florestria's status as a floral powerhouse. Overall, the city had grown in size, quality and membership significantly by the beginning of April 2019.
The Pufferfish Genocide
Perhaps Florestria's darkest moment (aside from ostrich1414 accidentally throwing SkykirryChycho into lava) was the Pufferfish Genocide of March 2019: egnaroky, attempting a disruptive, yet harmless prank, hid pufferfish all along Florestria's roads. When stepped on, the player would take damage and be inflicted with poison. Enraged, ostrich1414 declared war on the pufferfish, threatening to "relocate" them to camps and execute them. Forcing AntHand to comply against his will, ostrich1414 mercilessly slaughtered several innocent pufferfish, eradicating the creatures from Florestrian society. To this day, the genocide remains the city's darkest hour.
