Triterrus is a city founded by Das_Dankgineer, Hamieb, TonTheKidRS, and Vinmanh on January 12th, 2019. Located along the crossroads of three different biomes (jungle, forest and savannah), Triterrus grew significantly after its initial construction, increasing in membership and server recognition. All the members of Triterrus know each other in real life and are childhood friends, incorporating community and trust within their goals as a city. Triterrus currently has well over 60 buildings. Duffilufagus made a video featuring almost all of Triterrus https://youtu.be/tfxrKd6mUoM
History
Early Foundings
Upon initially joining the server for the first time, Das_Dankgineer, Hamieb, TonTheKidRS and Vinmanh founded a base together, but quickly realized that it was too close to Spawn to guarantee safety. This fact was confirmed upon Hamieb's discovery of a crafting table placed nearby their base, and the realization that the location had been discovered before. Thus, the four set out on a journey through the nether to find a new base, this time much farther away.
The crew settled on a shallow lake surrounded by jungle, forest and savannah biomes; due to this geographic oddity, the four teammates decided to name the future city "Triterrus", literally meaning "three lands". Shortly after founding their new base, the four invited three more members, Duffilufagus, Passaconaway, and anthonys244, respectively. However, when Passaconaway was making his way to Triterrus, he was ambushed by two players.
A Larger Presence
On February 9th, 2019, in order to establish themselves as a legitimate and recognized city, Das_Dankgineer, Hamieb and TonTheKidRS met with ostrich1414 in his former city Quinsigamond. With the three teammates representing Triterrus and ostrich1414 arriving on behalf of his city Struthio, the two entities signed a cooperative peace treaty, forging an alliance between them. Thus, Triterrus became one of Struthio's most important allies, with the two heavily relying on each other for support and trade.
Later, on February 13th, 2019, Das_Dankgineer, on behalf of Triterrus, declared war on SimCoin, a cryptocurrency being promoted by a player of the same name. This lead to two short battles in the PvP world, with SimCoin and b9b9 fighting Das_Dankgineer and Hamieb. Although the first battle resulted in a victory for Triterrus, including the death of SimCoin, the second battle was a draw.
The Conquest Over talksalot011
On March 27, 2019, Hamieb and Das_Dankgineer led an expedition into the spawn area, finding talksalot011's outpost in the process. Here, they discovered the mythical Sand Pillars of talksalot011. These pillars were the subjects of the two part YouTube documentary "Building Pillars of Sand With Torches." (https://youtu.be/2UO1Xr9XYkE) In the dead of night, Hamieb and Das_Dankgineer grabbed a torch and stole the legendary pillars. The pillars remained in Triterrus up until the founding of Byzantium, where they currently reside. Talksalot011 has responded to the attack with relative disinterest, since even he does not understand the value of the pillars. Anthonys244 declared the pillars to be blasphemous, and using the sands’ gravity he lowered both of the pillars by one block. This caused Talksalot011 to call him a fly.
Decline and Fall
Triterrus was abandoned on May 21st, 2019, mainly because the team decided that the base was too close to spawn for it to be suitable for a long term base of operations. On February 17th, 2020, it was raided by ostrich1414 with help from Zepheron, cheesy chips22, and AntHand. The raid was done in retaliation to Byzantium’s raid on Yittrium earlier that year, as all of the raiders of Yittrium were also members of Triterrus. Zepheron recorded the raid which can be found here. https://youtu.be/OBdRvUx5578
A few days later, on February 23rd, ostrich1414 returned along with cheesy_chips22, AntHand, Lord1 and CrackyJoe. The five proceeded to severely grief and destroy Triterrus, lacing several notable buildings and areas with TNT. Shortly after the grief, these players declared war on Byzantium, with Byzantium retaliating and declaring war on them in response.
