New Ishtar is a city founded by AtacFauxpas in the spring of 2022. Originally serving as a villager trading hall, the former outpost is now expanding into what can be considered an entire city. With several farms, the city seeks to outdo its predecessor in terms of both physical size and influence on the server.
History
Founding
There was no exact date that New Ishtar was founded, instead the city grew organically. After regaining access to his account in February, AtacFauxpas returned to the server after a 1-2 year hiatus. Seeking to regear, he set out to create a villager trading hall which his previous solo base lacked, and built a villager breeder at the first village he could find. He also set up a pen of cows and sheep. While building these, AtacFauxpas realized that this location would actually serve as a good location for a base due to the natural materials found near it, including a large stone mountain and a spruce forest.
As time went on, AtacFauxpas would set up multiple utilities, such as a raid farm and /portals linking to other dimensions and spawn.
Growth
While the city grew rapidly under the sole administration of AtacFauxpas, he still sought to invite other people to the base in order to further encourage growth. He invited those who he could trust, and allowed them to invite anybody else that they would deem trustworthy. Laztec, dacegod863, and ChuckFuk were invited all around the same time in May of 2022. The city has no formal planning, with most of the structures being free-built.
Brick Brotherhood
New Ishtar became the home of the Brick Brotherhood, with all members of the group being invited by Atacfauxpas shortly after the group's formation. This has led to many of the structures being built primarily out of brick variants(mostly stone bricks), although there are other structures that are built from other materials.
Modern New Ishtar
There are several districts to the city that have all been primarily been built by different players. There is the old district that was built by AtacFauxpas. A canal district with structures primarily built of stone bricks was built by ChuckFuk. dacegod863 has worked on his own district near a river that has used a wider variety of blocks in the structures, and is also notable for containing a stone farm and an autosorting machine.
