Argemone is a castle-town built mostly by Pippenger and SirTashingdon in January 2016. Porkington, ae0, and members of Orion's team lived there as well. Argemone was originally built as a part of The Principate. Two years after the Principate's fall, Argemone was reclaimed by The League and turned into a publicly available base, the coordinates available to all.
The base is available for download.
History
Argemone was founded early in 2016, during the Great War between The Principate and the Blue Orchid Cult.
Not long after its completion, Argemone was abandoned, not because it was discovered, but because The Principate collapsed and Pippenger left the server. The base has sat largely unused, but also ungriefed, ever since then.
Layout
Argemone is a castle town, comprised of a wide, relatively low square outer wall holding farms and small houses, and within that, a taller, circular wall with round towers. In the innermost section of town is the central tower, as well as many functional buildings such as a library and a storehouse.
Outer Walls
The city is protected by outer walls and a locked gate. In the grassy areas between the outer and inner walls, there are several buildings.
Farm House
A small house to store chicken products.
Water Gate
A small back gate and dock. Absolutely scandalous.
Windmill
Argemone gets 90% of its energy from renewable resources such as wind power (it actually doesn't).
Villager Breeder
Most of the villagers are not allowed into the town, and are instead kept in a box out behind the outer walls.
Katrina's House
A house that Katrina and Orion formerly lived in.
Church
A church mainly meant for decoration, but also for housing a few religious villagers.
Inner Walls
The round inner walls contain the most important buildings of Argemone.
Library
The city library contains a level 3o enchanting table, as well as a few villager librarians.
Furnace House
The furnace house was used to produce stone brick for the large walls.
Storage House
Space for extra resources.
Residential House
A house lived in by Pippenger and other residents of the city.

Central Tower
